REUNION
OF Members Old Young
Mems Democratic Club
Planned
LAKE SEPT. 10

There was an enthusiastic meeting
of the survivors of the old Young
Mems Democratic club last night at
Democratic headquarters and a reun-
ion and formal campaign opening is
planned for September 10, at Meyers
lake or some other place as the COM
mittee may select. About so of the
former members of the club were
present and the greatest interest was
manifested in the proposition to for
mally get together and fight the old
battles over again and get ready for
the one coming this fall
Atlee Pomerene was chosen tempo
rary chairman of the meeting and
John C. Harmony secretary, and i'm
mediately discussion as to what
should be done in the nature OF re-
union was on. The plan which seem
ed to meet with most approval was for
reunion and banquet in two weeks,
to be held possibly at Meyers lake
and after this function for the new
Young Mems Democratic club and the
Bryan club to join the veterans and
with number of addresses to formal
~ launch the campaign which so
many feel is destined to be crowned
with success for the Democratic hosts.
After the discussion had given all
an idea of the sense Of the meeting a
committee was appointed by the chair
to make arrangements for the reunion
and what might be deemed flt in the
way of a program, the committee to
report at meeting TO be held next
Thursday night.

WHEAT CROP
In Stark County This Year Was &c
Per Cent Perfect and Averaged
25 Bushels Per Acre.

Stark county ranks foremost among
the counties of Ohio in the production
of wheat and in the quality they pro-
duce. A report to this effect was sub
mitted at the monthly meeting of the
Stark County Millers' association at
Beach City, Thursday, at which nearly
all of the millers of this section of
the state were present The Stark
County Millers' association is a branch
of the state organization of that name,
and millers from Canal Dover, ALI
ance, CoshOcton, Massillon, Canton,
and in fact every other city of any i'm
portance of this vicinity, attend these
meetings. Several well known speak.
ers, authorities upon matters relative
to the milling industry, addressed the
assembly, and various business mat.
ters were transacted.
The report in full of the wheat crop
in Stark county will not be ready until
the next meeting of the association.
The crop this year was &c per cent
perfect, a record that has not been
surpassed in this county in years
The average yield per acre throughout
the county was 25 bushels, while the
average yield in the state was but 20
bushels per acre.
Stark county has always occupied
high place among the grain producing
counties of Ohio and this year #
reached the top notch The yield is
not only larger than that in any other
county but the quality of the grain
is of the finest. The next meeting of
the organization will be held in Can
ton at the Courtland hotel, the date
to be announced later.

bank system; the democratic party
prefers the guaranteed bank because
1t is better for the depositor and bet
ter for the banker-it gives the de-
positor the security which he needs
and yet leaves the banking business
In the hands of the banks. But the
democratic platform declares for "a
postal savings bank If the guaran-
teed bank cannot be secured" and In
November more than ninety per cent
of the voters will by their ballots de-
mand either the guaranteed bank on
the postal savings bank. Can the
inanciers prevent the carrying out
of this demand?
There are only 10000 banks, while
there are 5000, 900 depositors, and
do not hesitate to declare that in
conflict between the two the deposit
tors have a prior claim to considera-
tons If we estimate the average
number of stockholders of each bank
at seventy-hve-and that is a liberal
estimate-the total number of stock
holders would only be million and
a half, OF one-tenth as many as there
are depositors. The stockholder is
not compelled to buy stock, while the
depositor is compelled to use the
banks, both for his own sake and
for the sake of the community, for
only by using the banks can he keep
his money part OF the circulating
medium. The guaranty law, there
fore, brings the greatest good to the
greatest number, as well as to those
who have the greater equity upon
their side.
There is another reason why the
claim of the depositor is superior to
the claim OF the stockholder. The
stoekholder has voice in the selec-
tion Of the bank oficlals; the depos-

END NOT YET.

Politically and industrially speaking
| 1t Is certain that the end is not vet. for
organized labor has set its face
squarely against the blast in a politi-
cal sense and remedial legislation
| must be had.
IT this legislation can be secured
! without further political activity, so
much the better, if not then labor's
battle for human rights on the polit-
1cal as well as the industrial field has
only just begun.
While results may not be as salts
factory as we would have them, still
the necessity for labor's political &C
ton was and is apparent, and in this
as we'll as in all the battles for the
rights of humanity, since the earliest
history Of the world was written, those
who lead the masses must expect to
be assailed, maligned and buffeted, but
it is the blood Of martyrs that has
given to civilization it's choicest bless
ings, and so we look ahead, eagerly
anticipating the success which is
bound to come to a cause whose foun-
dation is based upon the principle OF
right and Justice to humanity.
There are but 100000 members Of
organized labor in the United States
affiliated with the American Fedora
ton Of Labor. and considerable per-
centage Of that number are not vot-
ers. That the great majority stood
loyalty by Labor's cause in this cam
paign is positively proved by the re-
turns.
Roosevelt carried Pennsylvania four
years ago by 5O5.00O votes. This year
Taft carried the state by less than
100000. In this state alone there was
a Republican loss, therefore, of at
least $4,000 votes. Republican man.

Mob Violence,

If there is anything Socialists should
dread it is mob = spirit Socialist
speakers and writer's should do their
utmost to curb this spirit and impress
the. working class with the fact that
only by organized and intelligent ef-
forts will they be able to free them
selves of capitalist exploitation. x
We see enough of the fruitless horror
Of mob violence down here in the
sunny south, and we surely want no
needless repetitions of the "Commune''
and Terror" Was not Fourquier
right when, before mounting the gull
lotine, he asked the mob If their bread
would be any cheaper when his head
was OFF,?
While capitalism is teaching them
by empfying their stomachs let us
teach them by filling their brains.

an under-fed stomach. Such a brain
will see to it that the stomach gets
