Canton Democrats are Wel piedseu
with the ticket nominated at Kansas
City and with the platform. Not
Democrat in Canton has been heard to
offer a word against either ticket or
platform. News-Democrat reporters
interviewed few of the Democrats In
various walks of life with a view OF
getting the general sentiment. Not one
was met who was not enthusiastic and
ready to vote a straight ticket. APP
pended are some of the interviews:
President Otto Eckhardt, of the city
council: THE ticket was the strong
est that could have been selected. Ste
yenson is the right man for vice pres1-
dent and our ticket will be elected with
out a doubt. The platform could not
have been more judiciously framed"
Councilman Keller HUFF: 1--WE could
not have selected better ticket in the
United States. Stevenson is very able
man for second place, as he has proven
by previous official duties. The plat
form is an excellent one"
City Clerk Ley: "The ticket Is the
best which could have been selected.
Every inch Of Stevenson is Democrat
and the ticket will be elected. The plat
form could not have been improved
upon"
DR.. S. A. Conklin: 1.-THE ticket Is as
good a one as could have been selected.
Stevenson is the best man for second
place that could have been secured, ir-
respective of any other man, Towne not
excepted. The platform is next to the
Declaration of Independence; the con-
stitution first, then the Declaration OF
Independence, and next comes the DEM
ocraric platform"
Joseph Munter: "The Kansas City
ticket will be winner. Stevenson is a
good man for second place. I believe
imperialism will be the issue this year;
and under the present circumstances
the ticket as well as platform are as
well selected and framed as could have
been possible"
James Willis, water works depart
ment: "The convention could not have
selected a better ticket. Stevenson Is
man of character, and his previous SER
vice has gratified the Democrats. The
platform is perfectly satisfactory"
City Engineer Weber: "The selec-
tion was made of the best men to be
had. The people will be perfectly sat
isfied with Stevenson as he is a man
OF strong character; he has been tried
once before and was not found wanting.
The platform is all that it should be;
just the proper one"
Ex-President A. r. Turnbull, Of city
council: The ticket is the best that
could have been selected. Stevenson's
nomination is the proper one, The plat
form will be perfectly satisfactory tc
every good Democrat"
Wesley White, residing in Soutf
Cherry street, said: II have been 6
Republican for 60 years, but / an
tempted very much to vote for Bryan
and Stevenson this year"
Henry D. Alexander, horseshoer, No
1877 Court street, said: "W. ]. Bryan
the head of the ticket, is without {
doubt the greatest statesman of tn
century. Stevenson has been tried ant
found not wanting. No better selection
could have been made. The ticket
bound to win. The platform is the em
bodiment of principles which ever
true loving American dearly cherishes
and every citizen Of this great republi
which loves his country, his home, hi
friends and the enjoyment of libertI
can with a conscience as clear as
crystal vote the Democratic ticket th
fall"
DR.. L. d. Blanchard: There neyt
was ii cket nominated that united tf
party as this one. Stevenson Is II
strongest possible man. The platforl
could not have been better framed {
1t unites the different factions Of II
party"

"The ticket as whole is all right st
venson will draw largely from the r.
publican ranks as he Is a strong ma
am Democrat, therefore the tick
and platform suits me-"
A. N. Dunbar, of the Williams hot'
"You can bet 16 to 4 that am no II
perialist, as my constitution reb'
against such an outrage upon the dc
trine Of Jeffersonian simplicity. I sh
not bow the knee to the protector Of {
multiplicity wife Of the Sultan Of Su
nor throw up my hat for the persecui
of Agg1e In Luzon.''
william F. shario: II think It
one that will be nuccessful. II could :
