Dicks political standing was obtain
ed through the friendship which the
late President Mckinley bore him.
The latter had great confidence in
Dicks managerial ability and 1t was
in Difference to his wishes that the
latter was installed as chairman OF
the Republican state committee. His
success as a campaign manager has
enabled him to perpetuate himself in
the craftsmanship position. Should he
stand for the governorship he, of
course, would relinquish the chair
manship. The properties of the oc-
casion would demand this. but he
would relinquish the control of the
Office. He would designate some per-
son as his successor. who in reality
would only be the titular head of the
committee. Dick would remain the
real head.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1902-12-19

These and other motives are being
imputed to the willy Akronion and
there is probably basis for some OF
them. Some Republicans are ques-
tioning the expediency of Dicks being
candidate. They fear it may have
an adverse effect on the complexion of
The next legislature. This gives rise
TO the belief that Senator Hanna.
while he would not interpose any OBJ
lection, does not fall heartily in line
with the candidacy Of Dick II is not
probable that it was he who first sug-
gested that the latter be a candidate
at this time. However, Dick a.. has
promised to yield to the entreaties of
a over-anxious public by giving out 4
signed statement defining his coarse

days.

The right to name the state chair
man is usually conceded to the can
didate leading the ticket and there
would be no exception made in Dick 5
case should his name be at the top
Various reasons are assigned for the
announcement of Dicks candidacy.
Some regard it as but tentative-put
forth in the nature of a "feeler" to
sound public sentiment Others i'm
pute it to move to start a guberna-
torial boom which is calculated to
sweep over the state with irresistible
force, and that the passing out of the
word was but a cue to bring about
such spontaneity, the fact that Dick
has a press agent at Washington in
the person of Editor Reynolds, of
Akron, who has served several terms
as chief of the literature bureau at
state headquarters at Columbus dur
ing several campaigns, gives color to
this opinion.

BETTER WAGES on FARMS

The boom in farm products and high
prices being realized from the grain
grown in this State has brought plenty
of money into circulation. One mer-
chant declares that farmers are paying
up all the bills they owe and that one
man paid an account of nearly ten years.
standing. The piano, sewing machine
and book men are busy. Now the situ-
alton of higher priced labor confronts
the tiller of the soil and is too live a
question to bury. Wages are rapidly
advancing and experienced farm workers
have recently been raised to $18 per
month. The real "men behind the
pillow" claim that even this is not nearly
enough pay, and that the farmers of New
Jersey are paying from $25 to $35 for men
who have good heads on their shoulders
and can do the work. As result of
this, some of the best farm workers, un-
less offered inducements to remain, will
leave for other soil early in the spring.
Understanding the situation, number
of farmers have contracted with reliable
men for an entire year and at consider
ably advanced wages. 1t is the first time
in years that farm laborer could speak
out in meeting or be master of the situa-
tion.

"BEN HUR"

All who have seen the Klaw & Erlangel
dramatization of Gen. Lew Wallace's
''Ben Hur" agree that stagecraft has
done its utmost to create splendid stage
pageant. General Wallace himself has
struck the keynote of the intentions OF
Klaw & Erlanger in these words: II
have been trying to devise play which
any Christian person, man or woman,
might attend without violence to the
conscience, or without shocking any
principle. think that has been accom-
plished, and / may invite the whole
Christian world to see this performance. :"
Every detail of the book, with the ex-
ception of the Crucifxion chapter, has
been followed out exactly as laid down
in Gen. Wallace's wonderful tale. De-
scriptions which the author gives are
followed with absolute fidelity. The
scene painters, the costume designers,
and the stage mechanics have caught the
real atmosphere of the Holy Land in the
time of the Messiah. The chariot race is
more than realistic. It is real. The
spectators are seemingly a part of the
throng that sat in the amphitheatre at
antioch. The eight high-spirited horses
race as truly as did ever horses in the
dust of the hippodrome, and when "Ben
Hur'' wins, and the stage populace lifts
up tumultuous cry, those in the theatre
join in the cheers.
Never in the history of a stage has a
dramatic production caused popular
interest even approaching that of "Ben
Hur". 1t stands in a class by itself, sep
arate and distinguished. The business
illustrate this and surpass any
thing recorded in the history of the
world. Witness: the gross receipts for
one week at st. Louis, was $27, 101.0 90;
and for three weeks over $67, 100000.
These figures are stunning, and almost
beyond comprehension, yet they accur-
ately and forcefully tells the story of the
wonderful success of the Klaw & Erlan-
ger stage version of Gen. Lew Wallace's |
amous novel.
In view of the wonderful charm and |
iignity of this production, and the wide
pread interest clearly evident on every
ide, it is gratifying news to publish
eturn engagement at the Chestnut Street
opera House, Philadelphia, beginning
January 14th. The theatre was
losed' Monday night, January 18th.
N account of the extensive preparations
lecessary for the stupendous biblical
pectacle. There are ninty-six hanging
ieces in the scenic display and more
han eight hundred costumes are worn in
be development of the story, and all are
exceeding beauty. The chariot race
squires special foundations laid in
sment, and compose a weight on the ,
age of over forty tons. It would be
ell for those who desire to see this ,
Imous play to secure seats in advance, !
J the sale is enormous. Ben Hur Clubs

REVOLT IN woRKHousE

Whether the prisoners in the county
Workhouse have been told that Warden
Meserve is feeding them on fraction
less than eight cents a day each, or
whether the.inmates of the institution are
not getting enough to satisfy the pangs of
hunger, is not known, but about 1O5 of
them revolted Monday because of the
cheap food furnished, and for a time it
looked as if there was going to be SER
lous outbreak. Only the~prompt work
and strong nerve of Guard Wiggles-
worth and another guard checked the
mad rush of the mob that threatened to
do bodily harm to Warden Meserve,
whom they charge with not giving them
sufficient food. They allege that they
were given musty corn meal mush and
molasses for breakfast and that their food
is getting worse all the time. If the con-
Victs had succeeded in getting their hands
upon Mr.. Meserve it is said they would
have done him serious if not fatal injury.
TROUBLE BEGAN AT BREAKFAST
The convicts showed their displeasure
at breakfast time when they alleged that
the mush was musty. There was mutter-
ings and black looks in abundance as they
were marched from the mess room to the
work room. Here one of the colored
men became So. loud in his denunciation
OF the food that Warden Meserve was
sent for and took the mutinous negro
down into the cells. This infamed the
sullen minds of the angry men and great
confusion followed.
Come on, you damn towards, are you |
going to stand this ?'' was shouted, and |
the cry was taken up and repeated.
A rush was made for the retreatinp |
warden, but Guard Wigglesworth and |
the other assistant placed their backs
against the door and resolutely faced |
the mob. Their nerve calmed the con-
Victs and they mutteringly returned to
their machines.
There are about lis prisoners employed
in the sewing room and many of them
he desperate characters who would not
hesitate to shed blood on the slightest
oretext.
John Lynn and several more of the
'ooler heads and more respectable in
mates, took no part in the revolt.
Although happenings in the workhouse
10 not, as a rule, become known, the
hort term prisoners have taken reports
o Wilmington that allege of poor and
canty supply of food. 1t is said to have
o embittered the prisoners against War
len Meserve that it is necessary to watch
hem at all times in order to avoid an
ther outbreak. The leaders of Mon
Lay's trouble will be punished for the
'art they took in melting the others to |
