Wooster Post Has 100 Members, Many Other Veterans Eligible
Wooster Post No. 68, American Legion is a part of the Dept. of Ohio organization and was organized with a temporary charter members, Frank C. Gerlach, Wilson L. Crowl, George A. Hobbs, Russell W. Kerstetter, Otto B. Markel, E.B. Forbes, Ralph H. Wile, Edward M. Quinby, Marcus R. Limb, J.W. Markley, J.R. Boigegrain, Harlen Hauenstein, Julius A. Start, Walter R. Yost and Fred C. Redick.
At that time the whole county was included in Wooster territory and membership at one time reached the 400 mark. Since then there have been quite a few local posts formed in different sections of the country so we can only draw a membership from Wooster and its surroundings. At present the Post has one hundred members but in view of the large number of veterans living in Wooster the Post feels that there are many ex-service men who are not taking advantage of the Legions’ opportunity for service and the fellowship it offers. To those who are not members Wooster Post extends an invitation to join.

Past Commanders
The following have served as Commanders of Wooster Post No. 68.
F.C. Gerlach — 1919-1920
Hon. John McSweeney — 1921

Some Accomplishments
The Post has always taken an active part in honoring the memory of departed veterans on Decoration Day. It is a member of the Memorial Hall Association and cooperates with the various veteran bodies of the city. It has succeeded in establishing Armistice Day as a half holiday in the city and holds an annual get-to-gether for all buddies on that date. A flag pole and U.S. flag was presented to the new high school athletic field last November and in connection with Ashland Post a football trophy which was won for the first time by the Wooster Generals. It also succeeded in the adoption of a white way for the city and a uniform method of displaying the U.S. flag on proper occasions along the city streets.

Legion Takes Hand In Cause Of Veterans
Local Men on Committee to Consult With Soldiers Concerning Benefits.
The American Legion has assumed the task of locating all disabled war veterans who are entitled to benefits from the government.
The following men are connected with the service department of the Legion in Wayne county, and are prepared to look after the interests of ex-service men. If any veteran has anything he does not understand, these men are willing to give advice as to his rights under existing veterans laws, having been given full instructions to serve in this capacity. F.C. Redick, county commissioners office; Dr. M.R. Limb, Downing Block, Wooster; Dr. N.C. Mayer, Applecreek; L.C. Crawford, postoffice, Shreve; D.J. Keener, West Salem; F.M. Cleckner, Doylestown; Dr. Allen, Creston; Verne Rebhart, Rittmn; Ed Handwerk, Orrville; A.S. Weber, county service officer, Armory, Wooster.

Includes New Law
Information concerning the loans obtainable under the law just enacted by congress is included in what these men can give.
Some of the more important classifications of men who are entitled to benefits are as follows:
Disability Allowance — For permanently disabled, honorably discharged veterans of the World war, who enlisted before November 11, 1918 and who served 90 days or more during the war, and who have been disabilities of 25 percent or more. If the veteran’s disability is due to misconduct, the allowance is not payable nor if the veteran was subject to income tax for the year prior to making application.
Disability Compensation — For disability resulting from service between April 6, 1917 and July 2, 1921. Disability must be traceable to service; must be a handicap of 10 percent or more, must not be due to misconduct unless the veteran is blind, paralyzed, insane or helpless and bedridden.
Rates of awards range with the percentage of handicap, and are based upon awards of $80 for total disability when the condition is temporary and $100 when it is permanent. Total blindness entitles a veteran to an award of $150 monthly and Double Permanent and Total Disability to $200 monthly. Where the veteran is so helpless as to be in need of a nurse or attendant $50 additional compensation is payable.
Dependency Compensation — Dependency compensation is payable to a veteran’s dependents when the veteran’s death is due to injury or disease contracted in the military service during the World war.
Medical Treatment — Veterans are entitled to any medical treatment needed for service connected disabilities either in or out of hospital. No forms are necessary. Apply to the Veterans Bureau. If treated by a private physician, a statement from him recommending the nature of treatment and describing the veteran’s condition should be submitted.
Hospital Treatment — Veterans of any war, military operation or expedition may obtain hospital treatment when beds are available in Government hospitals. Forms 2597 and 545 are used.
Soldiers’ Relief — An indigent veteran and his dependents are entitled to aid from the Soldiers’ Relief commission in the county in which he resides as provided by law. Apply to Ward Committee, township committee or to Soldiers’ relief commission at County seat. Jesse McClellen, 705 Beall avenue, is secretary of this commission in Wayne Co.
Government Insurance — To a maximum of $10,000 may be obtained by any veteran physically fit and who was entitled to apply therefore, whether or not or how much he carried in service.
Adjustment Compensation — Must be applied for before January 2, ’35. For service over sixty days, credit of $1.00 for each day of home service and $1.25 for each day overseas service is allowed, not to exceed $500 for home service and $625 for those with service overseas. If credit is not more than $50 cash payment will be made. If over, a Twenty year Endowment Policy is issued in the amount the credit would purchase as a single premium. If a veteran does not apply during his lifetime, his widow, children, mother or father in the order stated will be entitled if dependent at any time before January 2, 1935.
Beneficiary on Adjusted Service Certificate may be changed by veteran.
New Adjusted Service Certificates may be obtained to replace those lost or destroyed.
Loans — Loan on Adjusted Service Certificates may be secured after the policy is two years old. Veteran’s original application must have certificate or identification executed. If certificate is held by the bureau as security for a loan, identification certificate need not be executed when additional loan is applied for.

Many Veterans Seeking Loans
Dr. M.R. Limb reported today that he has made out applications for loans for 63 veterans since it was announced a few days ago that loans can be obtained from the federal government through the provisions of the recent act of congress.
“Among these were ten men who had not taken loans when they were first available,” Dr. Limb said. “Several of the men who came to me said they were sure that men in their home communities did not know who to go to in order to file applications.”
The Record, therefore, prints again the names of men designated by Wooster Post, American Legion, to have charge of the service department, all of whom have been making out these applications, and who will gladly do so for any ex-soldier:

Calls This Poor Time to Rebuild City Sidewalks
Editor the Record Five hundred persons will get notice to build five miles of walks. Are any of your councilmen or city officials among the five hundred? It seems to me as a taxpayer that this is not the time to force “the most ambitious sidewalk campaign council has ever attempted” upon our people.
The present financial depression is not over, and even if it is, we have many of our citizens who are straining every nerve to make both ends meet at the present time.
You want to eliminate all brick walks yet you have a brick plant to your city. One half of the money would go out of the city for cement or stone. Eight or ten men would be benefited no matter how you built your sidewalks and many of the 500 citizens would dig deeper for cash to pay the few. You don’t relieve unemployment or suffering by spending the tax payers money promiscuously or lavishly, you just distribute the suffering.
As I understand it if a property has a brick walk in between two concrete walks he must tear it up and put down concrete no matter what condition the brick walk is in.
Also I note the city wishes to put down the walks by one contract. If they make the same price as they did on Callowhill st many of the taxes for sidewalks will not be paid.
Those who have charge of the city finances as well as the pocket book of every taxpayer should use something besides engineering ability in the administration of the affairs of the city.
We all believe in better sidewalks but I have come in contact with many men lately who haven’t enough to eat, let alone lay a new side walk, men who are paying for homes on the installment plan and they are having a hard time doing it. I would suggest that the available money be spent for absolutely necessary improvements until times are better.
There is something in the administration of the affairs of a city besides paving a street, or laying a sidewalk. Put on two motor cycle cops to protect our children. You build and build but the school children get no protection except that given by teachers acting as traffic cops.
A more inopportune time for an ambitious program along any line could not be selected, no matter whether the money comes out of the pocket of the taxpayer direct or the city’s funds. We will have all we can do to meet the bonds due in 1932 and 1933 and also keep the tax within a reasonable limit.

Council Keeps Hands Off In Dental Clinic
Bonds Awarded to Citizens National Bank—Traffic Ordinance Passed.
Wooster city council last night refused to take a hand in a controversy involving the dental clinic which was established last week at the city hall.
The matter came to council’s attention through a request by Councilman F.A. Shambaugh that council appoint a committee to investigate the clinic, inquire where funds came from for the purchase of a dental chair, and determine whether the city would be liable to damage suits in case school children treated in the city’s building should contract infection.
“This may be the first step towards the creation of a new city office,” Shambaugh said, “and I think council should know something about it.”

Up to Health Board
City Solicitor Dean Weimer told council he believed the matter was one entirely for the city board of health and that council had no jurisdiction concerning it. Prosecutor Marion Graven, who was present on another mission said the state law provided that the health department could exercise “supervision” over dental work among school children but he questioned whether there was any authority under the law to do dental work. Neither Graven nor Weimer had been consulted by the Board of Health concerning the clinic, they told council.
The clinic was set up to care for children who are unable to pay costs of dental work obtained thru regular channels and had the support, it was stated, of local dentists who are members of the Canton Dental society.
Although the matter has been discussed quite freely during recent days, no report reached council as to the source of any opposition to the plan, and upon the advice of the solicitor, council deemed it unwise to take a hand in the matter.

Discuss Combination Of City Offices
Would Merge Mayor’s Task With Director
Propose Also to Collect Water Rents by Auditor in Efficiency Move.
Suggestions for changes that would bring about greater efficiency and possibly greater economy in the administration of city affairs were made at last night’s meeting of Wooster City Council.
President O.D. Blough opened the matter when he suggested a possible merger of the duties of mayor and service director, and transfer the water collections to the office of the city auditor.
Councilman Harry Elliott endorsed the president’s suggestion concerning the mayor and service director, pointing out that this would be an ideal time to launch the project inasmuch as Wooster is functioning at present without a service director.

Can Handle Both.
Mayor J.W. Ebert, who has served as both service director and mayor joined in favoring the project, declaring that one man could take care of the duties of both offices. The mayor at present is devoting a part of his time to the service director office.
Council C.O. Williamson suggested that since the administration of the waterworks department is in reality an engineering job, this department might be transferred to the engineer’s office.
City Solicitor Dean Weimer indicated that a combination of the waterworks collections and the auditor’s office could be effected by council, but ventured that it might require a vote of the people to bring about other suggestions offered.

To Make a Report.
The solicitor was instructed to gather more definite data in the matter and report at the next meeting.
One suggestion made was that the mayor’s salary be raised from $1,500 to $2,400 if the service director’s office is abolished, bringing about a saving of $1,500, since the service director has been paid $2,400 a year. Since the resignation of Director H.U. Mowery some weeks ago, this salary of $200 a month has not been paid to any person. Waterworks Superintendent John Wilson has been designated acting service director, but draws the same pay as he formerly did, and continues to perform his regular work.

Other Suggestions.
The suggestions included one of creating the office of police judge and other that water collections should be made four times a year instead of semi-annually.
No objections to a proposed realignment were made by any city officer present at the meeting. There was apparently a general accord that such a movement would bring greater efficiency and aid in placing responsibility.
“The time is here when we must do some doubling up if the city is going to have enough money to pay its bills,” Mayor Ebert declared.
President Blough declared that he believed the changes would be advisable even if no actual saving in salaries could be brought about, indicating that better efficiency would bring about ultimate economy.

Students Are Guests.
This general discussion, which came at the close of a rather long meeting at which a number of assessment and bond ordinances were enacted, was the high spot of the meeting of council. Guests during most of the meeting included a group of 25 students in civil government at Wooster high school, who were accompanied by Miss Mary Metz and Mr. Caldwell, of the high school faculty.
Mayor Ebert reported the collection of $348.40 in fines, costs and licenses during the month of May.
Letters were received and ordered placed on file from Mrs. Nora Wanstreet and Miss B. Buckley concerning the Buckley road leading east from Madison Avenue.
Councilman A.E. Taylor, chairman of the water and light committee, recommended a 100 candle power light on East South street, between Buckeye and Bever streets, and another on Madison Avenue, a short distance north of the bridge.

To Report Market.
Council adopted, under suspension of the rules, a resolution to improve, by repaving, the car tracks portion of Market street from the high school to the square, and West Liberty street from the square to the car barns, also that part of the car line on the square. Engineer Arthur Wedge estimated the cost of the improvement at $13,000. The resolution provides that the cost shall be paid from gasoline tax funds.
Two other ordinances were enacted transferring funds to meet interest obligations in street improvement funds.

Adopt Ordinances.
An ordinance was enacted assessing $10,140 as the property owners share of resurfacing South Market street, the rate per foot being $3.62. A similar ordinance was enacted assessing $9,505 as the property owners share of paving Ohio and Walnut streets, the rate bing $6.97 per foot, a third ordinance fixed the rate of paving Clark street at $6.90 per foot, total cost to property owners $4,257.25, and a fourth one fixed the rate for the Blair Boulevard, Dorchester Rod, Graustark Path, Beverly Road, Homewood Avenue and Burbank Road sewer at $1.45 per foot, total cost $8,071.03.
Ordinances to issue bonds for the Market street resurfacing and the Blair Boulevard, etc., sewer were also enacted.
Fred Howard of Quinby Ave. suggested to council that because of the large number of school children who cross streets at the high school, precaution be taken to protect them. W.H. Bills suggested that the block at the stone quarry be loft unimproved when Cleveland Road is paved in an effort to let traffic go over present routes. Councilman Frank Glasgow pointed out that traffic down Beall Avenue goes past Beall Avenue school. President Blough told the Quinby Avenue men that council was considering several problems in connection with this improvement.

