Hon. John P. Jones Declares Mark
viii Be President.
lays HE'S A POOR ABUSED SENATOR
The Bold, Bad Democrats Have
Painted Him Blacker Than
tie Really Is.

II will wager you a dollar" said the
Hon. John p. Jones, to a News Demo-
Frat reporter, Saturday morning, while
IN Canton, that in 1904 Mark Hanna
will be nominated for president. And
I'll bet another dollar that he will be
ilected.'
what makes you think So" asked
lhe reporter.
well. it's Just this way. Mark has
been painted SO black by his enemies
that when the people see him they find
he is not as bad as represented. The
TACT is that he makes nice appearance
Ind Is a good speaker. I heard him
Ind Joe Foraker talk from the Same
platform, and he made Just as good a
speech as Foraker did, and you know
Foraker Is quite a talker.
THE people have come to look upon
Hanna as q much abused person, and
this feeling will grow. You will see a
great change In the sentiment toward
him by '03 or o. Then there will be
back Of him unlimited wealth. The
business interests will favor him, and
he will get that support. Mark is a
slick duck and a ready speaker. He
will be given credit for a great deal of
the prosperity Of the country, and If 1t
continues until 1904 the people will de-
mand the man who so materially aided
in bringing 1t about.
Mark is closely allied with the ship
ping interests of the country. His ship
subsidy bill, which contemplates the en-
1argement of American commerce, will
win to his support the influence of the
eastern shippers. With the expansion
of our foreign trade, the country will
become more prosperous, and the people
who are reaping the benefits will want
to reward the man who so materially
aided in bringing 1t about.
'Then there is another thing. Mark

of the Company.

r. S. Shields, attorney for the Stark
County Telephone company. was In
Louisville Friday night and appeared
before the council of that village in the
interests of the ordinance granting the
franchise. The ordinance as originally
passed included toll station and ex-
change, but as some Of the citizens
thought 1t would not be keeping faith
with the Bell company to have another
exchange established Mr.. Shields
agreed to have the ordinance so amend
ed 1t was reported favorably by the
committee and read-for the first time.
but on the motion to suspend the rules
and allow its second reading, only four
votes were received, so the ordinance
will have to go through the regular rou
tine before 1t is finally passed.
General Manager George s. Walton,
of the telephone company. stated to
News Democrat reporter Saturday
morning that the intention of the COM
pany is to build a line to every post
Office in Stark and Carroll counties, and
in every town or village that would war
rant an exchange would be put in.
"The line between Massillon and ALI
ance." said Mr.. Walton. via Canton

The material for it's erection Is in tran
sit and as soon as it arrives large
force of men will be put to work"
This company which will operate in
Stark and Carroll counties, is but a
part of general plan to occupy large
section of territory. An Independent

Jacob Hane. had also been merchants
in our city. Mr.. Kimball did very
large business and finally built the store
room now used by George II. Spangler
on the east side of South Market street
square. 1t was considered at the time
of building as being a mammoth af-
fair An addition has since been put
in the rear end, but the front Is almost
as when first built.
James Hazlett kept store for many
years in the building on the southeast
corner of the public square, and known
as the Mckinley block. Mr.. Hazlett was
the first to build there. 1t was originally
only a two-story brick, only running
south as far as the Andrews bakery,
Where Mr.. Andrews Is now located
stood a two-story frame building used
by Mr.. HaZlett as a wareroom in con-
nection with his store. The store room
on the corner was not quite as wide as
that now occupied by Mr.. Sweitzer's
bank. The balance of the house was
used by the Hazlett family as a resi-
dence. The late Hon. Isaac Hazlett,
for some years probate judge, was a son
of James Hazlett, as was also the late
DR.. William l.. Hazlett. of Pittsburg.
The family consisted of four sons, Will
liam, Isaac, James and Robert, and two
daughters, Mary and Emma, the latter
IL the only one yet living. and is at this
time visiting in Canton among friends.
After the property got into the hands
of Mr.. Saxton and Mr. Mckinley the
building was extended south to the
Bockius building and all made three
stories high, since which time 1t has
been known as the Mckinley block. For
some time after Mr.. Hazlett quit the
mercantile business the storeroom was
not occupied. In 1S49 rented said room
from Mr. Hazlett and had it enlarged
and then moYed from Massillon to Can
ton and continued business in said room
| ten years, until sold out to my former
clerks, Meyer and Fisher. who continued
there for some years.
The store of William Christmas was
in a one-story frame building that stood
about where the east entrance to our
present court house Is. and the late
Isaac Harter. Sr.. was his most reliable
helper.
George Stidger had his store near the
middle of the east side Of the public
square. and William Fogle had his store
on the northeast corner of the public
square. where w, d. Caldwell & Co. now
are located. The building was an ordi-
nary two-storv frame.
| What impressed me Is the fact that
out of the seven original proprietors of
tanneries In Canton, six OF them should
also have been In the dry goods business

Is saying: Come boys. get together.
There are no differences between us.
There is more In It for you if you all
come into the camp
ut Is human nature, you know, when
a fellow can get into the trough with

wonderfully in earnest when making
