EDWIN S. DEFORD
FOR TREASURER
One Of the Substa n tiaI Citizens
Of the County and q Man
of Iuteupjty,

In the selection of Edwin s. DeFord
as its candidate for county treasurer,
the Democracy of Stark county has
been exceedingly fortunate. No man
In the county could have been selected
who would have given more general
satisfaction or has higher qualifica-
tions for the place, should he be chos-
en- by the people at the November cleo
tion.
Mr.. DeFord is a man of experience
in the very lines that one needs train
ing in order to fill the Office to which
he aspires. He Is a banker of many
years experience, being at the head of
the bank of Minerva. During the
years that he has resided in that city,
Mr.. DeFord has won the confidence of
his fellow townsmen to such an extent
that partisanship Is lost sight of and
when he has been candidate for mu-
nicipal honors he has been elected, not
withstanding the fact that the town
is intensely Republican.
In all that neighborhood the same
feeling exists, and word comes that
wherever known, that large numbers
OF Republicans, recognizing his sterl-
ing and eminent fitness for the office,
will vote for Mr.. DeFord for treasurer.
Not only in the immediate neighbor-
hood of his home but all over the coun-
ty where he Is known, this same con-
dition exists. He is making thorough
canvass, and intends keeping up the
fight until the polls are closed in No
vember Wherever he goes his repu-
tation has preceded him. He has that
courteous manner and personal pres
ence that wins him the esteem and
confidence of all who meet him.
He Is esteemed generous to a fault
in his dealings with his fellowmen, but
the soul of integrity and exactness in
the transactions of business where the
interests of others are involved. The
success Of the banking institution with
which he is connected is evidence Of
the confidence that the people have
in it's management.
Mr.. DeFord is a married man, one
whose character is we'll established.
He Is not a boy, but man of mature
years and judgment. His training has
all been in the line of finance and ac-
counts. If elected, he would not be "A
man who wodld have to seek long for
bondsmen. He could get them for the
asking.
Taken all in all, the Democratic can
didate is the ideal one for the place.
There is no quality of character or of
fitness that he does not possess. If
elected, the county's funds would be
safe in his hands. These matters
should be weighed by the voter be-
tween now and the time of election,
and Mr.. DeFord should secure not only
the solid Democratic vote, but the sup
port of judicious and fair-minded men
of all parties.

The commissioners were in session
Friday morning. They allowed the bills
for the regular salaries of the court
house employees and their own salaries
for August. They also passed resolu-
tion declaring that inasmuch as Pro-
secutor Day could not act as their at
torney in the injunction proceedings
noted elsewhere, it was necessary to
have other counsel and authorized the
hiring Of Judge Isaac H. Taylor.
1t is reported that Hon. John c. We'll
ty will also assist in the defense, but
the commissioners stated that If he
was it would be because the people
up at Uniontown or some one else hired
him. He will in all probability repre-
sent the electrical company, of which
he is president.

The office Of county aditor, being the
center OF financial interest to the people
in the administration of public affairs
in the county, Is an important one and
the workings of it of all absorbing in
terest to taxpayers. In the conduct OF
individual and corporate interests,
there is nothing of such paramount i'm
pcrtance as a well devised system show
ing at all times, with the least labor
and the greatest accuracy, the true
condition of the business that those
most interested may be enabled to follow
the minutest fluctuations of the business
and successfully weather the fiercest
financial storms that cause the staunch-
est institutions to tremble, and send
many that have been fairly well man
aged to ruin.
Upon the county auditor devolves a
multiplicity of duties of most vital pub
lie concern, In the making of tax dup
licates and the fixing of taxable values,
everybody is directly interested, and it
is only through the best devised sys-
TENS and the best regulated manage
ment that the public may ascertain
with the least labor and the greatest
accuracy the true condition of any mat
ter in which they may be interested.
AS secretary of the board of county
commissioners, the auditor has direct
concern with all the affairs of that Of
fee, and upon him depends the making
of such records and the installing of
such systems as will make plain to the
people all their transactions. In the
person of Jacob II. Kaufman, of Can
ton, the Democratic party has nominal
ed man of unquestionable ability and
integrity, one of the few peculiarly
adapted to the work of the Office. He
is descendant Of the well known Sol
omon Kaufman family, his parents
came to Stark county and located near
Canal Fulton in the sixties.
In the earlier years of his life he
served as teacher in schools of Wayne
and Summit counties, and in 1889 he
took up surveying and was engaged
by John II. Holl, with whom he serv-
ed as assistant engineer in the con-
struction of the Canton n-Massillon Elec-

JOHN H. H0LL,
The Democratic Candidate for
Surveyor 10 q Competent
Man.

