n che Democrats cannot success
fully challenge the Republican claim
to superior administrative ability,
they can honestly claim that the
Democratic party has been the great
champion of individual rights and Of
the liberties of the people. It is es-

never more needed than it is today.
If Mr.. Hoover is Republican in
respect to administrative capacity, he
is Democrat in respect to decen-

The argument for his nomination
does not stop there. One of the great
organs of British Liberalism, the
London Nation, recently declared that
Mr.. Hoover was the ablest man that
the war had produced.
Most of the candidates who have
thus far announced themselves, DEM

F. T. ST|NE VICTIM
OF PNEUMONIA
Dies Wednesday Night at Fair
view hospital.-Death Result
Double Pneumonia, Following
Flu.
FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS
HAVEN'T BEEN MADE

Floyd E. Stine died at Fairview
hospital, Cleveland, Wednesday night
the result of an attack Of double
pneumonia from which he had been
suffering for several days.
Mr.. Slime was taken ill a week
ago Monday and remained at home.
He had regular case Of grippe or
flu as SOME call it, but was apparent
ly on the road to recovery. Friday
he telephoned his law partner, Frank
Woods, that he would be on hand
Monday morning.
Later Friday, however, Mr.. Slime
suffered dizzy spell and went back
to his bed. He continued to grow
worse, however, and complained of
severe pains which led doctors to
warrant guess that he had pleurisy
or that his kidneys were affected.
Monday night his condition grew SER
.ious and he was taken to the Cleve-
land hospital, but an X-ray examin-
alton on Tuesday failed to reveal
anything out of the ordinary.
Wednesday morning word was re-
ceived that double pneumonia had
set in and it was at this time that
Mr.. Stine's friends and relatives be-
gan to become seriously alarmed over
his condition. Thursday morning
word came that he had passed away
sometime after ten o'clock the night
before. His wife, father and his
father-in-law, Mr.. Scott Bennett,
had been in attendance at Mr.. Stine's
bedside during his sickness and were
present at the time of his death.
Mr.. Slime was we'll known in Me-
dina county, where he had just sue
ceeded in making a name for him
self in the lawyers profession. He
had practiced in Cleveland, following
his graduation from Western Re-
serve Law school, and later took up
the practice of law in Wadsworth,
where he remained for a number of
years.
June 20, 1916 he was married To
Elsie Bennett, daughter of Scott Ben
nett, of Medina and for a time the
couple made their home in Wads-
worth. He served as prosecuting at
torney and was elected to this Office
at the last election. The Stine
family moved to Medina shortly af-
ter his first receiving the prosecutor
ship.
January this year Mr.. Stine
formed a partnership with F. w.
Woods, forming the firm known as
Woods & Stine. They had been in
their new quarters but a week when
Mr.. Slime was taken i'll.
Mr.. Slime is survived by wife
and baby two years old, and by a
father who resides in Wadsworth.
Arrangements for funeral services
had not been made as the Sentinel
went to press.
In the death of Floyd E. Stine Me-
dina county last an able prosecutor
and representative, the village a high
ly esteemed citizen, the lawyers fra
ternity an able member and the writ
er a warm personal friend.

And NOW We WILL
Be ASKED TO PAY
!. MORE FOR OUR GAS
Ohio Gas & Fuel Co. Will Pres
/, ent Petition Before Council
v Asking New Body to Grant
SUBSTANTIAL Increase.
COMPANY'S REQUEST
WARRANTS A TURN DOWN

According to information which
came to light this week Medina gas
consumers are going to be asked to
pay an increase in rate for this pro-
duct, and this before the present con-
tract with the gas campany expires.
Although nothing definite could be
Learned the new rate asked will be
45lcents per thousand feet, a flat in
crease of 10 cents per thousand over
the present rate.
The new schedule will be submitted
to council at it's next regular meeting,
which is next Tuesday night, Feb. 10.
During the fall of 1918, officials of
the Medina Gas & Fuel Co., worked
with members Of council until they
succeeded in getting 10 cent raise
effective Jan. 1, 1919. This raise
brought the rate from rs cents a
thousand up to 35 cents.
The contract the company had with
council called for rs cent gas until the
spring Of 1921. Shortly before Janu-
ary, 1919, members of the gas COM
parry put up every available kind of
a plea that they were being forced to
the wall, etc., and finally prevailed
upon the city fathers to grant them an
increase of 10 cents per thousand feet,
with the provision that the contract
between the council and the company
be extended one year from 1921,
which would bring the expiration
date in the spring of 1922.
Company officials used every means
at their disposal to show whereby
they must have this increase and pro-
duced figures, some Of which were
presumed to be correct and some Of
which were known to be incorrect. All
the time the officials of the company
put up the guarantee that this would
be the last raise asked for until the
expiration of their contract.
And now just one year has passed.
The company must have more money
again, we suppose. And they will
probably have mass Of evidence and
figures with them to show how much
they are going behind every minute.
This after all their solemn promises
never to mention gas rates until their
lcontsact expired. ...s.. .... !, .l
Z An official Of the gas company is
reported to have said that the COM
pany would be sure to see that no
members Of the company who repre-
sented them in the last rate contro-
versy would be present at any of the
conferences this year, intimating
that it wouldn't be healthy, perhaps,
for one of this number to show his
face in the councilmaniae chamber.
What council will do with the re-
quest that they allow the company to
charge As cents per thousand for gas,
remains to be seen, but needless to
say the matter should be definitely
tabled until the present contract with
the gas company expires.
AS several citizens stated to the
Sentinel Wednesday, Medina will have
to pay the limit for her gas when once
her contract does expire, why not let
the company sweat for their money,
AS long as they have clearly shown
that their word cannot be believed.

