DEMOCRATIC OPPORTUNITY

The campaign conducted by Mcssrs.
Taft and Roosevelt have thoroughly
disguised a great many thousands Of
the earnest intelligent Republicans
OF the country There could be but
but one end to the Chicago convcn-
ton and that was disaffcction. The
success of President Taft was GER
taihly to be attained by the revolt OF
Roosevelt. The success OF Col. Rooscl
vcli would have been attended by the
apathy and indifference OF the Taft
supporters even though they did not
openly repudiate the ticket and plat
form II thoy did not support the
Democratic ticket a, the November
election. The Roosevelt bolt was com
pletely disrupted the party. 1t is now
up to the Democrats to conduct the
Baltimore convention in dieni6ed,
intelligent manner and success is as
sured
The campaign conducted by Hon.
Champ Clark for the nomination has
left no sore spots. He has not entered
any state which has a favorite son in
the field. In consequence after a few
ballots the delegations pledged to
other candidates will one by one swing
into line for the speaker. The con
vention can do nothing wiser than 10
nominate Clark This undoubtedly
win happen
In the state affairs are in an equally
avorable condition for the success OF
the Democratic party. A red hot prin,-
airy campaign is now on which will
do as much to disrupt the Republic,a
party IN state affairs as the Roosevei Z
Taft campaign has done in national
affairs. and that will be amply suffic-
'cnt The chairman Of the Republican
Central Committee has repeatedly
plunged himself and his party into
embarrassing situations. One of the
candidates for the Republican nomi-
nation is under grave indictment in

TAFT WINS AT CHICAGO

The Chicago convention concluded
rs labors last week by the rcnomina-
ton Of both William II Taft and
James S. Sherman, for president and
yice-president, respectively This was
the final result OF one OF the bttcrest,
most undigni6ed. and most disgust
ing campaigns ever conducted in the
Republican party Trcachery, dis
honesty, breach OF faith, jobbery,
theft, insanity and other similar
charges we're made against each candi-
date by the other Each was equally
jealous in convincing the country
that the other candidate was untitled
for the presidency and it would seem
that they quite thoroughly accomp-
Iisied their purpose
The Hearld rejoices in the nomina-
ton OF Mr. Taft II we must have
Republican in power let him be
honest. reliable and SYM
pathetical with the institutions of his
country. There is nothing that Mr..
Roosevelt would not do II again en-
trusted with power He wants to
insure the rule Of the people" as in
.erperted and directed by Theodore
Roosevelt Unable to do this he will
now do his utmost to destroy Taft
by defeating the Republican party In
his he is very likely to be successful
His trump convention consisting OF the
dissatisfied, reckless and revolution
lry in the Republican party with such
others as he may gather will nomin-
ate Col. Roosevelt and defeat Presi-
dent Taft.

The Growing importance Of Parma

The necessity that prompted the
Parma Milling & Elevator Co. to let
the contract for 10000 bushel grain
elevator to cost upwards of $20,000.00,
indicates as few things could the grow
ing importance Of this immediate Sec
ton as an agricultural country. The
erection OF this elevator became nee
essary in order to handle the grain
crop. In other lines of agricultural
and horticultural development this
country is going right ahead More
fruit trees are being planted every
year; more hay is raised every year;
more and better grade of live stock is
being raised. In face the advance ex-
tends all along the line and in every
direction The future of Parma is very
bright indeed

Mr.. Nelson occupied the greater
part of the time and handled the de-
ceptive Democratic financial argu-
ments and the failure OF the admin

law in AN admirable manner. Mr. Dut-
ton spoke briefly. on account of be-
ing somewhat hoarse, but made many
telling points in his address. showing
how the Democrats had taxed the
towns needlessly for the sake of hav-
ing big balance in The treasury at
the beginning OF the present cam
rairn in ordnr to deceive those not
acquainted with the manner in which
money came into the treasury from
the State taxes.
