day morning it was learned that he
had had every deputy sheriff in the
county on the Jump Saturday night
looking for suspected liquor-for
wet good, which We're not assem-
bled wholly FOR use in the arts. 1t
gave the street something to talk
about, and the raids here. in Bethel
and Lu1low were pretty thoroughly
discussed during the day.
The hauIs made by the active Off
Gals wouldn't make frcShet, the
total seizures amounting to only tif-
teen or twenty gallons of varied color
and strength.
The operations here were con-
ducted by deputy She,iffs kiniry,

but nothing was found in either
pla ce.
Deputy Sheriff Z. n. Thomas was
sent to Ludlow, and with the assist
ance of Deputy Shcriffs Moore and
McDcrmott made a raid on the Lu d.
low House. The quantity Of stuff
set out by Proprietor O. +. knowl-
ton, at MIR. Thomas invitation, did
not satisfy the officers and in look
ing around little they found three
or four gallons Of spirits. Proprie-
tor knowlton and Clerk Sta ford

i'll fame. In the house were Ed.
Matott. Blanche Densmore, and
another man, whose name is not

list of cases. The liquor seized at
Ludlow was condemned and or
dered spilled, Landlord O. f.
knowlton and his clerk paying the
costs of the seizure and spilling of
the illegal huid J. {. Lnright OF
Windsor appeared for them. On
the charge Of selling, furnishing and
giving away liquor knowlton was

examination on the charge of adul-
terry, bail being fixed at $500 in the
woman'S case and $500 in Matott's

STRONG FACTS.

That is what you have
been getting from us
sensible, logical, torcible
facts about the West
Shore range.
A range in which the
oven can be quickly and
evenly heated. and at the
same time completely
ventilated Il range
equipped with a thermom-
eter which accurately
registers the temperature
of the oven, making per-
feet cooking an easy mat
ter, and saving a large
amount of fuel;
A range which makes
possible boiling and bak-
ing at the same time, and.
in short, a range which
is more perfect in con-
struction, more simple Of
operation, more Satisfac-
tory as to results than
any you are selling or
have ever sold.
If all these things were
not true, we would be
wasting our time and our
money in telling them to
you.

NO GUARDIAN FOR AKRON'S MAYOR

The most our neighbor, the Beacon,
can say in behalf of Judge Andcrson's
candidate for Mayor is that If elected
he cannot do wrong IL the leading
Republican citizens OF Akron will
maintain the right sort of guardian
ship and espionage over him. And
the fact that Mr.. Doyle has not rcpu-
dated this rather cheap estimate thus
put upon him may incline our people
to believe that he concurs in tho
Bcacon's disparagcmcnt of his intcg-
rity and native ability. AS It's can
didate for Mayor, the Democratic
party offers the citizens of Akron n
young man whose past independence

that he will require no vilignnce com.

proaches OF II political boss. The fac

NO TEST OATH NEEDED.

1t is to the credit of Mr.. Chas. II.
Isbell that he has not put his friends
through the hippodrome performance
of giving test oath of their allegiance
to him. Mr.. Isbell will get the sup
port Of Republicans as well as Demo
Gratis. He wants the good will and
the support of citizens, regardless of
their party, when ne is Mayor, and that
is the kind of man the people want to
help them overcome Judge Anderson S
Proxy system. A candidate who can only
bid for popular support by having his
friends tell what good partisan he
has been or will be Is an unsafe man
come the schemes and artifices OF
Judge Anderson. The Democrat Is glat
that Mr.. Isbel Is n man broad enough
to represent all classes of citizenship
one who, if elected will be willing
to so beyond the limits of his party fol
counsel in regard to the administration
of his Office.

A PURIFYING DEFEAT.

There are great many leading
Republicans in Akron who have CON
cluded that their party can win no
victories in local elections until it re-
moves the handicap which Judge An
derson's proxy system has put upon 1t.
There Is no pretense that the Proxy
system Is administered for the bene-
fit of the Republican party; hence there
Is no obligation upon the members OF
the party to give it an endorsement
Mt the election next week. A defeat
for Judge Anderson's candidate fol-
Mayor will mean the breaking up for
ever of the Proxy system; the election
of that candidate. will strengthen tn,

by Il wholesome defeat for the Proxy

Manufacturer o. G. Barber told the
Akron Economic League few weeks
ago that thes sCity Commissioners Of
Akron had ignored the spirit Of the
Commissioners law by farming out the
inspection of public improvements to
political favorites instead Of attend
ing to that important work themselves.
Every citizen who had anything to do
with the adoption of the City Com
missioner law for Akron will endorse
Mr.. Barber's opinion in this regard. 1t
is not too late now to appoint Com
missioners who for the remainder of
the time that the law is permitted ia
remain upon the statute books will ad.
minister their offices as the max
ers of the law intended. The election
of Mr.. lsbell to the Mayoralty will be
a short cut to giving the people an op
portunty to be represented in the ad
mlnlstration of the Boards affairs.
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1901-03-25

