width. When the county ticket is add
ed it will be four feet long.

The emblem over the Republican
ticket is the national bird.
Over the Democratic Offering is the
chanucleer.
A muscular person is clutching
torch, otherwise the beacon light of
liberty, at the top of the Socialist ar
ray.
All, there is the rose introducing the
Prohibition talent!
Then, as we pass on to the other
exhibits, there is the hand holding
the balance scales This, gentlemen,
is the emblem of the Independence
party.
Next appear the arm and hammer,
leading the Socialist Labor forces.
This is not an advertisement of bak-
ing soda.
Then, next-but where is it? Some
body has faile dto display the emblem
of the Peoples party, Tom Watson,
where art thou?

dent Mckinley, he has been the senior
member of the equally well known law
firm of Shields & Pomerene
From the time of his entrance into
professional life, Mr.. Shields has de-
voted the full measure of his powers
and the full strength of his years to
the law. In the earlier period of his
practice he soon gave evidence of pos
sessing an equipment of intellectual
force and legal training which con-
stitutes the groundwork Of the sue
cessful lawyer. Being thus favored,
Mr.. Shields soon forged to the front
and took high rank in his profession,
with Justice Day, the late William A,
Lynch and others of their class as his
colleagues, and for many years past
he has enjoyed large clientage and
been recognized as one of the leading
members of the Stark county bar and
among the able lawyers in Ohio.
Added to his ripe experience and
ability as lawyer, Mr.. Shields high
character and gentlemanly character
istics have deservedly won for him
hosts of friends and rendered him ex-
ceptionally popular with the lawyers
in this judicial district. He possesses
all the necessary qualifications Of
good Judge, and his elevation to the
bench will be a distinct gain to the
bar of the district and an honor to
the profession.

CONCLAVE
At Cincinnati Will be At
tended by 100 From
Canton
GO BY SPECIAL TRAIN

Leaving Canton on a special train,
early next Tuesday morning, 100 mem
bers of Canton Commandery 9S, of the
Knights Templar, will go to Cincin-
natl to attend the siXty-sixth annual
conelave of the state organization.

effect that one of the largest gather
ings of the Ohio Masons is expected,
and fully 10000 visitors will be there
from all parts of this state and the
neighboring states
Local members of that society will
be accompanied by their wives and
families, and in all between 200 and

ance, Massillon. Wooster and several

day will be devoted to the making of
preparations for the opening Of the
conclave Returning, the train will
start from Cincinnati Thursday after
noon at 4:3O and arrive in Canton
late in the night.

be made by>local members to have the
1909 conclave held in Canton.
For this month many interesting
and enjoyable events are scheduled on
the Masonic program. On October 21
and %, the centennial celebration Of
M w. Lodge of Free and Accepted

HOLE FOUND In
NEW BANKING LAW

Columbus, O.. Oct. 6.-An incongru-
ity Of. the new state banking act is
disclosed in an opinion constituting one
section by the attorney general at
the request of State Bank Superintend-
ent B. B. Seymour He asked If COM
mercial banks, regulated by the act,
could loan more than 20 per cent of
their surplus and capital to any one
person, firm or corporation. The
opinion is that they may.
There is stipulation in the act
that such a loan may not be made,
but it is followed by provision that
it may be done If proper security is
given. From the verbiage of the act
it might be inferred that an amount
under 20 per cent could be loaned
without satisfactory security, but it
certainly was not the intention of the
legislature to give the law that ef-
feet and it is too absurd to consider
for one moment that banks would do
business that way even if the law au-
thorized 1t.
The banking act was the most vol
luminous enacted at the recent session
and its preparation was difficult
task. 1t is not surprising that some
imperfections have been found in it,
but, happily. these are not serious
and can be cured easily by the next
general assembly.
The ruling of the attorney general
is that there Is no Limitation upon
the amount that the bank may loan
to any single person, firm or corpora
tion.

disagreement over the stock was the
cause for the action taken. Those in
close touch with the company say that
the business is increasing and at the
present time they have many orders
