Aat little short of state convention
will serve to stir up political enthusi-
asm when the mercury is lowering
around ninety in the shade, 1t cam
mot be denied that there is some in
lerest being manifested in Democratic
rcles concerning the next election.
Ut is pretty hot weather for political
bees to be buzzing, but in Marion the
bees do not appear to mind little
perspiration. At any rate they are
doing little of the puzzing business
and It is well they are, for the time is
rapidly approaching when petitions
must be in the hands of the board of
elections. The time limit will be
reached in less than three weeks, or
on August 18th, and IL a candidats

he will have to make up his mind
pretty suddenly.
The voters and candidates must re-
member that the new primary law
becomes effective this fall and that in
order to get name on the ballot
at the primary, September 7th, a petit
tion must be circulated and signed by
two per cent. of the party vote in
the last election. This is the only way
in which a name can be gotten upon
the party ticket for the fail election.
OF course, names can be placed on an
independent ticket ny petition, just
as in the past, but all vacancies oc-
curing on a party ticket after the
primaries have been held, must re-
main vacancies in the election.
Whether or not the primary with
the abundance of red tape which
must be gone through with is a good
thing, remains to be demonstrated.
There is one thing sure. 1t will stop
every Tom, Dick and Harry from get
ting into the primaries and compli-
eating the matter of selecting candi-
dates. But, while this Is true. 1t is
also feared that the necessary red
tape win deter many good men from
entering the race for the various
municipal and township Offices. where
god men are needed to administer
the affairs which come closest home.
A number OF most excellent men
have been mentioned in connection
with the city offices for tho coming
terms. and some of them are already
In the field with petitions which have
tsen and are being signed by their
friends. Others have declined to cir
culate a petition for themselves bat
are said to be willing to accept the
nomination II their name is properly
placed on the primary ticket and they
are selected to represent their party.
Among the men sn the Democratic
party who have already entered the
race are: For mayor. Charles B.
Jenkins. John II. McDonough and
Charles Schneider. All are good men
for the place and each will have a
goodly following In the primaries.
These men all have their petitions full
ly signed and ready to be presented
TO the board Of elections.

A|RSH|P MAN
After Canton Bonuses
For Flying
Machine
TO SAIL BY APRIL 1

Ira Seward, of Coshocton, is build
ing a heavier-than-air flying machine,
and so confident of the success of his
device is he that he is already plan
ming upon going after what he un-
derstands to be standing and open
cash bonuses in Canton for such
machine.
Stewards device is of the aeroplane
type, but beyond that rs details have
been allowed the public. The inven-
tor claims to have some ideas which
have never been applied to aerial nav
igation upon which he depends for
success.
He hopes to be flying by April 1.
The apparatus for controlling the ma
chine while in the air has been COM
pleted and the frame work has been
constructed in sections but cannot be
assembled until larger secret work
ing place can be secured. Just where
the work is being done only those
engaged at it know, but Mr.. Seward
admits that the place is too small
to set up the machine. He says he
has ordered an engine for motive pow
er but does not expect it to reach Co
shocton for several weeks.
Il know the principle we are work
ing up is bettsr than any that has yet
been tried in heavier-than-air ma
Chimes said Seward, "and l am going
to take one, if not two of the Can
ton prizes If the gentleman will only
give us time to complete the machine
before Withdrawing the offers
The Coshocton inventor evidently re-
fers to the $3.50 prize offered by Frank
s. Lahm at the recent Aero club ban
quet to the inventor of a heavier
than-air machine that will carry a
passenger and fly one mile, and to the
propositions made to W. H. Martin,
the Canton inventor, by w. r. Tim
ken.
The Lahm offer was made to the
public at large and is still open-will
be for year or more. Mr.. Seward ev-
identity does not know that the Timken
offers, which we're 100000 for ma
chine that would fly to Cleveland
and back in one day without alight-
ing enroute and $4,000 for machine
that would make the trip to Massillon
and return in two hours under the
same conditions, expired last Thurs
day. The offer was made year ago
but was not given publicity until the
recent banquet. 1t was made per-
sonally TO Mr.. Martin but the wording
for a machine that will fly" etc,
carrying yourself or some other
passenger" etc, and this might be in
tepreted as making the offer general
and open to the public. 1t is possible
that Mr.. Seward may make an effort
| to have Mr.. Timken renew his offers.

