WHAT BsAr US IN STARK COUNTY.


Whatever influences may have pre-
vailed against the Democratic party in
other sections of our beloved land, the
Populist movement defeated the Dam-
ocratic county ticket in Stark county.
And who led the Populist party, and
stumped this county in its bohalf2
Allen Cook. Z I
And who is Allen Cook? "a
He is the same gentleman, who arose in
hecounty convention of Stark county,
in 1892, and protested against this
county sending delegates to Columbus
in favor of David B. Hill and against
Grover Cleveland, When Cleveland
was nominated Allen Cook was the hi
larious gentleman, who went around
and took up a collection to purchase
fireworks to celebrate Cleveland's nom.
ination. ... -.-.-..--
And he was one of the Ioudest ora
tors of the celebration. .....,'...
Then why did Allen Cook de-
sert Cleveland, and 60 over this
county, in the campaign, just closed,
and hold up Grover Cleveland to scorn
as the ally of Wall Street and enemy Of
the common people? ..
He claims he left the Democratic
party on account of Clevelaud's atti-
tude on silver.
Now the Republican party is the
gold-bug party, and is the recognized
servant of the money power $50 called
and McKinley's victory is victory for
John Sherman, who led the Senate in
the repeal of his own silver law,
The question is, therefore, what has
Mr.. Cook and his Populist party ac-
complished for the silver cause
by aiding the Mckinley boom, and by
the defeat of the Democratic county
ticket?
The PJpullsts are terribly opposed to
bankers, and yet they have aided in
the election of rich banker for Pro-
bate Judge Of Stark Co.
They also claim to be in favor of ad-
vancing the interests of laboring men,
And yet they have defeated Mr.. Gentry
for Sheriff, who is a typical laboring
man, and have elected Mr., Doll, who is
not laboring man, but a capitalist,
who lives upon the earnings of acquir-
ed wealth.
4 OF course this is a free country,
and every mans ballot is his
own exclusive gift, but would
it not have bGen better and fairer and
truer, if the members of the Populist
party of Stark county, who claim to be
the true friends of the laboring man
and greater industrial freedom, had
used their ballots so as to benefit, and
not injI their own class and kindred.

1t is uselessfor any intelligent man to
to try and dehythat American manu-
facturers, underline fostering care of a
protective tariff, have made an enorm-
Gus lot of money. THERE'S no desire on
the part of the general public to curtail
these profits to a ruinous extent; what
is wanted Is a more equitable distribu-
tion; for the benefit of wRge-workers
and consumers, and, when this point is
reached, the meddlesome occupation of
the tariff-tinker will cease. He will be
completely disarmed, and manufactur-
ng business will no longer be at the
mercy of conscienceless demagogues,
Upon this point all intelligent friends
of protection ought to be able to agree,
and now is the time for coming to
thorough understandingand permanent
conclusion to this effect.-Philadelphia

LINCOLN, Neb., OcG7.-[SpeciAl.l- The
state election in Nebraska today was for
judge OF supreme court and Regents of
State University, At midnight the con-
test in this state seems to be between the
Populists and Republicans. The Demo-
cratic vote in the state is very small. The
Populists claim the state, but the Repub-
IicanG do not give 1t up.

THE result in stark county shows
two things very clearly, First, the Re
publiosns have not materially increased
their vote in this county since last year;
and, second, the Populist vote has come
entirely out of the Democratic vote. At
this writing, is estimated at 1000 in
the county.

THEY WHISTLE AND WAIT FOR
MONEY.
George Ross Gives the POrtu-
9uese Team a Song
and Dance.

Somewhere along in 1892 a tug
of-war contest was given at the
Armory in this city. 1t was given
for the purpose of pulling an ath-
letic club out of a big hole," and,
according to all accounts, the
happy result was attained.
It was said at the time that no
less than 800 and steen dollars
was cleared, and that fact caused
number Of local spectators to
stop and think.
They reasoned in this way: If
the athletic club can clear whole
lot of money by furnishing a Jim
Crow show to the people, why can't
we. One of the financial students
was a young man named George
Ross. George, although a minor,
has been drawing an adult salary
for some time from the Govern
ment. He is employed in the In
terror office, and his principal duty
is to wait until four minutes of four
o'clock, when it is time to quit
work.
Although George receives fair
salary from this good natured Gov
eminent, it seems that he was not
satisfied with the same and his
ambition was to fill his purse from
outside sources. A man like
George, who has wine appetite
with beer income, could not re-
main stationary for any length of
time, so he decided to give a tug
of-war contest in order to increase
his income.
Acting on the inspiration he i'm
mediately hired the Armory on
Beretania street, and the next day
or the day after he started out to
find enough men to form four
teams which would pull under ma
tional titles. As result of his hust-
ling he signed four teams-Hawaii,
Portugal, England and America.
He then made arrangements for the
public to view his mighty show and
on the opening night he had enough
money in to buy half of the plat
form on which the men pulled and
glass of soda.
In the meantime he promised the
winners a purse of 1926 in coin
and the second best men were to
get $50 for their labors.
According to a statement made
by captain of one of the teams,
each man was to receive two dol
lars per night for appearing before
a Honolulu audience.
1t is understood that of the total
receipts the German team received
$50, the Hawaiians $25, the Aus
tralia team got $25 for their one
nights work, and the sons of Por-
tugal received $45. The sums
mentioned were outside of the prize
money, and each team did their
best to capture the first prize of
1925. 1t finally fell to the Portu-
guese team, and they were elated
in consequence. The second prize
of $50 went to the Hawaiians. But
up to date neither team have re-
ceived their money, although Ross,
the embryo manager" has been
seen several times. He usually
gives the captains of the teams a
song and dance, and tells them
they will get their money in the
sweet mahope," Or words to that
effect.
Although the contest has been
over for about two weeks, the
prizes have not been paid, and it
looks now as though Mr.. Ross
would have law suit on his
hands.
