lecting him as Democratic candidate
believe that the fact that Mr. Hay mas
been a resident of Akron for only a
few years, will have influence on his
campaign. Since Mr.. Hay has been
in this city he has established a repu-

gentleman capable of discharging the
duties of a member of Council WITH
ability and with honor.

schools of that county. He resided

he is still engaged. Mr.. Hay is vice
president of the Summit City Machine
Co. He owns three houses on East
Buchtel ave-, in one of which he re-
sides with his family. The other two
houses are occupied by Mr.. Hays son,

this year with much more strength
than Is required to win. Mr.. Bishop
is also popular in his ward, and will
pull through with Mr.. Callahan.
Councilman Joseph Winum, who as
pires to reelection from the Fourth
ward, is one of the best Councilmen
the city ever had. He is well posted

miliar with the best methods of con-
Quoting public business. When he has
anything to say in Council, he says
it, never parleying long before striking
at the point.