ANOTHER ARREST
TO BE MADE SOON

Dayton, o., Feb 7.-Police found to-
day that Elizabeth Fulhart, the girl
found dead in a cistern, appeared at
the Commercial Eating house on De-
cem,ber 2S and asked for a position but
the manager had no work. He took
her address, III South st. Claire
street. At this house detectives, could
find no one who knew anything about
the girl. 1t is thought Miss Fulhart
knew it was a rooming house and in
tended to get room there if she got
a position. Chief Allaback tonight said
another arrest would be made in the
case early this week. The young man
named Cooley, held in connection with
the murder was Telased today, as the
police could not connect him with it.
Albert Wilkie, sweetheart of Lizzie Full
hart, will also be released soon, it is
said, as the police say he is entirely
innocent. Autopsy shows girl was not
pregnant, nor has she sustained a
criminal operation. Contents of stom-
ach have not yet been examined. Po-
lice say girl may have been drugged.
There are no marks of violence on the
body,

MYSTERY
Shrouds Actions Young
Man who Called
at Woll Home
USE OF PHONE A FAKE

While Mr. and Mrs. ]. X. Vol. of
1411 North Market street, were enter
tanning a number of friends at din
ner party Sunday evening, there was a
gentle top at the front door, which
was answered by a niece of the cou-
pie. When the door was opened
young man, an entire stranger, STEP
ped into the vestibule and asked the
privilege of using the telephone. The
phone is in the dining room where the
guests were seated and after making a
slight apology for disturbing the as
semblage he went to the phone and
apparently called up number. 1t
was noticed that he held one arm
on the hook from which the receiver
was taken and then carried on what
was supposed to be a conversation
with some young person at the other
end of the line. He spoke to the party
something about receiving a package
and while passing out of the house
he called to Mr.. Woll and told him he
would likely learn all about this pack
age through the newspapers during
the week. When the man left Mrs.
Woll asked the telephone operator to
connect again with the party that had
just been called from her home and
was much surprised to learn that no
call had came from the Woll home
during the evening. The police head
quarters was communicated with and
a description of the man was given
to Patrolman Zimmerman who re-
sponded to their call. Just what the
mans intentions were is unknown. 1t
is said that this same man called at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Russell
Chase a short time ago and told Mrs.
Chase that he desired to look through
the house, saying that Mr.. Chase
wanted to sell it to him, that he was
much pleased with the outside and de-
sired to see the interior. Mrs. Chase
said that her husband had never told
her about offering their home for sale
and asked the young man to wait a
second until she called her husband up
by telephone. When she advanced to
the telephone he took to his feet and
ran away.

PROTEST AGAINST
GOMPER'S DECISION

At mass meeting held in Social
lists hall, Massillon, the following res
olutions were presented and after dis
cussion unanimously adopted:
Whereas, the sentencing of Samuel
Morrison by Judge Wright for con-
tempt of court and the bitter language
and the manner in which he express
ed his views, shows clearly that it was
not so much a question of equi-
ty with him as it was a
desire to do the bidding and wishes
of the class that secured him the Of
fetal position he now holds, and
Whereas, in newspaper interview
he indicated a mind highly prejudiced
against trade unions and the working
class in general and it seemed to af-
ford him much pleasure and satisfac-
ton in passing sentence,
Therefore, be it resolved: That we
protest against that decision as being
unjust and a denial of the free speech
guaranteed by the founders of our
government and species of tyranny
like that which IS inseparably connect
ed with despotism like Russia, and
be it,
Further resolved, that we call upon
all union men and wage workers of
our country, to unite politically and
secure control of the judiciary and the
law making powers of the country and
use them in their own interest and in
doing this they will be acting in ac-
cordance with the wishes of the sign
ers of the Declaration of Independ-
ence-to alter or abolish all laws con-
trary to the spirit of freedom and
independence.
A large and enthusiastic audience
was present. Attorney Allen Cook, OF
Canton, delivered an able and forceful
address on The Constitutional Right
of Free Speech and a Free Press
which met with hearty approval.
The Socialists are very active. They
have their own hall, provided witt
chairs and tables, library and read
ing room. They hold a social every
Tuesday evening and a public lecture
every Sunday afternoon.

which the fees would have secured
might have proven temptations at
times, but IL they did he resisted them,
and ii was this characteristic that
earned him the sobriquet of Honest
Abe"
His rugged life in the undeveloped
west, most of it spent in the open,
together with his temperate life we're
cited as giving him the strength and
endurance for the four years of heavy
burdens such as no ordinary man
could carry.
In conclusion DR.. Buxton said the
nation now has need of such men in
as great degree as It did then and
that without them the republic can
not endure. An as it is in the ma
tion, so is it in the cities. Men like
Lincolyn must be found to solve our
civic problems or our local govern
ment must fail. Municipal corruption
exists now as never before. I'VE
found the proof of this in San Fran
cisco year ago. We found it in
Pittsburg later, and perhaps, should
we look we might find it much nearer
home"
