The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1902-08-22
The Democratic Candidates.

The Democratic Candidates.
The ticket that will be voted on at
the Democratic prmari,s Saturday
could not be improved upon. AS there
is but one candidate for each place,
il is safe to presume that the candi-
dates who have announced will be the
nominees. The fact that there is no
opposition will rob the primaries Of
their interest and light vote may
be expected. Yes Democrats enough
will go to the polls to make respect
able showing out of very pride for
the men who are to represent the party
at the polls this fall.
Since the publication of the names
of the candidates in the News-Demo.
crat Tuesday from all sides have been
heard words of communication. 1t Is a
ticket made up of men who are indI-
yidually strong in character and apil-
ity. II no effort whatever is made to
elect them, the personal strength OF
each individual member on the ticket
will draw largely from the Republican
ranks, and IL is safe to say that the
members of the minor parties will sup
port the Democratic nominees.
Charles Krichbaum, the nominee for
prosecuting attorney, is one of the best
known lawyers in Stark county. He
had for years been associated with
Judge Henry w. Harter, the partner
ship continuing until Mr.. Harter went
upon the common pleas bench. MIR.
krichbaum's ability as an orator is as
wide as the state. and he is the per-
sonal friend of almost every man in
Canton and has wide acquaintance in
the county. His personal character is
above criticism and his ability as an
attorney and his fidelity to duty are
sufficient guarantee that the office
would be filled acceptably to all If
Mr.. Krichbaum were elected in Novem-
ber.
II. B. Sibila, of Massillon, the can
didate for probate judge, is man
who is the idol of the laboring classes
and all union men in the west end OF
the county. He has been elected JUS
ticr of the peace in Massillon over
Republicans and from the very first it
had been conceded that he was the
man for probate judge. He has abil-
ity, character and popularity. In thi:
year when organized labor is asserting
Itself politically, Squire Sibila is an
especially strong man.
Jesse Testers, of Alliance, the can
didate for county commissioner, is a
man of considerable wealth. He is a
retired farmer and business man, aged
about 60 years, who is popular in his
home city. He would bring to the
commissioners Office that business
ability and integrity which made him
successful in his own individual affairs
He is just such a man as Is needed
in the county commissioners ofhce of
Sark county.
Louis Elsass, of Plan township, Is
as we'll known in Canton as though he
were within the city limits. He is a
practical man, one VINO has the conf
dence of all, and If he were mem
ber of the infirmary board the pubic
would not have to wait for the news
papers to- disclose the disgraceful con-
ditions that might exist in that insti-
tuition. Mr.. Elsass Will add strength
to the ticket.
For coroner, DR.. F. d. B-s.S-., OF
Canton, will be the nominee. He is
a young physician of ability and many
Republicans will forget party lines
and vote for him at the November
election.
The ticket taken all through is one
that has created some uneasiness
among Republicans even before it is
nominated. The Democracy may well
be proud of the men who will COM
pose her ticket this fall.