Getting Signatures For Board of Five Members
Former Mayor M.R. Limb, as stated in yesterday’s Record, has assumed responsibility for procuring sufficient signatures to a petition asking a change in the number of members on the board of education from three to five. In connection with the petition, Dr. Limb says:
“The City Solicitor has given it as his opinion that in order to increase the membership of the Board of Education, we must present a petition signed by at least ten per cent of the voters to the Board of Education. The Board has already passed a resolution favoring this increase, so we will have no difficulty in securing their approval as soon as the petition is presented.
I have taken it upon myself to get the necessary ten percent of the voters. I believe a five member board far better than a three. We now have one member out of town all the town. His place should be filled by some one who can give the schools some attention. We pay for good schools, honestly, efficiently and economically administered BY THE BOARD THRU ITS SUPERINTENDENT and his assistants. You will later have an opportunity to vote on one of two plans, one the three member board and another the five membership board. Let us at lest take the necessary steps to get this move before the people.”

He’s Against Office Change 
Editor the Record
The President of our City Council suggests that the offices of Mayor and Service-Safety Director be combined. I certainly am opposed to such a combination.
First, the Board of Control, composed of the Mayor, Service and Safety directors, is responsible for the expenditure of all city funds. The combination of the offices would place this power all in the hands of one man. There is plenty to do for an active Service-Safety director if he is on the job. No one should be allowed to contract bills but the Service-Safety Director. He should be on the job over this city just as a supervisor of a division on the Railroad state what is to be done and direct the work and not sit in the office with the Water Works Clerk and assist her in her duties of collecting the Water Rent. The Service-Safety Director’s work should not be transferred to the engineers office. The Engineer is an employee under the direction of the Service-Safety Director. No officer can fulfill the duties of his office by holding down a swivel chair. He must be on the job directing those for whom he is responsible.
To consolidate the duties of the Clerk of the Water Department and the City Auditor would be another foolish move. The Auditor now has five hundred dollars for extra assistance. You would just transfer the office and have no one to check up on those who pay no water rent or use excessive amounts of water for nothing. You figure on abolishing the office of the Service-Safety Director and transfer the duties and additional help to the Engineers office. If you want a director, hire a City Manager, but be sure he has the experience and ability to handle $175,000.00 a year of the Taxpayers money. You will save no money by abolishing an office and then transferring the duties to another and allowing him extra help to perform his additional duties. Rather insist on good efficient service or service commensurate with the compensation. To transfer the Water Department to the City Engineer would be an absurd move. We haven’t enough work in either department to keep a gang of men busy all the time but we have enough in all departments to keep them busy. Dividing the authority and responsibility we would certainly lose efficiency. I question whether the law would allow the transfer of all the duties of the Service-Safety Director to other officers.
Make the salary of an office sufficient for the duties of that office and then insist on efficiency. You have the votes to enforce your demands. It is not a difficult job to spend the taxpayers’ money. A million hounds are looking for their slice all the time.
As I stated before, the board of control is responsible for the proper expenditure of all funds and this board, composed of the Mayor and the Service-Safety Director, must have not only the approval of all bills but the making of all bills and expending all funds if you want efficiency and economy.

The petitions, containing some 550 names, will go to the Board of Education which previously adopted a resolution suggesting the change to five members. The board is expected to re-affirm its former vote when these petitions are presented.
The next step is the appointment of a commission, three members to be named by the president of the Board of Education, two by the Mayor and two by the president of the Board of Sinking Fund trustees. This commission must formulate two plans for operating the schools, one the present plan, and the other the five-member board plan. This must be certified to the Board of Education at least 120 days before the November election, in which case it will come to a vote.

A Word From the Candidate
As this is the night before election I want to take this opportunity to say that I surely appreciate the kind reception I have received in my home to home campaign from the voters of Wooster.
I feel that I can never repay the many favors extended me, but I surely will try if the opportunity presents itself.
I have tried to meet each voter, but it is a big job. I found homes where the people were out and time did not permit me to call again in every instance.
Except a word to the voters that were not at home, that their vote is earnestly solicited, any statement other than the request to vote for me would be out of order and not have any merit at this late date.

Gives His Opinion on Duties of War Veterans
In a friendly talk with Commander Elect M.R. Limb of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, a group of the post members listened with interest to his ideas on post activities.
Major Limb said, “I believe there are enough charitable organizations to take care of the community wants. Our responsibility lies with our members. This is a veterans organization and we should do all we can to help the needy veterans and particularly our members. If our Post, of which these men are members, will not help them how can they expect help from other sources. I have been helping ex-servicemen ever since the war and I shall continue to do so in my capacity as post commander.” The listening comrades all agreed that this was good sound thinking and vouched their support to Commander Limb. Major Limb continued, “??? job to assist these boys and we shall do it. Instead of telling these fellows why they should join this post lets do something for them and then they will want to join. I shall do all in my power, with the loyal co-operation of the post, to assist any eligible ex-service man in getting what he has coming.”

It was the top of the editorial column of the Wooster Republican dated Thursday, April 27, 1865. E. Poorman was editor. Enclosed with a black border was the following editorial.

OUR DEAD PRESIDENT
“A great people will mourn for the mighty departed, but the wheels of free government and social progress will still move on. The ark of peace, watered by the tears of our national affliction, will at length spring up in beauty again. And when at last we shall rejoice once more in a Union restored and consecrated by universal freedom, the patriot citizens of our own land and the pilgrims of liberty from lands beyond the sea, shall water with tears of gratitude the flowers and grasses above the graves of Washington and Lincoln, the Father and the Savior of their country.”

Consider Man-a-Block System Here
Seeking Jobs For Wooster’s 450 Idle Men
All Unemployed Heads of Families Asked to Re-Register For Work.
The employment section of the Board of Trade committee on Welfare and Unemployment, meeting last night with Chairman F.E. Schultz and every one of its ten members present, plunged deeply into the herculean task which confronts it.
Between 450 and 500 persons in Wooster are unemployed at the present time, the committee’s investigation showed, and only full co-operation from every available agency can relieve a serious situation, the committee members feel.
It was decided to inaugurate in Wooster some form of the man-a-block system, under which many cities are providing work for many persons. Under this system the residents of each block provide employment in the form of odd jobs, for at least one man.
The committee also decided that it is immediately necessary for all unemployed heads of families to re-register for work, in connection with the welfare’s department new survey of local needs.

All to Register
Every unemployed head of a family is requested to appear at Welfare headquarters on South Bever street either on Thursday, Friday or Monday forenoon from 8 to 12 o’clock to have his name placed on the list of those seeking work. Old lists of names are to be discarded so that every head of a family, whether or not he registered before, is to report for this new registration.
The committee also adopted the following motion: that ??? mend to city council that they ?? an emergency ordinance cutting down the present wage scale for emergency relief work in order that funds available may be distributed over more man hours.”
This motion, members of the committee pointed out, would not affect the wages of experienced city employees regularly employed, but would be the basis of pay for emergency work being done.

City Works 50
Service Director Fleming Fisher was at the meeting and informed the committee that the city is now employing fifty men in two shifts of 25 each, working three days alternately, in building a water line in the north end of the city.
Parvin Swinehart, chairman of the county relief committee, said his committee would have lists of names ready for Urban Bros., contractors to begin work on widening the road up over Madison Hill next week. Sixty per cent of the company’s labor is to come from the welfare organization lists, according to the terms of its contract.

My Modify Plan
In discussing the man-a-block plan, the possibility of modifying it somewhat or combining it with the Rochester plan was considered. Under this plan each property owner is asked to pledge that he will hire to do $25 or $50 or $100 or $500 worth of work on his premises during a specified period. George Wertenberger, commander of the American Legion, and M.R. Limb, commander of Veterans of Foreign Wars, were invited to attend the meeting of the committee on next Wednesday evening, at which time details of this project will be worked out and plans made to canvass the city.
Meanwhile any resident of the city who has a job for any person, whether it be for a day, a week or an hour, is requested to telephone 707, welfare headquarters, where available persons will be assigned to the task.

 Ask War Veterans Turn Out For Memorial Day
The coming of Memorial Day once agin, and now only a few days away, brings to mind those who made the great sacrifice for their country in times of war. Those who were so fortunate as to return from the bloody conflicts should pause and pay their respects to those comrades who have passed on.
The committee in charge of Memorial Day in Wooster headed by M.R. Limb is especially anxious that all ex-service men of all wars turn out for the Memorial Day parade Monday morning May 30th. The committee points out that the observance of the day is not an organization one alone and asks that every ex-service man in Wooster whether member of a veterans group or not should turn out.

City Building Ready For Use
City Council Meets Pennsylvania Representative Regarding Bridge.
Wooster City council, in a brief session Monday evening, transacted only a small amount of routine business and then recessed until next Monday evening for a hearing on the city budget.
Council adopted a motion by Councilman Chas. Laper directing the engineer and service director to occupy, August 1st, the new building erected at the rear of the fire department for storage of city equipment, and to cancel the arrangements for renting a building across the alley, owned by Dr. M.R. Limb.
The new building was erected under direction of Service Director Fleming Fisher and City Engineer James E. Fox, Mr. Fox informing council that by keeping the street flusher in other quarters, he believes all other necessary equipment can be housed in the new quarters.
Chairman Frank Glasgow, chairman of the street committee, reported favorbly on the city building a sewer in an alley leading from Liberty to South streets adjacent to property owned by William Long. The Liberty street sewer is not accessible from the Long property because of insufficient fall. Long has built a sewer as far south as the alley south of Liberty street. The city will build the sewer from there to South street at a cost of about $350. The lley is now being paved, half of the expense being paid by Long.
H.L. Pfaff, living on Cleveland road, informed council that has property has a frontage of 68 feet on Cleveland Road and Burbank road. It is located on the east side of the street, immediately north of Galpin park. Pfaff said he was assessed for 39 feet of frontage on Burbank road and more than 40 feet on Cleveland road, or more than the frontage road, or more than the frontage he owns. The complaint was made too late for consideration by the board which fixed Cleveland Road assessments, and was referred to the street committee and engineer.
Council, in caucus, met with James E. Kinnison, attorney for the Pennsylvania company, and other Pennsylvania lines officials, regarding safety conditions at the South Bever street railroad bridge. Council has asked the company to build a new bridge. Further negotiations are to take place, since no decision was reached last night.
In the caucus meeting, council also met with representatives of the Wooster Welfare Association concerning plans for taking care of relief work during the months ahead.
After council recessed, representatives of the Wooster Board of trade met with Auditor Helen Walter and members of council’s finance committee regarding the amounts to be named in the budget for the operation of the city government.

Henderson And Col. Kerr Here
Call at Wooster Factory After Flying to Wooster — Circle Old Home.
Those two airplanes that roared over Wooster late yesterday afternoon were carrying Adjutant General Frank D. Henderson, and Col. Harry Kerr, who is in charge of the summer’s encampment of Ohio National Guardsmen at Camp Perry.
General Henderson and Col. Kerr flew to Wooster from Camp Perry and landed at Wooster airport. They visited the Gerstenslager factory, where a truck body is being constructed for the adjutant general’s department. They also called upon Major and Mrs. M.R. Limb.
In leaving Wooster, the two officers instructed the pilots of their Douglas planes to fly over southwestern Wayne county, Col. Kerr desiring to see his boyhood home from the air.
Col. Kerr was born in Clinton township, near Big Prairie. His father was Cal Kerr, long prominent in the community. The father died six years ago. One brother, Royal Kerr, lives in Big Prairie and his son, Laird, is postmaster there. Three sisters also reside in the community, one of them on the old home farm.
Kerr received his military start with old Company H, at Shreve, and was the star player on that organization’s original strong basketball team.

Judge Wanamaker Presents Cup To Veterans For Largest Increase Of Membership In Ohio
There were delegations from Killbuck, Rittman and Millersburg present last night at the armory when Judge Walter Wanamaker of the Summit county common pleas court presented the local post of Veterans of Foreign Wars with a cup symbolical of their having had the highest per cent of increase in membership of any post in the state during the past year.
The cup was donated by the state department. Acceptance of the cup for the local post was made by M.R. Limb. He commented briefly on the work of the post and on the points mentioned by Judge Wanamaker in his presentation speech.
Judge Wanamaker pointed out some of the aims of the V.F.W. and stressed the fact that education and the furtherance of the widows and orphans home in Michigan are important projects in the program.
In commenting on the Bonus Expeditionary Forces and their activities in Washington, the speaker declared he was not in favor of such methods of seeking the bonus although he was in favor of efforts to obtain it for deserving veterans.
In this connection he stated that he had sent a telegram to President Hoover objecting to the methods of dispersing veterans which were used in the last few days the bonus seekers were in Washington.
John Wanamaker announced also that the V.F.W. now is prepared to enter politics since the last national convention passed a resolution to the effect that members should enter politics in their efforts to achieve aims.
Part of the program included a mock trial which served to point out the qualities of good character which are included in the V.F.W. organization. Principal characters in the play were portrayed by C.A. Merrell and Robert Nash.
C.A. Eberle, state adjutant of the V.F.W. also was present at the meeting and made a short talk on the objectives of the organization.

