OHIO DEMOCRATS BACK DON
AHEY FOR PRESIDENT

At Delaware last Wednesday Dem
ocratic State Chairman Arthur l.
Linn bach called upon Democratic or.
ganizations throughout the state tC
get behind Vic Donahey for the pres.
idential nomination in 1910. Linn.
bach declared, II am asking al
Democratic county chairmen and
committeeman to endorse Senator
Vic Donahey as Ohio's favorite son
Dental nomination. The Democrats
of Ohio have faith in Vic Donahey
The people of Ohio have faith in
him. BY every test he is indeed the
favorite son of Ohio Democracy. He
need not ask for the Ohio delega
ton to the 1910 convention-he will
have it without asking"
At Columbus, Thursday evening
the Capital City Young Democratic
club adopted a resolution commend
ing Limbach for asking the Demo
cratic organizations in Ohio to en-
dcrse Senator Donahey for the Dem
oCratic nomination.
At Washington, d. c., on Friday
Congressman Martin l.. Sweeney o1
Cleveland, leader in the Ohio con
gressional delegation, enthusiast
cally concurred in the action of the
Darty's state chairman, and issued
the following statement: "Senatol
Donahey's independence, courage
and conviction as a public servant
are not surpassed by any candidate
heretofore mentioned Ohio and the
nation should welcome the oppor-
tunity for such sterling Demo,
crat. The three time governor OF
the Buckeye state is close to the
masses of the people whose problems
he sympathizes with and fully under
stands"
Limbach's suggestion has been
welcomed by Democratic editors and
county leaders throughout the
state. According to reports reaching
state headquarters, it can be expect
ed that a majority of county organ
izations will go on record for Dom
ahey delegates within the next few
weeks. Limbach has also been as
sured of support from Democratic
leaders in other states, to whom the
name Vic Donahey has magic
sound.

same owners purchased two weekly
papers, the California Sentinel and
Belle Vernon Enterprise, papers in
the Mahoning valley. Both papers
are published in the Brownsville
Telegraph office. About eight years
ago the company's job printing
plant was enlarged. Now with a
new 24-page Goss streamlined press,
an addition to the building and 9TH
er modern equipment the paper is
one of the leading publications in
that section of the state, and the
plant is a valuable one. Local, state,
and national leaders sent letters of
congratulations to the paper upon
it's improvements. There are 81 en-
ployes in the newspaper and job
printing department, and 1S4 car
rier boys.
The life of Mr.. j. M Hickerson
reads very much like that of many
boys born poor, who made good.
He was born on a farm in Iowa
had limited amount of schooling,
worked firing furnaces and various
odd jobs-but always worked and
worked hard He purchased the old
home farm at forced sale, and made
it pay. A few years later he was
holding a responsible position in
New York City, at salary of $12,-
600, but recently resigned that po-
sition and established the Hickerson
Advertising agency, which handles
special advertising. In early life,
after getting successfully started IN
business, he resided in Cleveland,
and while there was a pupil at the
Cleveland school of expression. His
teacher was Miss Nettie Adrean,
daughter of "A. r. Adrean of this
place-and a few years later the pu-
pil married his teacher. Their home
now is in New York City. They
have no children of their own, but
couple years ago adopted twin SIS

MIR. AND MRS. G. II. GILpEN HAD
FINE SOUTHERN TRIP

c.. E. Gilpen, of Chesterhill, was
caller at Democrat office recently
and handed us ''lemon'-one that
he brought home with him from a
southern trip. The fruit was bought
near Brownsville, and weighed one
pound and 10 ounces Mr.. and Mrs
Gilpen returned home Feb. II, after
having been in the south about two
months, during which they travelled
more than 1000 miles After having
visited many places of interest in
Texas, they took trip into Old Mex
ico--in fact Mr.. Gilpen states they
crossed over the line into Mexico at
three different places. The people
i'll Mexico, he says, are about 1000
years behind this country. They
saw an arena, but no bull fight; Wis
tied a Mexican cemetery-which Mr..
Gilpen describes as quite gruesome
place The paupers there are buried
III the ground much the same as
here But the weather. and the So
called higher class are buried in
mausoleums and the tombs sealed,
but not very securely. So long as
fec is paid, bodies are not disturb
de, but when relatives or friends de-
fault on payments, the tombs are
unsealed, skeletons removed and
thrown on a bone pile. located on
the edge of the cemetery, and after
a time when a good sized pile OF
skeletons are collected, the bones
are burned. The cemetery he visit
ed is enclosed with high wall,
and he states that it is not an easy
matter for tourists to visit them.
since guards are always on watch at
| the entrances.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gilpen were in Aus
| tin, Tex, at the time of the inaugu-
ration of Governor w. Lee O'Daniel,
where the crowd was enormous. Mr..
and Mrs Gilpen also took a trip in
to Arkansas and up in the Ozark
mountains Among the cities that
impressed them most was Nashville,
Tenn, where there was much bust
ness activity; Corpus Christi, Tex,
they also found very busy place,
and rapidly increasing in popula-
ton. Another place he particularly
mentioned is Russellville, Ark, with
| its fine homes and beautiful streets.
Mr.. Gilpen did all of the driving
and returned home in fine shape,
however his wife did not stand the
trip quite SO well, the altitude of the
Ozark mountains causing a severe
strain on her heart. Mr.. Gilpen thor
oughly enjoys travelling, and appar-
emily but very little of interest es-
capes his attention.
