HIS TINE TO oLoAr.

l am a vegetarian.
No heifer fed barbarian;
live on things agrarian,
But never fool With meat.
I'm one of those that like, you see,
The grass that lines the pike, you see;
And so this packer strike, you see,
To me is quite a treat.
laugh to think of those who eat
That horrid, germ fraught stun called
meat
All now a-shake from head to feet
For fear of rising prices,
No odds to us II beef should be
Two-sixty-five pound, for we
Don't eat the dirty stuff, you see,
But live on grains and rices..
thought this morning, as lay
And hungered for my morning hay,
How, ere the closing Of the day,
The price of pork might rise;
pitied all who didn't know
How nicely ragweed pork chops go
When one is tired bit: and oh,
The taste of pecan pies!
We oft eat roasts of who knows what
Served up to us all piping hot,
And steaks" consisting of lot
OF weeds we cannot name;
A consomme of maple limbs.
A puree made of Watts hymns
These soups delight our fats and
Sims
And eke our halt and lame.
While they who long for flesh are
gaunt
Because of meat there is a want,
Our sirloin cabbages we flaunt,
And liver made of radish;
We stuff on sausage made of oats
Instead of fragments saved from
shotes;
On string bean hash each veggy
dotes--
Some people say we're faddish.
Head cheese we make from barley
polls.
From cowslips we construct veal
rolls
That you could not to save your souls,
From real meat discern.
In brief, to make long tale short,
We don't eat naught we hadn't ort;
And If no meat should reach our port
We wouldn't yearn a yearn.

The Republicans have lost West Wis
ginia frnm the start. Their campaign
begins with that disadvantage. The
State was carried by Mr.. Cleveland
three times. 1t was carried by Hancock
and Tilden. It's six electoral votes went
to Mr.. Mckinley In 1896 and In 1900.
II has become to be considered Re-
publican state. In early election fore
casts nobody counted on 1t as Parker
State and 1t was put in the Republican
column. West Virginia does not go
Republican when Henry G. Davis in
terests himself to have 1t go Demo-
cratic. With ex-senator Davis nomin-
ated for the Vice Presidency on the
Democratic ticket the Republicans
have about as much chance Of carrying
Texas as they have of getting West
Virginia. For reasons which are not
far to seek Maryland also now becomes
q sure Democratic State.
Judge Parker has become the most
massive and conspicuous figure in the
country. The President Of the United

tion, but at the present moment the
consideration devoted to Mr.. Roose-
welt is astonishingly less than it has
been at any other time since he en-
tered the White House.
Everybody sees, of course, that the
current sets toward the Democracy,
and the initial set of the current is a
vital thing in Presidential campaigns.
The sound money Democrats who di-
rectly or indirectly supported McKin-
ley have come back to their party SUBJ
stantially in body. That means that
the Republicans have lost. in the
twinkling of an eye, the votes that
gave them their great majorities in
many States that must now be consid-
cred doubtful, as we'll as in NewYork,
which we do no think any prudent
Republican will call doubtful unless he
wishes to deceive himself.
The Democrats, ON the other hand,
begin their campaign with candidate
who, before the convention had ad-
journed, won the worlds applause by
an act of heroism and great minded
ness such as in the whole worlds his
tory only now and then a man has per-
formed. Mr.. Roosevelt, as some Of his
friends would in sorrow admit. has
not availed himself in like manner. It
is an incalculable advantage in cam
paign to have candidate who liter
ally fufills the high requirements of
the venerable adage, ''He would rather
be right than President" The bound
less capacity of the American people
for admiring greatness Of that degree
and quality must be disquieting to the
Republican leaders as they read and
ponder Judge Parker's telegram.

ticket in Stark county should be over
whelmingly defeated at the polls next
November.
The Democratic ticket is composed
Of honest, courageous and capable men
and they should receive the unqualified
support of every Democrat in the coun-
ty and they should likewise receive
the support of every independent in the
county who believes in purer politics
and better local government. They
are just the sort of men to take charge
of affairs in these days Of peculation
or speculation, and If the Republican
voters of Stark county do not subor-
dinate every thing to blind devo-
tion to party they will be elected.

The One Consolation.