Bed Clothing Is Needed Now
Comforters, With Edges Worn, Will Be Cut Down For Veterans’ Station.
The Wayne County Veterans’ association reports excellent progress in the establishment of their club and headquarters at 145 N. Buckeye street, having received the following assistance from the people of the community since the last report: one davenport and chair, Mrs. John Archer, East Spring street; one cot and mattress, Mrs. Ed Goodman, North Grant street; one dining table, Mr. Eckstein, N. Grant street; soap and toilet articles, Richard and Wile; 12 gallon canned soup, Wooster Preserving Co.; $10 in cash from Dr. T.A. Graven for Marion Graven; two army cots, M.R. Limb, Beall avenue; one rocking chair, John Bartell, North Walnut street; one case canned goods, Mrs. Burkheimer, North Walnut street; victrola, Mrs. Albert Goetz, North Walnut street; three dozen towels, table cloth and other articles from an anonymous giver. These articles, together with some gathered up by the members and those previously donated, bring the immediate needs of the organization down to the matter of bed clothes. It’s sponsors feel that there are plenty of old comforters in the community to supply its needs with a little renovating, which the organization can do. The fact that cots are being used will permit the use of articles of bedding, blankets and comforters that have worn out along the edge, but can be cut down to suit the small sized cots. The committee does not ask for articles that are useful in the home but for old articles which will do nicely and which will be called for. Phone Dr. M.R. Limb, 711, during day, or W.R. Yost, 1089-1, during evening, commencing Monday.
During the past week the association has furnished quarters for four or five every night.

Vegetables Are Needed
Purpose of Lodging House For Transients Explained By Leaders.
Headquarters of the Veteran’s bureau on North Buckeye street now is fairly well supplied with furniture but could use some vegetables to provide meals for those who arrive at the headquarters without means of buying food.
The leaders in the movement today were making one trip to the country where they were being given some vegetables. This is the second consignment to be received this week. Three men stopped at the rooms last night, but it was the first time for several nights that the number has fallen below five.
A statement was made today by M.R. Limb and Walter Yost, two leaders in the movement. Their statement explains something of the aims of the organization. The statement follows.
“The purpose of the Wayne County Veterans’ Relief Association is to provide bath, supper, lodging and breakfast to transients who have no funds. Many apply to the police or the heads of the various veteran organizations. No means is provided by the city to care for the stranger. It is the request that all applications for lodging be referred to the police, at the police booth at the public square. This will give them an opportunity to check on all transients as well as assist the association in properly performing the purpose for which the veterans are giving their services.
“We wish to express our appreciation to those who are contributing of their substance to the stranger within our gates. This is not a duplication of the good work done by the Welfare department. They provide for those who are down and out and happen in our city for the one night only.
“Our first duty, of course, is to provide sufficient funds and supplies for the city welfare department.
“Originally it was intended to provide for veterans only, but the first night convinced those in charge that their work must be extended to include all who are in need. The authorities at the Wooster Brick Plant have been more than kind for many years in caring for these unfortunates, and they should be commended for the charity they have extended. May we express our appreciation for the supplies of all kinds that have been given us to further our efforts.
Proper registration is required. The number cared for nightly has been from three to nine, and as the colder weather is coming, it may be necessary to provide additional facilities.”

Democrats Of County Happy Over Victory
There’s Talk of Postmasters In the Air As Vote Count Is Completed.
Ahoy, Democrats.
  After about a dozen years during which the swing was the other way, the Democrats have been swept into power in Wayne county in just about all the county offices.
Democratic party leaders were jubilant Wednesday morning, and were predicting all sorts of things.
With a Democratic president the Wooster postoffice is in the offing. So is the Orrville postoffice, and the postoffices all over the county.
A number were being mentioned in Wooster. Prominent among them was Roy Stype, who led Democracy to victory this year, and who had his finger on the pulse of things from the beginning to the end of the campaign.
Other postmaster possibilities were Chas. Fahr and M.R. Limb, both of whom were very active during the campaign, and Max R.B. Johnston, who carried the standard as a party candidate just as extensively as any of his fellows who landed on the winning side of the ledger, but who lost his race to an opponent who had a very large personal following, all during the campaign, as the “strong man” on the Republican ticket.
The list of possible postmasters will doubtless grow larger as the months roll by. It will be nearly four years until the appointment is actually made, Postmaster F.C. Redick having been named in May of this year. The new appointee, however, will be named by President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt, and naturally will be a Democrat.
With a Democratic administration at Columbus as well as in Washington, additional jobs for deserving party workers will likely be in the offing later on.
Welfare Director John McSweeney is expected to remain in Governor White’s cabinet, without change, and with one major position held by a Wayne countian, minor appointments may be a bit more difficult to get.
It is, however, the first time since the administration ofWoodrow Wilson, that Wayne county Democrats can look up the political ladder and see their party represented all the way to the top.
That was a cause of much jubilation which a steady rain today failed to dampen.
The smiles appeared on Democratic faces when first returns came in last night, indicating that Roosevelt had swept New York state. As more complete returns were reported, they bore out, to the letter, advance predictions made on the basis of straw votes, and as the land slide grew, so did the Democratic smiles.
Held well in restraint during the night, enthusiasm passed out of bounds when the county Democratic ticket was found to be safe, and the bands played and the bells rang in an old-time Democratic celebration.

Limb For Roy Style in That Postmaster Matter
“Thanks for the bouquet,” said former Mayor M.R. Limb to a Record representative today, referring to an article in yesterday’s Record mentioning him as a possibility for postmaster. “I want to say though,” he continued, “that Roy Stype, whom your article also mentioned, was the man who did most of the hard work in this campaign. If he should become a candidate for postmaster, you may say that Mr. Fahr and mysely will both do everything we can to promote his candidacy.”

Soldier Thinks Limb Should Be Postmaster
“It was quite magnanimous of Major Limb to suggest he would support Roy Stype for postmaster if Stype becomes a candidate, but a lot of us soldiers are going to do our bit for Major Limb himself,” said a world war veteran today, which happened to be Armistice day.
“I may not know a lot about politics, and maybe I’m butting in where I have no business, but nevertheless I believe that Major Limb’s long service in Wooster to his community and his party should give him preference. I would suggest, too, that our last three postmasters have been war veterans and that if soldiers have anything to say about it, they’re going to be found backing one of their own number, and I feel just as sure that that one will be Major Limb.”

Johnston For A Bond Issue
Tells Legion men Government Should Provide Old Age Insurance.
“The government should issue bonds to the extent of five billion dollars for old age insurance and to alleviate unemployment,” in the opinion of Dr. A.A. Johnston in an Armistice Day address last night in Memorial Hall.
The occasion marked the annual Armistice Day banquet of Wooster Post 68, American Legion, for all World war men and one hundred veterans brought to a close another successful observance of Armistice Day.
Continuing, Dr. Johnston, who is professor of Sociology at the college of Wooster, said
“The government spent thirty billion to win the war. Why not five billion to keep Americans alive? The banks of New York City have eighteen billion stored in their vaults and a 75 million bond issue of the government recently was oversubscribed 275 millions. The worker must get more of that which he produces.
“You are a group of veterans and will have a lot to do with the future development of America and what I want to say to you is that changing conditions necessitate changed thinking. Conclusions that seemed adequate twenty or thirty years ago are no longer applicable to present conditions.”
Dr. Johnston compared the needs of our forefathers when they came to America and those of today. He used the illustration of two football teams fighting vigorously against each other to win under certain rules with officials yet with no animosity between them and urged that nations should be friendly institutions all motivated with about the same purpose.
He predicted that future wars would be much worse and that in five years there would be another great war. Because of too many people in the world he advocated birth control.
“If we cannot give wages large enough so that the worker can save enough for his old age, for periods of unemployment, in times of sickness, then we must introduce old age pensions, unemployment insurance, sickness insurance. There is no other way.”
Prof. Dan Parmelee accompanied by Mrs. Parmelee, treated the veterans with two very fine violin solos. War songs pepped up the meeting with Walter Jones at the piano and Raymond Smith leading.
A sumptuous chicken dinner was served by the Legion Auxiliary and with an ample food supply the boys made heavy inroads upon the eatables.
A Past Adjutant’s badge was presented by Col. Gerlach to Raymond Smith. Dr. Nesbitt paid tribute to the comradeship of the men. Remarks were made by Rev. Faye Reese, Commander Limb of the V.F.W., and Cape. Yost of the Veteran’s Association. First Vice Commander Ralph Figert was toastmaster.
The meeting was in charge of Commander Floyd Hamilton and First Vice Commander Ralph Figert, who was toastmaster.

Party Facing An “Acid Test”
Responsibilities Pointed Out By Speakers At Jubilation Party.
The responsibility of government has been placed squarely upon the shoulders of the Democratic party as a result of the recent election and the party is facing a real “acid test,” speakers pointed out at Weitzel hall, where open house was held for successful candidates.
The duty of elected officers, party workers and the rank and file of the party in carrying out the mandates of the people as expressed at the polls, locally in the state and in the nation, was first mentioned by Congressman-elect William R. Thom, of Canton. It was emphasized by Mrs. D.F. Albright, by Walter J. Mougey common pleas judge elect; and by Mayor Willis Horn, of Orrville, and re-iterated by Charles Hochstettler, chairman of the county Central committee.
“We shall have nothing to apologize for, Democratic office holders always do their duty” was the confident prediction of E.S. Wertz, former district attorney of northern Ohio.
The hall was filled by party workers and friends of the candidates gathered for the jubilation. Each elected candidate on the county ticket was called upon for brief remarks, and each thanked the party workers for loyal support. There were handsome bouquets for efficient work on the part of County Chairman Roy Stype, Mrs. Albright, and all members of the executive and central committee.
Joseph Sullivan of Oroville, Dr. M.R. Limb of Wooster, Mrs. Howard Pontius, Orrville, Mr. Wertz, Mr. Hochstettler, Mrs. Albright and Harry Weiss, of Canton, were other speakers.
Mrs. Albright proposed that the Democratic organization be made permanent and that it function between campaigns.
Dr. Limb made a motion, which was adopted, to the effect that Chairman Stype name a committee to plan for the coming Jackson Day celebration.
Cider, provided by Representative-elect Corwin Swan, and doughnuts, were served after the speaking program ended.
Accordion solos by Benny Zarlengo, and a vocal novelty by little Nancy Miller, were the musical numbers.

To Recommend Men For Jobs
Democratic Central Committee Postpones Action For One Week.
Recommendations for political appointments are to be made at a meeting of of the Wayne County Democratic central committee on next Thursday night, it was revealed today following a meeting of the committee last night.
Last night’s meeting was called by a group of members, led by M.R. Limb who sponsored a resolution several months ago to the effect that distribution of patronage should remain in the hands of the central committee.
After a number of talks, including those by Dr. Limb and Mayor J.W. Ebert, the committee gave Chairman Chas. Hochstettler a vote of confidence, and made plans for carrying out the provisions of the patronage resolution. The general plan is that the central committee shall act on all appointments which have a county-wide status, but that committeemen from any section of the county shall recommend persons for places affecting only that territory.
A number of applications for deputy game protector and other positions had been made to the committee. Members understood other applications had gone to the executive committee, and that one had been filed with the board of elections.
In order that all applications may receive consideration, action was postponed for a week, during which additional applications may be filed.

Limb, Democrat, and William Long, Republican, for whom declarations are now being circulated, and Harry Bogner and Thomas Miller, Democrats, and R.T.

Edwin Johnson for treasurer and Joseph Kistler for councilman at large are two Republican candidates who have planned to run.
Several more candidates on both sides are expected to qualify before the curtain drops on June 9th.

Wiler Enters Mayor’s Race Against Long
Miller Files As Opponent to Limb — Woman Seeks Council Seat.
Political atmosphere in Wooster warmed up with the weather today, the final day on which declarations of candidacy may be filed.
Two developments of particular significance were noted in new declarations on file. One placed the first woman aspirant for a seat in council in the race. She is Mrs. Sadie Grosjean, wife of Julius Grosjean, West Larwill Street, and she seeks the Democratic nomination for councilman from the fourth ward.
The other was the filing of a declaration as a candidate for mayor by Charles L. Wiler, Republican, thus making a contest for the Republican nomination. William Long has previously qualified as a candidate. Mr. Wiler formerly was Clerk of Courts.
It was reported, also, during the day, that a declaration to make O.D. Blough, now president of council, a third candidate for the Republican mayoralty nomination, was in circulation. It had not been filed shortly after noon today.
Thomas Miller this afternoon filed his declaration as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for mayor.
It was also reported this afternoon that Dr. W.B. Turner would file his declaration for this nomination, thus making a three-cornered fight. M.R. Limb had filed his declaration previously.
Late filings today included W.R. Lightner for the Democratic nomination for treasurer; and Miles Shamp for Republican nomination councilman at large.
That candidates would qualify for every available office on both tickets before the curtain drops tonight was predicted in political circles.
New declarations on file today included:
For Solicitor — Marion Graven, Republican; Henry Critchfield, George N. Coffey, Democrats.
For Mayor — Charles L. Wiler, Republican.
For President of Council — John Ferguson, Republican.
For Treasurer — J. Edwin Johnson, Republican.

Veteran Of Old Company D Is Awarded Verdun Medal
The third major decoration for military service has just been conferred upon N.K. Weimer, Wooster College graduate who is a veteran of two wars and the present superintendent of schools at Beach City, it has just been learned at the college.
Supt. Weimer, who was graduated from Wooster College in 1916, received his third decoration when he was presented recently with the famous Verdun medal, an award from the Commission du Livre d”Or. His other decoration include a special Mexican Service Medal and the George Washington Purple Heart.
Only veterans who saw active service on the Verdun sector are eligible to receive the Verdun medal which is of bronze bears a view of Tour Chausses and is suspended by a red ribbon, with a tri-color border. The medal was struck on Nov. 20, 1916, by the city of Verdun.
Weimer, a member of Co. D, 146th infantry, 37 Division, was wounded in the battle of Neuse-Argonne at Montfaucon. He received a certificate of merit, and a citation for bravery on this occasion.
On the day of his injury, Weimer and other members of his company were advancing rapidly and came upon a German rear guard on open ground. It was while fighting these men that he was struck by a rifle bullet. Tho wounded, he continued in the fight and later returned, unaided, to headquarters to have his wound dressed, was a member of the 8th Ohio national guard. He was with General Frederick Funston, patrolling the Mexican border and participating in the search for Pancho Villa.
Weimer, known here in Wooster and at the college and in the army as “Skeets” enlisted in C. D June 22, 1916, and went to the Mexican border under Capt. M.R. Limb. He was a corporal at that time.
In the World War overseas, he was a sergeant in Co. D under Capt. Fred Redich with Major Limb in charge of the battalion which included Co. D.
Weimer was injured near Iavory, directly west of Montfaucon on the drive in which Co. D took part and which sent the Wooster soldiers forward from a ridge near Iavory. While advancing Weimer was injured near the road between Iavory and Montfaucon, declared Major Limb, who recalls well that day’s fighting.

