end the series and give the Yankees
their third world championship title

Cubs went scoreless.
Each team scored again in the
eighth, leaving the register five to two
for the game, as the Cubs were unable
to score in their first half of the

WPA workers and say there is no
future for them, under New Deal
government, and say to vote against
the ones that are giving them work !;
elect Republicans and they will all
have steady jobs given them by
factories and individuals. How many
of them then would be hired at good
wages and steady work, and please
state who will hire what factories,
don't need? Some Republican argu-
ments sound like Hoover's article,
''two cars in every garage, and a
chicken in every pot"
We. should think they would be
ashamed to criticize constantly the
state and, federal government for
the many useful things they have
done for Morgan county at little
cost now, or even to the tax payers
of county and should use some of
their influence to get more things for
the county.
No one outside of office holders

are interested SO much whether a
person is a Democrat or a Republi-
can if he makes a good honest and
businesslike official and that they
get their moneys worth in return.

LETTER FROM A TAXPAYER

Editor Democrat:-Some Repub-
licans rave about the terrible things
the Democrat state and national Of
is needed Now some of these Re-
publicans are pretty good fellows,
but they have gone what some call
nuts" over the Republican party.
The writer wonders If they want
things run right that they don't
come out for a clean up and business
administration in Morgan county,
which is needed so badly.
Wonder If they ever stop to think
where Morgan county would have
been if the state and federal govern
ment had not done practically every
thing that has been done in the
county. If they hadn't Morgan
county would have been in the same
condition it was 80 years ago. Prac-
tically all of the county road sys-
TEN has been built with gas and
tag money with some land owners
donating toward it. The state has
taken over many miles of roads,
streets and bridges. For years the
state has sent in tremendous sums
for the schools, and the government
has helped in many useful projects,
giving work to men and women that
the people of the county had no en-
Dloyment for and God only knows
what would have happened if the
government had not taken care Of
them
1t would be interesting news 20
many If someone would have Audi
tor Strong figure up the bonded in.
debtedness of Morgan county, when
the state gasoline tax laws were
passed and how the majority Of
these bonds have been paid Off
Without the gasoline and auto tax,
Morgan county could never have
paid these bonds or had any traffic
bound roads.
It's time the county pays some
back into the state and federal gov
ernment, but it's only a drop in the
bucket to what they receive Some
Republicans try to discourage the

ELECT SAWYER
Editor Democrat:

Editor Democrat
The Democrat nominee, Charles
Sawyer, should be elected, because
he is capable and fit to be governor
of all of the people. He is the Lin
coin type in personality and beIieyes
IN truth and universal justice and
detests quarrels and discord among
persons and groups. BY carving
such noble principles into the Ohio
state house, the working man. the
business man, the aged and the un-
employed are assured the benefits.
which are possible only when con-
s1derate. efficient governor works in
harmony with our state legislature
and the federal government.
Today our federal government is
Democratic. 1t believes in spending
vast sums for WPA, work relief.
The unemployment and relief situa-
tlons are major problems to be ham
died here in Ohio. People must he
led, clothed, taken care of or fur
nished work. Thousands depend on
WPA work for their bread and but
ter. 1t appears quite logical to say,
that IL Ohio appreciates these fed
eral favors and expects our full
share, then we should in coopera-
ton, elect the entire state Demo-
cratic ticket in November.
Mr.. Sawyer has an excellent rec
ord of public service His exper-
ience covers broad field. Of his
many qualifications for governor,
the one which will resist all batter
ing by his political opponents, is his
reputation. spoken from every
mouth that he is good man, hon
est, reliable and trustworthy
