shortly after the Democratic conVeh'
dlon the Republican oandldatebtor the
county olllcea became thicker Than mes
Mn summer time and each day brought
out new names as candidates for once,
o. Il. Shanafelt, OF GreentOwn, was
brought out by Trlckater julie Whiting
and the machine for sheriff. Hard work
was done 10 give the impression that
Shanafelt was the choice OF the Repub-
lIoan masaes but II didn't work.
AS the outgr0wth OF discomfort over
the actions OF the machine
Ex. Councilman Charles Henderson
of the sixth ward, foreman ~
the Canton Glase works, announced ms
name. Pressure was brought TO Dear
against him 10 have him withdraw peJ
IL was unavaillng,
Then the machine WAS put 10 work
with Whiting at the head, as one per
fectly fitted TO do the dirty work eN'
pected. The result waB, that IN u very
short time Henderson was Dadly spat'
tered with slime such 40 one OF Tue
leader0' callbre could prodace.
Az this llenderson's friends, VINO nle
many, have sworn yengenee upon the
leader and threaten 10 make thls aPer'
sonal fight. They are. fortified With
such facts aa would not paint Whiting
In very fine ool0rs.
with the machine set against Hen
derson the report came that u Navarro
ite had designs upon the nomination
fOraherif. He was man wen liked
and with some means. ~ did not take
much work to steer him of the track.
But his friends are very sore.
The machine now thought oil was
serene and that Shanafelt could be pul.
lee through even N Henderson would
not withdraw, when very startling news
was received The news was That ex'
Commissioners Frank Millhof OF Mas
sIllon had announced mis- name as u
candidate for the sherlit's Office,
There was CONSERVATION In the camp
when this report was verified aud none
could suggest the move 10 be made.
Finally Il was decided 10 have com
mitteo wait upon Mr.. Millhof and ask
him TO withdraw. .,.
The visit was made but Mr., Millhof
was not In the mood for withdrawing
and so gave his answer In very emphat'
10 tones Learning OF tho unproduc'
tiyeness OF the visit, Jule, the leader,
was instructed to set his mud batteries
TO work. This he did, AS birds of u
feather flock together he soon had the
Evening Repository with him.
The Rep is an old hand at libeling
people and In Millhof's case they worked
To perfection In that line, not openly
but on the quiet But Millhof kept his
notice standing and Is going In 10 win.
When the Rep learned this they look
cd envlously upon the small sum re-
oeiyed by other papers for Mr.. Millhofa
announcement. The manager Of that
paper called upon Mr. Millhof aud sug'
gested TO him the propriety OF placing
an appropriate announcement In his
paper,
Then onsued q spirited conversation
principally one sided, the talker being
MIR. Mlllhof. He excitedly Informed
the Rep. managr that he knew OF its
dastardly work aud wanted the paper u
lot his name alone.
al don't want the assistance of your
dirty, unsorupulouB Sheet said he
0The Republicans of Stark county
know you all. will show you that
can be- nominated without the aid OF
your sheet" ...
Az this II Ia said the Rep. manager
cringed 30 as To- excite Mr.. Millhof 70
such n pitch Of loathinR, as TO prompt
him TO push the door shut, leaving the
Rep. manager out in the cold, pitiless
world,
It's n row sure enough and the re-
spectacle Republicans throughout the
county will see II they cannot rebuke
such work.
