The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1899-08-25

for county commissioner after a close
run with Joseph d. Miller. Meyer had
been candidate before which no
doubt aided him in the present con-
test. Joseph Miller made an excellent
showing but the outlying precincts
came in against him and early Monday
afternoon Mr.. Miller graceously ac-
knowledged his defeat. Mr.. Miller may
be depended upon to be the same
staunch Democrat he has been all his
life and stand by the ticket from be-
ginning to end. Everybody knows the
nominee, Ed. J. Meyer, and everybody
knows his fitness for the office of county
commissioner. His long experience as
a business man in touch with the people
of every part of the county peculiarly
qualities Mr.. Meyer for the RESPONSE
BILE position to which he aspires. There
would be no unnecessary expenditures
in the commissioners office with Mr..
Meyers eyes on the check book.
Schemes to loot the treasury under the
guise of perfecting methods of facilitat-
ing work in divers offices in the county
building, would necessarily stop when a
mana heavy tax payer himself and of
irreproachable integrity-sat as a safe
guard to the people whose money must
pay the bills. Such a man is Ed. ].
Meyer and every voter should put an X
mark before his name at the approach
ing election.
FOR PROSECUTOR.
Prosecuting Attorney Pomerene had
no opposition at the primaries. He has
made such an excellent prosecutor that
no Democrat had the temerity to con-
tradict his right to reelection. With the
consciousness of having done his full
duty while holding the highly import
ant office, Prosecutor Pomerene again
enters the race for a second term to
which, by every official act, he is en-
titled. Burglarious gangs have been
sent to the penitentiary and scattered
under Prosecutor Pomerenes admins
tration. He has stood as o champion
of the rights of the people who were
victims Of the ill-doing and it is with
the assurance of one who has dealt fair
and square with rich and poor alike that
Mr.. Pomerene enters the race for a Sec
ond term as prosecuting attorney of
Stark county.
INFIRMARF DIRECTOR.
Elson Vandergrift. the nominee for
infirmary director, also had no oppo-
sition. Mr.. Vandegrift is a farmer re-
siding near New Franklin and those
who know him speak in highest terms
of his ability and sterling worth.
FOR TREASURER.
There was no name printed on the
ballots for county treasurer, but many
of the voters wrote in the name of
Squire Henry w. Hossler of Plain
township, for that Office and he has
been declared the nominee. Squire
Hossler is one of the substantial cit
iZens of Stark county. AS a man of
integrity and sterling honesty he has
no peer in the county. He has handled
interests running into the millions and
his books balanced dollar for dollar.
No man in the county makes a better
candidate for the office nor could take
into a wider experience in business and
money affairs. He is an ideal man for
the place and his triumphant election
is confidently predicted
