WHY NOT CAMPBELL?

Elk Governor James +. Campbell ex-
presses his willingness to accept the
Democratic nomination for President.
He is self-made man in the popular
acceptation of the term. He started outin
the hard battle of life without friends or
fortuitous circumstances to strew roses in
his pathway. He volunteered in the
Navy during the rebellion as a private.
He had no political friends to hasten his
promotion, but he served throughout
the war with unusual credit. He was
seriously wounded and the close of the
war left him still suffering from wounds,
and he was granted pensions but in a
few years he entirely recovered his
health when he voluntarily surrendered
his pension and had his name stricken
from the pension roll He has been the
special objective point of a partisan
gerrymander by hostile legislature, but
he overcame a Republican majority of
800 in his new congressional district
In the event of McKinley's nomina-
ton by Republicans, Ohio Democrats
will prefer Campbell to anyone else. His
victory for law and honest local govern
ment few years ago when he unhorsed
the Democratic boodlers of Cincinnati,
made his name immortal and today it is
a household word in every Democratic
family in Ohio. CampbelPs nomination
will prevent the Republicans from carry.
ing many of the close counties in the
State. With Campbell, as the candidate,
we can wage hopeful battle in Stark
county, and elect the greater part of our
county ticket. For this reason Stark
county Democrats should be for him.
The National Democratic convention
could do a much worse thing than nomi,
nate James f.. Campbell.

THE REAL OBJECT OF THE MASS
CONVENTION.

The present fight in Stark county is
for clean politics and honest methods.
This is the real object of the mass con-
vention of Democrats to be held on June
g. 1t is fight against ten or a dozen
men who dominate the Central com
mittee, and these men, seeing that they
are beaten, that this great uprising of
the Democrats from one end of the
county to the other, will simply over
whelm them, are trying to make it appear
that it is fight on the money question.
Nothing can be further from the truth.
The appointments of McGregor and
Borrower on the board of elections is a
victory for the News-Democrat, but this
does not end the battle. The fight for
clean politics will still go on until it is
finally accomplished. There may be
some difference Of opinion among the
Democrats on the money question, but
all are agreed that clean politics will be
the main question before the mass con.
vention.

PARTY DIVIDED.
The Narrow Gauge PrOhibitionists
Predominant in Stark County
Party Declarations.

The Beaoon,a broad-gauge Prohibition
organ, has been received in Canton, and it
contains the complete platform of the
Broad Gauge or National branch of the
Prohibition party, which is in state Of
split. The Broad Gauge covers numerous
national questions. Its first plank refers
to the liquor trade and calls for its sup
preston. The second plank is for suffrage
Of both sexes. The third plank calls for
the issue Of money by the general govern
ment only and declares for free silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1. The initiative and
referendum is endorsed free land is de-
clared to belong to the people.apd not. the
corporations, and the railroads and tele
graph lines should be owned by the gov
ernment, according to the platform.
Tariff for revenue only is declared for
and convict labor is condemned. A
clause declares against sectarian schools
receiving public monies, and another says
the president and vioe-president of The
United States should be elected by a
direct vote of the people. Liberal pensions
are called for; revision of the immigra-
ton laws, to exclude foreign paupers is
recommended. This platform was adopted
at Pittsburg, and another was also adopt
ed by the Narrow Gauge Prohibitionists.
This contingent is represented in this
section by John Danner, and nearly every
Prohibitionist in the county. The Mar.
row Gauge branch has platform that
touches upon no question but the liquor
traffic, and has nothing to say about
affairs of the nation. The party has be.
come hopelessly divided, and its vote will
fall far short this year, portion of it go.

When the Cuban insurgents can do no

they manufacture homemade cannon
out of native tree of great toughness.
The bore is burnt out with hot crowbars
and the gun tightly wound with green
rawhide cut in strips. A correspondent
relates that in one instance Gen. Gomez
converted an iron pipe, which was part
of the equipment of captured sawmill,
into a cannon, and with it drove the
Spanish troops out of two strongholds
and compelled them to surrender third.
If the Cubans were provided with mod
ern arms in sufficient quantities they
would surely sweep the Spanish troops
from the island in short order. Undoubt-
edly they will do this eventually even
With their improvised weapons The de.

bows and arrows, sticks and stones and
other handy missiles. And the barbar-
ians lacked the inspiration born of patri-
otism and just cause.

THE POLITICAL wREcKERs .dUsT
GO.

