POISONED BARB FOR FORAKER
TIES.

In an editorial Wednesday. the
Ohio State Journal gave an extra
ordinary exhibition of piQue.
Placing Taft and Harris on an ex
alted pinnacle of partisan idolatry,
the Journals editor dipped his
quill In rancid gall and wrote: How
depraved and degenerate the personal
piQue that could move a man to vote
against them"
Isn't that bitter? Wouldn't that
burn the very heart out OF good
friend of Senator Foraker? For it
was aimed straight at the heart of
every Forakerite. 1t could mean
nobody else.
Laboring men have patriotic rea-
sons for voting against Taft.
Colored men have patriotic rea-
sons for voting against Taft.
Citizens of foreign birth who de-
spise succession in Office by inheri-
tance have patriotic reasons for Yot-
ing against Taft.
Admirers Of Mr.. Bryan who were
nauseated by GrosYenor's sacriligious
sneer about THE Prince OF Peace"
cannot be accused of "depraved and
degenerate personal pique" If they do
not vote for Taft.
Those who believe in saving the re-
public from a self-perpetuating rotary
dynasty will not think it depraved or
degenerate or personal piQue to vote
against Taft.
Citizens Of Ohio remembering the
kind Of campaign waged by Andrew
L. Harris as a candidate for neuten-
ant governor three years ago. when
John M. Pattison made war on graft
and bossism: who will recall the kind
of administration given the state BY
Harris as governor during which
graft and boRsism have reached their
highest degree OF development not
only with his knowledge but under
his protection; and reflect on the
kind Of campaign he Is making this
year 10 defend the candidates who
have not dared to SO On the stump
and answer what q score Of Repubh-
can papers have said about them. will
not be moved by personal pique" In
Voung for Judge Harmon and the
candidates on the ticket with him
for state ofhces.
So that the only persons whom the
narrow-minded and bigoted editor Of
the Journal win regard as being de-
praved and degenerate II they vote
against Taft aud Harris win be
those Republicans who resent the re-
lenflsss course pursued by Taft,
Roosevelt. Vorys. Hari1s and the
state house ring 70 eliminate Senator
Foraker.

GOVERNOR HARRIS PLAYING
DOUBLE.

While Governor Harris is going
about over the state playing the role
OF temperance candidate for gov
ernor saying in some places that he
would veto any attempt to repeal the
county option law and at other
places saying that If the next legisls-
ture saw fit to pass a bill to repeal
the Rose law he would sign it just as
freely as the former bill. Cox's
cohorts are going about the city of
Cincinnati making speeches at poll
tical meekngs openly and boldly as
serting that Governor Harris. If elect
ed, under no circumstances would in
terfere in local affairs.
Such statements are made with
impunity by COx's> cohorts because
Governor Harris has made no at
tempt whatever TO enforce the laws
of the state, whether against grating
and corruption in high places or
against Sunday violation and against
prize fights.
Governor Harris now attempts to
utly MS utleTdnceS at SFeenfllle,
which was probably meant for con-
sumption in Cox's end OF the state.
but his words were taken down and
published verbatim by Greenville
paper and he can no more deny them
than Taft can deny his speech at
Grants tomb.
Whom does Governor Harris expect
TO fool by this sort of double dealing?
Surely the state OF Ohio is not 50
large that Governor Harris should
find 1t necessary to initiate the
example of Mr.. Taft by making
one kind OF a speech at one
section and another somewhere
else and denying them afterwards
when confronted with his inconsis
teneies.
AS the end of the campaign draws
near. Governor Harris is giving the
voters CT OHIO additional reasons why,
in cleaning out the state house he
should be retired along with Gull
bert, McKinnon. their deputies,
Thompson, Shauek. Price and other
candidates on the tieket with him.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1908-10-29

tisan purist of the Journal should
have thought over few things before
he aimed that poisoned bnrb.
There was the written statement of
the last year signed by Harris, Gull
bert, Ellis and Vorys declaring for
Taft for President and the elimina4
tion of Senator Foraker. There was
the secret letter of Taft to Vorys. first
sent to Roosevelt for approval. made
public by Roosevelt without consult
ing his proxy candidate for President
and regardless of the effect it was
sure to have on Taft's vote in Ohio.
There was the scathing letter of
Roosevelt about Foraker after the
Hearst Roosevelt eruption of political
mud. There is the elimination pri-
mary scheme fixed up by Vorys, Cox,
Brown, Guilbert, Harris, Thompson
and Ellis. There is the decision Of
Judges Shauck and Price. with other
members of the Supreme court, and
there is also the dissenting opinion
of Judge Davis There are the fac
tional decisions of Thompson discrim-
mating against followers OF Foraker,
and on top of them now the Supreme
court decision against Foraker's lieu
tenant, Sherman Eagle, of Gallia
county.
The biased and bucolic editor OF
the Journal expects friends Of For
aker to walk up to the Taft-Harrif
guillotine with smile and say
thank you'll, as they place theiI
heads on the block. and he wonders
why they balk at the beheadinl
machine. In his warped and preju-
diced judgment he can't see anything
except a "depraved and degenerate
personal pique. Taft and Harris prob
ably see it the same way-but For
aker's friends may see it differently
This is not the first splenetic refer
erence to them and to Foraker himself
in the Ohio State Journal.