SATURDAY NIGHT MEETING

The Court House auditorium was
we'll filled Saturday night to greet
Messrs. Eaton, Schwartz and Welty.
OF Akron, but not one of them came.
All had good excuses and so their alb
sence was overlooked and the meet
ing proceeded to the discussion of a
rubber plant for Medina. Harry Cod
ding was chosen chairman for the
evening.
Mr.. Codding restated the PROPOSE
tlon for the benefit of those who had
not attended previous meeting. He
explained who the Messrs. Eaton.
Schwartz and Welton were, and told
how they had come to be interested
IN the proposition in Medina. AS it
was generally known that other cities
were bidding for the rubber plant.
and as it was possible some of the
absentess' excuses had to do with this
feature of the case, there was some
little doubt in the minds of some as to
whether or not some other city might
not have an edge" on Medina at this
time.
Messrs. Codding, Pelton, Thatcher.
Bigelow, Hyde, Smith, Boyden, De-
Armitt, Morrison, Wood, Fuller, and a
score OF others expressed themselves
on the proposition itself and the need
for doing something to help in the
boosting of Medina at this time. There
was not dissenting voice as to the
proposition; some had one view of the
improvement, while others visualized
the proposition differently from a
neighbor; but one and all agreed
that there was a need of starting
something, and the quicker the better.
The younger element in the audi
ence gave proposition offered by Mr..
Eaton more credence than did older
men-the men who had met more ups
and downs in life. The older men
were as enthusiastic in their hopes
and desires, but showed larger de-
gree Of caution; did not want to ac-
cept as Gods truth all that was told
them; cautioned against too high
hopes and wished to instill watchful-
ness at every stage of the proceed
ings.
Evryone wants to see this proposed
rubber industry brought to Medina, if
it can be made profitable; if it can
not be secured at advantageous terms
then they want to see something else
secured. Business is booming at this
time and Medina must get into the
swim while the swimming is good;
Medinaites don't want to pay two
prices for whistle but they want 4

COMMITTEE OF five
MAKE ORAL REPORT
FOR RUBBER PLANT
Show Tire By Proposed Formula

Citizens Carry Away Sample
Pieces.
ADJOURNED MEETING is
HELD SATURDAY NIGHT

A business mems meeting in City
Hall Friday night, under the aus
pices of the Medina Board of Trade,
drew forth over so citizens to hear
the report from the committee sent
to Akron to inquire into the propos-
ed rubber factory for Medina. The
committee comprised Messrs. Pelton,
Codding, Smith, Hyde and DeArmett,
and a favorable report was unani-
nous.
Mr.. Pelton presided and as he
came into the hall he threw a used
tire on the floor with the invitation
to "Help yourself, if you have sharp
knife and can cut it." 1t was a tire
made by the proposed new formula,
with the new Schwartz mold, at the
Firestone pl ant in Akron, and had
been run-as reported to the commit
tee-some $500 miles. The tire was
in very good condition and many were
pleased with it's appearance. Pieces
were cut off and taken away for fur
ther examination.
Messrs. Pelton and Codding made
the more considerable reports of the
evening, Mr.. Hyde backing up their
statements, and many questions were
asked by business men present.
Citizens present who knew tires Of
fered certain suggestions for diges-
tion by the citizens interested.
Verbal report was made that the
owner of the property under consider
alton for site was trying to with
draw his option-if the offer of sale
by his agents may be considered an
option-but the citizens present with
one accord gave voice to the effect
that any attempt to block progress in
Medina would be resented
Report was made that Messrs.
Eaton, Schwartz, and another interes-
ted man named Welty would come
Medina for another meeting, to be
held in the Court House Saturday ev-
ening. 1t was said, too, that these
gentlemen had representatives in
Columbus arranging for the incorpo-
ration and that these papers would be
completed in time for the Saturday
night meeting. Plans were so far
along, the report said, that there was
certain to be rubber company plant
built some where, and if Medina did
not stir herself she would lose this
opportunity.
The statement was further volun-
teered that another small city was
ready to complete the contract with
the Akron enterprise, and was now
being held in allegiance to give Me-
dina her opportunity.
Every one present was urged to at
tend the meeting Of Saturday night,
and in the meantime to study over
what ne could and would do to help
along the whole proposition.

Present auditors under the new

four year term was thought advisable
on account of the large amount Of

PROF. HATTON WRITES
ON CITY MANAGEMENT

Prof A. R. Hatton, of w. R. IT,,
has promised to come to Medina as
soon as he can find an open date, to
talk on the proposition Of city man.
ager. This is topic with which the
Professor is very familiar, to which
he has given much study, and it is
one that has considerable of interest
to Medina citizens. Writing on the
proposition in an article on condi-
tions at Sandusky, he says:
"It is noticeable that the advice of
managers everywhere is more conser-
vative than that of politically-chosen
mayors. A mayor is here today and
tomorrow he is not. He is prone to
promise extensive improvements in
order to boost his chances of election,
for, at best, the promises of mayor
atty candidate made on the stump are
not regarded as rigidly binding. They
are in about the same category as the
statements of the honest farmer in a
horse trade-to be considered as con-
ditioned by the circumstances and
theical standards of that particular
type of transaction. A city manager
expects to go on thru period of years
and his hope of doing SO rests in no
small degree on the proved soundness
of his advice to the council. He must
live with that advice and, therefore,
it must be we'll considered.
Medina citizens will listen to Prof.
Hatton with interest from the fact
that in the hearts of the voters of the
city there is feeling there may be
something better in store, while now
they feel there can not be much that
is worse than what they are now ex-
periencing. y
