at all Interesting.
The Republican county convention for
the naming OF delegates to the state con-
vention was held in the assembly room
at the city hall today. Chairman Allen
Carnes called the convention to order at
1915 O'Clock.
In opening the convention Chairman
Carnes gave notice that scheme had
been suggested to defraud certain sec
tions for representation on the state dele
cation. "If you allow any schemes to be
worked to defrfaud you Of your proper
representation, said he, "it Is your own
fault" He said he was sorry that a
spirit of faction and controversy had
taken such hold on other counties and
cracked the joke that he was glad to know
that there was $50 little of 1t in Stark
county" Continu he said "If the
nonsense and tomfoolery in Republican
politics in every county and in Stark
county we're eliminated the state would
be safely Republican in November"
Judge Baldwin moved that Judge II.
A. Wise be made chairman of the con-
yention and he was chosen. III assum-
ing the chair Judge Wise expressed his
gratitude for the selection and stated
that he desired to be fair and equitable
in the trust imposed in him. He called
attention to the Importance of the Re-
publican state convention and briefly re-
ferred to the war now in progress.
Judge Wise thought the large crowd
present was due to the Republican
enthusiasm, thus overlooking the scrap
on hand.
John Ellis of Massillon was chosen
secretary on motion Of ]. A. Welker.
S. A. Conrad moved that the roll be
called and absentees noted. This was
done.
1t was observed during the roll call
that in several of the precincts in Can
ton no returns had been made, no dele
gates having been elected.
W. J. Oby moved that delegations be
filed In precincts where they were
absent and that in those precincts where
none were elected the vacancies remain
as they are. This carried and the delega-
tions were filed.
In filling the delegations the game that
the administration people were playing
became apparent. One delegate arose
and secured decision that any Republi-
can might represent precinct. When |
the list was completed 1t was found that |
W. H. Rowlen and J. ]. Grant nad |
temporarily taken up an abode in Paris |
township. To get even, Joe Reed was
put in to represent Plain township.
TO NAME DELEGATES.
Judge Fawcett moved that COM
mite of five be named by the chair to
name delegates. On motion of Allen |
Carnes the committee was increased to |
seven. The chair named J. P. Fawcett,
Allen Carnes, W. II. Harris, H. Beatty L. |
n. Pennock, W. S, Earsman and L. E.
Smith and these gntlemen retired to
agree on list.
Judge aldwin, o. G. Volkmore and |
Judge Mong were appointed as a COM
mittee on resolutions.
The prospect for scrap was eliminated |
by this time. 1t was apparent that there
would be one set of delegates and that it |
would be an administration set entirely.
