The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1906-08-03

J
time our oxfords are set on Youngs-
town streets, insist that we shall be
treated fairly and ueeently. If we
are not "a collection will be taken up
in the Stark county delegation and
we will have a little convention u
our own. with Speaker'h friends, ey4l
if the whole army of us have to hire
Diamond hall and pay for it in ad-
vance, by gosh.
Us "rubes!" Just watch the wind
wait our whiskers toward Church Hill
when we are craning our necks in an
effort to see the high smoke stack Of
the Struthers furnace Easy? or
course Stark county is. Just give Us
paint the town red. But all this
time we shall insist that Kennedys
gang of tricksters be relegated to the
Crab creek crossing of the Erie rail-
road.
SALEM BUTTS IN.
This much Tor Youn gstown; but
there is another smooth writer in the
Salem News, who, while he writes par
TALLY for Kennedy tries to tell what
will occur.
Being independent in all things, and
the only paper in the Eighteenth con-
gressiUnal district that is for the
people against the Kennedy commit
tee and Brother Julin's mazooma this
writer's size-up OF the situation is
given space, although the managing
editor thinks it could be used to bet
ter advantage. But here it is:
IF there was any unfairness it was
done by the opponents of Congress
man Kennedy as he was tied up IN
| Washington, d. c., with his official
duties, could not get away and he was
the victim of unfair and unjust CIR
CuInstanCes. He was not able to set
his foot inside Columbiana or Stark
counties until three weeks before the
delegates were selected and even at
that he made a splendid showirG g,
breaking into the ranks of his oppon-
/ ents in a most unmistakable manner
! No if any enc was treated unfairly it
! was Congressman Kennedy. There
will doubtless be a deadlock under
the unit rule, but it will be the aim
and object of the committees on en-
| tertainment and arrangements to take
care of the visitors as long as need
be, " eek or more if necessary.
A HOT TINE PROMISED.
ANY one looking for day or so OF
interesting entertainment should at
| tend the congressional convention in
Youngstown Tuesday August 81, and
as many days thereafter as it lasts
That it will not be quiet, easy-going
cut and dried affair is already assured
With the congressional committee in
sisting that only the precinct delegate
plan will be recognized and with Starr
and Columbiana counties insistine
with equal firmness that the distrtct
committee has nothing to say about it
and that the unit rule. adopted il
both counties, must be recognized
such a thing as dull time ought tt
be practically unknown in Youngs
town that week.
"The right of the congressional
committee to say by what method
candidate shall be nominated will ~
challenged by the Columbiana an,
probably by the Stark county centra
committees. In each county the uni
rule was adopted, and they will insis
that it must be adhered to so far a
Coumbiana and Stark county dele
gates are concerned. Under this rul
Mr.. Speaker would enter the conver
tion with all Columbiana county de-
egates, and Mr.. Grant with all Star
county delegates for the reason tha
each received a majority of the vote
in his own county to the Republica
primaries"
But While the delegates are gettin
: ready to give Mr.. Kennedy and h
committee what is justly coming
l them, Tod Post band will keep u
l Youngstown's courage by warbling II
e famous ditty, 'There'll Be Hot Tin
in the Old Town Tonight" And son
of the heat for the main show will

county, who, according to the way '
y are sized up in Kennedyville, are N