1,600 Signers Obtained Here
Referendum On Auto License Bureau Transfer And State Police Bills Certain.
Some 1,600 signatures of Wayne county people had their part in forcing referendum votes on the McNamee bills passed by the present general assembly. One would transfer the auto license department from the office of the secretary of the state to the highway department. The other would create a system of state police.
Secretary of State George S. Myers, who gave an address on the license transfer bill before the Wooster Rotary Club some time ago, announced at Columbus over the week end that more than 200,000 signatures to the referendum petitions had been procured, whereas but 154,000 were needed to bring about a referendum.
Major M.R. Limb had charge of the circulation of the petitions in Wooster and most of Wayne county. In connection with his announcement of the signature, Secretary of State Myers made the following statement:
“It is to be regretted that the highway department used its million dollar overhead engineering staff in going about the state purloining signed petitions wherever they could. Now that they have not been able to prevent the committee from securing the necessary number of signatures, the highway director can put his high salaried engineers back on the job of cutting weeds, building unnecessary bridges and otherwise wasting the people’s money just like he did before the referendum was on.
“If that isn’t sufficiently exciting, he might put them to work sorting the large consignment of rusting Liberty truck parts fraudulently purchased by his department and with his approval some months ago. In that deal he approved an attempted steal of thousands of dollars from the state treasury by the issuance of a false highway voucher.
“Now in addition to highway thievery of money there has been added highway thievery of referendum ballots. Anyone who thus tries to thwart the right of the people to pass on their own laws may be classed as a public enemy. From an almost universal expression of opinion, we are satisfied that both of these measures will be overwhelmingly defeated at the polls in November.”

Opposes Sale Of City Land
Opposition to the proposal to dispose of any part of the 14 acre tract of land the city owns at the old site of Redick’s dam was voiced today by M.R. Limb, candidate for the Democratic nomination for mayor.
“During the time I was mayor of Wooster,” he said “an effort was made to dispose of that land. I opposed it then, and I am against it now. The land is in the upper portion of Christmas Run valley, which is a park and recreation site all the way down, including the Miller Lakes, the Country club, the city park, high school athletic field, Spring lake and the fair grounds. The city park is the only part of this valley, except this upper tract, that the city owns. It is so situated that eventually it will be valuable as parkland space. It may seem to have little value right now, but in 15 or 20 years, if the city grows, it will be valuable. If it is sold and not used for home sites, the city will be buying it back at $500 an acre when the time comes to use it. The thing to do is to keep it until it is needed.”

In a letter to Major M.R. Limb, Col. William L. Marlin, manager of veterans’ administration at Cleveland, who handled applications for emergency at Cleveland, who handled applications for emergency conservation work, says:
“Your card is received. We have no knowledge in reference to any additional quota for veterans for Emergency Conservation Work. The last acceptance date was at Akron, Sunday, July 2. If, however, any additional enrollments are made you will be immediately informed.
“In the Cleveland region we had a quota of 805 and had that many examined. In order to do this we certified every applicant unless the medical records in this office showed that he would not qualify either as principal or alternate.”

Thorough Cleansing Of Water Mains Advocated
Editor The Record: The attempt to clean our water system by flushing the mains in Bloomington will be an endless task. First, our health board should investigate the sources of contamination of our water supply, next clean the silt out of the Killbuck well, next clean the mud out of the Redick tank, next a systematic flushing of the mains at Madison avenue, Spruce street and several places along the route that the water must take to get to the higher portions of the city. But it can not be done by flushing hydrants as the valve seat will not allow flow sufficient to do any good. Large gate valves must be installed in the larger mains and systematically flushed.
We must relieve the lower portions of the city from the excessive amount of water being dumped into their sewers. They were not designed to carry the storm water as well as the sewage, yet more and larger intakes are constantly being installed with the result that the manhole coverings are forced off at every big rain and many of the cellars of the Bever street section are filled with water and sewage.
Streets — Let us put some of this money on relieving conditions that are more necessary than street paving at this time. They must be kept in repair and work and repair distributed in all parts of the city alike; later when we are flush start a larger program and use materials of home production with home labor.
Parks — I do not believe in giving up one foot of land that can be made available for park purposes. I believe we should acquire more park land and other portions of our city are entitled to the same benefits. I planted trees on the Bloomington reservoir site, the Spring street reservoir site, the Killbuck well site and some on the old Redick reservoir site. All have been neglected. They should be cleaned up and more and more trees planted. I would like to see one tree at the Killbuck well site named and tagged for each Wooster soldier who died in the Spanish American and World Wars.
Above all I believe in economy. No one has money to throw away on special improvements necessitating special taxes at this time. You would not today have been able to meet your bonded indebtedness if this money had not been placed in the sinking fund during my former administration. I am unable to follow or see any lasting return to prosperity by excessive borrowing and spending.

Long and Limb Win for Mayor
[with photos]
Critchfield Is Nominated For Solicitor
Ackerman And Schott Win Ward Council Contests in Local Primary.
Marcus R. Limb, Democrat, and William L. Long, Republican, emerged victorious in yesterday’s mayoralty primary in the city of Wooster, easily outdistancing their respective fields.
Henry (Hank) Critchfield was nominated by Democratic voters for Solicitor over Geo. N. Coffey in the only other contest passed upon by the voters in general.
Harry Ackerman defeated Roman Zerrer for the Democratic nomination for councilman in the first ward, while Walter Schott defeated Mrs. Sadie Grosjean for the Democratic nomination for council in the fourth ward.
Returns, received by the Board of Elections, and bulletined at the office of the Daily Record, were complete before 8:30 o’clock, the count being speeded by a comparatively light vote.

2,227 Votes Cast
A total of 2,227 voters went to the polls, of whom 1,117 were Democrats and 1,110 Republicans.
Charles Wiler was runner-up to Long in the Republican contest for mayor, and Harry Bogner was second man in the Democratic race.
First returns, reported before 7:30 gave both Limb and Long a comfortable lead, which was never overcome. In both cases the lead increased as more precincts reported.
Each winning candidate for mayor lost but a single precinct, although Limb’s vote was tied in two others while Long has a clear plurality in all but the one he lost.
Long was particularly pleased over the vote he received in his home precinct, where he counted 120 against a combined total of five for his two opponents. It was one of the finest tributes of neighborhood support that any candidate ever received at a primary election.

Interesting Battle Ahead
Results of the primary indicate an interesting context at the November election. Both candidates are known as aggressive leaders. While it is Long’s first venture into politics as a candidate, he has long been active in Republican party counsels and he has put his shoulder to the wheel in many campaigns. Limb, on the other hand, is a veteran campaigner in his own behalf, having served two terms as mayor in years past. Like his opponent he has been a leader in his party for many years.
“I never sought political office before,” Long said in his primary campaign, “because I never felt I could take the time from my business that an office would demand. I am in position now to be of service to my city if the electorate wants me, and if the voters feel that my success in my own business indicates that I could be a suitable mayor of the city of Wooster.”
“I hesitated a long time before becoming a candidate at the primary,” Limb said, “but there are some things I would like to do for the city if I am elected again. If my record in my past services as mayor justifies my return to that office, I shall again do my best, without fear or favor, in that office.”

Men Who Have Spent Their Lives in Wooster Are Rival Candidates for Office of Mayor
One of the two men pictured here will be elected mayor of Wooster on November 7th. Both have spent almost their entire lives here, they are practically the same age, both are men of positive character.
In the accompanying article are some facts concerning their lives, and some quotations obtained in interviews about their viewpoints on administering the affairs of the city.

Marcus R. Limb
[photo]
One of several photographs above the desk in the well-ordered dental offices of Dr. M.R. Limb in the Downing block shows members of Former Governor Vic Donahey’s military staff.
It is said to be the only military staff in Ohio history in which all of the members were officers who served in foreign lands. Dr. Limb is in the group.
The photograph bears this autograph:
“To Major Limb, the equal of the best. {Signed} Vic Donahey.”
It is a concise appraisal of the former chief executive’s opinion of one of the two men who is a candidate for the office of mayor of Wooster.
Nearly all of Marcus R. Limb’s life has been spent in this city. He was graduated from Wooster high school and from Wooster College, a member of the class of 1892 at the latter institution. He played baseball and football on the college teams, and among his courses in school engineering under Dr. Kirkwood.
His dental training was obtained at Tulane University and at the Atlanta Dental College.

Has Long Army Record
During his student days he was affiliated with the military unit at the college, ranking as lieutenant. After military training was abandoned at the college he enlisted as a private in Company D, O.N.G. and thus began a military career that has extended over a greater number of years than that of any other Wooster citizen. In 1894 he was commissioned a second lieutenant by Governor McKinley. He resigned in 1896 when he went south to practice his profession, but re-entered military service upon his return to Wooster in 1901 and has been continually in the harness since that time. He went to the Mexican border as captain of the Wooster company in 1916, returned to Wooster for two months in 1917 and then went to Camp Sheridan with the Wooster volunteers. From there he went overseas and served until the close of the war. After the armistice he was sent into Germany as a major in command of the 358th Inf. of the 90th Division, and was located at Gerolstein, remaining with the army of occupation until July, 1919. Returning to the United States he was stationed at Camp Pike, Ark., having served over one year in France and Germany. He was discharged October 20, 1919, but has since been continuously in service as an officer of the reserve corps. His two sons were both in service, one enlisting at the age of 14, the other at the age of 16, both serving overseas.
Dr. Limb has been active in local fraternal orders for many years. He is captain of Canton Wright, I.O.O.F., and Past Eminent Commander and Prelate of Wooster Commandery, Knights Templar.

Active in Politics
His political activity has also extended over a period of years in Wooster. He has served as precinct committeeman, as chairman of the Wayne County Democratic Central committee; as a member of the board of trustees of the Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home at Xenia, serving as president of the board for six years; and as mayor of Wooster. He was elected to the latter office in 1921 and served until the end of the year 1926.
Friends of Dr. Limb placed him in nomination as the Democratic candidate in the present campaign because they are convinced he was a conservative, efficient and economical mayor during his former administration of that office. He took the city in the pick and shovel age and motorized all departments.
In his campaign for election, Dr. Limb is pointing to several things that he promises to do if elected.
“In the first place,” he said, “something must be done in an economical way to rid our city water of its obnoxious iron content.” Pipe lines must be cleaned or gradually replaced.
“During my former term of office,” he continued, “the plant at Killbuck was electrified and a gasoline standby unit was installed insuring a continuous supply. That enabled us to eliminate the source of supply from Applecreek and the Bloomington reservoir, and for the first time in history Wooster people were permitted, under order of the state board of health, to use Wooster city water for drinking purposes.”

Some Solution Is Possible
“I am confident that a study of the present situation will evolve a system for removing the iron without spending any great amount of money. Possibly a slight change in the location of the supply might be effective. It is worth looking into, especially giving consideration to procuring water a little farther up the valley.
“I stand just where I did when I was mayor before in the matter of parks. I am not in favor of disposing of any lands the city now owns and which may be useful for park purposes in later years. We should have some better park facilities in other locations especially the south part of the city. The present park was obtained under my administration.
“Another matter that is serious is the amount of storm water that is being carried away through our sanitary sewers. This condition must be remedied. It is the only way we can stop flooding of cellars in the south part of the city. This situation has been aggravated as the years have passed by paving of more streets. Every paved street means that more water flows off in shorter time, and our sewers are not taking care of it.”

More Money Now
Dr. Limb insists that it is possible to do much more with finances now available in Wooster than when he was mayor before.
“Why, the city gets more money in gasoline and auto license funds today than we got from all sources during my first year in office,” he said today.
During Mayor Limb’s former administration, his friends assert, he worked with the sinking fund to map out a long term plan for paying the city’s debts which had increased from year to year without any plan for redemption of bonds. That program, they contend, has enabled the city to meet all of its obligations during recent years of depression placing Wooster in an exceedingly enviable position in comparison with many neighboring cities.
During a great part of his military career, Dr. Limb gave special study to problems of engineering in which he first became interested in Dr. Kirkwood’s classes at the college. He has taken special courses at regular army schools at Yellow Springs; Indianapolis; Ft. Benjamin Harrison; West Point, Ky.; Camp Perry; San Antonio; Ft. Sill; Wittlich, Germany; and Langue in France. They ranged from three weeks to several months.

Learned “Horse Sense”
“In the best of them,” he said, “the army’s best engineering experts tried to teach us common horse sense about general engineering matters. I tried to put those ideas into effect when I was mayor before. The waterworks improvement, cutting back street intersections to adapt “horse and buggy streets” to automobile travel and improvement of outlying streets are a few examples. The city has other problems today that are as pressing as those were then. I believe much can be done to solve them at little expense. I pledge myself wholeheartedly to making the attempt, and to accomplish what can be done without levying any special taxes for any purpose.”

