Arrangements have been made fol-

There seems to be tendency among
the Democrats OF Canton to get as far
away from the old silver doctrine as
possible. What is wanted and what is
needed is some good ground upon which
the party can be reunited. The silver
theory drove lot of conservative bus
mess men of the party They are
ready to come back any time the old
lines are reestablished. This year the
conservative element will try to assert
itself not only in Canton, but all over
the country. Bryan himself has given
It out that the silver plank will not be
insisted upon. 1t Is the only hope Of
the party. "A house divided against
itself cannot stand" That is good
scripture and was the text from which
Lincoln at one time preached a politi-
cal sermon. 1t should be impressed up
on the party today.
1t may not be pleasant to admit, yet
the history of the Democratic party in
Stark county shows that the division
upon the silver question was a fatal
one. The Democrats had full power
in Stark county and in Canton as we'll.
While they occasionally lost an cleo
ton, when united they had the situa-
tion well in hanG. The situation dur
ing the last few years has been lament
able. The party is not represented by
a single official either in the county or
the city with the exception of a few
councilmen and member of the board
of public service. 1t is not that the Re-
publicans have grown so strong, but
that the Democracy has allowed itself
to disintegrate. What is needed is an
annealing process that will get the
party together and give it a temper and
solidity that will hold it.
1t is well known that in the elections
of the past, when nominations did not
go TO suit one faction, they would,
without making an open bolt sit Idly

of the old line Democrats that want to
get into harness again. They should be !
given every opportunity to do SO. They |
claim that they never left the party

they always stood-but that the party
left them. This question has been ar
gued bitterly for years. Instead of |
