It is said they went there for the pur-
pose Of getting the fee to stand for Of
flee In that county. reduced. The COM
mittee, seeing that Stark county was
inclined to take whatever Offices were
desired, raised the age..in Carrollto1
very considerably and made # $3.50 for
a Judge and 500 for senator. Now
the Garfield law limits expenditures,
so that II is necessary to get that $3.50
transferred to the fund In some other
way, or Mr.. Harter will not be allowed
to even spend any money for hotel
bills, during the campaign, and may be
on his friends, the margin being very
light The Republican-Standard does
not state just what was done with the
contention that the fee be reduced,
but has the following on the situation
in general:
Henry w. Harter and A. M. McCar-
ty, of Canton, were in Carrollton on
Monday on political business. II is
well known that Mr.. Harter has n
mortgage on the common pleas judge
ship which he is
DESTROYS OF FORECLOSING
in the near future. Mr.. McCarty is a
brother of Judge T. T. McCarty, whose
job Mr.. Harter is after, and is also ma
tive of Carroll county and beneficiary
of a lucrative federal appointment.
These Two eminent gentlemen we're
here solely and ostensibly to look over
the situation, sound public opinion
and adjust any grievances that Repu5-
licans may feel over the wrongs done
them in their disfranchisement in the
judicial district through the unjust and
.heartless methods of Stark county ring
sters, ~
Mr.. Harter is as urbane and pleasant
a gentleman as one will meet in days
travel, and Mr. McCarty possesses all
the charms Of an oriental juggler. Mr..
Harter captivates with his grace nf
manners, and Mr.. McCarty fascinates
through his hypnotic influences. Their
combined presence is well nigh irresissi-
BILE and they certainly play the "veni,
vidi, vici" act with perfection. But
while the Republicans Of Carroll have
high regard for Mr.. Harter personally
and admire his manly qualities they
nevertheless feel constrained to rebuke
the kind of politics of which he is an
exponent. He stands for political
trust that reaches out its tentacles and
destroys all. opposing elements that
grasps and holds whatsoever is in
reach, that is arrogant, ,monarchical an1
brutal, that knows no law except self
aggrandizement and acknowledges no
power save that which ministers to per-
sonal gain, that makes promises but
to deceive and then laughs credulity OF
its innocent victims.
SAYS IT'S WRONG.
Mr.. Harter does great wrong in ac-
ship. In so doing he becomes acces-
sorry to political perfidy for which
there is no palliation. He connives at
the deprivation of Carroll county to q
residen. judge and discounts the 10y
atty of county which has stood by
Stark in the dark days Of political
degeneracy. Mr.. Harter should not
forget that the people generally are
convinced that the judgeship should
be eliminated from the sphere of party
politics and may be disposed to cast
their ballots in accordance with their
convictions. The Republicans of Car
roll county feel the slight placed upon
them by Stark county and win doubt,
less resent it at the polls this fall.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
the outlook for the usual majority for
the Republican candidate for common
pleas judgeship is not encouraging.
Henry w. Harter is the victim OF base
and sordid politics, and Mr.. McCarty
adds to its baseness by attempting to
show by figures and precedents, which
he has at his tongues end and COM
bines with an ingenuity that would
discount an expert magician, that Car
roll county has no right to judgeship,
at-least not this year; last year was
Carroll's time. Then Judge Amber
who is now on the bench by the grace
of few false friends to Judge Taylor,
states that this is Carroll's year and
last year was Stark's. There you have
II and then you don't have II. Carroll
county is between the devil and the
deep blue sea, and the sport of band
OF political grafters who will grant
nothing unless compelled to do so. Car
roll county should make her demands
In manner which cannot be mistaken
II she fails to set redress in airy other
