Springfield Ohio. Oct. 8 (SpeclaD-It IS seldom that
the people Of Ohio find themselves I'm such whlr OIL
political excitement they now experiencing OK
cent I'm Presidential campaigns Governor Foraker IS
moving rapidly from point 10 point making not In
frequently as many as four strong and really re-
markablc speeches in a single day. All tho Repub
lican energy, however Is not expended in platform or
stump utterances. The Republicans of the State
never attempted In any previous campaign so thorough
Is and completely TO organize and equip themselves
for tho fight Of the year. 1t is pro.
pared to form Republican clubs in every ward
of every city and in every township Of every county
in the State and enlist the personal service OF
every Republican in Ohio IN behalf Of the cause. The
work I'm this line is well advanced in many portions OF
the state.
Mr. Campbell and his supporters who follow tho
leadership of Peter schwab, the Hamilton dstillcr

desperate attempt to win the support Of tho entire
LIQUOR interest and with some degree Of success in
Hamilton County. At the same time it IS true that
the great mass of German Republicans who are not
saoonkcepers true to their cOlOrs and VIII vote

for the Legislature by the Republicans. Then there
is a large element OF temperance men who have
been won to the Governors support by his prompt

Western Reserve, which always comes out strong
and in fun when the safety of great principles
IS in peril, will show her potency at the November
election and than make up for any real or
alleged detection In any other portion Of the State.
In connection with this should be considered the fact
that tho Republicans. and especially Governor
Foraker have taken such high ground on the
liquor question and accomplished much in
the way CT real reform, especially in Cincinnati that
the partisan ProhbitlOnists have nothing to base
campaign upon and consequently making feeble
fight. They can hardly be considered factor
