STARK COUNTY,
CarroiIton Repubiican--S Stand
ard Gives Voice to It's
Sentiments on the PoIit-
,jcal Situation,


is still raging about the greed of Stark
county Republican politicians. Its lat
est screed is as follows: g'l
= Appointment Alliance citizen requests
twenty-five copies of the Republi-
can-Standard of December ID contain
ing an article on the judgeship under
the signature of Drown Township"
AS the Issue of that date has been ex-
hausted long since and the Republican
Standard Is anxious to accommodate It's
friend, the article Is reproduced in these
columns this week.
This request indicates that the hog
combine of Stark county is not having
everything its own way. Those who are
in favor of a free field and an open
fight resist the political tyranny aud
rebuke its dastardly methods. For
many years they have silently chafed
under It's CALLING yoke, but now they are
disposed to cast 1t off their sensitive
shoulders and assert their rights as
freemen. Many of the best Republicans
of Canton, while not openly denouncinS
the meeting held by their bar associa-
tion in that city to consider the inter-
ests of the judgeship." have quietly but
none the less effectively condemned the
few wind-jamming attorneys who had
the brazen effrontery to ask all possible
candidates to ster aside and give place
to Hon. Henry w. Harter. From that
meeting called to endorse his candidacy
such able iurists and prominent polit.
ical leaders as Judges Day, Baldwin
+ Taylor and McCarty were absent. The
fact is that not one-fOurth of the attOr-
neys of Stark county were present, and
many who were there were simply toad
{ eating, tuft-hunting, subservient, sycO-
plants ever willing to do the bidding of
the self-constituted leaders. The meal
so daintily prepared and amply served
has proven a surfeit. The people OF
Stark county have had "too much Har-
ter" administered by political quacks
The dose Is acting as an emetic and
many are throwing off the nauseating
load from their rebellious stomachs.
In Carroll county the situation can be

judgeship and more especially over tn
political domination of Stark county
They have cause to kick. Stark cOun

candidates: They believe, and justly
too, they should at least give them
chance for their white alley. If Car
