The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1903-04-10


the municipal election in Cleveland
and Cinnati have put new aspect on
the gunernatorial situation. Mayor
Tom Johnson's reelection in Cleve-
land, in the opinion of many, makes
him the logical candidate for the
Democratic nomination for governor,
while the overwhelming victory
achieved by Mayor Fleischman, of Gin
cinnati, over his Democratic opponent,
President Ingalls,, of the Big Four rail-
road, has given rise to speculation as
to the advisability Of his being eau
didate for the Republican guberna-
toIial nomination. The results In
these cities were especially gratifying
TO these two candidates. Johnson's
plurality over Goulder. Republican,
was close to 5000, and Fleischman's
plurality was the greatest ever given
any mayoralty candidate In Cincinnati.
1t is believed here that IL ingalls, had
won he would have been candidate
for governor, but he now declares
Johnson to be the logical candidate
and offers him his support.
Johnson's victory is great blow to
feet on his candidacy for governor. 1t
was freely declared about the state
capital yesterday that 1t practically
lifted him out of the race and that
the sequel would be the re-entrance of
Congressman Dick into the lists again.
One admirer of the Akron statesman,
prominent state official, said the
situation had resolved itself into what
it was before Dick was forced out TO
make way for Herrick. Until the lat
ter was brought out Dick had every
thing his own way. Dick stock is ex.
pected to rise now. The victory Of
Jeffery, Republican candidate for
rSyor, over Mayor Hinkle, Democrat,
of this city, was decisive, his plurality
being over 3,100. The Democrats,
however, captured four important Of
fees, namely president of council,
treasurer, police judge and member Of
board of public service and number
of councilmen.
Golden Rule" Jones, of Toledo,
| seems to have life lease on the may
crafty chair Of that city. His elec-
tion to I'LL that office on Monday was
for the fourth consecutive time. The
local papers boycotted him to the ex-
tent Of not referring to him in any
way and to exploit his candidacy he
Engaged a brass band and a quartet of
singers and with these made a thor
ough canvass. His plan proved to lie
very effective.