William L. Long
[photo]
When they counted the votes at the Pittsburg Avenue precinct of the Second ward at the August primary, William L. Long received 120 out of 125 votes cast.
“I never expected that kind of a showing, and I consider it the finest tribute I have ever received,” the candidate said on the following day, when a complete count had established him as the Republican nominee for the office of mayor of Wooster.
The Pittsburgh Avenue is Mr. Long’s home precinct. He and his family have lived there for many years and this all but unanimous endorsement by his friends and neighbors just about overwhelmed him.
In his friendly, earnest, forceful way, the Republican nominee has gone about during the campaign, offering his services to the people of Wooster in the capacity of their chief executive.

Has No Pet Project
He has no “pet project” to spring on the people of Wooster if he is elected mayor on November 7th, he assured a reporter today.
“I shall endeavor,” he said, “to give open minded consideration to every worthy project that comes within my jurisdiction, and to weigh each from all angles, just as I have done during forty years in which I have been moderately successful in the business of contracting.”

Has “Surplus Energy”
“During those forty years,” he said, “I never felt that I could neglect my business to the extent of assuming any public office. I said no a good many times to kind friends who urged me to seek this office or that office. Now, however, I am in a different position. I have retired from active private business, and I have a little surplus energy left. I am offering it to the citizens of Wooster. Frankly, I would like to be mayor of this fine city, where I have lived practically all my life, where I have built homes and business blocks and banks and public buildings; where I have traded with merchants and manufacturers, and where I have enjoyed the friendships of so many people. If the voters of Wooster believe that the success I have had in my own business is such that I could use to the advantage of Wooster as its mayor, I shall gladly assume that responsibility, and I shall be in position to give practically my entire time to the task.”

Start on Small Scale
Born in Wooster in 1871, Mr. Long has spent all of his years here except a few during his youth. He learned the stone mason trade as a boy, and at the age of 20 went into business for himself. It was his first great adventure. He wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and his first contracts were modest ones — cellar walls, chimneys and similar work. From that point he branched out.
To David Myers, who spent many years in the erection of large buildings, not only here but in many states of the nation, Mr. Long attributes a lot of his own success.
“He has the age of wisdom born of experience when I, as a young man, associated with him. I guess I supplied the pep and enthusiasm, and I shall never forget the many things my association with him meant.”
The firm of Myers and Long was building Memorial Chapel at Wooster College when Old Main burned. They finished that structure, and build a goodly part of the new buildings, the power house, the library, Holden Hall, and, in more recent years Mr. Long, associated in partnership with Theo. Bogner, built the President’s home and other structures there.
At the Station [Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station] his firm built the abbatoir, the dairy building and a number of others.
His firm built the Wayne county jail — at a cost, by the way, of $4,400 — and made numerous changes in the court house.

Many Other Buildings
The Citizens bank, the Nolle block, the Wayne Building & Loan Co. the F.C. Snyder bakery, the Gerstenslager factory, the Mackintosh-Hemphill factory — these are but a few of those the contractor can point to as products of his skill and that of his workmen.
“And they’re all standing,” he points out, summarizing a life-long business policy of building well.

Sought Solid Formation
They tell the story that when he built the foundation for Kauke Hall, he found at one point that the earth formation was too loose for a foundation when he had excavated to the required depth. He called the college authorities and practically refused to build a wall unless plans were altered to permit him to excavate to a point of safety. It meant going down almost 20 additional feet at one point, but finally solid formations were encountered and the wall was built. The incident is being recalled by the contractor’s friends as one of many examples of his insistence upon first class workmanship in all of his undertakings.
Sixty years rest very lightly upon his rugged shoulders, and friends give assurance that he is modest when he says he has “a little surplus energy left” to give to his city. Few men of any age have more energy and push than this candidate who would enjoy the responsibility of administering the city’s affairs at the mandate of the voters.

He “Buys at Home”
Merchants in Wooster have long regarded Mr. Long as one of the staunchest “buy at home” advocates among their patrons.
“I don’t believe,” he said, “that I or my family have ever spent as much as $300 outside of Wooster for anything for our home that we could buy here. What money I made as a contractor came from Wooster and I have always felt that I owe it to my city to spend that money here among our own tradesmen.”
During his forty years in business here Mr. Long has dealt with large numbers of two groups of people. One group includes those for whom he constructed buildings, public officials, corporation executives and private citizens. The other group includes the laborers and skilled mechanics he had on his payrolls.
“They are my references,” he said today, “If I have dealt squarely with them, I know they will say so. Their combined judgment should be far better than anything I could say about my own qualifications for the office of mayor.”

Along The Way, by The Town Gossip
Leo Crites was telling us the other day of his first encounter with M.R. Limb.
Several years ago when Crites was a very young man he was walking up the street, he said, his head bent forward and his chest in, as was his custom in those days.
All of a sudden he felt the awfullest pounding on his back — nearly knocked the wind out of him and he heard someone say: “Stand straight, young man — how do you ever expect to get through life that way.”
He turned around and there was Limb.
“I’ve always thought kindly of him for that lesson,” Crites said as he threw back his shoulders.
Yours truly,

M.R. Limb For Mayor
[photo]
The taxpayers must pay for the experience as well as the mistakes of public officials. I do not believe in the policy of turning all of the city’s business over to the Service Director. The law provides that the City Board of Control, consisting of the Mayor, Service and Safety Directors shall act on and control city affairs. In my former term of service I made an honest effort to enforce the law. I shall continue, if elected, to do so and shall endeavor to conduct city affairs efficiently, economically and honestly in and for the best interests of all.

Here is List of Candidates Wooster Voters Will Elect And Defeat.
The belated “warm-up” of Wooster’s political campaign struck town over the weekend, according to reports from the rival camps today, and interest and enthusiasm had attained old-time peaks today on the eve of the election.
Confidence was expressed by leaders of both Republican and Democratic organizations today, with the general assumption being that the vote tomorrow will be close.
In the county, the liveliest issue is over the election of members of the county board of education, that campaign having been in the limelight for several weeks, its smouldering fires breaking out into conflagration proportions during the final days of the race.

Long Sweeps GOP In; Wets Win U.S.; Ohio Amendments Carry; Davis Wins
Helen Walter And Johnson Re-Elected
William L. Long, Republican, was elected mayor of the city of Wooster at yesterday’s election, obtaining the surprisingly large majority of 867 votes over M.R. Limb.
The vote was — Long,,, 2,867; Limb, 2,030.
The sweep of the Long victory carried almost the entire Republican city ticket to victory.
The Democrats, in fact, retained but one city office, that of auditor, to which Mrs. Helen Walter was re-elected by a majority of 121 votes; and one place out of seven in city council, Tony Casper, being elected councilman from the second ward.
John Ferguson, Republican, was elected president of council over Frank Glasgow, 2,488 to 2,062.
Edwin Johnson was re-elected city treasurer over W.R. Lightner, 2,795 to 1,811.
Marion Graven was elected solicitor over Henry Chritchfield, 2,567 to 2,188.
The three Republican candidates for council at large were elected, a gap of 300 votes separating C.J. King, high Democratic candidate from the low man of the opposition. The vote was Ralph Fisher, 2,707; Joseph Kistler, 2,436; Miles Shamp, 2,447; King, 2,113; Laper, 1,960; Gaut, 1,373.

Ward Councilmen
The vote on ward councilmen follows:
Second ward — Tony Casper, 417; C.J. Vaughn, 391.
First ward — Harry Ackerman, 321; Arthur E. Bowman, 331.
Third ward — C.I. Correll, 1056; W.K. Orahood, 591.
Fourth ward — Clyde Thorley, 677; Walter Schott, 534.

School Board Winners
Victors on the Wooster city board of education were Herman Retzler, Ward Fritz and Mrs. J.H. Faud for the long term and Emerson Miller and Mrs. Belle Saddler for the short term.
The vote was: Retzler, 2,417; Fritz, 1,930; Mrs. Faud, 1,706; Houser, 1,660; Fahr, 1,609; Mrs. Hunt, 1,498; Zook, 1,465; VanNest, 1,021.
For the short term — Miller, 2,838; Mrs. Saddler, 2,220; Mrs. Neel, 1,486.
Wooster, as stated elsewhere in this issue, voted against repeal of federal prohibition by a majority of 52, and against state repeal by a majority of about 140.
Many reasons were advanced today for the Republican sweep in the city of Wooster. Among them were that the Republican organization, directed by Neal Bowman, functioned efficiently during the whole campaign, and conducted a well-organized fight. Some dissension among supporters of the Democratic candidate was also credited with a lowering of the Democratic vote-getting ability. Mr. Long, as in the primary, when he outdistanced two rival candidates, showed the same strength at the election, rolling up a huge vote in every section of the city. Much of this was due to a thorough campaign which he made and in which he was ably assisted by other candidates on the ticket and by party workers.
Returns on the city election came in late last night, only two precincts having reported at 11 p.m. From then on returns came rapidly, and it was not long until all observers conceded the election of practically all of the Republican ticket.
Mrs. Walters was the only Democratic candidate on the ticket whose vote did not fall far below that of an opponent. With the vote half counted, Mrs. Walter took a lead of about 100 votes and maintained it through the remainder of the count.
The largest majority on the ticket was given to Edwin Johnson, who defeated his opponent by 964 votes, repeating his surprisingly good run of two years ago when he was first elected to the office.
Mrs. Walter and Johnson were the only candidates on the general ticket who were up for re-election.

War Declared
Wooster Company Leaves For France
April 6, 1917
Wooster, O., Sept. 29, 1917 — A cheering throng lined the streets as the Wooster boys from Company D, 146th Infantry, in command of First Lieutenant Fred C. Redick, marched to the Pennsylvania depot to embark for Camp Sheridan, Alabama.
Attached to this unit was Headquarters Company in command of Capt. Grover C. McCoy.
Company D was equipped with about 150 men with Walter Yost as second lieutenant and Julius A. Stark as first sergeant.
Captain M.R. Limb is attending training school at Fort Sills and will later join his unit in Alabama to assume command. Other units composed of Wooster men are the 112th engineers in command of Col. John McQuigg, and the 136th field artillery in command of Col. Dudley Hard.

American Legion
As Commander of Wooster Post 68, American Legion, I extend to these World War Veterans my sincere felicitations upon this fifteenth anniversary of the signing of the Armistice.
Ralph E. Figert

Two Wooster Men Receive Advancement
Limb Commissioned A Major And Redick Advanced To Captain.
Former Captain M.R. Limb received a major’s commission, and was attached to regimental headquarters. Former First Lieutenant, Fred C. Redick, has been named a captain to command Company D, 146th Infantry.
Capt. Redick, whose appointment was made several weeks ago, was the first lieutenant of the division to be advanced to a captain.

Tomorrow will be the fifteenth anniversary of the signing of the Armistice, and we shall all enjoy some type of celebration in commemoration of this event. However, it is fitting and proper that we should pause in reverent memory of those who did not return.
Fifteen years have passed since the end of that great conflict but the heroic sacrifice that these men made can never be forgotten.

Ex-Servicemen Who Live In Wooster And Vicinity Fifteen Years After Armistice of ’18
Fifteen years ago tomorrow Wooster joined with Ohio and the nation in celebrating the signing of the armistice.
It was one long day of celebration, of parades and band music and of whooping it up because of the triumph of the allied military forces over those of the central forces.
Many changes have come in 15 years. Many men who saw service in the army or navy, having enlisted in Wooster or Wayne county, have moved to other places. Many who went into service elsewhere are now residents of this community.
Wooster Post, American Legion, has made a consistent effort to keep a local roster of ex-service men but the list is never complete, never wholly correct.
On this eve of the armistice the Record publishes this list of ex-service men living in Wooster and immediate vicinity, with the suggestion that every reader examine it to refresh memories concerning the men who gave their services to their country.
The editor is asked to announce that any omissions are wholly accidental. Ex-service men living in or near Wooster and whose names do not appear here are asked to send or bring them to the Record in envelopes addressed th “Ex-Service”. All names so furnished will be added to the Legion’s roll.

Local Man Tells Of First Wooster-Denison Battles
Following is the first of three installments, telling of the first Denison-Wooster football tilts played in 1889, the first intercollegiate football games played in Ohio. This account was written by Dr. J.R. Jameson, of this city, who played in the games, at the request of the College News Service.—Editor.
By Dr. J.R. Jameson
The first time that I ever saw a football was in the fall of 1888. A fellow by the name of Kemerer, of the class of ’90, brought a football with him to college and in the afternoon we began to kick it around the campus. Soon so much interest developed in the sport that other footballs were purchased and books of rules for the playing of football were procured. A couple of teams were organized and a number of crude games were played on the campus.
In the fall of 1889 a still greater interest in football developed and the four upper classes soon had teams in the field. The class of ’98 won the championship which event was appropriately celebrated.
During this fall Rev. Kinley McMillin ’86, who had spent three years in Princeton Seminary, was in Wooster and how had become familiar with the playing of football at that institution acted as our instructor and coach.
Denison too during the fall of ’89 had developed an interest in football so that there was a game arranged between Wooster and Denison which was played at Wooster on the fair grounds November 24, 1889, Friday afternoon.
Our team had been chosen from the four class teams and as we had the advantage of a splendid coach in Kinley McMillin. It was a wild run away for Wooster with a score of 48 to 0.
A return game was played at Denison on December 6, 1889. In that battle the score was 50 to 0. As these were the only intercollegiate games played in the state Wooster can rightfully claim to have had the first Ohio Intercollegiate Champion Football Team.
In these two games the plays were mainly running with the ball around the ends, slipping with the ball through an opening made in the […illegible line at bottom of page…] mathematical exactness were used as one sees now in a modern football game. Nor were players protected by pads and splints and coverings as are provided for our present ‘elevens.’ In this trip to Granville, I well remember each fellow payed his own railroad fare and all other expenses. We left here on Thursday by railroad train and spent the day getting to our destination. The game was played on the next afternoon and in the evening after the game the Wooster team was given a reception, at which time each co-ed present, (and it seemed to me they were all present), was presented to each member of the team. We were certainly treated royally. The next morning we boarded a Big Four train and detrained at Centerberg where we spent most of the day waiting for the C.A. and C. train to Orrville and then to Wooster. We arrived here about 7 p.m. We were met at the depot by the whole student body, who were in a semi-delirious state. A parade was formed and we were marched up town and to the old Quimby Opera House to a show. The whole block of seats directly in front of the state had been bought up and these were occupied by the students with the team in the front row. The students were wildly delirious and interfered somewhat with the giving of the play much to the disgust of others holding seats in the three balconies. At first the actors were somewhat annoyed but as soon as they understood the situation they entered into the sport and began to make references to Wooster’s wonderful football team and this had the effect of quieting the students somewhat and the play continued without many interruptions.
This was Wooster’s second athletic triumph as on May 23, 1889, the first intercollegiate field day was held in Wooster on the fair grounds. The colleges that participated were Buchtel, O.S.U., Denison and Wooster. This was a gala day for Wooster as she easily won the contest with 62 points. O.S.U. had 51, Denison had 41 and Buchtel got 3 points. Kenyon was a member of the league but failed to send a representative. This was the start of intercollegiate athletics in Ohio and this victory helped to stir up ? interest in the organization of football teams the following year.

