WILL NEED A SOLID
DELEGATION TO WIN
Should Stark Fall TO Give Her
Full Support to One Man,
Taylsr Would Have Llt-
tie Difficulty.

II local politicians are to be be-
lieved, Stark county may yet produce
a candidate for the congressional nom-
ination in opposition to the Hon. r.
w. Tayler. According to the talk
among local men this week, the fact
that the entries closed in Mr.. Tay-
leris home county before the fellows
in Stark and Mahoning got their sec
ond wind, will not in any way inter-
fere with the original program here.
1t was never the intention, according
to the Stark county fellows, to go into
Tayler's own county and make q fight
for delegates. The opponents to the
present incumbent claim they are per-
fectly satisfied with the present situ-
alton in the district.
1t is a fact that there are half a
dozen or more persons in Stark county
who would like to make a try for the
If they could have a clear
field at home, but no one of them
wants to go into the fight with two or
three others and divide up Stark's 8
delegation and engender the bitterness
that would naturally result from such
a contest. '''..'
MORGAN A POSSIBILITY.
The fact is we'll known that w. II.
of Alliance, has ambitions to
the district in the lower
house. This has already been ex-
plotted in the News-Democrat through
Its Columbus correspondent. The ell
der Morgan met defeat for congress be-
cause, it is said, he was of foreign
birth and had the opposition of the
secret societies that favor only ma
tive born Americans for public Off
COS. This would not be used against
the son, as he was born in this coun-
try.
The Hon. G. G. Bow, of Canton, is
mentioned by his friends.
He has been a congressional possibll-
ity for. number OF years and is said
to be willing to make fight for the
place il he can get the support of his
own county. Mr.. Bow has been promi-
nent in county, district and state poll
tics for number of years and it has
been understood that sometime his
ambition to go to congress would re-
ceive recognition at the hands of his
party friends.
TAYLOR'5 FRIENDS INSISTENT.
But there is also possibility ~ a
conflict of names IL the situation
should shape itself properly. There are
those who insist that Judge Isaac H.
Taylor should be returned to congress
The judge had one term in the dis
trict south, while he lived in Car
roll county. That was when the redis-
trictfng bill had taken CarrOT away
from Stark and placed her In with
Harrison, jefferson, Belmont, and
Monroe. BY the time his first term
had expired, Carroll had been switch
ed back to the old district and Mr..
Taylor and the late William Mckinley
were both up for denomination. Mr..
Taylor had had but one term. Major
had been to congress several
Times. The judge showed his mag
by withdrawing from the
contest and Carroll's delegates went
% Mr.. Mckinley.
While Judge Taylor has not said
hat he Is a candidate, some of his
friends have mentioned his claims.
Should there be contest for the nomi-
nation between these two gentlemen
The similarity of their names would
doubtless lead to no little confusion.
JUDGE FAWCETT'S CHANCES.
