defeat of the reform movement to Roose-

The State of Ohio has its revenge for
the wrecking of it's great wool growing
industry by taking a fall out of Senator
Brice. This artful politician has some
how slipped into the Senate, term after
term, but he met his Waterloo, Tuesday.
A free wool man was no longer wanted
wool is now selling there for about one
half what it was worth before the pas
sage of the present tariff law caused
thousands of Democrats to vote the Re-
publican ticket. Free wool has cost the
country S4OOOO000 or Sj0,OO0,0OO, and
OhO's share of the loss is extremely
heavy. Had Brce stood by Senator Hill.
the tariff hill would have been defeated,
but he didn't, and his power for further
harm is taken from him.

sion had been reached.
