Col II. G. Sanford was known to
be n certain advocate OK reforming
the manner in which the City Com
missioncrs have administered the
clty's affairs. If Judge Anderson was
sincere in his eleventh hour pretense
of desiring such reform, why did
he oppose Mr.. Sanford and work for
the nomination Of a young man whose
candidacy Ire had first announced to
the people, and of whose control he
would he certain in the event of the
Proxy system being endorsed? The
people may draw their own conclu-
slons.

Mr. NJ. O'Ncil, Mr.. Paul E. Werner,
Mr.. Il. J.. Dodge, or Senator Alexander.
If they would lave relief the people
must regain control of the Board of
City Commissioners, which is the sole
and supreme power in The management
OF the city's affairs.
The Democrat believes that this con.
troll cannot he regained by electing to
the Mayoralty the man for whose
nomination the present dictator of the
Board assumes to have the credit. And
at the risk of exhausting the patience
of the people we have tried to impress
this fact upon them.
The election of Mr.. Isbell means
that one half of the Board of Com
missioners at least will be made rep
| resentative OF the people-and that
no more harships can be beimposed upon

portunity to demand relief from the
Legislature next winter.
A vote for Mr.. Isbell means n Ger

ministration of the Board of Commits

THIS EXPLAINS Chow"

There is more than one way of de.
pleting a public treasury. For in
stance, If political boss works his
way into the control of IL Board that
is not directly responsible to the peo,
pie, but which is entrusted with the
spending of the peoples money, he
can create enough new offices for his
political leutenants, raise enough sal
aries, authorize enough public improve
ments as rewards for favOrlte con
tractors, give away enough franchises
and award enough contracts to the
highest bidders to bankrupt the
strongest treasury in the land. This
is what the Proxy system has done
for Akron in its three years of opera
ton. Is there enough partisan white
wash in Summit county to cover this
three years record of the Proxy sys
TEN?
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1901-03-27

Had Chas. II. Isbell been n Proxy;
had he turned his back upon the inter-
ests of the people in exchange for a
seat at the banquet place wherein
the Car and his retaincrs have feasted
at the expense Of the city's interests,
there would be no harsh words for him
in this campaign. The fact that Gar
Anderson and every place holder and
chair-warmer whom he cam control Is
fighting Mr.. Isbell, is the best reason
why he should have the support of the
people for Mayor.
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1901-03-27

Every promise which Judge Anderson
has made in order to obtain props for
his Proxy system, will have to be re-
deemed at the expense of the city. Ak
ron's dictator pays no political debts
with his own means. 1t is by forcing
himself into the control of the local
government that he has been able to
discharge his political debts at the ex.
pense Of the people. DO the people
want two years more of Proxy govern
mcnt and political debt paying?
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1901-03-27

The argument that Judge Anderson,
and his Proxy City Commissioners,
and his thirty or forty superfluous
Office holders who have been appoint
ed within the last three years ut the
expense of Akron's people, are work
ing night and day for the election of a
reform" candidate who is pledged
to turn around after his election and
kick the Proxy system out of power
and It's beneficiaries out of office, is
about as nauseOus a dose as has been
prepared for Akron people for many
a day.
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1901-03-27


1t is an uphill task, that of convinc-
ing Akron's Republican voters that they
ought to vote for two years more of
Proxy government for the pleasure of
gaining partisan victory. Indeed
there are hundreds of Republicans in
Akron who believe that the best vic,
tory for their party will be u defeat
for the politicians who have forced
their party into n position which i'm.
pels II to he an unwilling endorser of
the Proxy system.

In the event that enough taxpayers
stay ut home next Monday to permit
Judge Anderson to land his candidate
in office, picture to yourself how eager
the public spirited and magnanimous
Judge will be, when the Legislature
meets next year, to send TO Columbus
delegation after delegation of his prox-
leg, his policemen, and inspectors, and
favored contractors, and other beneli-

having for three years paid his politi'
cal debts mt the expense of the city,
he will leave it bankrupt.
The people have sent trustworthy
men to the Council to protect their
interests, only to find out how the
powers of that body have been clrcum-
scribed by the Board of Proxy Com
mlssioners.
They have themselves gone to the
City Hall and made direct appeals to
the Commissioners, only to have their
petitions spurned.
There is but one way to restore Ak
ron's government to the control Of the
people, and that way Is to break down
the control which political dictator
has maintained for three years over the
Board of City Commissioners, and
which he is now seeking to extend fol
two years more.
The issue is clear as day.
Are you in favor of giving the peo
pie a voice in the management of theil
clty's affairs?
Or do you want Proxy government
for two years more?

WHO PAYS FOR THE "0FFICES 2

The Dobson paper can see no other
issue in the present contest than that
of Offices
"This idea of little cotcrie of Dem
ocratic politicians parcelling out the
offices between themselves year after
year must be highly encouraging to
the party workers." says the Beacon.
The citizens of Akron do not care
may wear; their only concern is:
"IIow are the officers administered" :"
Had Democratic Probate Judge
mcddlcd in the affairs of Akron as
Judge Anderson has done, and were
lie now undertaking to extend his
control over the city as Judge Ander-
son is doing, the Democrat would have
the public spirit to fight him. instead
of aiding him in the further upbuildlng
of his machine at the expense of
the people.
Although the barriers erected by
the Proxy system have been such
that the little cotere of Democrats
of which the Beacon speaks with such
fine scorn--has been unable to "parcel
out" many offices, the Democrat is
glad that such as have been parcelled
out have been administered in the
interests of the city and to the salts,
faction of the people.
While Judge Anderson has been
building up his Proxy sysem at the
expense of the clty's interests; while
he has been creating thirty or forty
new high salaried offices and has "par
celled" them out to men to whom he
owed political debts; while he has
controlled every act of his Proxy
Board of City Commissioners, causing
them to ratiiy franchise steals, farm
out the inspectorships to his poltica
creditors, let public contracts TO tn,
highest bidders for the benefit of fu
yored contractors; while our city,
treasury was being bankruptcd by
these eXtravagant practices, the Dem
ocratic officials whom the Dobson pa
per condemns were doing their utmos
TO prevent the Car from forcing lii
ruinous policies upon the people.
We call upon the fairness of Akron't
citizens, and their knowledge of tn,
history of their city's administration
for the last three years, to bear wit
ness TO this fact
The record of three years of ProX,
government, which seeks TO vindicat
itself by obtaining two years mor
of power, Is on trial before the peopl
in this campaign.
And it Is to be hoped that the iv
thousand Republican citizens of Ak

ton to the doubling organ.

The Beacon's exploitation of the kind
words which Mayor Young had the
grace to say of the Republican can
didate for Mayor Is sample of
the political breadth and fairness Of
that organ. Simply because the Dem
Ocratic leaders do not call the Repub-
lican candidates 'cut-throats. thieves,
and law-breakers," as the Democratic
nominees are being called by some of
their opponents, the Beacon, in its dull
way, construes the forbcarance of its
Democratic ncighbors to be an endorse
