The many friends and acqualnt-
ances of Rev. C.. H. Aler, of Deer
field township, will regret to learn
that he is IN critical condition,
He has not been in good health for
some time, and Friday came mere
for medical examination. Because
of his condition, he remained here
at the Kennebec hotel over night,
and the next day he was taken IN

again examined, but because of his
condition an operation was not ad-
vised, and he was returned to his
home. Mr.. Aler, who is 50 years

legion of friends are hoping that
his trouble may not be as serious as

The Michener, MatsOn, Humphries
Faction In Saddle Saturday

At meeting Of the Republican
committee held here Saturday in
the Ohio Power company's office
Myers Van Fossen received the
recommendation for member of the
Morgan county election board. There
were four applicants-Van Fossen
Of Penn township; Carl G. Bark
hurst of Bloom township; M. D.
Dugan, Morgan township, and John
S. Mcbride Of this place. DR.. H. P.
Michener, of Chesterhill, chairman
j, of the Republican committee, pre-
sided. Several committeeman were
not present-in fact it would have
made no difference had none of
them appeared, since it was cut and
dried by Michener, Humphries and
Matson, that Van Fossen was to be
the man. The date Of the meeting
was put off as long as possible, in
order that Humphries, the "high-
cockalorum" of the Republican par
ty in Morgan county, might spend
as many week ends as possible off
from his civil service position in
the state sales tax division, here,
getting the Michener forces lined
up (perhaps it would be better to
say, downing the other faction) :.
There are four Republican candi-
dates who are members of the COM
mittee-Michener, whom the Her.
aid endorsed for representative
more than a year. ago, thinking to
head off any other candidate; Ver-
non Spencer of Meigsville township,
and Hiram Henderson of Manches-
ter, both candidates for county
commissioner, and Robert G.. Weth-
erall of Malta township for coun-
ty treasurer. These men had CIV
en- out the word that since they
were candidates they would not
vote in the committee meeting. But
after Humphries and Chairman
Michener got together they ordered
that they must all vote-and that
too for their candidate, and DR..
Michener was to name the man
w AIiC AO uI0 hoI SAoooC a IldA Ii Jill
Marion township, the hotbed of Re-
publican candidates, he chose one
as near to that township as possi-
BILE. Barkhurst and Dugan had
been promised, it is stated, more
votes than majority of the
committee members. But after
Humphries came and had a confer
ence with Michener, something CD
changed their minds, as the vote
clearly showed. 1t was agreed that
at least one ballot would be taken,
and after the first ballot the low
man would be dropped. First bal
lot was Van Fossen, IL; Barkhurst,
4; Dugan, 1. Second ballot, Van
Fossen, 13; Barkhurst, 8. Thus
ended one of the meanest po-
litical tricks ever attempted in Nor
gan county.
Van FOssen'S recommendation
will be forwarded to the secretary
of state, who will make the ap-
pointment, and if Van Fossen is
named, he will succeed John S. Nc
Bride, who has an outstanding rec
ord as one of the very best election
board members this county ever
had.