First Denison — Wooster Fray Recalled In 1926
Following is the second of three installments, telling of the first Denison-Wooster football games played in 1889, written by Dr. J.R. Jameson, of this city at the request of the College News Service. The first installment appeared on this page yesterday.—Editor.
By Dr. J.R. Jameson
In the fall of 1926 Wooster played Denison at Granville and I attended the game. While there I inquired whether or not there was anyone there that had played on Denison’s first football team. I was informed that there was one man and he was Prof. Willis A. Chamberlin, who was at the head of the Modern Language Department of the university. I sought him out and found him to be a very fine man indeed. We had a nice visit recounting incidents of those early games. I asked him whether he had any record of those games and he assured me that he had. s the Wooster records had all been burned I asked for a copy of his records. A few days later I received a letter from him and a copy of an account of the two games as published in The Granville Times of November 28 and December 12, 1889. Prof. Chamberlin’s letter gives the names of the players and lineup of both teams. As to the players on Wooster’s team I might add that they hd weight, power, ability and speed and had they been coached by L.C. Boles this team might have become the champions of the United States as well as of Ohio. Where would you find a finer physical specimen than Harry Scovel? And what players Campbell and Forgy and Riddle and Mox Limb would have made had they been properly trained.

Wooster, Ohio
Dear Doctor:
I have not forgotten the promise I made to you at the Wooster-Denison game to look up the account of that first game, but it was not so easy as I thought to find it. I could not find the college paper in the library, as the files are incomplete, nor could I find my own copies for that year. So I went as the last resort to the town paper and only this afternoon did I find what I wanted. There was an account of both games played and I copied it off. Here it is for the game played at Wooster, taken from the Granville Times of November 28, 1889.

In Denison’s Soup — The D.U. Boys Beaten At Football
“The Denison football eleven, E.E. Wood (manager) started for Wooster Friday last, hoping for victory over the Wooster University “Kickers.” The game was played Saturday afternoon, and resulted 48 to 0 in favor of Wooster.
F. Withoft of Dayton had his shoulder dislocated during the first part of the game and his place was taken by A.A. Thresher, who had been acting as referee.
Those who participated were:
Rushers, Frank Mardis, W.C. Carr, F. Brown, K.B. Ringle, C.H. Bosler, R.D. Treat, O.A. Wilkinson, E.E. Thresher. Quarterback, W.A. Chamberlin; halfbacks E.P. Childs, Captain F. Withoft; fullback, G.D. Hutson.
The Wooster men were heavier than the Denison and had had a great deal of practice by games between the classes. The utmost courtesy was shown the Denison boys who speak in highest terms of their reception. We are sorry that defeat came in the first game, but hope that the boys will persevere until they come home with laurels from some other field. Mr. Withoft was quite severely injured but the rest of the boys escaped unhurt.”

Dr. Jameson Scored Much In Second Ancient Game
Following is the last of three installments, telling of the first Denison-Wooster football game, written by Dr. J.R. Jameson of this city, at the request of the College News Service. Today’s article continues with a letter received by Dr. Jameson from a Denison player relative to the early games.—Editor.
By Dr. J.R. Jameson
“The Granville Times of December 12, 1889 has the account of the return game which was played at Granville on the Denison Athletic Ground on Friday afternoon, December 6.
“It gave the lineup as follows:

[illegible line at bottom of page]
Touchdown and goal — Jameson 6

Touchdown — Jameson 4
“I did not play in this second game, as a couple of days before the game a player in tackling me in practice had fallen heavily on me and given my ankle a bad sprain. It was in a plaster cast for three weeks. But I watched the game from the sidelines. I remember Riddle, a big muscular fellow. He was a Sigma Chi and called on me before the game.
“The summary of the second game confirms your remembrance of having made most of the scores. At least it seems most likely that you did the same thing in the game at Wooster. I remember one particular feature of that game which accounted in part for the large score. The rules were interpreted that a player must call “down” when he stopped an opponent running with the ball. We had not been trained to do that, and several times when we had downed our opponent and had not called “down” another Wooster player would run up and seize the ball and carry it on, while we waited for the ball to be put in play again.
“I am glad that you found me on the day of the game here and I hope we shall see each other more often.
Very truly yours,
Willis A. Chamberlin

Judge Weygandt Approves Short Jackson Day Talks
A number of short, snappy talks, instead of one or two lengthy addresses will constitute the speaking program at the coming Jackson Day banquet on January 8th, if plans of former Mayor M.R. Limb, chairman of the speakers’ committee are carried out.
In sending letters of invitation to a group of state officials and men prominent in Ohio political circles, Major Limb frankly stated that the program committee was arranging for brief talks from its guests of the occasion.
Chief Justice Carl V. Weygandt, one of a number who have accepted, warmly endorsed Major Limb’s policy. In replying, he said,
“I thoroughly agree with your views as to long speeches and an interminable program. There is no better way to keep people from attending your future meetings. This thing of long speeches has long ago ceased to be a joke. If I were in your place I should not hesitate to insist upon each speaker observing whatever time limitation you may impose; and I mean just that, irrespective of whether a speaker is a candidate for governor, senator, or King of Siam. When I observe a speaker violate all the proprieties by the length of time he consumes, I wonder whether it is due to egotism, selfishness or ignorance, or the combination of the three.”
In addition to Judge Weygandt, Associate Justice Charles B. Zimmerman and Howard L. Bevis have written they will come to Wooster for this occasion. It is also hoped by the local committee that Judge Florence Allen will accept the invitation extended to her, although no word has been received from her.
Others who have accepted the committee’s invitation are, Lieut. Governor Charles Sawyer, Secretary of State George Myers, William G. Pickrel of Springfield candidate for governor, Martin L. Davey of Kent, a prospective candidate for governor, State Senator W.P. Haynes of West Lafayette, and Joseph T. Ferguson, who has been a candidate for state office on the Democratic ticket in past years.
Judge G.A. Starn of Wooster has been selected as toastmaster for the occasion.

Peace Reigns Again In Camp Of Democrats
Local Leaders Bury Hatchet At Harmonious Executive Committee Meeting.
Wayne county Democratic leaders buried the hatchet of factionalism at a meeting of the county executive committee last night, agreed to forget past differences and get away to a new start for achievement through harmonious co-operation.
The first example of this spirit was shown in disposing of the matter of recommending a member for the county board of elections. Outstanding candidates had been Donald M. ? of Orrville, and Weyland Zaug of Wooster. The lines were ? lightly drawn before a piece move was started a day in advance of the meeting. As a result, Zaring was ? as a candidate and M? was unanimously recommended.

All Leaders For Peace
During the evening talks were made by most of the men who have been ? leaders of local groups alleged against each other. Among those who spoke were Judge Walter J. Mougey, Dean Weimer, Robert Critchfield, C.R. Moine, Jesse Ebert, Jenn Wein, M.R. Limb, Cy Sp?, F.S. Wertz, Weyland Zaring, Donald Miehls, Mrs. Howard Pontius and others.
Several of the speakers declared that the party is achieving success under the courageous leadership of President Roosevelt, and that petty factional differences in the community have no proper place in this program of progress. Several of the leaders, conferring among themselves prior to the meeting, reached the conclusion that most of their differences were based on mis-interpretations of minor matters. All of those concerned, it was reported today, were jubilant over the success of the peace move, and ready and anxious to back the “new deal” in their own ranks.
The factional fight had permeated both the central and executive committees to the point where every action brought a division in the vote.

Along The Way, by The Town Gossip
Jess Edwards is now the only one of a rather interesting list of Wooster people still in the carnival business. Mr. Edwards is “on the road” for the summer and is playing his “rides” in several Ohio town. Many of these were booked during the winter.
During the off season the “rides” are painted up, beautified, and made as attractive as possible.
The merry-go-round always the children better than any other attraction, and Mr. Edwards has had many a good season, even during the depression.
Milton Taggart is another Wooster carnival man. Mr. Taggart disposed of his attractions some three years ago. This year he was in the business for a short time, as the man who had purchased the outfit from him went broke and the merry-go-round and Ferris wheel came back to the original owner. The operating point was in Bay City, Michigan. Mr. Taggart was able to find a purchaser however, and is out of the business once more, and, he says, very happy over this fact.
Charles (Buck) Davis was another concession man, and when he passed away he still had a few strings on the “rides” where the purchaser was “not doing so well.” Mr. Davis was a very successful operator for several years.
James (Jim) Edwards, was another Wooster showman, but he confined his efforts to juggling and sleight of hand. For a number of years before he passed away he had achieved considerable of a reputation.
The late George Kettler probably knew more show people, on the stage and off, than any other Wooster citizen of two lifetimes. He was manager of the Opera House during its palmy days, which ended with the serious advent of the movies. For many years Dr. M.R. Limb was his partner.

An Independent Newspaper For Wooster And Vicinity, Printed Every Evening Except Sunday Early Morning Hikers
Not everyone having duties in Wooster’s business section rides to work in the morning. Among those seen daily enjoying a morning’s outing at 7 o’clock may be included Harry Newman, from the Madisonburg way, who walks along with a merry stride and seems to enjoy the trip. Should he overtake a fellow hiker, the conversation usually turns to current political matters. W.E. Painter of Bloomington is another 7 o’clock hiker. He does not come to the business district, but he walks briskly from his home to the college treasurer’s office. John Myers prefers to walk than ride from his home to the bank. He hustles along in fair and foul weather, but in bad weather carries an umbrella. He has often been the day’s first caller at the Record office. Judge L.R. Critchfield is another who gets up with the sun. He is seen in the early morning hours in his flower garden or walking around his door yard to inspect the shrubbery. Yes, he is always whittling a stick while walking. S.H. Dawson is another early bird, but he uses an auto to come to his shop. But, it is dollars to doughnuts that if he meets a friend near the intersection of Buckeye and Liberty streets he will begin to talk about the day’s news. Dr. M.R. Limb’s another good walker. For years he has walked from home to office and he swings along at a rate that makes many younger person hump to keep step with him.
Another to be up and doing at an early hour of the morning is Judge W.J. Mougey, who is holding court in New Philadelphia, taking the place of Judge Lindsey, who has been ill several months. Judge Mougey drives to and from home to New Philadelphia each day and 7 o’clock in the morning finds him ready and anxious to be on the way. The writer followed him down Bever street this morning and when a traffic light held up the automobile procession, Judge Mougey pulled out his watch to get the exact time and in a moment was on his way with the auto under good momentum within ten seconds. Who are some of the other early birds of Wooster?

Holmes Co. To Fight For Killbuck Reservoir
More Than 200 Attend Enthusiastic Meeting Held Last Night At Holmesville.
Holmes county today was prepared to wage a relentless battle to include the reservoir for Holmes and Wayne county designed to harness the menacing floods of Killbuck in the $35,000,000 Muskungum Watershead Conservancy project, tentative plans for which were announced in Monday’s Record.
H.E. Martin, an active citizen of Holmesville, was named president of organization to fight for the reservoir at an enthusiastic meeting of more than 200 determined persons last night at Holmesville. M.R. Limb of Wooster was named vice president; H.R. Rhoten of Holmesville was chosen treasurer, and Gerald Patterson was named secretary.
Chief Engineer B.C. Chambers and Senator Nickels of New Philadelphia gave short talks at the meeting. M.R. Kennedy, mayor of Millersburg, A.L. Fair, Democratic nominee for state representative, and Major A.B. Critchfield of Shreve were among those who attended the meeting.
Just what definite steps would be taken were not known today, according to Mr. Martin, but it was definitely established that Holmes county would be well represented at a meeting of the directors of the Conservancy District to be held at New Philadelphia, September 21.
“It was a pretty lively meeting, and one could easily tell what the boys had on their minds,” Martin told the Daily Record this morning.
Engineer Chambers said if more money could be rescured the Holmesville reservoir could be built.
He said there might be a possibility of getting some smaller dams to keep back the water in some of the streams that run wild in the spring and cause the Killbuck to overflow.
It was Mr. Chambers’ contention that there was a 12 foot fall from the Pennsylvania railway tracks south of Wooster to the site of the proposed Holmesville dam, and that it would be difficult to more than retard Killbuck waters during the flood season, which, in effect, is what the overflow of the lands along the banks do now.
“It was the sense of the meeting that everything possible be done to get this Holmesville dam if possible,” said Dr. M.R. Limb, today, “and that Wooster, Millersburg, and all communities along the route be asked to co-operate in every way possible.”
Dr. Limb was interested in the engineer’s statement that there was a possibility of dams to stop the rush of the smaller streams in the spring and thus keep Killbuck from overflowing.
“This might be a real workable idea,” Dr. Limb said.

