DICK Is WARN ED.

Chairman Dick of the Republican
state committee has laid down the dog
matte statement that the tariff is to be
the paramount issue In Ohio this fall.
Violent exception is taken to this de-
claration by the Ohio State journal,
the leading Republican party organ in
central Ohio. With the Cleveland
Leader and the Pittsburg Gazette, the
Journal has been fighting for tariff re-
vision. Under the pronounced title Of
"The Tariff Is Not the ISSUE" the Jour
nal says editorially:
"of course, Senator Dicks announc-
ment that the tariff is to be the par
amount issue in the Ohio campaign
this year does not make 1t so. We
confess to some surprise that such a
veteran political manager as the chair
man of the Republican committee has
attempted to name the paramount is
sue. Issues are not made by man or
a committee. They shape themselves
in accordance with the wishes and the
demands of the voters vitality inter-
ested in the outcome of any given
political contest"

recent legislature. The plan adopted,
according to. those who ought to be in
formed, seems to have been the collect
ing of money from various business in
terests to pfeVent the passage of laws
that would prove serious injury II
passed. This proved a great source of
revenue, and the business interests OF
the state are likely of the opinion that
defeat of the Republican party would
put a stop to this kind Of business, and
that this year would be a good time tc
commence the work. This will proba'
nent business men are opposing the
election of Herrick this fall.

CHAIRMAN CARRIER REPLIES.

Chairman Harvey C. CARRIER, Of the
Democratic executive committee, made
this reply to the statement of Chair
man Dick, of the Republican commit
tee, who said that the tariff was the
paramount issue in Ohio this fall:
THAT the election OF John NJ. Pat
tison as governor in year when no
congressman or senator is to be elect
ed, and in the very year when Presi-
dent Roosevelt was inaugurated and
the new congress elected with him,
having nearly one hundred Republican
majority, and when congress does not
convene until after Mr.. Pattison is
elected, will, as Chairman Dick says,
have q ruinous effect on the business
of the nation, is reflection on the H.
'telligence of Ohio citizens, irrespective
of party. No national issues are in
volved and none will be discussed by
the people who are opposing Governor
Herrick, and it is hardly conceivable
that Governor Herrick himself will re-
fuse to discuss his own administrative
acts, and, even at Mr.. Dicks sugges-
ton, set himself up as the unlimited
champion of President Roosevelt, to
save the tariff" from harm growing
out of any possible neglect on the
presidents part during the next two
years."

1t is reported on the quiet that there
will probably be no indictment found
in the State bank cases. OF course, it
is all surmise, for no information is
permitted to leak out of the grand jury
room. The decision in favor of the
bank in the Davis suits and the fact
that If one of the directors is indicted
that it would be difficult to keep from
indicting all are given as the reasons for
believing that no indictment will be
found in any of the cases.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1905-09-22

"Our city is, as a rule, Democratic
and the county Republican" remarked
C. E. Underwood, the Dayton manufac-
turer and former police commissioner
of Dayton, at the Grand, but there is
every evidence that Democrats will
carry both at the November election.
The uprising against Herrick is hot all
over our congressional district, and the
probabilities are that Pattison will
carry it, which would be gain Of sew
eral thousand for the Democrats. The
district is certain to go Democratic if
the Republicans vote as they now talk. "

The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1905-09-22

The efforts of the Republican COM
mittee in organizing campaign clubs in
Stark county has stirred the Republi-
cans who are opposed to the election Of
Herrick, and 1t is possible that the
move will be Offset by the organization
of club of Republicans who will not
support Herrick. Such clubs are being
organized in other parts of the state,
and it is believed that large MEM
bership for such an organization could
be secured in this county.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1905-09-22

One of the most potent matters that
will work against the Republican ticket
this fall will be the desire of the busi-
ness interests of the state to put a
stop to the milking policy alleged to
have been instituted and worked by the

was living in the city. The shops are
all shut, and the busiest streets are as
quiet as if it was an ideal Sabbath OF
rest.
But the quiet does not last long. Oc-
casiOnal crackers are let off, and
strings of beggars soon appear on ev-
cry hand. They are far more numerous
than usual and more importunate.
They know they will reap rich har-
vest on this happy day, for it is lucky
to begin the year with good deeds, and
1t is not long before the streets are
filed with well dressed multitude
starting out TO pay New Years calls.
Custom requires that all the men In
China shall call on their relations
teachers and friends, and for three
days the visiting goes on. Women are
not expected 10 pay NewNYear's calls or
to see the visitors who come to their
houses. AS these are men. of course
that would be highly improper.
When friends meet in the street for
the first time in the new year they
stand and bow very politely; they put
their hands together and shake them,
saying, "Kung shi, kung shi," which
means II respectfully wish you JOY"
and they often add, MAY you grow
RICH" for that is the Chinese idea Of
happiness.
For three days the New Vars re-
joicing goes on, and then all the poorer
classes begin to work again. Large
shops and places of business are closed
for a month.-BrOokly Citizen.

The First American Line Was Ran
In New Jersey In 1744.
As public conveyances or the stage
coach had been fn;7vogue in England
since 1910, the establishment Of sim
liar convenience was demanded in
America many years before the war
for independence: As early as 1744,
therefore, stage line started to run
between New Brunswick and Trenton,
N. j.. and by 1756 this route had been
extended over from New York to Phil
adelphia. Moreover, as in England, so
In America, the advent Of the stage
coach necessitated marked improve
ments in the highways, while the build
ing of better roads and turnpikes nat
orally created a greater demand for
more coaches, and, what was more to
the purpose, lighter vehicles. In III
