In commenting on the News graph
ic expose of the Kennedy congresslon-
al plot to force a nomination for con
gressman which the people believe
should be left to their choice, the
Youngstown Telegram of Monday tries
to throw dust in the eyes of its read
ers by making a howl that Stark
and Columbiana are miffed because
Youngstown is to get the convention
This is straining at a knat while swal-
lowing an elephant. horns, trunk and
all
AS an instance of the smooth 10.

he is doing, through his committee,
| just notice the following from tie

"The Canton Morning News took oc
casion to publish an article, on the
day after the congressional commit
tee meeting, that the action of the
committee in takiDgtno convention to
| Youngstown waS '0f2ir to the Stark
county candidate -ihr News decl2r-
ed that it was corTpiracy against
the Stark county candidate and about
it was framed up by the opponents ot
Grant. who is to be the candidate OF
Molly Stark. This article was freely
commented upon this morning by 10
cal Republicans. One OF them in dis
cussing the matter said oa Telegram
reporter the article in the Canton
News was entirely uncalled for al
though | bear the News no i'll will.
Youngstown never had a congression-
al convention and it was only right
and fair that we should at least get
one look in.

This assertion is intended to. throw
sand in the eyes of the voters. lie
place of the convention does not
figure in the revolt at all
What we in Stark county want TO
know is why Kennedy and his COM
mittee insist by resolutions JnaI
Stark and Columbiana shall place then
list of delegates in the hands OF Ken
nedy and his partisan committee five
days before the convention, while
Kennedy says that his list of dele,
gates will be handed out the day Of
the convention.
But this is not all. The Telegram
goes on in an effort to blind every.
body in the congressional district by
saying that:
WILL BLOW THEMSELVES.
Money, hard work, hospitality anC

be spared in handling the convention
