CoIuMsts, ONO, Ess SIN an interview
Allen W. Thurman says: MIR. Campbell win
give US a clean and clear administration"
"will the legislature abolish the registration
system2'
mo, sir; they may make some changes but
they will be calculated to increase the protec-
ton Of tho voters. The election boards will
not be abolished by'any means. They may be
reconstructed, bu. the present System of voting
will not be abolished. - far as the registra-
ton Of voters is concerned"
'What other reforms will be introduced?"
"The legislature will pass q law that viii
give to this state the Australian system Of vot-
ing; Of this there is no reasonable doubt"
The republicans claim that certain Con-
gressmen worked in secret to defeat Gov. For
aker."
Yes; but in doing this they rather overshot
the mark. In their effort to defeat Foraker
they have sacrificed the state ticket. given us
the legislature and United States Senator"
"Were you aware that certain republican
Congressmen were conspIring to overthrow
Foraker?"
"MoSt certainly we were"
"Who were they?"
Il mention no names. Look at the returns
and form your own opinion. Glance at that
strong republican district represented by Bob
Kennedy; look at the returns from Grosvenor's q
district, and if this does not satisfy
you, take peep into Butterworth's
bailiwick. Does 1t appear that Gov.
Foraker had the support of his party? After
you have satisfied yourself in that direction
drop down into the Scioto valley. In Scioto
county and jackson Congressman Thompson
represents the congressional district and those
counties are in his district. 1 might continue,
but what have already referred 10 is sufficient
to indicate that Foraker was not supported by
the big men Of his own party
Whether Foraker's defeat and the election Of
a democratic legislature will satisfy the oppo-
nents OF the governor l cannot say. but take
| 1t that they gathered in more than they were
after. They virtually gave the democracy the
legislature and q United States Senator. They
did not intend to be so liberal. but we accept
their generous gift all the same"
