Mr. Charles w. Palmer, the Demo-
cratic candidate for county commits
siOner, is one of the most prominent
and successful farmers of Lake town
ship, a section of the county which has
not been represented in the board OF
county commissioners for more thar
twenty-five years.
He was born of Democratic ancestry
in Green township. Summit county, in
1856, was reared on his fathers farm
and educated in the common schools
of his native township
In March, 1882, Mr.. Palmer together
with his newly welded wife moved
onto the farm in Lake township,
Stark county, which he soon after
ward bought and which he still owns
and occupies.
Although frequently importuned by
his many friends, Mr.. Palmer has al
ways steadfastly refused to become a
candidate for any county or state
Office, prefering to give his diligent
attention to his private affairs, rather
than assuming the duties and Iespon-
Nsibilities of public Office.
Mr.. Palmer was formidable can
didate for county commissioner at the

Kaufman.
Since the expiration of his term in
1897, he has practiced as a public ac-
countant and auditor on his own be-
half, with Offices in Canton, and is well
known among the members of that
profession throughout the state. He
is a member and director of The Ohio
State Society of Public Accountants
body of men who are deyoting their
lives to devising and installing sys-
TENS of account which lead to pro
gress and development in the great
financial and industrial undertakings
of the county; and among its members
are some of the most skilled account
ants the country has produced.
In June of last year Mr.. Kaufman
was called by the auditor of Tusca,
rawas county to supervise the work
of his Office, and he has since made
periodical visits to that county, and
had oversight of the work of that
office to the end of his term this year,
Strong sense Of justice, and firm
purpose are traits which characterize
his public as well as his private life
and the people are assured of having
a conservative official thorough
system of accounts, and business ad-
mnistration.

late Democratic county convention,
but refusing the earnest solicitations
Of his friends, he vetoed allowing his
name to be presented to the conven-
ton, but worked and voted for the
nomination of Mr.. GRADER.
Mr.. Palmers strict business hon
esty, his integrity, frugality, and fault
less liberality have won for him the
profound esteem of the community
and all who know him.
Always ready and willing to remu-
nerate labor with the highest current
wages, the labOring people of the COM
munity recognize in Mr.. Palmer their
ideal employer and therefore stand
ever ready to respond to his call.
Should the voters of Stark county
elect Mr. Palmer to the Office of county
commissioner, the same conservative
business principles and judgment
whi,h have characterized his success
in private affairs will be exercised in
the management of the affairs of the
commissioners Office, and the people
of Stark county will have as much
cause for pride in their selection of
him as he will have for thanks to
them for the honor conferred and con-
| tidenCe manifested

Mr.. Gulling has never been a candi-
date for county Office but has served
the people of Nimishillen township
for a number of years as a member
of the township board of education,
during the last three years of which
time. he served as president of the
board
He is a man of unblemished char
aCter and enjoys the confidence of all
who know him and it is to his credit
that where he is known best his vote
will be the largest.
His character and ability alone is a
positive guarantee that if he is elected
to the important Office of infirmary
director, there will be no reckless
mis-management, and wantOn squan-
dering of public money during his
term Of office. This is matter of
such great importance to the tax pay
ers of Stark county, that only men
of sterling worth and fixed integrity,
such as Mr.. Gulling, should be elect
ed to office.

required under the law that the pro-
bate judge be a lawyer but the peo-
pie of Stark county would not think
of electing a man to the office of pro-
bate judge who was not an admitted
attorney. And yet it is just as highly
essential that the Office of clerk of
courts be filled with a lawyer as the
office of probate judge. In this re-
spect Mr.. Diehl has a decided advant-
age over his Republican opponent and
it is a matter that is well worth the
consideration of the voters in the
county.

In the election of county auditor,
the people should take more than a
passing interest He Is not only the
bookkeeper of the county, but he has
charge of all matters relating to the
assessment and distribution of taxes,
and on the question of taxes, every
one who lives under roof is inter
ested.
Mr.. J. II. Kaufman of Canton, the
nominee on the Democratic ticket
needs no introduction to the people
of Stark county. His parents came
to this county in 1865 and located
near Canal Fulton. When but twelve
years of age he was thrown upon his
own resources-his father having
come to an untimely death through
services in the civil war.
He took a course in civil engineer
ing and surveying, and when his fam
lily moved to Canton in 1889, he en-
gagged in the practice of that profess
sion. In 1893 he was appointed dep
uty by Auditor l.. A. Loichot, under
whom he took up the work. made 1t

There is not a well meaning kepub-
lican in the county but should rebuke
at the polls the manner of conducting
the county infrmary in so far as ,he
purchasing of supplies is concerned.
The institution is well kept, so far as
the people in charge are concerned,
but it's keeping is costing a lot and
favoritism is shown in buying.

Over in New York the betting on
the result of the presidential election
is becoming lively. It is part of the
Republican campaign plan to proffer
bluff bets at big odds. These bets are
being taken up so readily by Demo-
Gratis that the odds are changing rapid
ly and it may not be long until the
betting is even. The betting on Her.
rick, Democrat, for governor is 10 to
8 on Herrick.

Charles j. Gulling, the Democratic
candidate for infirmary director was
born in Nimishillen township Stark
county, Ohio, on April A, 1867, and has
been a resident of this county all his
life. He was a teacher in the public
schools of the county for several
years, after which he engaged in the
general mercantile business, in the
village of Harrisburg, and has con-
tinued in that business during the
last ten years. In May 1903, he had
the misfortune to lose his store and
dwelling by fire and although the loss
was heavy he at once rebuilt and in
October, 1903 was again located in his
own property. Mr.. Gulling has one of
the most modern and best equipped
country stores in the county, in the
conduct of which he has been quite
successful. He is man of marked
ability and energy. and everything
which he has undertaken has been at
tended by success.

For clerk of courts in Stark county
the Democratic candidate is Edwin W.
Diehl, of Alliance. Mr.. Diehl is a
Stark county boy, having been born
in Washington township, He was ed
ucated at Mt. Union college and at the
Ada Normal university having gradu-
ated from the latter place in 1895. In
1896 he was made principal of one Of
the ward schools in Alliance and held
that position for 6 years. 1t was dur
ing this time that he concluded to
study law and in connection with

That Mr.. Diehl is good man and
popular with his fellow townsmen in
the city of Alliance is we'll demonstrate
ed by the fact that when he was put
up for city solicitor by the Democrats
of the east end city he ran about 300
young man of exemplary habits, hon.
est and capable, and if the people Of
Stark county elect him to the Office
for which he aspires. he will attend
strictly to business. And the public
interests will not suffer by reason OF
his being continually absent from
the county office.
