ADA. O.. Oct. s. The meeting of the
governors will be long remembered
event IN the history of Ada and Hardin
county. For weeks the joint debate be
tween Gov. Campbell and Maj. Mckinley
has been referred to as the impending
battle of giants and the discussion today
fully demonstrated that Mckinley and
Campbell are indeed the best exponents
of high and low tariffs of the parties
they represent. The little town of Ada
was in gala attire, about every window
window displaying portrait of either
Mckinley or Campbell. And from every
limb of the trees above the streets were
swung pictures of the two battling can
didates for gubern.torial honors. BY
noon they were over 5000 strangers in
the city and although great enthusiasm
was manifested by both parties the
rivalry was friendly and entirely devoid
of unpleasant incidents. All through
the day music from bands resounded
through the streets. There was an object
lesson in the tin horns that were blown
in that they were labeled as be-
ing made of American tinplate.
Democratic ladies were badged
which attracted much attention and re-
ceived special allusion by Gov. Camp
bell. They wore portraits of Gov Camp
bill and below them were the significant
words, ,"Americanwool "a cents on account
of the Mckinley BILL The American
tin badge displayed with equal pride by
republicans, contained the portrait of
Maj. Mckinley and bore the wor Is: "Pro-
lection and honest money"
Gov. Campbell and Major Mckinley
took lunch with Prof. Lehr and few
personal friends. For brief hour poll
tics and the great struggle which is be-
ing waged for partisan supremacy in the
Buckeye state were forgotten and the
two gentlemen met in social friendship
in fulfillment of their mutual pledges
on the evening of the contest
that there should be campaign
of measures and not of men, of principle
and not of personalities" A better day
could not have been made to order.
Benches enough to seat 10000 people
Ildu Deell pToNlucu. bON. NdilpDcll was
placed to the right and Maj. Mckinley
to the left on the platform. There were
two chairman-Mayor j. M. Van Fleet,
racy, acting for Gov. Campbell, and
James c. Howe, chairman of The repub-
lican committee, acting for Maj. McKin-
ley. Under the arrangements for debate
Gov. Campbell had the opening of one
,p1 ,,in,,fac Moi haKinlav
the second speech of one hour and a
half. The inclosure was we'll filled by
the time the candidates arrived. There
while over in one corner the students of
the normal school were planted in a
body.
Gov. Campbell was greeted with ap-
plause and Immediately took up the
question of protective tariff which he at
tackled as good for the rich and bad for
the poor. He quoted statement that
the number of people in the United
States who own their own homes have
in twenty-five years fallen from five
eighths to three-eighths. How many
years will it take for them to fall to one
eighth? He gave figures to prove the
promised business boom had not ma
terialized after the Mckinley law. He
took up the argument that tariff is a
tax on the consumer and insisted that
genuine reciprocity meant free trade
with England He believed industries
were reckOned as "infants" for too long
time. Various products were enumer
ated, showing the duty and how it has
been increased since the war and wanted
to know what farmers got out of the
tariff. Governor Campbell here read
from certificate of the repub-
lican secretary of the Ohio state
board of equalization showing that in
ten years the appraised value of farm
land has deprecated S9S,OOO,0OO. Have
other classes suffered alike? In spite of
this depreciation in farm land the report
of Supt. Porter of the census bureau
shows that in ten years the state of
Ohio has increased in wealth S213,OOO,OO0.
How much have farmers gotten of that?
