| But there Is no doubt that GOLDEN RULE Is
trying to gull them.
JONES started out by denouncing political
parties. The Republicans would not nomi-
nate him for Governor, although he was
| nomnally a Republican. The Democrats
would not nominate him, although he was
ready to take any nomination and was sup
posed to be magnet for 1.-THE labor vote. "
So he discovered that parties are abomina-
lions, nominated himself, and hummed
through the State on an automobile. Non
craftsmanship, sentimental socialism, the
same old stories and sermons that he has
been glad to tell and preach wherever he
could find hearers, were his themes The
downtrodden were to be lifted up and the
poor to be made comfortable by the adop-
tion OF n new social system, an all
peryading Government Trust, a universal
GOLDEN RULE JONES.
He did not insist upon the anti-expansion
issue. He had very little to say about It.
He was simply the same old JONES and he
uttered the same old Jonesiana. Naturally
CuyahoRa county. the capital OF anarchlsm
in this country, voted for him. The humane
and gentle souls that blew up cars and
passengers with dynamite, the Cleveland
rioters and boycotters, responded to the
call OF the man who proposed to break up
the existing order Of things and found a
sort OF despotio labor Trust government
The Democratic party. as tho home OF most
OF the radical and violent haters OF existing
institutions, must have contributed most
to the Jones forces. The Democratic party
OF Ohio made q most tremendous hula
baloo about Imperialism. Democrats who
wanted to vote against Imperialism voted
for the Hon. JOHN ROLL MCLEAN. Demo-
Gratis who voted for JONES and Republicans
who voted for JONES were not voting
against imperialism, for that was a
Mclean issue and not Jones issue. Some
OF the Republican Buckeye brethren who
don't love Mr.. HANNA may have voted for
JONES. and II they did, they voted as anti
Hannaists and not as anti-imperialists.
JONES has something Of a Republican
following, but 1t is personal and the
Philippines have no more to do with 1t than
the tides have.

not in mere petulance, he confessed that
his canvass was misleading and dishonest,
and that his object was not to advance
government according to the Golden Rule.
but to defeat NASH and MCKINLEY. How
far JONES was actuated by resentment
against the Republicans for not sppreci-
atlng his merits, and how far he made a
pretence OF philanthropy the screen OF
his pursuit OF revenge. are questions for
his own conscience. He shouldn't encum-

as an anti-imperialist, but a. JONES. the