Mr.. John H. Holl, who lives in Can
ton township on North Clarendon ave-
nue., Is favorably known not only
in Canton but all over Stark county.
For eleven years he was the city en-
gineer of Canton, and can point with
pride to his record in that capacity.
Two successive terms from 1877 to 1881
he served the county In the capacity
of county surveyor. Many are the
farms that he has laid out, and the di-
visions and subdivisions of lots In the
different towns of the county. He has
been actively engaged In engineering
for twenty years and consequently has
had an excellent opportunity to be of
service to the county and its citizens,
and in all he has faithfully performed
his duties.
Mr.. Holl is not what we would con-
slider an old man, although about fifty
years of age. He is the Democratic
candidate for county surveyor this fall,
and Is entitled to the support of every
Democrat, because of his genuine and
sincere Democracy at all times; be-
cause of his willingness at all times 20
do all he could for the success of the
party. He is entitled to the support OF
the better, thinking class of people OF
all parties because Of his known fitness
for the position and honesty Of pur-
pose. II the people of Stsrk county
will but consider the man, John II,
HolI will be the next county surveyor

Teachers to Get II.
DELIVERED LECTURE
Before Stark County Teachers
Institute--The Resistra-
tion Reached Four
Hundred.

The Hon. Lewis d. Bonebrake, state
school commissioner, was present at
the Thursday afternoon session of the
teachers institute and delivered lee
ture on what he would like to see &C.
complished by the teachers of the
state. Mr.. O'Sheas lecture was post
poned on account of the commission.
er's presence. Mr.. Bonebrake spoke
of what had been accomplished by the
teachers of the state and what they
should endeavor to do in the future.
He said: There are two things |
want to see accomplished by the teach
ers Of this state. want to see the
standard of
INSTRUCTION IMPROVED
and ] want to see the teachers get
more money for their work." It is
needless to say that the latter remark
received more appreciation from the
teachers than anything else he said:
Miss Sutherland gave talk on
First Lessons in Geography" and Mr..
Gantvoort continued his studies in
music.
The Thursday evening session was
one of the most
PLEASING FEATURES
of the institute. Mr.. Gantvoort lec-
tured on Our National Songs" Dur
ing the week he had drilled a large
chorus of the teachers and they sang
the songs as he spoke of them. Con.
sidering the short time he had to drill
Mr.. Gantvoort had a most creditable
chorus. The teachers sang the songs
with good expression and the volume
was sufficient to easily fill the audi.
torium. Mr.. Gantvoort's lecture was
most interesting one. He described
the songs and their motives.
The officers and executive commit
tee of the teachers institute were all
reelected except one at the Friday
morning session. |. A. Maier's name
was substituted for o. w. Kurtz on
the executive committee.
The registration up to date numbers
something
OVER FOUR HUNDRED
but the most of these and the most
constant attendants are not Canton
teachers but teachers from other parts
of the county. The officers say that
they are surprised that the Canton
teachers do not seem to care to take
advantage Of the opportunities for
study before them. The larger num-
ber of the teachers are from the dis.
trict schools and from the smaller
towns of the county. Most of the
teachers of the Canton schools are
registered, however.
Mr.. O'Shea's lecture Friday morn.
ing was OF unusual interest. His talk
was mostly about the period of the
students entrance to the high school.
He called 1t
THE SLANG PERIOD.
He said: This slang has value.
Slang is composed of simple words
which mean vast amount. 1t is all
right If they live through it. These
that don't live through are those who
were not allowed to use It," He ad-
vised the teacher who had a "bully"
in the school to get some fellow who
was a pretty husky chap and sick him
on the bully. In that was he said he
would get rid of him. Punishment. he
said, should be done with the judg-
ment of the entire class.
Miss Sutherland gave talk on
lessons in Morals and Manners"
Mr.. Gantvoort gave talk on musical
instruction.

Our institution is a large one
and can accommodate all applicants for
loans on good real estate security, at
the lowest current rates. We submit
to borrowers the following propositions
as facts which experience has proven
again and again:
l. 1t is better to borrow from a bank
than an individual, for the latter may
suddenly need his money and demand
payment when you cannot pay, or may
die, and then his estate will require
payment. In the case of a bank it's
business is to loan money, and there
fore, it will practically allow you to take
you own time in paying the principal,
and being a corporation, its existence
is perpetual.
| 2. 1t is better to borrow from
home bank than from some outside con-
cern, for the home banks interests are
largely the same as yours; it has n
personal acquaintance with you, and
will afford you friendship and lenien-
cy. You can not expect, and will not
! receive, such things from an outsider.

The Central Savings Bank is strict
ly a bank for savings, which means
in the broad sense, that all its trans
actions are those which law prescribes
and experience proves to be the safest
and surest for depositors. 1t makes
no unsecured loans and invests in no
securities which involve risk. 1t has
never varied from this line of policy
since 1t began business, and the strength
and standing of the Bank demonstrate
the wisdom of its course. The Cen
trail Savings Bank is now one of the
largest savings banks in Ohio. It's
business is not mel Iely local, but ex-
tends throughout large portion of
the State, and even into other States,
both east and west.
