Warren and Erie counties clash over statesman claim
The Erie Graphic is blamed for underrating Warren County Republicans while praising Erie county men. The dispute centers on who constitutes a true statesman, with names like Brainard, Watson, Scofield, and Curtis invoked to contrast Warren’s claimed political talent against Erie’s. The argument questions whether Erie has produced more capable leaders than Warren in recent years.
