The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1909-01-14

crat" Pomerene, upon arising, spoke
highly of the good accomplished by
Republican ladies on Democratic men,
and flung back at the toastmaster by
saying, "And if Dame Eumor has 1t
correct, it will not be long until an.
other Republican lady exert her in.
fiuence over our distinguished City
Solicitor"
Mr. Pomerene's subject was 'The
Young Man in Politics" He said in
part: How shall l define a young
man in politics? l look at Mr.. Sher-
rick, he is certainly a. young man.
There is John McSweeney, whom we
have heard of for the past 40 years.
It would be an injustice to call him
anything but a young man. What is a
young man in politics? What should
he do? 1t will confess that there has
been little in Democracy in recent
years to encourage the young man.
There are loftier things than Office
holding, and not this alone should be
the aim of the young men in politics.
had rather be a Democrat out of
Office than a Republican in office. 1t
is nothing to be ashamed of that we
have for ten years gone down to de-
feat.
The distinguished son-in-law from
Cincinnati, has stated that the Demo
Gratis have done nothing to their cred
ii for the past ten years. will say to
you that there has not been law of
merit placed upon the statute book
but that was placed there by the Dem
ocratic vote. The pure food law, and
the rebate law were both passed by
the power of Democracy and its insis-
tency for right. The Democrats out
of power have been greater in influ-
encing good than the Republicans in
power.
Tin Canton and Stark county, the
Democrats have been placed to dis
advantage by the fact that Mckinley
lived here, and we have been out of
power since his first election. In the
last campaign the Young Mems Dem
ocratic club showed what Democracy
united can do in old Molly Stark. If
continued and kept up, it will prove
an instrument not only of moral good
but of material good as well. Instead
of Stark county being pointed to as
having a Republican majority of from
1000 to 5000, the tide will be turned
with Democracy on top. You can't
kill the spirit of Democracy. It's in
fiuence is being spread throughout
this land and to other lands as well.
1t will rise against money and throw
it out OF power, and it will not be the
first time that the money changers
have been cast out of power. Let us
invoke the spirit of Jackson to aid us.
He then gave instances of the in
domltable will power of Jackson, and
this to that of Democracy,
and closing, he said: 1.-THE spirit of
Democracy, if she wants to succeed
she can and will. Let us decide that
we will stand for the right, do the
good, and we will conquer"
CAMPBELL'S ADDRESS.
James e. Campbell was introduced,
and as he arose thunderous applause
Allied the hall with an almost deafen-
ing effect. The banqueters again
arose to their feet, and rendered to
.he man, who stand in the highest
'ank of American Democracy, one of
he greatest ovations he had ever re-
,eived.
He outlined in general the life of
Jackson, and was warm in his praise
or the man, whose most popularity
Known characteristic was his irresist-
able will and his unquenchable ener-
gy. He said: 81 was raised in anti
Jackson atmosphere, among people
who gave him credit for being honest
put who branded him as a thick head
ed, pig-headed, headstrOng fool. ! will
admit that the flavor of the word
'headstrong," coming from Roosevelt
8 little strong, but that is the way
ne was termed.
by everyone he was believed an
Indian fighter, and even yet

he country he is pictured in that
manner.

"As an orator, he was fluent, forci-
