A canvass of the Republican dele
gates and committeeman of the coun-
ty has been made by some of the local
politicians, and the majority of those
who have been interviewed have ex-
pressed themselves in favor of County
Chairman McCulloch as the candidate
for congress.
McCulloch was the active man in the
fight against Kennedy, and feeling
prevails that he is the logical candi-
date. He is young in years, but has
made himself quite popular with the
party workers, and ne has the conf
dences of the leaders In speaking of
him one of the most experienced poll
ticians in the city said;
"McCulloch is able, energetic, and
has capacity for work unequalled by
any lawyer at the Stark county bar.
He has shown much ability as chair
man of the county Republican COM
mittee and has the best organization
today that the party has had for ten
years. While he is young, he is Of
the material that makes good con-
gressmen. McCulloch has the energy
of Tayler and has a faculty of max
| ing friends. He has no entangling
alliances. He is clean, politically and
morally"
A meeting of some of the local Re-
publican politicians was held Monday
and the situation canvassed. Reports
were brought in that Welty is prepar-
| ing to make vigorous campaign, and
with Kennedy as the candidate,
smirched as he is with the trust in
fuences and political corruption, that
he would be unable to carry the coun-
! ty. 1t is feared that the county tick
ct will be endangered. Capt. Kings
friends are considering the possibil-
ity of his being defeated by Douglass,
of Massillon, who is the city audi
| tor of that elace.
The candidacy of Charles Baker, of
Alliance, was discussed and the friends
Lof ex-Congressman Tayler interposed a.
vigorous objection, recalling the fact
| that Baker was candidate against
Tayler when the latter was running for
his third term, and made the fight so
bitter that the sore spots have not yet
| healed
! The matter of entrance fee has been
/ roitfao n
| Colum biana county the committee
| there has decided that no charge shall
be made. 1t is reported that the fee
in Mahoning and Stark may be about
$500.
Over in Columbiana county the Re-
publican county committee met on
Saturday and accepted Speakers resig-
nation as chairman. They also fixed
the hours of the primaries from
o'clock to 8. The Kennedy men were
there in force, attempting to secure
change in the hours for East Liver
pool, but the request was refused. 1T
appears that the Sons of st. George of
that city have arranged for big ex-
cursion on that day, and as East Liv-
erpool is an English settlement at least
200 voters will lose their ballots by
reason of this excursion. This is sup
posed to be direct Kennedy loss.
Shrewd politicians are watching the
result in Littlefield's district in Maine
this week. Labor organizations have
been making fight against him, and
if they are successful it will encourage
attempts to invade other districts. The
move of organized labor in this dis
trict to hold convention and nomin-
ate candidate would receive much
impetus from victory for labor in
the Maine fight
1t can be stated with some degree
of certainty that Speaker will not be
endorsed by the Stark county commit
tee.
