We don't believe Republicans
in Ohio should feel so badly
about Roosevelt being elected
to a precedent shattering third
term. After all was not time
honored tradition p broken in
this state when Governor Brick
er became the first Republican
to be elected to a second con-
secutive term in Ohio during a
period of forty years? Methinks
it's just as fair for one so-called
tradition to be broken as anoth-
er-isn't it?
Yes sir, it's just too ripping
for anything. That G. 0. p.
banner across West Main held
up swell-even on election day.
But the elephant must have been
instilled with a sudden intuition
that he was on the way to the
bOnepile, for it was truly rip
ping the way that banner was
ripped to pieces the morning af-
ter election, while the Demo col
Ors flew proudly and intact,
above. Question is whether it
was the whirlwind of Democratic
votes rending it to shreds, or
the dying cOnvulsiOns of the
G. o. p. elephant.
Now-after getting the fore
going off our chest and out of
the typewriter-we're willing to
join that "good losers" club
and not say a word-about state
politics at least, until candidates
themselves bring up the issue
next time-It's just possible that
Governor Bricker may have to
be drafted for third term -
don't you know.
If you, dear reader, have any
logical explanation how a Span
ish dollar, dated 1892, could get
into a corn field on the old C.
A. Pence farm, on the Hebron.
Outville road, p. NJ. GOtschall,
who lives near the Licking
church, would appreciate it.
Speculation has been running
rife among a number of indivi-
duals to whom Mr.. GOtschall has
shown the relic which he picked
up while cutting corn on the
farm about six weeks ago. The
coin is exceptionally well pre-
served with the date plainly Wis
ible. On one side of the piece
is a picture of King CarOlOus the
4th.
The Spaniards were an adven-
turesOme and hardy race, and
early history is full of tales of
treasure trOves. Perhaps
monk dropped the silver piece in
trek across the early Licking
county wilderness. Maybe the
coin was taken from the pockets
of an Indians unfortunate VIC
tim and later lost.
Perhaps the more logical con-
clusiOn would be that it might
have been silver used to pay off
a labOrer when the Ohio canals
were under construction.
At any rate the coin is 148
years old, in excellent condition,
and we've a hunch Mr.. GOtschall
is not going to part with it very
soon.
Mr.. GOtschall seems to have
a penchant for finding coins.
Thirteen years ago he picked up
