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

County Chairman Agler, to repre-
sentative of Pittsburg paper, has
made the statement that the indorse-
ment of Roosevelt by the Stark coun-
ty convention was made without refer
ence to the views of either Hanna or
Foraker. He explains that the ac-
ton of the convention in this partic-
ular was simply manifestation of
the sentiment which exists in this
county in favor of the administration
1t is evident that Mr.. Agler's ap-
preaching retirement from the lime
light has inspired him with boldness.
His disregard of the wishes of the
state bosses might otherwise not, be
so freely expressed. -

Hanna's Change of Front.

At first glance it appears that Han.
mas apparent back-down on the
Roosevelt Endorsement proposition Is
an unqualified victory for Mr.. Foraker
firstly, and secondly for the admin
istration and a dizzy blow for Hanna
himself. But little analysis of the
situation reveals the fact that Hanna
is after all on the inside track and il
is the president himself who appears
at disadvantage, gst4s u
Right along Roosevelt has chung ten
aciously to principle of letting the Of
Gee seek the mans In HIS walla Wana
statement Roosevelt said he had asked
NO man for his support and that he
had nothing to do with raising the
And now when the ink is hardly dry
and this manifesto he turns sQuarely
about and sends message to Hanna
asking for his Endorsement and that
of the state. Upon receipt of this, the
senator announces that he withdraws
his former objections and, in compli-
ance with the wish of the president,
will lend his influence to his indorse-
ment. 1t is noted that Hanna still re-
tains his objections to the Endorsement
at this time but that he is willing to
waive them in self-sacrificing sort of
way in order to comply with the pres
ident's expressed wish. 1t is further
noted that the followers of Hanna,
having clear insight into the situa-
ton, are still opposed to the indorse-
ment and may make this opposition
felt at the proper time.
So 1t transpires that willy Mark has
effected a very clever coup. He has
not changed his personal views in the
matter and has placed the president
of the United States in the unbecoming
attitude of suppliant. AS for Forak-
er, the change in Hannas front is none
of his making and Just why he should
be. made the recipient of bushels of
congratulatory messages is not quite
clear.

The only great and pressing question
which demands the attention of con-

of the tariff; but the party in power
has definitely refused to attend to that
matter and the calling of an extraor-

pose.
There is nothing but the tariff which
cannot wait until December and as for
the tariff that must perforce wait until
the people elect a tariff reform con-
