VOTES ENOUGH.
To Elect Bryan May Be Had By
Going After Them Says The
New York Journal.

The Oregon election has made clear,
what those familiar with the situation
knew we'll enough before, that the
Democracy cannot safely count on any
electoral votes this year from the Pa
cific coast The Pacific states are for
expansion. They have experienced too
much benefit already from the growth
of our commerce in the Orient to look
with favor upon policy Of retreat in
that quarter. They could have been
brought into line against Imperialism,
but not when anti-imperialism was rep
resented as the same thing as anti-ex-
pansion.
The Republican plurality in this
weeks election in Oregon seems to have
been from 5000 to 10000. In 1896 Nc
Kinley carried the state by 2,117. Bryan
carried Washington by 12,493, secured
one elector in California and came with
In $500 votes Of getting the other eight.
But the Republican majority in Oregon
this year is just about equal to the one
of 1899, when the Republicans carried
Washington by s.11S and California by
1908. ,.s- gen. a.-.-"-,t.,r.. 4r,.'.
1t is evident, therefore, that any pru-
dent Democratic calculations for the
coming campaign should leave out Of
account the four elector votes obtained
in 1896 in Washington and one in Cali
fornia, II not the three of Nevada.
That makes at least five votes to be
looked for elsewhere. In addition to the
4s Bryan lacked Of a majority in 1896.
In other words, II Mr.. Bryan Is to win
this time he must get at least So elec-
toral votes which he did not have In
1896.
Are those votes to be had?
They are.
All that is necessary is to 60 after
them in the right way.
Kentucky is good for - Of them. pro-
vided the Democrats there repeal The
Goebel law and give an assurance OF
fair elections.
That leave Al.
New York has SO.
Therefore New York and Connecticut
would do the work with one to spare,
DR. New York and New Jersey with five
with three to spare, or New York anc
West Virginia with one to spare.
Always New York. ..,,s.,.
Let the Democrats carry New York
and they viii pick up electoral votes
enough elsewhere In the east to make

WILL SOON
HAVE PATHS.
Side Path Commission Gets
Down to Business.
SOLICITORS WILL GATHER CASH.
First Path Will be From Alliance to Ma
vsrre-The Commission Organizes
and ralks About Buyins q
Machine.

The bicycle side path commission met
in the court house Friday night and or
ganized permanently. Plans were also
discussed and steps taken to get right
to work at the construction Of q bicycle
path that will be credit to the county.
The board organized with officers as
follows: President, Guy Tilden; vice
president, Lee Wearstler; secretary.
William A. Bell.
The districts in the county were d.
vided UP. Mr.. Gabeile was assigned to
look after path work in Alliance and
vicinity. Mr.. Wearstler is to keep his
eye on things near Louisville. Mr..
around Massillon and Mr.. Tilden and
Mr.. Bell will have q care for work about
Canton.
A resolution was adopted declaring
that the first path to be constructed
shall be from Alliance to Navarro by
way Of Louisville, Canton and Massil-
Ion. The question Of buying a machine
made especially for constructing bicycle
paths was discussed and 1t Is probable
that the machine will be secured.
With this machine the commission will
go out into the country and get the far
mers to loan their horses and make
paths along in front Of their places.
The paths will keep close to the fence
wherever practicable.
The really important thing done at
the meeting was to arrange for the Sc
curing Of the dollars with which work
is to be. pushed. The prosecutor had
been consulted and he decided that the
commission had power to employ a So
licitor or several Of them to collect the
money. Each member was therefore
empowered to employ a solicitor to see
all the riders and get dollar from each.
This money will be placed in the
county treasury and used by the COM
mission.
The subject Of tag for wheels of per-
sons who have paid the license was dis
cussed but no design was selected at
this meeting.
The machine that Is under consider
alton will cost $500 but with 1t the COM
mission thinks a path could be made
from here to Massillon in two days
time. The commission expects to have
the Alliance-Navarre path completed
this year and several others under way.

Columbus, June lit is now ad-
mitted that a difference Of opinion win

A CANTON WOMAN.
A woman who gave her name as Mrs.
Stewart rushed into local police head
quarters yesterday, very much agitated,
and said she had received a telegram
announcing the serious illness of her
mother in Canton, but that she could
not go to that place as her step-father,
William Madison, Of 1893 South Canal
street, refused to allow her to take her
away from the house.
During the recital of Mrs. Stewards
woes 1t developed that her mother had
been removed by another sister to her
home in Canton on account Of the treat
ment given her by the husband. Chief
Tyler offered to send an officer with
Mrs. Stewart to secure the clothes or
find out why the step-father would not
give them up, but she informed him that
the house was locked UP and the man
was away with the key. She wanted
permission to break down the door, but
that could not be given her. so she left
promising to return in the evening. Mrs.
Stewart is described as being young and
good looking.

by Deputy Constable Marsh on a warrant
sworn out of Justice Nichols court charg-
ing him with libel, alleged to have been
committed against w. Bordner on the 2Sth
of May. The warrant had been in the
hands of the officer for several days, but 1t
was not until yesterday evening that the
two men met. The defendant was at once
taken before Justice Nichols and in de-
fault of $1,000 bail spent the night in the
county Jail. This morning he was ar
raigned, entered a plea of not guilty, and
will be given a preliminary hearing next
Friday. In the meantime he will stay In

YOUTHFUL
H|GHWAyMEN
THEY SNATCHED A PURSE FROM
THE LITTLE DAUGHTER OF
ARCHIBALD GRAY,
SPENT NIGHT IN JAIL
AND LET GO THIS MORNING,
16hhny 0'Brien and Johnny Sullivan,
q Infants are Partners ir Crime
Afraid of Reform School.

! johnnie OBrien and Johnny Sullivan
are two little boys in whom the bandit
instinct a developed In their ender
yearp. The elder of the two is not more
last evening they me- the little daughter
of Archibald Gray of the Great North
ern. 3 The little lady had been sent down
on an errand and was on her way to her
parents apartments in the Dorothy
block. She had a purse in her hand. n
as h is a fin de steele little girl, she
was carrying it in the exposed manner
30 much affected by fashionable women.
Have you a pencil, little grip asked
one of the bold boy bandits.
mo, I have not a pencil" retorted the
little lady in disdain at being approached
boy
Then one of the boys snatched the
purse held by the girl and the two ran
down the street as though their lives
depended upon it.
The deed was witnessed by several
boys. who called Officer McGillick's at
tention to the running a d and told him
what they had lone. The officer lost no
time in catching the young highwaymen.
They spent the night in Jail.
Which Of you boys took the little
girls purse?' asked Judge Sullivan this
morning.
II did" replied the Sullivan boy. with
an apparent attempt to brave the thing
through. -'~.,- n
What did you do it for?" continued
his honor.
But the boy had lost the power OF
speech and the courage of the moment
before had departed. The cat had his
tongue.
Have you a mother?"
@ "Yes," he replied.
~ And a father?"
Yes"
Don't you know that you can be sent
to the reform school for this?"
The bold boy bandit of the night before
collapsed. The reform chool was his
boyle man. He saw the iron barred win
dows and thought of the Saturdays when
he could not go fishing. Liberty and
license seemed sweet M far away. His
burglarious bravado departed and he
blubbered just like an ordinary boy.
"I'n let you boys go this time" said
his honor, and his voice had the ring of
the awfulness of what might have hap
pened, but if you come here again YOU
will scertainly be sent to the reform
school. You can go now but you must
remember that it will be we'll for you to
behave yourselves in the future
And the boys went away feeling that
thevIhad just escaped with their lives. 1t
Misunderstood Mr. Gray did not care
to prosecute them.
