John II. Clarke addressed a small
audience in this Republican stronghold
Friday night. Mr.. Clarke came unat-
tended from Bellevue, where he spoke
during the afternoon at the corner
stone laying of public library. No
other speakers were invited to parti-
cipate in the meeting and Mr.. Clarke
was introduced informally.
Mr.. Clarke started out by saying that
he was well aware that he had for an
adversary man well voiced in what
was called the game of practical poll
tics. He said'he had not had much ex-
perience in that and did not care for it.
"Mr. Hanna has large privilege and
wealth and will nave much more at his
command during the campaign"
said Mr.. Clarke. II must depend for
my strength in this campaign in the
principles l represent and strength of
the men who are back of them.
"Our critics say our platform is one
of fads and isms. | deny this charge
and declare that they are not fads
and isms, but sound, sane, sensible,
program for a change in Ohio house
keeping"
To show that the Democratic party
had a man at the headaof its ticket
who would carry out his promises Mr..
Clarke cited Mr.. Johnson's fight on
eight Democrats of the last legislature
who voted for the curative act and
whom Mr.. Johnson said should not be
returned. Not one of the eight" said
Mr.. Clarke, have been renominated"
Newark, o., Sept. 19.-Though the
mercury was near the freezing point
Tom L. Johnson's circus tent was filled
with an attractive audience that cheered
the Democratic gubernatorial candidate
as he argued the campaign issues.
Mayor Johnson's ready answers to
all questions and his frank manner
appealed to his hearers. He devoted
his time largel yto Hanna, Cox, 2-cent
fare, equal taxation and the new muni-
cipal code. He praised Hanna as
c--iZen, but condemned him as a poll
tician. He scored the Republican lead
ers for the passage of the municipal
code and praised the nine Republican
members who refused to vote for it.

BOYS
Set Fire to Escaping Gas In
Mahoning Street.

Wv
Mahoning Street.
Gas escaping from the mains on
Pennsylvania avenue, in the vicinity
of Mahoning street. was set afire by a
number of boys Friday night, and in a
few minutes the street for 100 yards
was a mass of flames. The hard road
bed was plowed up Friday. preparatory
to laying a new sewer and workmen
discovered gas seeping through the
earth in several places.
Nothing was thought of the matter
and in the evening a number of small
boys discovered the leakage and at once
threw lighted matches in the street
The flames arose and at one time it was
thought necessary to call the fire de-
partment.
Until the ground was plowed up, the
gas could not penetrate the hard road
bed. and as a result the company Off
cials never learned of the leakage
WOrkmen were sent to repair the mains
Saturday morning.
