Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1899-11-04

City Commissioners into political
machine while holding the Office of
Probate Judge" Any of Judge
Stuart's many warm friends in Sum-
NIT county will cheerfully testify
that this is fact. But what ons of
them has said as much for Judge
Anderson? Mr.. Dobson's paper is
the only authority that has given
Judge Anderson a certificate of nom
interference in the affairs of Akron.
Against the testimony of such prom
inent Republicans as ex-City Com
missioner Jos. Hugill, Senator j.
Park Alexander, chairman of the
Citizens Committee of Fifty, and
many other public spirited members
of the Citizens Committee-all of
whom have insisted upon one oecas-
ion or another that Judge Anderson
has been a dictator-the testimony of
the Dobson paper does not count.
JUDGE ANDERSON seems to imag-
inc that he is the only candidate
upon the Republican county ticket
this fall. The interests of all other
candidates are being sacrificed or
subordinated by tine Judge and the
Dobson paper to give the Judge a
second term. The Republican Or
ganization is being demoralized by
Judge Anderson's selfish trucking
to the friends of Democrat whom
the Judge is trying to retain in office
at all hazards. An official who
makes it a practice to give his own
party only Indifferent support, but
who is constantly trimming in his
official conduct as a means of bid
ding for the support of members of
the opposite party, sooner or later
comes to grief. Indications are that
Judge Anderson is scheduled to be
S helved by his party next Tuesday.
REPUBLICAN, politicians are con-
tinuing the cry that they want Mr..
Mckinley endorsed when it is al
ready certain that he cannot be
endorsed. Even il Judge Nash
should be elected by small plurality
they could not claim it as an endorse
ment of the administration. The
presidential policies are only on trial
in presidential or congressional
years. The claim of Mr.. Hanna's crew
of offlce-seekers that the president is
on trial in every election this year,
whether it be for state or county
officers or road supervisors, is the
last cry in behalf of an expiring and
hopeless cause. If ever despairing
politicians tried to force absurd
and foreign issues upon the people,
it has been done by Mr.. Hanna's
in this campaign.
IT WILL be remembered that in the
last spring, when they felt
themselves losing ground, the friends
Of Mr.. Arthur J. Rowley circulated s
petition asking the Republicans of
Akron to vote for Mr.. Rowley on the
strength that it would be holding
up the hands of President McKin-
Iey." Some of Judge Anderson's
friends are appealing for votes for
the Judge upon the same issue in
this campaign. For fear that they
might have overlooked the fact the
reminds them that Mr..
came within $50 votes of
Akron.
AT ITS Dayton convention last
spring, the League of Ohio Republi-
ian clubs adopted the following
1--WE declare our uncompromising
hostility to trusts and combines and |
,an upon the good people of the |
state, regardless of party, to hold up
the hands of Attorney General Mon
lett in his vigorous efforts to secure
,he enforcement of the law"
Attorney General Monnett got just
one vote in Mr.. Hanna's convention. |
That was the way the ''good people"
upheld his hands. What will the
League of Republicans do about it?
