Ach's service on the School Board. Mr. Ach said, in part: "Let me say to this gentleman and to the organization which he represents, that I have no apologies to make and that I am willing to stand squarely upon the record of my official career. I wonder if he knows that almost the entire increase of school outlay was because of the Increase in teachers' salaries? He quotes figures beginning with 1912. Does he know the distressing condition of the Cincinnati school plant that time? Does he approve of the marvelous constructive work of Dr.

Withrow, with whom I was proud to be associated for the many years I served on the board? Does he criticize the increase granted to teachers who were being paid on such a distressingly low scale at the beginning of the period he quotes, until now it is at a fairly decent level?

Referring to the personnel of the Sheriff's staff, Mr, Seasongood named one man "who had been re moved as a Municipal Court Bailiff because his methods had evoked the protests of the lawyers of Cincinnati, and who was at one time under ar rest for threatening voters at the polls." He named another who was arrested in Hamilton, Ohio, and con victed of a charge of driving while intoxicated after he had run down a pedestrian, being fined $200; another who, driving while intoxicated in Hamilton, had run down a ten-year-old boy, and had driven from the scene, pursued by indignant citizens, who finally captured him at Mount Healthy. He read from records of a raid of an alleged home-brew parlor on October 19, following a hold-up by gunmrm, In which one of the victims was the wife of a former Sheriff, find at which two Deputy Sheriffs were among the persons not arrested. "With conditions such as these existing In Hamilton County, is it any wonder that decent, right-thinking citizens, believe it Is time to make a change at the Courthouse?" Mr. Seasongood asked. Mayor Wilson, in a brief address, said, among other things; "In the brief time I have been Mayor I have come to realize that the city administration has been shot at from ambushand that ambush is the Courthouse." He referred to the fight on the incinerator, and charged that the Republican organization has been conducting a house-to-house propaganda spreading the idea that an incinerator "will be built next to each home, or just around the corner." "The truth Is that no odor emanates from an incinerator of the modern type." he said.

"Covington and Norwood have them, and they work perfectly." Arrangements to have Mr. Season-good broadcast his speech from the Avondale School went awry. Through an unexplained "slip-up" there was no microphone at the school, although it had been contracted for. Mr. Seasongood immediately went to Station WSAI and broadcast his speech from its studio.

He then returned to the school and repeated his speech to the audience assembled there. TIDAL WAVE ON WAY To Carry Bulkley To V. S. Senate, Simeon M. Johnson Declares.

Solely his devotion to the truth. The hour had struck for an outspoken man, Disraeli once said, 'The world is wearied of so-called statesmen, whom expediency has degraded into politicians. There is, no wisdom like "Robert Bulkley frankly told his fellow citizens of this great state, that he stood for the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act; for the restoration to the states of the regulation of the liquor question, and that he believed Federal control thereof had- been morally and politically wrong.

The people love a courageous man, and scorn a timid one. With almost one voice -they now acclaim 'Here is the man to lead us In the councils of the So their votes Uke a tidal wave will sweep away all oppo sition to him, and he will surely be the next United States Senator from Ohio." John H. Druffel, Chairman, told the Committee of the excellent cooperation he was receiving from the Cincinnati Chapter of the Crusaders, a national organization committed to the repeal of the Eighteenth Amend ment. This organization, which Is non-partisan, has indorsed Bulkley. BIG GUNS TO BOOM TODAY.

Well, part of It comes from the illegal and oppressive levy that the gang exacts from its office and job holders at the Courthouse 2H per cent from each of them from the scrubwomen, the janitors from the Judges, some of whom -give more than the law allows, and who are violating the laws that they are pledged to uphold in so doing. "And it comes from persons who are interested in illegal practices in this county. It comes from organ ized gambling In county, And 1 have the photographs here to prove it." And Mr. Seasongood held up photographs showing various places in which slot machines are allegedly in operation, and upon which are signs urging a vote for the Republican nominee for Sheriff.

