looks and talks like millionaire, dis
posed of a general merchandise store
in Sierra Madre recently and on the
proceeds of the transaction started
with his wife on life of leisure. He
purchased an automobile in Los An
geles and embarked for San Francisco.
At Sierra Madre the machine met
with an accident. 1t was there that
young Taylor also met the Pages
purely by accident. Page wanted some
one to assist him in plotting his ma
chine to San Francisco, and Taylor was
just drunk enough to undertake the

tives had worked several hours on the

had the money hidden away in her
trunk.

automobile bill of SS5 and couldn't pay
it. The chauffeur was anxious. So was

bank that had been given him by Mrs.
Page. An hour after his departure
from the cafe Mrs. Page telephoned to
Schiff Brothers not to honor the draft.

ROT TEN
Are Old Wires on Square
Says Electrician and
Will Fall on
CROWDS ASSEM- BLED

While commenting upon the death
of John Imhof, who was electrocuted
while in the employ of the Canton
Electric Co., former electrician said:
Say Mr.. Morning News, l want to
say a little something right here.
Some years ago l helped to build the
electric light line from Commerce
street west on Tuscarawas street
through the square. Most of the old
wires that are stretched over the
square at the present time are what /
call rotten and some of these days
you will have headlines over the en-
tire first page of your paper telling of
the people that were killed by the
falling of that network of wires.
Think of 1t, with crowded square, as
you often see 1t. Those wires will
come down some of these times, am
positive of 1T. The time has come
when all high-tension wires should be
buried and il this Is not compelled by
our officials they should be held for
criminal negligence should anything
occur. Mark It, you will see people
cooked alive on the public square II
something is not done. People do not
know what danger they are subjecting
themselves to when they walk over
the public square"

of Acceptance.

Millersburg, o., Sept. 20.-The Re-
publicans held their, county conven-
tion yesterday afternoon with but a
few in attendance. The proceedings
were positive proof that every Re

loyalty of every other Republican in
this campaign, as men prosposed for
the several offices were challenged on
account of their doubtful Republican,
ism. OF all that were named but two
were present and Of the ticket named

or more of them will vote the Demo-
cratic ticket. or at least part of 1t.
To cap the climax, William Ling, of

acceptance numerically scored the
present state administration and pro-
nounced the state officials as grafters

CONSERVATION and an adjournment was
quickly taken after his speech for
fear that some other one would let
loose ana create a panic. Everything
points to tremendous majority in
this county for Bryan and Harmon.
A big Democratic club was organized
at Kilibuck on Saturday night and
many Republicans there will vote the
Democratic ticket In November and
also all over the county.

TELLS TAFT TO-
FIRE MANAGERS

Chicago, Sept 20.-The News, an
Independent paper, but strong sup
porter of the Roosevelt policies, prints
a remarkable editorial calling on Taft
to rid himself of his managers, come
out in the open and fight. The News
says:
"The time has come for Mr.. Taft
to demonstrate that he has sporting
blood. The tanning process has gone
on too long. The people of the United
States do not want to elect grand
lama to the White House. They want
for president mortal statesman with
sweat on his brow and strong words
in his mouth.
at is the opinion of The Daily
News that the campaign of William
Howard Taft is being mismanaged
abominably. The effort to make a
tame cat of great man is enough to
make the blood of every honest Amer
ican boil.
Taft has got to brush aside these
amazing bunglers. He has got to step
out before the people and be him
self to the full extent of his command
ing personality. No Samson with shorn
locks is going to be acceptable to the
people of the United States as Roose-
velt's successor"

MARLBORO
Opens Democratic Cam
.paign and Forms
Bryan Club
GRAND REVIVAL

That the interest manifested in the
present campaign is as wildly enthus-
iastic in the rural sections of the
county as in the cities, was plainly
demonstrated by the monster turnout
of the Bryan club of Marlboro, Sat-
urday night, at which Atlee Pomerene
made an address and highly instruc-
tive campaign speeches from Mr.. Bry-
an, were reproduced by phonograph.
For several weeks the Democratic
campaign has been conducted with un-
tagging zeal and the good results of
the work of the party leaders in that
district of the county were shown
when about 500 voters turned out at
the meeting Saturday night. The
chairman of the Bryan club of that
city is Edward Schweitzer. who has
taken a very active part since the
opening of the campaign, in perfecting
the organization, and he has been
ably assisted in this work by Ralph
Pennick, who has been elected secre-
tary of the club. So we'll have they
Infused interest in the campaign
among the Democratic voters of that
section, that the membership list now
has 11S names, and there are immedi-
ate prospects for the securing of new
Bryanites.
The whole, evening was a grand re-
vival of Democracy in Marlboro. The
meeting was perhaps the most highly
successful gathering held in Stark
county in the present campaign, and
the enthusiasm was added to mater
tally by the spirited music furnished
by the Marlboro band. making the
evening perhaps the most eventful one
in the annals of that lively village.
Six speeches were heard from Bryan
over the phonograph, all of which
were immensely appreciated by the
audience. Then Mr.. Pomerene took
the rostra, and In an address that held
the attention of his listeners from be-
ginning to end and his auditors warm
ly endorsed his remarks on guarantee
to bank depositors.
Among those prominent in Stark
county political circles who were pres
ent were Edwin Deford. candidate for
state senator, Of Minerva. and o. ].

tativeship.

COX'S COHESIVE POWER

The people Of Ohio have William H.
Taft's word for II that George b
Cox's control as a political boss in
Cincinnati, is founded on the cohe

In like manner the people of Ohio
have seen Cox apply the same "cohe

to state affairs until he has for years
been the dominant factor at state
conventions. 1t was so in the con-
vention this year, which indorsed
Mr.. Taft for president and appor-

little bosses banded together by that
same cohesive power" of which Mr..
Taft had so much to say in his
speech at Akron three years ago.
