Special 10 Tie Post
Columbus. Ohio. Oct 23-The Repub-
lican leaders in the State are appreciating
the Jones mOvem mt, now that the polls
are beginning 10 arrive from the various
counties At the Republican headquarters
to-day II was admitted that Jones would
get from 1900 to 100000 votes in the State.
but ii is claimed that fully 80 per cent.
will be taken from the Democratic ranks.
The Democrats, on the other hand, had
received up to tonight the poll of 81 out
Of the SS counties in Ohio. and assert
that the Jones vote in the Democratic
counties will be very light. A remarka-
Dle showing, said to be made by this Dem
oCratic poll, is hat Jones has a very
large following in the Western Reserve, q
Republican stronghold II is evident thar
both parties regard the Jones movement
with extreme anxiety. Chairman Dick to-
day replied at great length to the letter
in which Jones g. 'wledSed the receipt
of a request for triJutiOn from the
Acme Sucker RO. .rui pany, of which he
is president. Mr. UicE says that Jones
admits, by his silence, the fact that pros
peTity is everyWheIs apparent and that
Republican victory means the continu-
anCe OF these conditions. Mr.. Dick says
necessity of soliciting contributions, be-
cause it shows that the Republican party
is mot relying upon the wealth of one
| rich man, VINO owns, dictates, and abso-
lutely controls his party"
Charged with Ingratitude.
Mr.. Jones is charged with having forced
! himself upon The people, and Mr. Dick
wants to know who is paying all the ex-
| penses OF his campaign. In conclusion
Mr. Dick argues that Mr. Jones, even ii
elected, would have no legislature in SYM
! pathy with his Vagaries and then says:
Your sudden discovery OF the giant
| evils Of political party organizations seems
strange. A political party organization
was good enough for you three years ago
| You found no fault with il then. 1t was
| good enough for you until March of this
year. when you were defeated for re-
| nomination by the Republican party in
| Toledo. 1t was good enough for you UP
| to June Of this year, for you in various
| ways evinced desire TO secure the Re
publican nomination for governor In
! your bitter disappointment, you say that
| party organizations are giant evils, that
| have cursed this country for century,
| Was the Republican party giant evir
| when 1t nominated and elected you mayor
! Of Toledo? Without that nomination and
election, the country would probably
never have heard OF Golden Rule Jones
| You falsify history when you say this
! country has been cursed by political
| party organization. The past century of
| American history is the most glorious IN
/ the annals of time, and the brightest
pages were written by the Republican
/ party. Statesmen of all nations have
gloiied in our history and ii remains for
| you alone to make the discovery that our
| country has been cursed for the past
| century
by that charge you insult the wisest
and best statesmen our country has pro-
! duced. They have all been members Of
political party Organiza ton. Washington,
. Madison, Adams, jefferson, Jackson,
/ Webster, Lincoln. Grant, and Garfield
( were enthusiastic in their devotion to
party. DO you believe that these splendid
/ heroes cursed this country by being
strong party leaders? Do you not hesitate
1 to enter the temple of liberty, and de-
! fame every hero whose name is loved in
American history?