Akron's citizens should keep 1t IN
mind that they are not electing gov
ernor, or Congressman, or endorsing
National administration in their local
election this spring. The only issue
that Is before the people is the endorse
ment or reputation of the administra-
tion of the Board of commissioners.
since that body has assumed to be the
sole power and authority in the conduct
of the city's affairs and since its ad-
minstration has been endorsed and de-
Tended by politicians who assume to
be the dominant faction of the local
Republican party. Citizens who want
the Proxy system to continue should
not vote for Mr.. Isbell for the Mayor
atty.

spent in the neFghborhood of 100000
to keep the streets clean, not includ-
ing the thuieands of dollars that were
levied by Special assessment upon
private property dbutting upon the
streets,
That better results have not been
obtained by the expenditure of these
large sums of money is because Judge
Anderson's Proxy Commissioners have
turned the Street department into a
political aid society. Men have been
employed in that department. as re-
ward for their service to the Ma
chine instead of for any merit they
had for the position.
One of Akron's Councilmeu informs
us that even the head of the Street
department has given great deal
of his time to fishing, training fast
horses for one of the Commissioners,
and aiding in the execution of the
Cars political jobs instead of attend
ing to the duties for which the people
were taxed to pay him.
If elected, what can Mr.. Doyle do to
remedy these conditions? The taXpay-
ers cannot afford to spend $4,000
or $4,000 for clean streets next year,
for their treasury is bankrupt.
And what likelihood is there that
Mr.. Doyle, nominated by the influence
of Judge Anderson, will have the
backbone to undertake the reform OF
the Proxy system? Every taxpayer
has the good sense to know that this
| evil must be broken down before
there can be any radical improve
ment in the street and other depart
mpnts which have been so gllbly mark

Andcrson's eleventh hour" convert!
TO the cause of municipal reform.
The fact is that the parrot-like or!
of "clran streets" has about us mucl
real merit and probability as tina
other cry about municipal reform"
But every Akron property owne
who has paid the least attention t.
the trend of his city's affairs within
he last three years knows that whcI
they want to do away with tn,
Proxy system and to place rcprcsen
tative citizens upon the Board o
Commissioners, the way to begin |
not to elect to the Mayoralty youn
man whom Judge Anderson has non
mated for that position.
Akron must have no Mayor upo
whom Judge Anderson claims. a poll

The people must clean out the Prox
system before they can have clea
streets.
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1901-03-25

Within the last fortnight the politi-
clans who are responsible for the ac-
cumulated evils resulting from three
years of the Proxy system, have de-
vcloped II remarkable zeal for the re-
form of the local public service. Even
Judge Anderson is posing as Il munich
pal reformer of the first magnitude.
This newly acquired fidelity of the
beneiiciarics of the Proxy system ia
a policy that will result in taking from
all of them their opportunity to feed
ut the public crib, is in itself the best
evidence of the insInccrlty of their
candidates pledges of reform But even
n Gar can pretend to be a Jealous
advocate of reform when political
emergency indicates the wisdom OF
such policy.

Of Bassett Never Cease,
Wife Leaves Again-ChiIdren

Chas. Bassett, who resides at 313

BILE as the result of his wife's con-

home whenever she pleases without
consulting her husband, or stating
when she'll return.
A year ago she ran away with a
man, who deserted her in, an Eastern
city. She returned home, was for
given, and for awhile did well in the
care of her home and three children.
But she has gone again, and Mr. Bas-
sett is having hard time to make

One of the stock arguments used
against the election of Democratic
members of the Council last spring
was that If elected they would redls-
trict the city in n way that would de-
privc the Republican citizens of party
representation In the Council. But Il
majority of the members elected were
Democrats and they proved their good
faith by preparing and advocating Il
re-districting ordinance that was 81
satisfactory to the Republican citizens
that the Republican members of the
Council We're encouraged to give II
unanimous support, This fairness OF
the Democratic members of the Coun
ell, when they We're in the majority
and therefore in n position to take nd
vantage of their Republican neighbors
shows what little credence should bt
placed in the stcreotyped charge tina
they are extensively partisan.

make a Proxy of the Board himself
and will not permit others to do so. The
men whom he will favor for the ap-
pointment will be satisfactory to all
the people, Democrats and Republicans
alike, and will have the ability and the
backbone to be Commissioners without

Akrons population has increased
more than 90 per cent within the last
ten years, but since the Proxy system
of administration has been in effect, the
city's expenses have increased 800 per
cent. Ask yourself, as citizen, not ms
a partisan, whether it is best to have
a Mayor who will restore the BOARD OF
City Commissioners, which spends the
city's money, to the control of the peo
pie, or do you prefer to have the Board
continue AS now-the Proxy of Judge
Anderson?
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1901-03-25

When elected Mr. Isbell will demand
representation for the people upon the
Board of City Commissioners, and with
a record of three years of proxy gov
ernment to the discredit of the present
Board, no political boss will dare op-
pose the demand that the control of the
Board be restored to the people.
