WHOLESALE
VACCINATION
State Health Board Uru-
es It to Stop SMALL

Several notices have been received
by loca! manufacturers and city Of
ficers urging general vaccination of
employees of workshops, and pupils in
the public schools. They are sent out
by the state health department.
The smallpox situation throughout
the state has become alarming. Over
16,o00 cases Of smallpox have been re-
ported to the board since 1898, and
1853 during the last weels, with
70 deaths. Nearly all the railroads
have acquiesced in a request made by
the board some time ago for yaccina-
tion of railway employees.
The disease is still raging in Colum-
bus, and to make matters worse scarlet
fever, of a virulent type, has become
epidemic and diphtheria has become
quite prevalent. The state health de-
partment is confronted by herculean
task in battling against the three dis
eases. but believes relief will come
with the advent of warm weather.

Robert o. Mesnar. the present chief

by Eews-Democra reporter and ask

visited the city the chief recalled a
few incidents of past times.
"The first big fire within my men,

AND PROGRESS
Priest Tells Knights of
CoIum bus Their
Relation.

Rev. Father Treiber, pastor of St
Joseph's chapel and chaplain Of the
X of c. lodge in this city in re-
sponse to the toast, Church and Our
Order" at X. of C. banquet Sunday,
said in brief: "1he Catholic church in
America is passing from infancy and
adolescence to maturity. 1t is the duty
of her present sons and leaders to 1e-
ceive lessons from the past and give
promise of the future.
Always consistent, always con-
servative. the church is ever progress
sive. Her mission is, primarily, to
lead souls to God, inculcate morals
and religious truth, to spread justice,
charity and benevolence and every
virtue and thus to ameliorate the nat
'ural condition of mankind.
"There is no progress without edu-
cation; no education without morale
ty. The church Is the teacher OF these
and is the parent and prime mover in
material and social progress.
The church is expansive. This Is
inherent in her nature and character.
Her mission Is to reach out and bring
in the masses. Her motto is ever,
Onward and Upward These are the
principals on which the order of the
knights OF Columbus was founded
and destined by Providence for a
great mission.
THE society, though yet in its in
fancy. numbers among its ranks the
brightest and most intelligent men Of
the church, doctors. lawyers, public
men. in every walk of life.
Zone of the noble aims of the order
Is to foster Catholic education for all
of her young men. The order aims
to have intelligent Catholic men be-
cause she knows that intelligence
means power; power means influence;
influence means success, and success
means victory. The mission of the
order is q grand and noble one. II 10

Saturday was the hottest political
contest ever known in the city of
: Canton. Aa total of 1850 votes were
polled, which was the largest ever
known at primary in the city. All
through the contest Saturday there
was intense excitement and much bad
blood. Many of the politicians in
their anxiety to win, attempted to run
lin Democratic voters and it is said
that scores of them succeeded in de-
posting their ballots without being
challenged. Dozens of others, how
ever, were headed off and in the first
ward personal encounters almost re-
suited.
SMITH OUTRUN HIMSELF.
While it was expected that Smith
would win, he ran ahead of the ex-
pectations of his most ardent support
ers. The factional fight became 50
hot that Candidates Good, Robinson
and Lichtenwalter were deserted by
some of their friends in order to try
to down one or the other of the two
factions fighting for the control of the
party.
LOYDS DEFEAT.
The greatest surprise was the defeat
of City Clerk C. c. Lloyd. who was
running for practically his second
term. He was the victim of the feel
ing against the present city govern
ment. It is notable that except where
there was no opposition, no one con-
nected with the city government was
nominated.
At the beginning of the contest for
city auditor, it. was supposed that
Lloyd had a walkaway, but during the
last week of the fight it developed
that Ashbrook had strong following
and a good organization. Even then
!, it was thought that the fight would be
close but Lloyd would win. The mar
gin by which Ashbrook pulled
through was narrow one.
PUBLIC SERVICE.
For member of board of public sery-
ice John Krause ran away from tho
deld. There was close fight for the
the other two positions among several
other candidates, but Reinhold and
Ferguson pulled through, with George
Rex a very close competitor.
There was not much interest in the
contest for councilmen at large Their 9
were three to nominate and but four
candidates. The three nominated
were men who had more or less cx-
perience in politics. yet Sirigar ran
we'll UP with the bunch.
CITY TREASURER.
There was considerable feeling
manifested in the fight for city treas
uier. There was a story current that
County Treasurer Snyder had been
brought out by certain faction and
this was used against him at the nom
nation. He was said to be the board
of trade candidate Bidwell made an
active canvass end won by good
margin.
The three old members of the
school board were nominated by q
large vote. Two were for their sec
ord terms, while Major Frank Baird
was running for third term.

Representative Slayden of Texas is in
Washington and reports that in his Sec
tion of the country sentiment is very
evenly divided between Judge Parker Of
New York. Senator German and Richard
Olney of Massachusetts for the demo-
cratic presidential nomination. Ex-Sen-
ator Hill, Mr.. Slayden regards as i'm
possible because Of his position on the
income tax and his apathy in the cam
paign of 1896. He also mentioned Ed
ward M. Shepard as possible candidate
and one whom he believed would be
we'll supported. Referring to Mr.. Bryan
Mr.. Slayden said that there was no man
in political life who had larger per-
sonal following and that he would prove
an important factor in the convention
there being no hope for candidate who
could not secure Mr.. Bryan's endorse
ment. Personally the "gen tleman from
Texas" favors Senator German, whom
he regards as an able and conservative
man and one who would command tthe
support of the business interests of the
country. Mr.. Slayden said MIR. German
favored moderate tariff revision.