RAP Project In Protests
Holmesville Residents Object to Dropping Dam Site From Project.
Decision to file a protest with officials of the Muskingum water-shed conservation district was reached Tuesday evening at a meeting in Holmesville of residents of Holmes and Wayne counties. Objections will be made to dropping the Holmesville dam site from the district program.
The Holmes-Wayne Conservancy Association was formed at a meeting in Holmesville last Friday, and at the meeting Tuesday night Wayne Badger, Millersburg attorney, was appointed to represent the district in legal matters.
Badger conferred Wednesday with district officials, as well as residents in Coshocton, Tuscarawas and Stark counties who are opposed to the present setup. He will give a report and direct the association’s course of action at a meeting Thursday evening at 7 o’clock in the Holmesville council chamber.
It was decided at the meeting Tuesday night to sell memberships in the association to residents of Holmes and Wayne counties for 50 cents.
Present district plans, it was said at the meeting, are unbalanced, as the Killbuck watershed is left out entirely. H.E. Martin of Holmesville, president of the association, said that the Killbuck valley is one of the largest in the district, as it extends from Medina to the Walhonding valley in Coshocton county.
“Plans as they are drawn up now,” he said, “will not provide flood protection for Coshocton and other counties south.” Badger will present a plan on how the Holmes-Wayne Association should proceed at the meeting tonight. Petitions protesting against the elimination of the Holmesville dam site also will be circulated at the meeting.
It is planned to have the petitions signed in duplicate. If the majority of landowners in the valley favor a protest, one copy of the petition will be sent to officials of the conservancy district and another will be sent to Secretary of Interior Ickes.
Directors of the local association are H.E. Martin, president; Major Marcus Limb, vice-president; Kenneth Patterson, secretary; Reeder Rottman, treasurer, and seven other members. Five of the seven who already have been appointed are R.S. Cox, A.Lee Fair, mayor J.L. Kennedy of Millersburg, Louis R. Crawford and Pater Painter.

Holmes-Wayne Residents Protest Project Setup; Want 20,000 Signatures.
Pass 1,000 Petitions At Meeting; Say No Benefit.

Petitions protesting against the present setup of the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District were distributed Thursday night at a meeting of the Holmes-Wayne Conservancy Association in Holmesville. One thousand petitions were passed out, and it is hoped to secure 20,000 signagures.
Objections are based on the fact that present plans will in no way benefit property owners in the Killbuck watershed, altho the district can assess $5 per $1,000 of tax valuation on a miximum basis of five mills each year and for an indefinite period.

Badger Resigns
Wayne Badger, who had been retained as attorney for the association, presented his resignation at the meeting. “You have my heartiest support,” he said, “but in view of the fact I have been nominated for Holmes county prosecutor, I feel it would be better for me to resign, as I shall be compelled to represent the county in any litigation that arises in case I am elected.”
Badger pointed out that Holmes county would receive a very small share of labor when the flood control work is started in the district. He explained that labor will be apportioned to the various counties on a basis of the number of persons on relief lists. At present Holmes county has less than 300 persons on its relief list.
A protest already has been filed with Secretary of Interior Ickes by Major Marcus Limb of Wooster, vice-president of the association and formal protests are to be filed Sept. 8 at district headquarters and at Washington.

A copy of the petition being circulated follows:
“We, the undersigned, being residents of Holmes and Wayne counties, Ohio and being adjacent to and being affected by the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District, hereby object to and protest against the plans as a whole and each and every item of said plans as contemplated. The objection is based on the fact that the plans as now set up will in no manner shape or form benefit in any way whatsoever the properties in Holmes and Wayne counties or the citizens and taxpayers thereof in the Killbuck watershed.
“And yet, while there is no benefit, either actual or constructive, the district can assess against Holmes and Wayne counties on a maximum basis of five mills or $5 per $1,000 of tax valuation each and every year indefinitely against the general duplicate of Holmes and Wayne counties.
“Therefore, we earnestly petition the directors of the conservancy district and the conservancy court of the Muskingum watershed to formulate the plans to benefit Holmes and Wayne counties or in the event they do not receive any benefit, that an order be made by the conservancy court that no taxes shall ever be levied upon Holmes and Wayne counties for the project.”

No attorney has yet been appointed to succeed Attorney Badger in representing the association in legal matters. Judge William N. Crow of Millersburg was approached but he declined to accept the appointment.

Talks were made at the meeting by E.S. Wertz, J.W. Ebert, M.R. Limb, John Wein and Chairman Hochstettler. Harmony prevailed throughout the meeting and confidence was expressed by those who spoke that the organization has set its sails for a voyage to victory in November.
The executive committee was named in response to a motion made by Mr. Ross to the effect that it be composed solely of members of the central committee.
The committee voted, as last year, to retain all authority in the central committee except that of naming members of election boards, which is delegated by law to the executive committee.

Petitions For Killbuck Lake
They’re in Circulation Here After 2,000 Sign in Holmes County.
Petitions asking for flood control of the Killbuck river and declaring that such control is necessary to provide an efficient flood control system for the Muskingum valley are in circulation for Wooster today.
Some 2,000 signatures were obtained in Holmes county within 24 hours this week, it was stated here today. Petitions are available in various parts of Wayne county. In Wooster they may be found in the hands of Jos. Kuhles, Zarlengo Billiard parlor, Stark’s grill, Zarling and Keister, Chas. Hott and M.R. Limb.
A reservoir near Holmesville had been tentatively proposed as a part of the Muskingum project but when the plans were made public recently this was not included, and no structure was provided to care for Killbuck flood waters.
The petitions circulated here declare that the plan, as proposed, does not constitute an efficient and well-balanced plan of flood control.
The petition asks the conservancy court to issue an order that no taxes shall be levied against Wayne or Holmes county for this project.
Persons desiring to sign these petitions may do so by contacting any of the places or persons named above.

Limb Wanted Passes Cut Down — 10 Years Ago
M.R. Limb (it was Mayor Limb then) was much opposed to the use of the forward pass in football about this time in 1924. Having played a lot of football for Wooster College “back in the days when,” Mayor Limb suggested that the new offensive weapon be handicapped. It was his thought that a team tossing a pass which was incomplete be forced to put the ball in play from the point where it was thrown. The mayor pointed out that this would mean a loss of from five to ten yards on each incompleted pass. He also suggested cutting field goal values from three to two points. Adding the five yard penalty for incomplete passes eventually came. But now it is abandoned as too big detriment to the modern offensive game.
__________
Coach L.C. Boles Also Had Some Objections To It
Coach L.C. Boles, whose team by the way had tied Ohio State a short time before the interview, also was opposed to the use of the pass in any large numbers. Suggestions of Coach Boles were that the teams be limited to ten passes in each game or that the distance to be gained in four downs be decreased from ten to eight yards to encourage teams to use more running plays. It might be noted here that Wooster stayed well within that limit last week against Akron, using five tosses. Akron also used just the ten Coach Boles suggested back in 1924 as the limit. Contrast that with the 43 tried by Wooster High at Dover a few weeks ago.

Ebert, Start In Race For Postmaster
Dr. Limb And Miss Beer Drop Out of Contest — Decision Still Months Away.
Although the term of Capt. F.C. Redick Wooster postmaster, has over a year to run some interesting developments have occurred recently in the matter of his successor.
Local political observers ever since the election of President Roosevelt have been speculating as to who would get this chief local political plum and names of numerous “deserving Democrats” have been heard from time to time as postmaster possibilities.
Mayor M.R. Limb, former Wooster mayor and for many years active in party affairs here and Miss Jeanne Beer secretary of the Wayne County Democratic Central committee, were among those who were counted as possible candidates. Inquiry this week had revealed that both of them had definitely decided not to seek the postmastership.
Another recent development was a letter which was sent to members of the committee by Former Mayor J.W. Ebert announcing that when the proper time came, he would ask for the committee’s endorsement for the position.
Inquiry has also revealed that an active aspirant for the position will be Capt. Julius Stark, commander of Company K and a world war veteran.
Both Mr. Ebert and Capt. Stark ex? [unreadable line] leaders in Wooster and Wayne county. Mr. Ebert has served the city of Wooster both as mayor and service director, and previous to that service was recorder of Wayne county. In earlier life he was a school teacher and when he abandoned that work was in the railway mail service for many years before being elected to the county office.
Capt. Stark was active in old Company D before the world war and went with that command to France in the conflict. Upon returning to Wooster he embarked in the restaurant business in which he is now engaged, having for a time however been a salesman for the Gerstenslager company. He is the present commander of Wooster Post American Legion and is providing that organization with aggressive leadership.
Names of several others have been mentioned in connection with the postmastership but they have apparently confined their efforts up to the present time to a watchful waiting policy.

Tribute Paid All Veterans
Thousands Take Part in Annual Memorial Day Program in Wooster Cemetery
“We are met this morning to honor human bravery,” said Hon. E.S. Wertz in opening his Memorial Day address in the Wooster cemetery before a throng that surrounded the speaker’s stand in the rise of land near Madison Avenue.
“The soldiers of all American wars fought to maintain country and home and all soldiers were equally brave. Some soldiers had greater opportunities to show the bravery than others.
“Today we heard the same martial music that was played when Wayne county boys marched away in the civil war, when Company D marched away for Cuba and when the World War veterans offered their services for home and country. It is the music that is always played during a war.
“We are not here to glorify war, but bravery. Every soldier hates war as much as anyone else does. There have been and there will be brave boys and girls in Wayne county.”
Mr. Wertz read from the Memorial Day roster the names of scores of families in Wayne county who sent soldiers into the civil war, the Spanish American war and the World War. He read the names of many Wayne county boys who rose in rank to colonels and other positions as officers.

Story of Freedom
A short history of the struggle for freedom from the time of Babylon in the present time was given by Mr. Wertz who cited the conflict in Europe that led brave men and women to come to America to form a free government. The thrilling days of the civil war, the Spanish American war and World War were reviewed and the names of many brave Wayne county soldiers were read with short descriptions of their acts that led to the highest military praise.
“Bravery, my friends, is something sacred. Wayne county breeds brave men. This hallowed ground contains the remains of hundreds of Wayne county soldiers who received the highest honors in wars.”

Family Names Read
As the names of families were read showing that fathers who had fought in the civil war were followed by sons who fought in later wars, there was applause after each name by the audience. Short histories were given of the Spanish American war and the World War.

Organizations Thanked
On behalf of the Memorial Day general committee Mr. Wertz thanked all the organizations that took part in the day’s ceremonies. After the graves of veterans had been visited by members of families, the crowd gathered around the speaker’s stand. Older persons occupied seats under a canvas canopy while the younger veterans, band and drum corps members. Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts stood in the shade of the beautiful forest trees. The persons who took part in the program occupied chairs on the speaker’s platform, which was draped with national colors. The benediction by Rev. J.H. Spencer brought the program to a close.

Old and Young March
Wooster paid tribute to veterans of all wars in beautiful and sincere manner, with old and young taking part in the ceremonies. The sun shone brightly from the time the annual parade was started from memorial Hall at 9 o’clock to long after the ceremonies had been completed in the cemetery and lines had been disbanded in the city after the return march. Civil war veterans and members of the Relief Corps rode to the cemetery, but the soldier and semi military organizations marched in the ranks to music furnished by the high school band and the Women’s drum corps. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, school children and citizens joined the parade, which was longer than those of former years. With the exception of the 500 school children, the Girl Scouts had the largest representation in the line of march. Each organization was dressed in the regalia of its order.
The Women’s Relief Corps read the ritual in honor of the dead of the navy at the cemetery bridge.

President, Fred Clodfelter
Vice President, Neal F. Bowman
Chief Marshal, Capt. Walter C. Yost
Aides, Major M.R. Limb; Chief of Staff, Capt. J.A. Stark, Capt. Ward S. Fritz, Lt. Cloyd Sands, Lt. G.W. Unger, John P. Grassbaugh, Robert Schuch.

Benediction, Rev. J.H. Spencer

Cemetery Was Beautiful
Never has the cemetery looked more beautiful with its excellently kept graves and driveways. Flags floated from the graves of all veterans and garlands of flowers had been placed on the graves of civilians. The Memorial Day committee had planted a blooming geranium on the grave of every deceased veterans and other flowers had been placed on these graves by loving hands of family members.

Just Sport By Nig Murray
We’ll Admit A Failure
  Today I have to confess to a failure. Did I hear someone crack “another?” For the past ten days I have been using persuasive measures to get our Society Editor to attend the wrestling matches tonight at the Coliseum at the fair ground. Today I am assured by her that her “No” is final. Being “ladies night” I had thought she and her boy friend would take in the exhibition. But I must give up.

A Chair Ruined It
There was a time when I thought I was making progress. But a chair incident at Mansfield reined it all. In a paper which comes to us on the Exchange list, our writer of social events saw where some blonde was knocked out at Mansfield when hit with a chair at a wrestling match there. That settled it, it seems. The paper, with the item plainly marked, was left on my desk with a “No, thanks,” penciled thereon.

Explanations Are In Vain
In vain I explained that such a thing cannot happen here. The seats on which the feminine fans tonight here will sit will not be in such dangerous quarters. In fact the Coliseum is so arranged that inside the enclosure there can be a small war waged and the spectators can stay outside the rail and remain spectators — if they want to do so. I guess I am not too much surprised at my failure to convince. My persuasive powers with the opposite sex never have been anything to be envied.

