JOHN THOMAS GIVES 1T TO THE
MCARTYITES,
He Puts Al Eynon on the Executive
Committee in Spite of Judge Faw-
cett's Protest-The New Com

Committee in Spite of Judge Faw-
cett's Protest-The New Com
mittee Named.
All that great talk of harmony and fin,
feeling in the Republican ranks and tina
loud claim that the Thumasitcs and Nc
Cartyites had pooled issues, must have
been largely wind The McCarty mer
went into the Republican central com
mittee meeting and Judge Fawcett held
aloft flag Of truce, which was seconded
by Mr.. McCarty's warmest manager, Mr.
George Clark. At the previous confer
ence Judge Fawcett had insisted that II
was his desire as well as that of Mr.. Nc
Carly, that II Thomas were elected chair
man, he should keep AL Eynon off the
executive committee. When the truce
was decided upon, the McCarty men, who
got hard throw, got up consolation by
asserting that it was oil in the interest Of
harmony, that they were carrying out
Major McKinley's wishes in the matter,
and that Mr. Thomas was tied with all
sorts of promises to give the McCarty
wing, then in a state of clip, a representa-
tion on the executive committee. Some
well-intentioned friends of Mr.. MoCarty
actually believed that Mr.. Thomas would
make up his executive committee largely
from the ranks of the McCarty following.
But he didn't. Mr.. Thomas has decided
fc icV,f ubniv
ingly McCartic. In the first place, Judge
Fawcett isn't on 1t. Then Lawrence
Stohrer of Mnssllon, cannot be found in
the list of advisers of the new chairman
and even If he were on the committee,
there would be no one to second his mo-
tions, for in a queer streak Of unappreci-
ativeness, Chairman Thomas didn't ap-
point the late Mr.. McCartys late mana
ger de facto, George Clark. But he did ap-
point Al Eynon, and it is understood that
he didn't send word to Judge Fawcett
that he was going to do it, either. No one
will hear the Judge complain about 1t,
though. He isn't going to bump up
against Mr. Thomas again If he can help
it. He hasn't forgotten what Major Nc
Kinley said about the last time he did it,
and he is now acting in the capacity OF
burnt child, carrying about his person
the accompanying dread of fire. The
judge has also made his peace, or attempt
ed to, with Eynon. Said he to Eynon a
day or two ago:
"Al, that News Democrat paper Is try
ing TO get fight between you and me,
knowing that such a thing would ruin
the Republican party in Stark county for
hundred years or more, but we amt GO
ing to fight, are WEI Now, they said the
other day that had opposed you in that
conference in Judge Days office, and had
said that l would withdraw McCarty If
Thomas would promise not to put you on
the committee. That News Democrat is
a bad wicked paper, and just wants to
get up disturbance between us. didn't
say anything mean about you, Allie;
honest 1 didn't, and you won't believe
all them lies, will youy'
OF course Eynon knew first rate what
happened in Judge Days office that day,
and knew that Judge Fswcett had de-
clared that Eynon shouldn't go on the ex-
ecutiye committee, because he had read
all the details Of the meeting in the News
Democrat, but the judges manner was so
pitifully apologetic that his heart melt
ed, and he responded: "No, iudgie, don't
believe you ever said anything about me
at all"
"Of course didn't" said the Judge,
Frightening up, as it dawned upon him
that maybe he could fool Eynon yet. |
'The fact is, =" and the judge became very
confidential the fact is, Allie" he re-
iterated, II am the only, original Eynon
man." So the pair parted, the judge
feeling good because he had joshed Eynon, |
and Eynon feeling good because he
hadn't.
In his selection of a cabinet, Mr.. |
Thomas has not recognized the McCarty |
following at all, that is, admitting that |
Mr.. McCarty had following in his late
canvass for chairman. The Canton men,
bers of the committee are Judge W. r.
Day, Judge George f.. Baldwin, Henry
W. Harter,W. C. Weirick, and AL Eynon.
The other members are Senator 5. j. Will
liams and B. f. Trescott, Alliance; W. S.
Earsman, Louisville; ]. Frank Werner,
Marlboro; Frank J. Williams, Waynes-
burg; Frank Sohiltz, New Berlin; John
p. Jones, North Lawrence; Robert Kay
and W. F. Kicks, Of Massillon. these
are all Thomas men, and are in close
touch with the Mute Smellers, an organi-
zation within the Republican ranks that
has as its prerogative, the management
of campaign managers. Joe Reed is
treasurer of the new committee, and a
secretary will be selected later.