CUTE THIEVES REPLACE
STRIPPED POTATO VINES

Findlay, o., Oct 25.-Thomas Dow
ling, former resident, who now lives
in Cleveland, came down here yester-
day to dig his winter potatoes from
a lot that he had planted before he
left here. When he viewed the patch
il looked good, but when he began to
dig he found that some one had been
there before him and had gotten every
potato The thieves had replaced the
vines in the hills, SO that the field
looked as though it had not been
touched.

WHERE LETTERS ARE NEEDLESS.

Mr.. Roosevelt dismisses Mr. Bryan's
letter as Simply an attack upon him
personally" Therefore, there Is mo
reason why he should answer it
For, this relief much thanks. Let us
return to the issues of the campaign
which are not personal but political:
l. Roosevelt extravaganza, which
has brought about two Billion Dollar
Congresses instead of Billion Dollar
Congresses.
2. Roosevelt militarism, imperial
ism, jingoism and rough-riderism, un-
der which more than 65 per cent Of
the Governments revenues outside
the postal receipts are expended for
wars past and to come.
g. Roosevelts personal govern
ment, which assails the judiciary
when it disagreer with the President
and dragons Congress into legislat-
ing his wishes.
4. Roosevelt government by de-
nunciation.
s. Republican partnership with
protection, privilege and plutocracy.
In discussing these issues and pre-
senting them to the pablie no Demo
cratic candidate need write letters to
snyboGy.-New York World.

POLICE MAKE. A HAUL

At an early hour Sunday morning
a squad of police officers under charge
of Captain Patterson made a raid on
a house presided over by. Katie
Lahm May. who has quite a reputa-
tion in Canton and Massillon. Katie
is sort of a briek-dust blonde and
has been member of the sporting
fraternity for a number of years,
keeping house in different sections of
the city. She was arrested on num-
erous occasions. but this is the first
time that she has appeared in many
months. When the officers arrived
at her home fve or six men beside
her husband were there. and one fe-
male who gave her name as Ida Haase
was also found. The entire outfit was
put into the patrol wagon and hauled
to the city prison. Sunday morning
the May woman was allowed to re-
turn to her home on account of ill
ness, but the other members of the
party stuck it out for a few of Joa
Reigler's square meals" consisting
OF black coffee and balonga sand
wiches. The men brought in were
John May, Ralph Leggett, George
Smith, William Griggs, Charles Lahm
and an Italian. whose name could not
be understood. They will face the
mayor this morning.
Mary Stull. who was caught in the
act of soliciting on the streets was
sent TO the prison by Patrolman New
ell. She came from Akron ABOUT four
weeks ago. She is still in the pris-
on, awaiting action Of Mayor Turn
bull.

MORGAN
Qualities as Pilot by an
Ascension Made
Saturday
TIMKEN A PASSENGER

A. H. Morgan, of Cleveland, blythe
ascension made Saturday afternoon,
in the balloon, Sky Pilot, is the
second member OF the Canton Aero
club, to qualify as a pilot under the
rules of the American Aeronautic so
ciety. Up to last Saturday, Mr.. Nor
gan, had during his ballooning career,
made nine ascensions. including one
made singly, and one at night. To
qualify, it was necessary for him to
pilot the balloon under the supervi-
sion of licensed pilot. and Morgan
complied with the rules.
During the flight, Mr. Morgan acted
as pilot throughout, and his work met
with the complete approval of Leo
Stevens, who accompanied him. The
other occupant of the balloon was II
H. Timken. for whom it was the first
ascension.
The ascension took place from the
Canton Balloon park at 2:15. For
time the balloonists were undecided
about making the fight, but the eager
ness of Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Timken,
the former to complete his qualifica-
tion and the latter to make his first
ascension, prevailed and Mr.. Stevens
with little persuasion. accompanied
them.
The balloon. upon arising from the
park, at once struck a northerly
course, and as 1t passed over the city,
the people witnessed one of the most
beautiful ascensions ever made in Can
ton. A stiff breeze carried the bal
loon along at fast clip, and although
it was in the air little over two hours,
about fifty miles were covered, the
landing being made near Huntsburg,
in Geauga county.
Arrangements were made to spend
the night in Cleveland Mr.. Timken
Twas greatly pleased with his first ex-
perience in ballooning Morgan is ac-
corded the hearty congratulations of
all of the members of the club. for his
successful qualification. BY right of
his license under the rules of the
American Aeronautic society, Morgan
is entitled to recognition in balloon
ing organizations all over the world.

Word has been received in Canton
that a corruption fund Of 100000
has been raised for the use of the
Republicans in Ohio which would
provide ten thousand dollars for
each county outside of those that
could take care of themselves. There
is much speculation as to what
amount will be apportioned to Stark
county and the call to attend the con-
ference when this momentous ques-
ton will be settled is being awaited
with feverish anxiety.

DR.. T. c.. sEFFERT FOR CORONER.

To the Office of county coroner the
people are not in the habit of at
taching as much interest as they
ought. 1t is an Office in which many
abuses may exist 1t may cost the
county little money or it may cost it
much money. 1t is all owing to who
the coroner is.
The Democrats have put forward a
candidate for coroner who is emf
nently worthy the support of all
citizens.
DR.. T. C. Seffert is an active, en-
thusiastic Democrat. and one Of the
best known physicians in Canton. He
has high conception of official duty
and will make an ideal official when
elected.
