dldate for the congressional nomi-
| nation, who had been in Marietta

brilliant manner
State Senator L. j. Eberle of Mel
sonville who so ably represented
this senatorial district in the last
general assembly, who was present
was called upon and made a short
address. Among other things, he
stated, that for number of years
prior to the present terrible bust
ent where Republicans were gath
cred, but what something was said
about 'the Cleveland panic" He
stated that he had served through
the longest session of the Ohio leg
1slature on record, the members. of |
which were largely Republicans,
and never once did he hear from
any Republican the term "Cleve-
land hard times" Hon. Frank N. |
Sweitzer, one of the leading at
torneys Of the Canton bar, who is
a candidate for Judge of the Court |
or Appeals in this district, had been
announced as one of the speakers of |
the evening. Owing to the fact
that the program was a lengthy
one, Atty Sweitzer did not speak
at length, stating that he hoped |
that he might be permitted to re-
turn later and discuss the issues of
the day. In his short talk Mr..
Sweitzer paid tribute to the mem
ory of the late Emmett A. Taylor.
Thus far Atty Sweitzer has no pri-
mary opposition. He served two
terms as prosecuting attorney of
Stark county; is a man of splendid
ability, and if nominated, which at
this time seems to be practically
assured, it would seem that he is
almost certain of election

complimented the Democratic wom-

ton, which is recognized as the