Health Officer Marchand, City Ply
sician Brant and Sanitary Policeman
Sell, who, for political reasons lost
their places last night at the hands of
the Republican health board, have one
very great source of consolation. Dur
ing their regime there has not been an
epidemic Of any contagious disease, all
outbreaks being stopped in their incl
piency. Contagion has been carried
into the city times without number,
yet it has been stifed without the pub
lie knowing of its presence. This
avoiding Of publicity is appreciated by
the business people of Canton, as there
have been no scares to drive trade
away from the city.
In the matter of general healthful-
ness, according to the government re-
ports, Canton stands second among the
cities of the United States.
The strengthening Of political ma
chine by wholesale changes may be
good politics, but the parties who man
ipulated these things may be called to
account If sanitary conditions change
in the city.

Glance over These and Forget Your
Other Troubles.
To escape from the heat of the swelt-
ering days,
If a man has got wealth there are
plenty Of ways;
He may spend his vacation way down
by the sea. s5r. ,,i
Or else to the coolness of mountains
may fee.
He may tour DER the plains In his au.
tomobile.
And breezes refreshing on brow he may
may feel;
Or else to the races himself may be-
take
And indulge in guess on who wins
the stake;
Or perchance on voyage to Europe
may go
And forget the hot sun where the sea
breezes blow.
But the fellow who's down to only ten
cents
Must seek a resort where there's little
expbn6e,
So all there is left is trolley to take
And enjoy day of at Meyers cool
lake,
Where he sits in the shade and ex-
presses wish
That the bites of mosquitoes belonged
to the fish.
And sadly bemoans the sad, cruel fate
That compels him to squeeze through
that small narrow gate.
No matter how much man may per-
spire,
One squeeze is as much as a man may
require
To leave his anatomy perfectly dry,
Though the pain brings flood Of tears
to his eye.
But never mind that--oh hang the ex-
pense,
For your day at the lake has cost but
ten cents.
And the chances are even you've had
an good time
As the man with the dough in far
away cline.

Our Next President.

The national Democracy has turned
it's face toward the light.
1t has named for President of the
United States a candidate who rep
resents the sane sentiment of the
mass of the party and the patriotic.
purpose of the American people.
What it means, and what the coun-
try will recognize in this nomination,
is reversal of the attitude of the
two great parties. The Democracy,
from radical, becomes conservative.
The Republican party is left as the
exponent of radicalism.
Alton B. Parker is the safe man.
Theodore Roosevelt Is the dangerous
man. The contrast is made between
the judicial temperament, the states
manlike force of character of Judge
Parker, AID the fiery impulsiveness
Of the Rough Rider.
Can 1t be doubted which candidate
will appeal the more strongly to the
solid sense of the American people?
Parker is guarantee of safety.
Roosevelt is danger.
There are excellent reasons for ex-
pectlng the election of Judge Parker.
He comes from the state Of New York
the state whose vote still decides
presidential elections-and he will car
ry his state. He has done it before
when a candidate for high judicial
office, against great odds, and by the
force Of hts personality, his charac-
ter and his record, he will do 1t again
as candidate for president.
New York is essentially the pivotal
state. Judge Parker will also carry
Connecticut, New Jersey and other
states which for eight years have been
classed as doubtful.
The probability is that with Parker
the Democracy will win the election.
The candidate has shown character
istic delicacy in refusing to be drawn
into a discussion of the issues of the
campaign or to take any part which
could be construed into an effort to
obtain the nomination. The publ
recognizes his good sense.
Thus the campaign opens. The
lines are clearly drawn. 1t Is the
fantastic politician against the sea.
soned jurist and statesman.
Not since the civil war has the
Democracy entered upon the campaign
with such omens Of success. The Til
den campaign--out OF whose result
the people we're cheated-the two
Cleveland campaigns which we're sue
cessful, did not present such pros.
pect at the outset.
The fact is that the people want
safe, sane man in the White House to
direct the fortunes Of the republic
as It's chief executive. instead of an
erratic. impulsive Rough Rider.
Befog the issue as you may, this is
the point on which the election will
turn.-From the Washington Post.