"The present Sheriff hag expressed resentment over the suggestion that there is anything wrong with any of his 24 deputies they are high-minded gentlemen, he has told you. Well, I have here a record of 24 places in 'which this slot machine gambling is in process and everybody knows it except the Sheriff and his 24 deputies." Places And Dates Cited. Seasongood listed the places and dates on which the slot machines were observed in them, as follows: Monday, October 6, Salem Road and Ohio Pike; October 7, Cherry Grove Filling Station, at Cherry Grove, on Ohio Pike; Rugg's Barbecue, Cole-rain and Pike and Compton Road; soft drink and chicken dinner place at Colerain Pike and Blue Rock; October 8, Main Restaurant, Vine and Lombardy, Elmwood; cigar store on Vine, near Lombardy; new Main I CaHe, -Vine and Township Avenue, October 9, Aylward and Hay's Pool Room at Lover River Road and Church Street, Addyston; October 10, barbecue stand on Vine Street, Woodlawn; Phyllis-Marie's Restaurant and soft drink parlor, Mlamitown; Tony's Barbecue, Hamil ton Pike, about one mile north of New Eurlinerton: Rainbow Fruit Drinks and Confectionery, 5904 Vine Elmwood; Bechtold's Canary Inn. on Route 4, beyond Springdale October 13, Shady Rest Inn, Cincin nati-Louisville Pike, Route 50; Sears Barbecue, Miamitown; October 15, Raisch's general store and soft drink place, New Baltimore; October 16, Lacy's Restaurant, Lower River Road, Addyson; Bevls Tavern, Cole-rain Pike and Dry Ridge Road; Stap's Cafe. 6408 Vine Street, Elmwood; October 10, Ruther's Confectionery and General Store, Spring-dale; White Villa Inn, Winton Road, about 214 miles beyond Mount Healthy; October 15, soft drink and pool room place at Cooper Road and Montgomery Road.

He spoke specifically of a number of the painted "For Sheriff" signs bearing the notation: "Issued by New O. K. N. Jos. Reichert, Secy." Mr.

Seasongood then proceeded to recite the record of the New O. K. Novelty Company, which maintains a warehouse at 1217 Sycamore Street, where, he said, some 200 coin slot machines are stored. This company, he said, was a defendant in a suit filed August 22, 1929. in which one of the three partners sought to obtain a division of funds.

The case was heard before Judge Thomas H. Morrow. Mr. Seasongood, reading from the testimony, called attention to the fact that it was stated in the testimony that, while the original capital of the company had only been $1,000, each of the three partners had drawn something like $7,000 a year profit; and that the defense was that the business had its hazards, and these hazards were changes of administration and raids upon the slot machines, resulting in their confiscation; that a special reserve fund had to be maintained against changes of administration. "Is it any wonder, then, that these people want the present crowd to remain on office that they want the present Sheriff promoted to County Commissioner and the candidate he to-date structures, and which, with the completion of the program now authorized, will compare favorably with any In the country? Does he compare the policy of the Board of Education, who have for many years had a scientific and ably supervised budget, permitting no unnecessary expenditures, limiting the number of teachers employed probably to greater extent than was wise, In order to keep down the necessary tax levy, with the policy of the county officials whose aim seemed to be to conduct the business of the county in a way to provide jobs for political lawyers at an unnecessary expense to the taxpayers, which conservatively estimate at $250,000 per year?

Robert Heuck, Citizens candidate for County Auditor, in an address last night at a meeting at the North College Hill Public School, charged that he had been "double-crossed" by Fred Schneller, Republican Central Committee Chairman, following his election as County Recorder. "The photostat bill, which I spon sored in order to better my office and save Hamilton County taxpayers money, was defeated by the Hamil ton County legislative delegation by political trickery, for patronage pur poses," he said. "Fred Schneller told me that if I went to Columbus at an appointed time he would see that the bill was put through.

I was told to see a certain Legislator. When reached Columbus I found I had been a victim of the double-cross. The In tervening days had been used to bury the bill in committee. I was told it would not be brought out, because it had no chance of passage. I tele phoned to Schneller and he promised to talk to the Committee Chairman, but he did not.

I was told the inside story of the whole thing later by cer tain Legislators and newspaper men, "Later, after a fight, we succeeded in having the photostat bill passed.

"As an example," Mr. Levi continued, "the expense of operating the Courthouse and jail last year was $270,531.72.