More On That Fight
Here is another angle on the Braddock-Baer fight which has just been unearthed. M.R. Limb was interested enough in the battle to keep a check on the blows struck. The checkup shows 267 blows struck by Baer and 203 by Braddock. “I thought Baer was winning by a mile,” remarks Limb. He had the blows separated into three divisions, body blows, hard effective blows, and just blows. And Limb did not check off blows which were blocked or missed. Baer’s side of the sheet is well dotted with hard effective wallops. Braddock’s is pretty much all “just blows.” Baer struck the most blows in ten of the rounds. Not liking Graham McNamee, I find it easy to think Limb checked them right as given over the radio.

Season Opening for Members of Wooster’s Women’s Clubs
The 1935-36 season for members of the various women’s clubs is beginning this month, with quite a number of the clubs holding their first meetings next week.
As none of the members of the Junior Women’s club have children of school age, that club was able to begin its year somewhat earlier than the others, having no school openings to take into consideration. They held their first meeting last Wednesday evening at the home of Miss Eloise Quinby, with a musical program as the first of those on various subjects which comprise the year’s work. Miss Matilda Jameson is president of the club for the 1936-36 year.
This coming Tuesday Mrs. Walter Foss and Mrs. Fred Howard will entertain members of the Travelers’ club at the Wooster Country Club. The Travelers’ Club program this year is divided into two subjects: “Facing East,” and “Contemporary Trends,” with the first paper to be presented by Mrs. Rob C. Taylor, entitled, “Racial Origins in the East.” Mrs. Ed Douglass has been elected president for this year, succeeding Mrs. Taylor, president of the 1934-35 year.
Signet Club members will begin their year with the meeting next Wednesday, September 18, which is to be held at 12:30 o’clock at the Country Club, with Mrs. L.C. Boles, hostess; Mrs. M.R. Limb, president of the club last year, will preside at this meeting, handling the gavel during it. Mrs. H.L. Retzler, who has been elected president for this year.

Give Reasons Why Grand Stand Levy Should Carry
Why should the one-mill levy for a grand stand at the county fair receive the support of Wooster and Wayne county voters?
Here is what two men say –
The surprising thing to me is that there should be any doubt in the mind of any one visiting the Wayne county fair, as to the necessity for a grand stand, concrete and with entrances to the rear so that new comers do not obstruct the fiew of those in seats.
Just say, I favor a good concrete structure, will vote for it, and ask my friends to do the same.
M.R. Limb

As Wayne county is at the top in agriculture, so should our county fair be at the top.
If the one mill levy carries it will not only provide for a new grand stand, which is a great necessity, but the revenue from same will be a great aid in attaining this goal.

Daly’s Summary of Long’s Administration:
In reply to the claim of the present administration relative to the Water Softener, they did not tell you that the bonds issued were placed on the General Tax Duplicate when they had told you that it would be charged up against the Water Dept.
Truth about Water situation, under the Fisher administration the complete plans for a Well, Pump House and Softener were drawn up and filed at the City Hall. Fisher started Water Plant by constructing a Well and Pump House, using steam Motive power. Limb changed the mode of power to electricity, constructed a larger Pump House.
Each successive administration, taking into the consideration the amount of bonded indebtedness, could not see its way clear to add more bonds to the city’s already over burdened tax-payers, however every effort was made to add to the Water Dept. sinking fund so that some day the Softener could be constructed. When Long took office $22,000.00 had been laid aside toward its construction. Long supplied with the funds by the Tax payer and former administrations built what was in contemplation for many years. He paid $5,000.00 for plans and specifications, (engineers’ services) when all plans had been on file at the City Hall since the Fisher Administration.
Yes, he changed the High Street Water Mains but he didn’t let any of the property owners along that street in on the line, they must take their water off of the old rusty two inch line.
Water collection increased because at the height of the depression many were unable to pay at all, however, did he collect as much as was collected under former administration?
As for the Redick Dam site, he sold it for a song and spent the money. Now we have nothing. We would have had a good Park Site with more value in Trees than he received from his sale. Try to buy it back and you will be asked five times as much even today for this property. Some streets were paved with Government money, and the brick taken from the streets were also used by the city when they had been paid for by the property owner, thus some property owners are paying for material used to pave streets and alleys not abutting their property.
The CITY HALL was repaired, but we paid for it, and paid the henchmen of the Mayor $1.25 an hour for their labor while other labor received only forty cents an hour.
TRAFFIC. Why are Trucks allowed to obstruct our streets? Why can a child be killed, standing on the Sidewalk and the guilty not punished? New fines, yes, thirty spaces were lost on the LONG service truck sent to all accidents by the police, to the exclusion of all other dealers?
Now what you didn’t accomplish. You allow Slot Machines all over the town, as well as Punch Boards in violation of the law. Saloon conditions are far worse than they were under the old days. More of them and not as orderly, with plenty drunks and women and kids for occupants. Have not enforced Anti-Screen Law. Why are a couple of your policemen retained when they have been suspended twice for drinking while on duty?
Why is the cost of administration four times as much as before? Are you doing four times as much? Or are you spending it on re-election? There is nothing that has been accomplished but what the city pays for, but the question is, has the improvement been made to the best interest of the Taxpayer.
You received a FULL TREASURY, both in Sinking fund and General Fund saved up by former administrations and you have spent it. That is the sum and substance of your administration and handling of the city’s business.
Signed
Albert Daly

Tracks Made By Dinosaurs Are Preserved
Footprints Left in Sandstone in Past Ages Added to Wooster Geology Museum.
Six specimens of dinosaur tracks, perfectly formed, taken from sandstone formations near Kanab, Utah, have just been purchased by Dr. Karl Ver Steeg for the geology museum at the college and are now on display there.
These tracks range from one and a quarter of an inch, showing a stride of a few inches, probably tracks of a baby dinosaur, said Dr. Ver Steeg to one 16 inches long.
“It was through Dr. and Mrs. M.R. Limb that I obtained the information as to where the tracks could be purchased. Several years ago Dr. and Mrs. Limb made a motor trip through the west and on their way from Salt Lake City to the Grand Canyon stopped at Kanab. A man in charge of a tourist camp told them about the tracks and he is probably the man engaged in the sale of dinosaur tracks.
Dr. Ver Steeg believes that the tracks were made when the dinosaurs walked over the sand while it was in a moist condition as there is evidence in the tracks that the sand was wet.
The dinosaurs lived during the Triassic period for their tracks occur in the Chinle sandstone formation which is known to be in the upper Triassic age.
The petrified forest of Flagstaff, Arizona, occurs in the same formation. The Chinle sands were laid down by sluggish streams over a broad basin of almost desert-like character. The lowlands were swamps and shallow lakes while on the higher ground surrounding the basins there were scattered stands of conifers.
“The sandstone in which the tracks occur is very red indicating thorough oxidation of the iron a condition common in arid regions. This sandstone and related formations are responsible for the brilliant red colors in Zion canyon and the colorful landscapes of the Painted Desert of Arizona.
“Compared with the giant dinosaurs of the Cretaceous, the Triassic forms were much smaller. Nearly all of them were slender of build and few reached a length of more than fifteen feet.
“Almost all of the Triassic species were bipedal and shaped somewhat like a kangaroo, with powerful hind legs, a thick powerful tail which aided the animal to balance the body as it ran.
“The bipedal dinosaurs did not leap like a kangaroo, but ran somewhat like an ostrich. The side toes on the hind feet were already small or degenerate on most of the Triassic species so that they made three-toed footprints which were long taken for tracks of birds.”

Bonus Blanks Are Sent Here
Veterans May Procure Them From Service Officers Of Posts And V. of F.W.
Official notice was received this morning by Albert S. (Jack) Weber, secretary of the Wayne County Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Relief Commission, that 1,200 adjusted compensation blank forms have been sent to him from the Cleveland regional office of the Veterans’ Administration for distribution to Wayne county service organizations.
Mr. Weber said that as soon as the blanks arrive, probably this afternoon or tomorrow, he will place them in the hands of M.R. Limb, Otto Lehman, Postmaster Stark, O.A. Merrill and Hank Summerville, in Wooster, service officers of the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars, where veterans may obtain them. Mr. Weber will also see that blanks are placed in the hands of service officers of American Legion posts at Shreve, Applecreek, Orrville, Doylestown, Rittman, Creston and West Salem.
William L. Marlin, manager of the Cleveland office of the Veterans’ administration, in a letter to the Daily Record, states that veterans should procure these forms from one or the other service organization, rather than from the secretary of the soldiers’ and sailors’ relief secretary.
The instructions received by Mr. Weber for distribution of the forms, include the following.
“It is respectfully requested that you co-operate with this office to see that these forms are distributed equitably to the organizations that request them. In the event that more forms are issued to one organization than are actually needed, you may recall them for re-issue to some other organization within the county. Issuance of these forms should be limited to the service organization who have in the past cooperated in the execution of veterans claims and services.”

Local Troubles Face Picking of Delegates
Columbus, O., Feb. 13 — Democratic Plans for a harmonious achievement of a Pro-Roosevelt slate of candidates for delegates to the Philadelphia convention were entangled today in two different briar patches of dissension.
Both developments were of a purely local character but nonetheless were being closely watched in Washington where a final adjudication may be required through wielding of the big stick by President Roosevelt, Postmaster James A. Farley and Charles West, under-secretary of the Interior and the president’s contact man in Ohio.
A bitter struggle for county control was in progress here with Postmaster Nathan A. McCoy and Congressman Arthur P. Lamneck fighting for the removal of Louis W. Adams, county chairman, who with Walter F. Heer, former chairman, was selected by the Davey-Poulson faction as 12th district convention delegates.
McCoy and Lamneck declared openly that unless Washington acts to straighten out the situation a bitter fight is certain for the two delegate seats in this district at the May 14 primary.
Democratic leaders in Cleveland’s 22nd district received word today from Senator Robert J. Bulkley that he would oppose W.B. Gongwer, Democratic county leader, as a candidate for delegate. Bulkley also stated that he would not OK any delegate from the 20th and 21st districts who had not first been approved by Congressman Martin L. Sweeney and Robert Crosser.
Senator Bulkley hinted that he may offer a “substitute” for Gongwer who has submitted a tentative list of candidates to West. In state-wide selections West is consulting with Carl H. Hanefeld, chairman of the State Central Committee and not Francis W. Poulson, executive committee chairman and spokesman for Governor Davey.
Fourteenth and Sixteenth District candidates for delegates were endorsed in a harmony session of Roosevelt backers at Akron yesterday.
Cornelius Mulcahy, veteran Akron Democratic leader, and Albert L. Caris, Ravenna attorney, were named for the 14th district with Myria Smith of Kent, secretary to Governor Davey, and Mrs. Vivian Conner of Akron, as alternate.
Arthur Limbach, New Philadelphia attorney, and Charles Raedel of Canton, state central committeemen were chosen for the 16th district with Max Limb of Wooster and J.A. Anderson of Millersburg as alternates.

Business Men Name Officers
Hear Address By Judge Garver Urging Re-Election of President.
The Roosevelt Business and professional Men’s Club of Wayne County was organized Wednesday night at the Court House.
Edwin S. Wertz, attorney-at-law, was elected president; Marcus R. Limb, dentist, first vice-president; Roy Ebert, barber, second vice-president; Justice John Van Ness, secretary; and Wellington Webb, deputy clerk, treasurer.
The board of trustees will be appointed later.
The Club was organized under the direction of W.B. Roulstone of New York City, national director of the Professional Men’s League for Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Former Supreme Court Justice W.F. Garver of Millersburg was present and addressed the meeting. Judge Garver is a candidate for the state senate in this senatorial district. He spoke of the great human heart of President Roosevelt referring particularly to his efforts to see that the blind, the helpless, afflicted and the aged are provided for as far as possible through the assistance of federal funds so that they may not be neglected. He spoke of the president’s efforts to provide employment so that self-respecting citizens should live and retain their self-respect until conditions became normal and more men and women could find employment, and of his efforts to provide for the humble and lowly in America, at the same time the government was caring for the business man and the business interests of the country.
He referred to the president’s philantrophy — of spreading benefits to the great mass of humanity so that no one would suffer. He declared that prosperity has returned, that people are finding employment in individual enterprises and that the times are better, and that it has always been a great point in the election of presidents that the objet of any administration was to restore prosperity.
Judge Garver referred to the fact that while there may be some large business men opposed to the president, he finds that the small business man and the professional man were as hard hit during the depression as any other class, and he finds that these two classes are largely for the president’s re-election.
He spoke of Roosevelt’s efforts for peace among all nations on the western continent in order to prevent war, and said the important thing was to keep a man in the  White House who was opposed to war and who would not become entangled in any European questions. He said the women of the country were behind the president because of their confidence in his efforts to keep the country out of war now and in the future.
Judge Garver referred to the “full dinner pail” campaign of Wm. McKinley and of Senator Hanna’s program of “let well enough alone and stand pat,” indicating that prosperity would be retained or restored by the election of the candidates at that time. He said that the same principle applied at this time — that the administration that had restored prosperity to the nation should be retained. That if this philosophy was sound in the past, it was equally sound to elect to office a man who restored prosperity as President Roosevelt did, and that “we should all get behind him and cooperate with him to place prosperity on a permanent basis so as to prevent future recurrences of the terrible conditions through which the country has passed since 1929.”
Judge Garver is well known in Wayne County and when he has been a candidate for office heretofore has always received fine support here.
The Wooster Club expects in the near future to have a business man address the citizens of Wayne county.
