HARPOON A 4.
SINKS DEEP
Into vitais Of Gill Faction
at SteubcnvIlle.
Special to the News-Democrat.

special TO the NeWS-DemOcTat.
Columbus. o., Oct. 14.-Chairman
Dick, of the Republican state executive
committee, is driving the harpoon deep
into Congressman GILL; Monday even
ing Secretary of State L. c. Laylin,
acting in the Monroe county Repub-
lican squabble, decided that the ticket
nominated by the Mooney-Mallory fac
tion, and not the one named by the
Rouse faction, should go on the state
ballot.
Rouse is the Gill representative and
the decision is direct slap at the
Steubenville statesman. His friends
are exceedingly wrothy over the re-
suit. They declare no valid grounds
exist for the decision and are bitter
in denouncing what they term q
| fragrant miscarriage of justice. They
maintain the Rouse ticket was the
regular one and that the ticket named
by the other side and, which goes on
the ballot, represents mugwump ele-
ment made up of Republicans and
Democrats. Mallory, they claim, has
been both Republican and a Demo-
crat, as the occasion best suited his
purposes, and they want to know
what under high heaven the state au-
thorities mean by dipping into fac
| tional fight which should be settled
by the parties directly involved them
selves.
When Secretary of State Laylin re-
moved Jacob McVey chairman of the
Monroe county election board, and ap-
pointed C. o. Harper, Of Woodsfeld,
to fill the vacancy, the Rouse people
realized it was all day with them
McVey's removal was because of re-
| fusal, 1t is claimed, to transmit to
| Laylin the official records dealing
with the controversy. Two members
of the board voted to place the Rouse
ticket on the ballot, one not voting
and one voting against. Daylin holds
that it takes three to decide, and If
this majority is not forthcoming, he
has authority to step in and decide the
question.
A. l.. Bates an attorney from Woods
field, came here Tuesday to represent
Rouse, but when he learned McVey had
been removed he threw up his hands
in disgust. For some months Dick
and Gill have been engaded in the
pleasant pastime Of trying with might
and main to inhume each other in the
political graveyard.

tober 81 and 90. The first day will be

Four months in Jail was the sem
tence pronounced upon Joseph P.
Monnot, OF Canton, by Judge Francis
w. Wing at Cleveland Tuesday after
noon, Monnot having pleaded guilty
to the charge of stealing a letter con-
tain0ng money from the United States
mails while on duty as registry clerk
in the Canton postoffice.
Monnot made no defense, but threw
himself upon the mercy of the court.
Judge Wing listened to the plea and
took into consideration the fact that
the prisoner had always borne good
reputation and had dependent upon
him a wife and five small children.
There was no disposition upon the
part OF the postoffice authorities to in
sist upon a more severe sentence, and
1t was by the tacit consent of the pros
ecution that the sentence was made so
light But one offense was taken in
to consideration, and that was of the
taking of the decoy letter which was
placed in the mails for the purpose
of catching Monnot.
While the man admitted to purloin-
ing other missives, this fact was nol
taken into consideration either in the
finding of the Indictment or In the
prosecution Of the case. Judge Wing
In passing sentence stated that the
court was inclined to be merciful, taxi
ing all things into consideration, and
expressed the hope that the experience
would prove salutary lesson.
Recently In Canton a great deal of
sympathy has been expressed for Mrs.
Monnot. who has been lefts practically

the meeting at Navarro.
INVITED POLLOCK.

When informed of the route chosen,
the mayor made special request that
Robert A. Pollock be invited to at
tend all three meetings in the vicinity
of his home. 1--WE will be pleased to
have that man Pollock with us at each
meeting, and | would be delighted to
divide time with him, in his own ma
tive village of North Lawrence" said
Johnson. Deweese, Pollock's opponent
will speak in all these places with the
mayor, and will direct his argument
to Pollock's record in the state legis-
latuTe. Invading the very hot-bed Of
Republican dissension in the senatorial
fight, the mayor will be greeted with
immense crowds. The gubernatorial
candidate is especially pleased that he
may speak to the coal miners of the
county.
On his trip to Navarro, 1t is possible
that a short meeting will be held at
Pigeon Run, a coal mining center.
Leaving Navarro the party will go
to Massillon for supper and arrive in
Canton in time for reception with
local Democrats of prominence. The
tent outfit will arrive in this city
shortly after o'clock in the morning
and will be erected on the site within
short time.

GOES TO CARROLL.

The mayors trip into Carroll will be
short, as he is compelled to return to
Cleveland for an evening meeting. 1t
had been decided to omit little Carroll
entirely, but protests by the score came
from the Democrats down there, and
the state chairman decided that Carroll
must be invaded by all means.
An effort is being made to secure Hal
De Rand, Democratic orator of the
northwest, to speak at the meeting IL
Louisville, which takes place on the
same day as the mayors tour in this
county. The French speaker will de-
liver his discourse in the native Ian
guage, while Mr.. De Rand will speak
in English.
Several thousand Autographs of
Mayor Tom and Candidate Clarke, and
hundreds of buttons will be spread
broadcast through the two counties. AS
usual the mayor desires that there be
no bSPds nor red fire professions.
Col. c. j. Wagner, after completing
all arrangements, left for Cincinnati
Wednesday morning. Mr.. Wagner is
encouraged over the situation and
promises great surprises for the conf
dent Republican managers. "One thing
