COXEY OLD BOY
Again at Republican Headquarters-
He is Working Hard

Against the Democratic Party and
Trying to Deliver the Popuiist Vote
o yer to the Repubiicans-A Shame

Will Resent Being Sold Ont.
Columbus, o., Oct. 2S--Jacob s. Coxey,
populist candidate for governor, is reported on
good authority to be getting ready to deliver
the populist vote to the republicans Mr.. Coxey
slipped into this city last night and took a
room at the Neil, where he was in ex.
cathedra consultation with Chairman Kurt2
nearly all night. II is g known fact that he
is travelling only in democratic districts and
he claims that the populist vote will be 100, 0Ot
this year and that rs per cent of this vote will
come from the democratic party.
Coxey, however, is very likely to be disap
pointed. Since his connection with the 70
pubIicana has become known thousands o.
good, honest populists see that Coxcy is trying
to make fools Of them and they will refuse u
be made tools Of in any such manner

1t is an old saying, to find out about a
man, 90 to his home, where he is well
known. Where Amos b. Mase was born
and raised and where he has lived he Is
respected and praised for his many noble
qualities. He was three times treasurer
of Bethlehem township. and was school
director In thai township from the time he
was 81 years of age up to the time he was
elected treasurer. This serves to show
how Mr.. Mase is regarded at home.
Amos b. Mase is In every way well
qualified for the Office of sheriff. He is a
sterling democrat, and has always worked
for the democratic party. He has every
qualification for the Office he seeks. HI
stands near to the people and should re-
oeive the vote or not only every demo
orat but of every man In Stark county
who desires to see AN efficient man in the
sheriff's office.

THE NovEMpER FORuM


The leading article in the November number
Of The Forum will be a discussion Of the third
term question by Professor John Bach Nc
Master, the historian, entitled The Third
Tradition" Mr.. McMaster cites the we'll
known historical precedents against q presi.
Dental third term, and thinks there is no
reason to believe that the old-time antipathy
to third term is one whit less strong than 1t
ever was. Mr.. McMaster says that while our
practice Of choosing presidents, not because Of
their fitness, but because of their availability,
Is in theory all wrong, in practice no harm
comes from II; for under our form of govern
ment we do not need a president Of extraordi-
nary ability, the average man is good enough,
and for him two terms Is ample. What we
want, in Mr.. McMaster's opinion, is a strong
government of the people by the people, not n
government of the people by strong man, and
we ought not to tolerate anything which has
even the semblance of heredity. Mr.. McMas-
ter counsels the advocates of a third term for
Mr.. Cleveland to remember the doctrine Of

Large and Enthusiastic Audiences.
The large, and commodious school
honse at Greentown was packed Tuesday
night to hear some sound democratic doc
trine preached by eloquent orators The
speakers of the evening were Peter j..
Collins and Charles Kreighbaum. Mr..
Collins spoke! principally Of state and
county Issues. He warmed up to the
occasion. and made..a fiery and interesting
speech.
Mr.. Kreighbaum dwelt on the folly OF
Coxeyism, populism, socialism, and all
the other isms which hang like mill
stone around the neck of the peoples
party. He showed by election statistics
that practically the whole of Coxey's vote
last year came from the democratic party.
Last year Greentown was a hOt-bed OF
Coxeyism. Coxey ran .sfar ahead Of his
ticket, and the populist ticket had more
votes than the democratic ticket in the
precinct. We have reliable information
from men who have maze q careful can
yass that Coxey this year will not have