The coming political battle in Stark
county between the great mass of Demo
Gratis on the one side and the political
wreckers on the other, will be short,
sharp and decisive. 1t is doubtful if
there will be battle at all. If it shall
come to that point when the combine
must muster their men and face the con-
flict, comparing the two sides in numbers,
will be almost like comparing the ting-
ers of the right hand to the blades of
grass in small lawn.
The Democratic sentiment in Stark
county has risen in its might and with
an emphasis that none can understand
it. Just now the woods are full of in
dignant Democrats, and they are not
confined to Canton alone. Massillon
and Alliance contain their proportionate
share. Canal Fulton protests in no
uncertain language. Thirty-six repre-
sentative Democrats from that COM
munity have already signed the call for
mass convention. Paris and Sandy
townships resent the action of the Cen
trail committee in the same manner as
they do in Fulton. In every township
there are muttering thunders against
the political wreckers who have done
naught else but to mortify and harass
the party since they have been in con-
troll.
1t is now an open secret that the cabal
of Central committeeman, which have
INDUCED in so much mean trickery,
petty intrigue and degrading chicanery,
were getting ready to appoint them.
selves again for another year, and
where committeeman refused to abid e
by their party-smashing methods by not
making any appointment, a vacancy
was to be declared and his successor to
be appointed by the cabal. BY these
tactics they intended to perpetuate
themselves in power year after year un-
til the end of the century.
But the wreckers miscalculated one
important thing. They forgot that the
patience of an honest Democracy would
eventually become exhausted. They
had on previous occasions thrust dow n
the throats Of honest Democrats nomi.
nations that were .worm-wood and gall
to them. They had heaped upon their
heads outrage after outrage, and the
honest Democrats of the county would
still be loyal to the party and its cause
lest they might be stigmatized as boilers
But when they turned down an old
veteran and uncompromising Demo
Gratis like Archibald McGregor for mar
of doubtful Democracy, they precipitat
ed upon themselves conflict that viii

consigned to the infamy they SO justly

tariff, and because the schedules in the
great cottonand iron and steel industries
were not easily assaled.
But even the outcry over foreign wool
EN- goods was unfounded, and with the
Republican national convention still
three weeks away, the organs and Nc
Kinley managers find themselves face to
face with facts that do not admit of ex-
planation on their hypothesis that the
Wilson tariff law is ruling the country.
The imports of woolens began to decline
as long ago as last January. It began to
be plain, even then, that the highest
point had been reached, and that the
course of trade was returning to its nor.
NAL level, but the Mckinley shouters
shut their eyes and opened their mouths,
and today they are met by figures from
the treasury department that are calcu-
lated 70 reverse those striking features of
facial expression. At all events, If the
facts do not close their mouths, they
will certainly open the eyes of many of
their dupes.
The monthly summary of finance and
commerce, just issued, shows that the
total importation of manufacturers of
wool for the month of March was only
So, 1929, ,2l4, against "a, ,5S1, 1S0 for March,
1895. The importations of woolen goods
for February Of this year amounted to
s5,352, 2,410, against 1924 1903 for the
same month the previous year. In Jan.
uary, 1895, the figures were $6,2S9,0
against 1881 ,692 for January, 1895
Thus it will be seen that the importa.
tions of woolens fell from So, ,2S9,03 in
January to only s3,929,2lt in March
while the importations for January
even, were less than those of January
1895, by more than million dollars,
1t is with such facts as these that thu
supporters of Mckinley must deal from
now on, and it will avail very little t.
deal with them by Misrepresentation, a
they have done thus far. Every trad,
and manufacturing journal, every indie
pendent and every Democratic news
paper is certain to present the facts t,
the public, and more than one Republi
can newspaper, seeing the NANTES
danger of carrying matters too far, a
well as shrewd Republican leaders lik
Platt of New York, will sound notes o
warning against the blind madness O
attempting to maintain the high tarii

THE DEMOCRATIZATION OF ENG
LAND.

Progress in social life is proportional
to the number of persons whose claim to
be considered ends in themselves, and to
share in all the fruits of civilization, is
acknowledged and furthered by each
member of society; progress in political
life to the number whose claim is sup
ported by the State, and the former pro-
gress is the condition of the latter. 1t
follows that Democracy, in which the
claims of all to the dignity and inheri-
tance of humanity are sustained, is the
perfect form of political lite-the ideal
after which it must continually strive,
1t is, accordingly, an encouraging thing
to observe that all the civilized nations
are, today, each in its own way, more or
less consciously struggling toward this
ideal. In no country is this struggle
which, for the most part, takes the form
of an endeavor to elevate and enfran-
chise the great "toiling masses"-more
obvious, more conscious, or more in
teresting than in England, so recently
the stronghold of aristocratic exclusive,
ness. To persons who remember what
England was thirty, or even twenty
years ago, her present attitude seems to
imply sudden and complete trans
formation. And transformation there
has, indeed, been; but it ihas by nc
means been so sudden as it looks on the
surface. 1t is the result of forces that
have been silently working for long
time, and which are now rapidly com
bining toward pretty definite result
forces ethical, economical, religious, and
even philosophical, all of them finding
their expression in literature. Prof
Thomas Davidson, in the June Forum.

located in st. Louis previous to the
tornado, but are now located all over the

away the tents about an hour after the
performance had ended, so there was no
accompanyingsloss of life. The Canton
young men were in their hotel, which was
in the path Of the storm, but which did
not utterly collapse The widows Of
the hotel were blown in, the shutters
blown away, and part of the building
unroofed but no lives were lost in the

FALLING OFF IN IMPORTS.

The Republican press Of the country
started in for the campaign with an out
cry against the importation of foreign
goods, which, is was claimed, was food
ing our markets and stopping our mills.
The Mckinley managers counted upon
the effect of this claim, and worked up q
Mckinley high tariff sentiment that was
noisy enough in expression, but largely
artifcial--treated for the special purpose
OF securing McKinley's nomination. The
.outcry was directed against foreign
wooden goods, because there had been o
