THE many friends of DR.. A. H. TIDBALL
throughout the County are urging him to allow
his. name to be presented at the County Con-
vention,- Saturday. as the Democratic candidate
for Representative in the State Legislature.
The PRESS takes great pleasure in mentioning
this movement on the part of the Doctors
friends. and heartily seconds their effort. DR..
TIDBALL is a gentleman of sterling worth,
whose name would be tower of strength to
the Portage Democracy. A thorough Demo-
crat, and uncompromising in his advocacy and
support of Democratic principles, he is in sound
accord with the State and National issues made
by his party.
sarepresentative of the best political thought
of the age, no resident of Portage County ranks
higher than he, and whatever measures he might
introduce or support in the Legislature. could
be depended upon to be founded on wisdom
and good judgment, and to be for the good Of
his entire constituency.
The interests of this County at Columbus
could not be conhded into better or safer keep
ing, ana we are glad that his friends are urging
his candidacy, which we believe will meet with
hearty response from every Democrat in the
County

though he thinks it extremely probable that
MI. Harrison may ask him to do so very shortly.
He says that Roosevelt went for Mr.. Harrison
and demanded in very dictatorial manner to
know what action had been taken on the report
he (Roosevelt) made recently recommending
the dismissal of some twenty five Federal OFF,
cials in Baltimore. and upon being informed
that the report had not been examined he flew
into a rage and told Mr.. Harrison that he want
ed him to understand that if these men were
not dismissed he (Roosevelt) would resign. That
ended the interview and Roosevelt has gone out
to his western ranch. This may or may not be
true. but certain it is that Roosevelt has brow
beat Mr.. Harrison more than once. and his
calling Mr. Wanamaker liar is a matter oi

has lacked the nerve to demand his resignation
