he is good man is well demonstrated by tn,
fact that for six times the people of Cana
Fulton have called him to the highest ofIlc,
within their gift For many years he has had
an ambition to go to the legislature. Hi
sympathies have always been with the masse,
and against the classes II the people Of
Stark county send him to Columbus he will
not be found on the side of the corporation
sharks, voting against two cent fare as his re-
publican opponent Geo. w. Wilhelm was in
the Legislature Of 1887 Let the people OF
stark county bear this in mind when they
come to vote, that Geo. W. Wilhelm, Mr.. Nc
Cadden's opponent, voted against the two
cent railroad bill in 1888.
Hon. X. G.. Williams, Of Alliance, is the
other democratic candidate for representative
in Stark county. Mr.. Williams is an old time
demtcrat and has fought valiently for the
Democraticparty. Several years ago he repre-
sented Stark county in the legislature and
made good public servant. His record Is un-
assaiable. In 1893 Mr. Williams was a candi.
date on the democratic ticket for state senator
in this district but was defeated by Senator
Eckley, Of Carrollton, the districtbeing largely
Republican. He always discharges his duties
impartially and conscentiously and ne is a
man of wide experience and broad views. He
is bold and courageous and If elected he will
fill the position with credit to himself and his
party.
| Nearly everybody In the county knows
Amos b. Mase, the democratic candidate
for sheriff. He lives at Navarro, and for
many years he has bought wool from the
farmers In Stark county Mr.. Mase was
candidate for the nomination in 1893.
but was defeated by VIM. A. Gentry,
He accepted his defeat gracefully and inn
medlately went to work for the ticket.
He was loyal to his party, and the vote of
Mr.. Gentry shows 1t. Mr. Gentry was
defeated because the whole ticket went
down by majorities ranging from 700 to
l,400, but he enjoyed the satisfaction of
running ahead Of his ticket. That was
the year that the panic struck the coun.
try, and the democrats suffered reverses
all over the country. Mr.. Mase is man
of the highest integrity and against his
character either as citizen or merchant the
tongue OF scandal cannot wag. MI. Mase
Is exceedingly popular with the miner
and will poll large vote fIom the mining
regions
Charles l.. Oberly, the present compe-
tent deputy, Is the democratic candidate
for county clerk. He is genial, courte-
Gus and obliging gentleman and nobody
can better testify to this fact than the
members of the Stark county bar. There
Is not blemlsh upon his reputation and
his private character is as white as the
driven snow. During the six years that
he has been deputy under Clerk Coxen he
has made hosts of friends throughout the
county. Every man who has done any
business in the clerks office will surely
vote for him unless he Is stepped in polit-
ical prejudice. His republican opponent
lives In Alliance and as Alliance has had
the olerkship for the last six years, Can
tOnians regardless of party affiliations,
will cast their vote for Mr.. Oberly, No
mistake can possibly be made by the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Oberly to the clerks office.
Herman W. Loeffler, Of Masslllon, is
the democratic candidate for county treas
urer.
Mr.. Loeffler is one Of the trustees of the
Stark county work house and although
there is no salary connected with the
office, yet he devotes considerable of his
time to looking after the institution. He
Is clean cut and aggressive man and a
man of unainching courage, and un-
doubted integrity. He has never been
elected to any political office. He is un-
welded to any clan or clique in Stark
county politics, and is unmarried by any
of the deep wounds of local political
combat. He is staunch, loyal and un-
compromising democrat, and will not
only get the united vote of his party but
many from the other side.
Captain Clutz is the democratic candi-
date for commissioner. Mr. Clutz Is
only asking what every other candidate
asks when he has made good office-a
second term. He went down in the re.
publican tidal wave last year and he now
asks to be elected to that office that he so
much deserved then. The people of Stark
county should remember that there are
now two republicans on the board of COM
missioners and If Mr.. Clutz is defeated,
the board will be republican. The demo-
Gratis Vf this county should have some rep
resentation the board. 1t is much better
for the public veal that the county off,
GERS are divided In politics. Mr.. Clutz Is
thoroughly competent, strictly honest,
and man VINO would not knowingly
lend himself to any scheme to plunder
the city. For the above reasons Mr.. Clutz
should receive the vote of every democrat
and many republicans.
Louis A. Loichot is the democratic
candidate for auditor A more competent
auditor than Mr.. Loiohot has not filed
the Office in generation. He Is an ex-
pert accountant and he not only keeps the
auditors Office straight, but he also keeps
the commissioners and treasurer's office
free from any entanglements. Many
years ago he served as councilman from
the fifth ward. At the time of his cleo
tion he was the youngest member of the
body. Upon the death of Daniel Worley,
he became president of the council and
he filed this position for two years.
Whenever he has been candidate for any
office, he has always run ahead of his
ticket. He is one of the most popular
young men in the county.
In all his political fights he was the
only candidate against whom the shafts
of partisan malice were not ventured.
Michael A. Miller, of Osnaburg town
ship, is the democratic candidate for in
flrmary director. Mr.. Miller is an old
pioneer in Stark county He has filed
various local offices in Osnaburg township.
He is farmer by occupation What has
been said about the democrats having no
representation on the board of commits.
sioners is equally true of tie boaId of In
firmary directors. The only democrat on
the board now is William Schaffer, whose
term expires. II Mr.. Miller is defeated
the board will be solidly republican
Stark county voters should bear this in
mind.
