REGISTRATION
In Canton Exceeds the
Expectations Of Every
one, Total Being lI,24e
$500 IN MASSILLON

The official returns from the regis
trars of the thirty-seven precincts in
this city Saturday evening which gives
a total of 11,249 voters having regis
tered on the four registration days,
was big surprise to everyone. Many
prominent politicians in Canton were
of the opinion that this city would do
well If 10000 electors would register.
In Massillon the same conditions exist
ed and it is thought that nearly every
voter turned out at his precinct in the
first registration ever held in that city
to register. The exact number having
registered in that city could not be
learned yesterday but it is thought
that the total will exceed BATS.
The returns of the registration in
Canton and Massillon promises a rec
ord breaking vote to be cast at the
presidential election In November, if
that has anything to do with it. In
glancing over the statistics of the
election in this city for the presiden-
tial nominees in 1904 it is shown that
just 7754 votes were cast This year
that number will in all probabilities be
exceeded by nearly four thousand In
Massillon large vote will also be cast
as member of the board of elections
in that city remarked yesterday that
everybody is interested in the coming
election and that there were very few
voters In that city who had failed to
register. The exact number who have
| registered in that city will be known
at noon today when all of the regis
trars Will have brought in their books
and charts. The total registration of
Massillon is expected to reach the
$500 mark.
The total registration for 1908 in
the various precincts in Canton is as
follows:
First ward-Precinct A, 346; B.
236; G, 24S; D, 3O1; b, 452; F, 31SI

SHERIFFS MUST SIGN
REPORT HEREAFTER

The investigations held at the Mas
sillon State hospital In the early part
Of last June by the State Board of
Charities concerning the strange cir
cumstances surrounding the death of
the late John Adams. has added an
other step toward the process of pa
tients gaining admission to that insti-
tuition. The sheriffs of the various
counties who send patients to be ad-
mitted to the hospital will now have
to take an active part and share part
of the blame. They will have to be
present at the time an insane person is
examined to gain admittance. assist
the physicians and nurses conducting
the physical examination, take note
of all the marks on his or her body
and then be asked. to sign the report.
Heretofore, it has been the custom
at the hospital to have the examina-
tion conducted by the physicians and
nurses of the institution. They then
signed a report and that was all there
was to 1t. 1t is hoped that by the
step taken that it can be learned
whether or not the patient dies from
the effects of injuries received at the
hospital or from the injuries received

RE- ACTED
Did the Threat of a Separator Works
TO Close il Bryan Was Elected.
Competitor Says He Will Take over
Every Man Who Loses His Job.

The efforts made by certain en-
ployers to intimidate their employees
to vote for Mr.. Taft are not succeed
ing in the way the Republicans desire.
Some time ago the Sharples Separator
Company, an eastern concern, in a
desperate attempt to force it's work.
men to vote the Republican ticket,
threatened them with the loss of en-
ployment by closing down It's shops
in the event of Mr.. Bryan's election.
The threat was merely bluff on the
ticket, and was called by w. w.
Marsh, president of the Iowa Separator
Company, of Waterloo, Iowa. Mr..
Marsh believes that instead of bust
ness depression following the election
of Mr.. Bryan. that there will be busi-
ness prosperity. Should the Sharples
Company close its shops following Mr..
Bryan's election, and thus throw its
employees out OF work, he promises to
give every man who loses his job with
the Sharples Company employment at
his own plant. In this connection he
has addressed the following letter to
Chairman Mack, of the Democratic Ma
tional COMMITTEES:
Waterloo. Iowa, October IA, 1908.
Norman E. Mack. Chairman.
Democratic National Committee.
Chicago. Ills.
Dear Sir:-I have seen the threat of
the Sharples Separator Company to
close own their shops in the event of
Mr.. Bryan's election. We, as the
largest manufacturers of Cream Sepa-
rators in the United States. will agree,
in the event of the election of Mr..
Bryan and the threat Of the Sharples
Company being put into effect, to take
the men into our employ In view of
the fact that the finished product of the
steel trust is the raw material of a
| separator factory. and under the pres
ent tariff the steel trust is permitted
to charge us so per cent more. and
does charge us so per cent more than
we could purchase In the worlds mar
ket, the Sharples Company must be
talking as shareholders in the United
States Steel Corporation rather than
as separator manufacturers.

