There are always q lot of good Offices to
I'LL and II Ia really remarkable how many
good Democrats there nre to fill them.
1t Ia this condition Of things that makes
Democratic convention Of unusual i'm
terest. There are so many candidates,
all worthy OF the honors, that II Is with
great difficulty that delegate makes up
his mind which one OF the excellent can
didates he will support. The Democrats
always do their fighting before the nomi,
nation and some times the contest gets
pretty warm, at other times IL gets warmer
and there ore times when IL gets hotter
than that yet. The Democratic primaries
were held Saturday and since that time
those people who were elected delegates
have been figuring out how they would
vote. Before the convention met Tues
day forenoon there were groups OF dele-
gates standing on the streets,
particularly In font of the
court house and on the public
square, and candidates circulated freely
among them. There was no great
amount Of loud talk, but everything was
subdued and orderly. The merits Of the
various candidates were freely discussed.
A Republican or two would get into the
crowd and smile serenely to himself, to
tbink that the Democrats were having a
tilt among themselves, but he wac in
error. As one old Republican who had
been through the mill, remarked: "Fhese
Democrats may be contesting with them
selves today, and any one not acquainted
with them would think that they would
never get together again, but just when
we think we've got them, they have the
mont exasperating way of getting together
and beating us like thunder, that you ever
heard Of"
Before the convention opened delegates
and others interested were oil at sea.
Massillon people arrived early and nearly
all we're ardent supporters Of Otto K.
Young for Probate Judge. Some had
preferences foN other offices and some
hadn't. Alliance came over solid for
Weybrecht and Scanlon, while on other
candidates they were non committAl. II
was the same with Canton delegates.
They had one or two particular candi-
dates and after that they did not seem to
be much enthused, knowing that no mis-
take could be made as all the candidates
were first class men.
The scene in front of the court house
was not an unusual one but it was an ami.
mated one. Everybody was pouring
something entirely new and original in
the ear Of everybody else. There was not
schndidate for any office who was not
out doing little legitimate circulating
and buttonholeing. Temporary Chairman
Alexander could not be found but he had
ample reasons. He was making up his
committees and getting everything ready
for the opening 40 that there would be nc
bitch IA the arrangements and no tedious
waits.
At 10:30 o'clock the delegations CONS
mencsd to file in. They came singly, in
All were In their seats when Ed. j. Mack
chairman of the Democratic central com'
mittee called the convention to order