gate to the Democratic National con-
vention at st. Louis month ago and
was a member of the committee on res
olutions. The severe strain upon him
during that long session marked the
beginning of the END of his long and
useful career.
Mr.. Pattison has been a most con-
spicuous figure in Democratic state and
national politics for over q quarter of
a century. He was first elected coun-
ty controller of Philadelphia in 1877
when only 81 years of age. He brought
to the Office that rugged honesty which
had so characterized his noble nature
that when he came up for reelection
three years later he carried the city by
storm. This was In 1880 when the
country was in the throes of the most
violent presidential contest in the his
tory of the Republic. Partisan bitter
ness was at white heat. The city of
Philadelphia rolled up a Republican
majority of over $4,000 which at that
time was abnormal, but Pattison tri-
umphed by over 1000 plurality.
This signal victory over such tremen-
dous odds made him formidable can
dldate for governor in 1882. He was
then but 80 years of age and to him be-
longs the credit of breaking the back
bone of the Cameron dynasty in Penn
sylvania. Don Cameron who for many
years had been ruling Pennsylvania
with an iron hand brought down upon
his head the wrath of many thousand
Republicans by forcing down their
throats his slated ticket headed by Cen
eral James A. Beaver. All eyes at once
turned to Robert E. Pattison as the one
man above all best equipped to wage
a successful revolution against machine
politics. Pattison was nominated and
Immediately launched into a vigorous
campaign. He was elected governor
by over 10000 plurality, carrying with
him the state ticket, the legislature
and a majority Of the congressman. 1t
was Cameron's good fortune that his
term as senator did not expire at this
time or there would have been no one
left to tell the story.
During his reign as governor he was
so honest and conscientious in the dis
charge of his public duty that the peo-
pie again took him up and elected him
in 1890 over George w. Delamater
though by a decreased majority. Up
on leaving the governors Office the sec
ond time he was taken up by the Dem
ocrats of Philadelphia for mayor but he
was defeated by Charles F. Warwick
In 1902 his party honored him with
third nomination for governor but he
was defeated by Judge Pennypacker.
In all his public career there is not
a single act of his that bears the slight
est imprint of dishonor. He has reach
ed his journeys end and Pennsylvania
along with his grief stricken family
mourns his untimely taking off.

Roosevelt Beaten bv History.

'
If Theodore Roosevelt is elected
president of the United States next No
vember he will upset all precedents
and even overturn the political his
tory of this country for more than a
hundred years.
1t is a notable fact that no Republi-
can, whig or Federalist from the east
was ever elected chief executive of this
nation In speaking of the east the
Atlantic border states are meant They
are the 10 original states with Maine,
Vermont and Florida Washington, of
course was Federalist, but he was
unanimously elected, and John Adams
was Federalist and both were from
the east; but prior to 1904 each elec-
tor was entitled to vote for two candi-
dates for president. The candidate re-
ceiving the highest number of votes
was declared the president and the can
didate receiving the next highest vote
was declared the vice president. So
Washington and John Adams cannot
count in this calculation.
In 1900 John Adams of Massachusetts,
and c. G. Pinckney of South Carolina
were Federalists. Jefferson and Burr,
Democrats, received majority of the
electoral vote, but they were tie and
the election had to be decided by the
house of representatives.
In 1904 Jefferson was again the Dem
ocratic candidate. Pinckney was again
his opponent and Pinckney could only
carry three states out of the seven
teen.
In 1908 c. C. Pinckney ran again for
the presidency, his Democratic oppon-
ent being James Madison, a Democrat.
This time Pinckney could get but AZ
electoral votes out of 176.
The next eastern Federalist who fail
ed to reach the presidency was De Witt
Clinton of New York. He crossed
swords with James Madison in 1912
and all the electoral votes he could
muster were SO out of 218.
Rufus King of New York was an.
other Federalist from the east who
was badly beaten. He ran against
James Monroe, Democrat, in 1916 car
rying only three states out of nine
teen.
In 1920 James Monroe ran for his
second term against John Quincy
Adams. Adams was a Federalist,
from Massachusetts and only got one
vote in the whole electoral college.
In 1924 no candidate received a ma
jority of the electoral college and the
was again thrown into the
house of representatives. Andrew
Jackson was the Democratic candidate
and received 15 electoral votes more
than did his eastern Federalist COM
petitor, Quincy Adams.
In 1928 Jackson and Quincy Adams
were the respective candidates again.
Jackson's electoral vote was 178 and
Adams S3. The only eastern man that
the Wings ever ran was Winfield Scott
In 1852. Franklin Pierce was the Dem
ocratic candidate. Scott carried but
4 states out Of 81.
From 1856 to 1884 the Republicans
always nominated western men for the
presidency In the latter year they
