judgeship. In the columns of the last
| issue of the Republican Standard, the
| leading Republican paper of that
| county, Brown township Republican
voices the sentiment of his section. 1t
should be noted that Brown township
lies along the Stark border. This tur-
bulent Republican says:
| Editor Republican, Standard, Carroll
ton, Ohio.
Dear Sir: Although but "a country
constituent" I, in common with all
| the Republicans of Carroll county take
an interest in the selection of the next
common pleas judge from three coun-
| ties comprising this sub division of the
judicial district, and your recent article
on the subject leads me to think that
an expression of opinion from one who
is outside the influence of the legal and
political circles of three county seats
might be of interest.
To recite a few facts, for basis;
Stark county is clearly entitled to one
judge, by reason of her size and i'm
| portance-not by reason of her loyalty
to the Republican party-her voters are
"kittle cattle" and never to be depended
| upon when the issue Is of import and
| the enemy dangerous. But Stark Is
entitled to one judge; at this time she
has two. In the campaign last spring
Carroll urged most rightfully that she
was entitled to one member on the
| bench and should be allowed to keep
Judge Taylor there, or name his sue
cessor. STARK said, that is all right;
you people are entitled to a judge, but
Amber Is strong in our county and Co.
lumbiana and he wants it now. Let him
go in and next spring Judge McCarty's
| term will expire and Carroll will have
no opposition in naming his, successor"
They-the people of Stark who were
acknowledgement always add.
Taylor is a good Judge; most an ex
cellent judge. But this is a presidential
year and you know how unreliable
Stark is. We don't want it said that
the presidents own county did not give
an increased vote. Amber will add
| strength to the whole ticket in Stark.
Let US have it now, and Carroll can
| name the man next spring"
These promises as well as all sense
of fairness or Of right and justice to
Little Carroll seem to have been lost
| sight Of by the politicians of Canton
| because it is they alone, who are already
endeavoring to place a member of the
Canton bar in line for this place and to
ignore Carroll county.
| This course is in keeping with the
previous work of these shortsighted, tin
horn politicians. Carroll county is--as
we are always proud to boast-safely
Republican. This county has never
wavered in it's allegiance to the princi-
pies Of the Republican party at ma
tional election since the organization of
that party. Year after year we have
kept Stark county in line when her
treacherous majority ran after false
gods and chased rainbows-this in the
congressional, judicial and senatorial
districts. She (Stark) always depend
ed upon us and we have never failed
to help her out. We have supported her
| 'favorite sons" through fair and foul
weather when she could not support
them at home.
| But the Republicans Of Carroll are
not lacking In a spirit of independence.
And this is why call these Canton poll
ticians short sighted. We have not hesi-
tated in Carroll to defeat Republican
nominee when we thought the nominee
unfit or unentitled to our support. We
are not so bound by party lines as 10
submit to a deprivation of our rights
through the petty wire-pulling OF q
crowd of unsalted politicians In Can
ton. Patience has ceased to be a yir-
tue with these fellows and i give them
fair warning that the general express
sion among the rank and file OF Carroll
county Republicans-and among Re-
publicans of Paris township, Stark
county and West township, Columbiana
| county, Il live close to the corner of
these three townships) Is, that IL by
any chiCanery Carroll county Is trick
ed" out of her right to name this mem
ber Of the bench 1t will be high time
to treat these unpledged Solons a les
son. "A Carroll county Democrat will
make good enough judge" they say,
III Carroll county Republicans are not
awarded their rights"
do not believe IN asking this clique
to be just to Carroll county. We de-
mand our rights and we dare you to
disregard the demand. We of Carroll
and Columbiana have stood by you
through thick and thin. We piloted you
out of Egypt-bore with you through
all Of your wanderings In the wildel-
ness and now that YOU are safe In
| Gods country" you win either learn
manners and forget your Democratic
habit of getting both feet in the
trough" or we will upset the trough.
! 1t is useless for me to detail whot
the Republicans Of Carroll have done
in support Of Stark county candidates.
II these Of the later day do not know
the history. from the days Of Griswold,
and Beiden through generation after
generation down to Amber, II would
be useless TO recite 1t. I have no word
OF warning for them--just q plain
threat; this is an on ycar--nationai A.
| fairs are settled for four years. Nomi.