In mail received at Democratic
national headquarters yesterday,
there was letter which gives line
on the Ohio situation. and which re-
fleets actual conditions in many other
states. The writer referred to a
manufacturer who had just completed
a poll OF the men In his factory. There
are 1900 voters in this Ohio enter
prise. Normally, 800 of the men are
republicans. AS result of that poll
the fact was disclosed that less than
200 of the 1900 men will vote for
Judge Taft. The efforts at coercion
on the part of republicans has failed
miserably In this campaign.

OHIO FACTORY POLL

Chicago, ILL.,, Dot. 18.-Republ1-
can campaign managers have been
endeavoring to create the impression
that James Duncan, first vice presi-
dent of the American Federation OF
Labor, is not in sympathy with the
labor movement advocated by Mr..
Gompers, urging union labor TO sup
port it's friends and defeat it's enc
mics in the present campaign. Mr..
Duncan was advised of this fact and
asked to state his attitude In the
matter. His reply is explicit and
gives the lie to the republican mana
gers, who have been seeking to place
him in a false light. MIR. Duncan
said:
president Gompers and I are In
unison now, as we have been for
many years, on the present as we'll
as other principles and policies OF

the recent circular, as well as pro-
gram of the Executive Council Of the

not a partisan contention on the part
of organized labor. IT'S interests have
been assaiIed by judicial decision and
the congress failed to give relief, and
now an appeal for justice La made to
all the people on broad general lines,
and it is the duty of labor officials to
give the true facts to the working
people, in turn will use the informa-
tion, and, as true American citizens,
will vote an election day as their con-
sciences dictate"
The democratic national committee
is advised of several different forms
of coercion or attempt to influence
employees of big concerns to vote for
Mr.. Taft One of these comes from
Coatesville. Pa. where the Lukons
Iron & Steel Company has adopted
the scheme of placing Taft button
In the pay envelope of each of its
workingmen A similar means of in
timidation is being used by the
Coatesville Boiler Works and also
the Worth Brothers Company of the
same place. The inference is clear
that in each of these instances the
employers are endeavoring to induce
their employees to vote the republic
can ticket.
Another plan of intimidation is be-
ing tried by the National Tile Com
pany. said to be branch of the trust,
at Anderson. Ind. This concern has

In front Of the pay window in its Of

comes up to get his weekly wage, he
is confronted with the suggestion that
his employers are for Taft and the
intimation that they desired him to
vote the republican ticket. This con-
Germ has also informed its employees
that If Bryan is elected. not a wheel
in their shop will turn. A similar
scheme. is .practiced. by the ]. w. Sef-
ton Mfg, Co., also of. Anderson. Each
of those concerns employe between
three and four hundred men and ac-
cording to reports which come to
democratic headquarters, the men
strongly resent this attempt to CO.

Street names spelled out in bright
colors or figures and imbedded in ce.
ment walks are one of the most re-
cent innovations in American city
architecture. The plan has been tried
in Kansas City on all the large boule-
wards, the main idea being not to dis
figure the street and houses by the
usual printed signs that are placed on
the walls Of corner houses or fastened
to the lamp posts at the intersections
of the streets. The name of each
boulevard is spelled out in letters
from six to eight inches high, formed
with stones about one-half inch
square laid in the cement sidewalk,
similar to the tile or ceramic mosaic
work which is now so frequently seen
in the vestibules Of buildings.

When science through the medium
of Darwin and his co-laborers made
monkeys of us in retrospect we were
startled. That discovery, however,
revolutionary though 1t was, cannot
be classified as any more wonderful
than are other discoveries now being
made or announced in low tone of
voice by the discoverer at some meet
ing Of scientists. Usually he mentions
what he has found out in a casual
way as If he didn't think much of it
but wanted to get it off his mind SO
that he might return to his laboratory
and put in eight hours or so a day
making more discoveries. II this sort
of thing keeps on we shall soon know
as much about our internal machinery
and the workings thereof as we now
know about the stars. In fact, we
shall be as familiar with the alimen-
tary canal as with the canals of Mars.
When a man gets sick he will drag
himself to the repair shop and the

OF their experiments for the year.
