The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1903-05-29

COLUMBUS. May 26.-The Social
~ lists are to gather about the fes-
tai board in this city Saturday next.
and grand session is promised by the
state officers. It Is known fact
voters who claim to be Of this party
after endorsing their candidates i'm
mediately turn around eft The polls and
vote for either the Democratic or Re-
publican nominees. This was evil
denced at East Liverpool a few years
ago when some forty Socialists met
in convention and agreed to q man to
stand by their ticket, but when the
timc Of testing came, not more than
bakers dozen Socialist votes were
cast. However, these chaps are going
to have a state ticket this year. and
they are going to form their slate here
within a few days That Is about
all that can be said about them.
The action Of the Stark county con-
veDtion In instructing their delegates
to use all honorable means to secure
the nomination Of School Master
Jones for the position Of state school
commissioner was read with more
than usual interest In this section.
There are now four candidates In the
field, and 1t is the general belief that
this will be all, at least II is. enough
to make an interesting fight. There
being four candidates in as many diff
ferent parts of the state proves the
statement that there is going to be
one of the hottest fights for this posi-
tion ever made in any previous state
Republican convention. Bonebrake
and who seeks the third setting is
making the fight Of his life. AS a
matter OF fact he has lfeuten-
ants working In his behalf through
out the state, but whether or not they
will be able to accomplish their un-
dertaking in securing sufficient num-.
Der Of delegates to win the coveted
prize remains to be told later. The
fight is on in earnest, and delegates
from each district where the candidate
resides are being instructed for the
home candidate. Let the fight 60 mer-
rily on and may the best man win,
rs the windy prize fighters say.
]. c. Heinlein, Of Bridgeport, on
Saturday defeated Hon. Charles How
ard. of GAINESVILLE, for senator at the.
Belmont county primaries, winning,
BY q majority OF over 1,000. The An
ti-Saloon league fought Heinlein Both
candidates are sx-membefs of. the leg
islature. Under the unit rule, adopted
recently, the winner names the seutire
county senatorial delegation. From
all indications Heinlein will win one
of the two nominations which will be
made by the Wellsville convention
Belmont county controls the situation
and can make 1t possible for either
Columbiana or Jefferson county to
get one OF the nominations. Jeffer-
son and Columbiana are so far apart
that they will not unite and the one
belmont goes to will win. Connell is
Crlumbiana's candidate, and Duvall,
yenerson's. Thursday is convention
day.
The action of Butler, Stark, Frank
lin and Harding in instructing for
Auditor Of State Guilbert Saturday
makes almost certain his nomination
for third term. With these addi-

for choice. From the way matters
now appear Gillette, of Newark, Gull
bert's only opponent, will hardly have
even a look-in.
