"BAD FOR CALAMITY HowLERs."
Representative Kerr Says Industrial
Conditions Insure Republican Success

Conditions Insure Republican Success
Representative w. S. Kerr of Ohio was
in the city today and talked interestingly
with a Star reporter upon the political
situation in that state.
There is no doubt of a republican vic
tory in Ohio this fall,'' he said THE DEM
ocrats are very badly demoralized and are
hard pressed to find issue for the CAM
paign. They have virtually abandoned
silver, and before the campaign progresses
much further. 1 expect to see them give it
up altogether and try their hands on the
tariff.
of this, however and it would be hard to
tell where they could try it on first. There
is a general revival of manufacturing in
dustries throughout the state since the
passage of the Dingley tariff bill,- and busi-
ness is picking up in lively manner.
My city is a manufacturing community,
and We notice the advent of prosperity very
quickly. Just the other day one of my
friends. stove manufacturer, said he was
getting all the orders he could attend to-
One order alone was for twelve carloads
of stoves. This factory has been practically
idle for two years, running perhaps one
day in the week at intervals of weeks.
THE farmers are getting better prices,
men are finding work and those who have
had work are getting better wages. All
of this makes hard shedding for the political
calamity bowler. The politicians of this
class, however, had to dry up their calamity
cry, and are now devoting their time to
trying to prove that the republicans ought
not to get any credit for good times any
how.
The failure of the populists to fuse with
the democrats was severe blow to the
latter. You see, CoXey, when he ran for
governor, got J1,UtD votes in Ohio. The
populist vote will all come out of the demo-
cratic strength, and they alone will be
enough to defeat the democratic ticket
When CoXey ran for Congress he got 5000
votes in lis district, which was more than
the democratic candidate received
