The question the American

deal is not question of a day

if the Republic is to violate the

We are different from any

best. Our political system
rests upon principle different
from that of any other. 1t is
founded upon the consent of the
people. If we had wanted it
otherwise we would not have
left home, but would have re-
manned the obedient child of an
imperious parent. We would
Got have turned from the moth

Akron people have been willing to
believe most any old thing their Rep
rcsentatives In the General Assembly
were inclined to tell them about what's
going on at Columbus, but when both
Senator Sieber and Representative
Seese come home with pipe story
about it's being ''too late" to restore
Akrons government to the control OF
the people they can't blame folks for
being skeptical. Senator Alexander
says such measure could be gotten

recall the fate of the certain young
man named Daugherty who also had
his own way early in the contest for
gubernatorial honors last summer. 1t
is not safe to bank on any sure thing

Rev. ]. s. Rutledge, formerly pastor
of the s. Main st. NJ. e. church, this
city, has been very active in politics
at Glenville, where he is now located
1t was reported that his congregation
was divided because Of his taking a
part in the political affairs Of the vii
lage.
The Plain Dealer has the following
in reference TO the mater:
"Rey. ]. s. Rntledge OF the st. Clair
st. NJ. Il. church declared yesterday
that the story of the alleged dissention
in his church over his sermon of last
Sunday along political lines, and that
a split in his church was probable,
was without foundation, SO far as he
knew. He says that with the possible
exception of two members his entire
congregation will stand by him in the
ground he has taken in politics. and
that those two are opposed to him on
personal grounds"

In the campaign that closed last
Saturday, Judge Anderson sent out
many letters to Democrats and Repub-

loved him they should stick" for the

as never before. And yet the Dobson

Proxy system of administering local
public affairs was not, could not be,
on trial. Judge Anderson may well

The Cleveland World, which has al

Yesterday that Is calculated to send
cold chills down the spinal columns

"Therc Ia no use denying the fact
that tho Republican party stands In
greater peril today that 1t did six
months ago The cver'cncroaching
power of trusts, the apparent lack OF
fixed policy in dealing with tho CA
pansion problem, attempts to enact
such legislation as the ship subsidy
bill, and state legislature which has
inspired disgust among working poo'
pie, all threaten the success of the
party In November"

more, at least, The majority Of peo-
pie have got past the wondering"
stage, and they have quit looking for
fundamental defects They have
about made up their minds to grin and
bear It until something happens.
The fact is that the government of
Akron, as it is now organized and con-
trolled, is more than satisfactory to
tho politicians, and until the people
show that they are greater factor in
the community than the politicians are,
the Legislature will continue to deny
them the desired relief. AS Council
man Flebegcr said in these columns
few days ago, the system under which
Akron people are misgoterned Is just
what they have permitted 1t to be. and
not because of any fundamental defect
In the Legislative system. Senator
Alexander has told the people that it
would not be "too late" even now to
get relief from the present crisis in the
clty's affairs If the people would but
show the right temper in demanding
it from the Representatives in the Gen
cral Assembly. But so long as the pe0-
pie are contont to be put off with evas-
I've terms framed TO benefit and protect
the interests of politicians, they should
be docilc enough to suffer the conse-
qucnces.

Special Correspondence.)

Columbus, April AN election
which has assumed almost a national
Importance is being held in the Sew
enth ward Of the city of Columbus to-
day. DR.. Washington GLADDEN.. the
eminent Clergyman and sociologist,
and Charles E. Miles, one Of the Re-
publican ring and one of those who
are accused Of being active boodlers
in the present City Council, are the
rival candidates for the office of Coun-
Gilman. A very heavy vote is being
cast and the best people Of the ward,
which comprises in part the finest res
idence district In Columbus, are all
coming to the polls. The chances
seem to favor the election Of DR.. Glad
den.
The hardest political fight ever
known in this city has been waged
lagainst Dr.. GLADDEN., who consented
to be candidate only upon the most
urgent solicitation Of the decent men
Of both parties. The respectable citi-
zens Of the ward are thoroughly weary
of alleged and practically proven dis
honesty of the. regular Republican
nominee and after he was again named
as the party candidate, they, realiz-
ing that the ward Is normally over
whelmingly Republican, insisted that
DR.. GLADDEN. make the sacrifice and he
consented, looking upon 1t as matter
of duty. In deplcring the present po-
litical conditions, both In his pulpit,
In his writings and in his private con-
versations, he has so many times laid
the blame at the door Of good people
who are unwilling to attend the pri'
maries or to stand for Office that he
could not consistently refuse the de-
;. mand that he become n candidate.
There are approximately 1900 voters
in the ward, most Of them men of
:. prominence and may of them men of
, wealth. The vast majority of this
, latter class, as soon as DR.. Gladden's
= candidacy was announced, expressed
. themselves in public or in private as
. hoping for his election. So genera
:, was the feeling that he should be elect
;, ed that, at the time of the Democratic
= primaries, the Democrats refused t.
nominate q party man for the office
4 but indorsed the Independent candi
. dacy of Or. GLADDEN.. He will probabl.
= receive fuur-fifths of the Democratic
! vote. The ward is normally Republi
q can by 500 votes, but it is believed tina
4 in this emergency, when they have tn
= opportunity to elect to the Counci
chamber one Of the deepest thinker
a upon sociology, political economy ant
!, municipal government whom the worl!
a. knows, they will forget party line
/, entirely. The whole country Is watch
n ing Columbus today.
:, One of the rather ridiculous feature
4. of the campaign is the fact that man
70 wagers have been laid upon DR.. CLAD
n, den's success at the polls. Tho BET
70 ting, the very fact of which grieve
n the good doctor sorcly, is even, wit
,e plenty Of takers Of the Miles money
~ A large proportion of the regular re
N publican campaign fund for the cit
le has been used in the Seventh ward.
m At this writing the chances of d.

HIS OPINION or "oRArORs.v


Senator Pettus, of Alabama, the old
est member of the United States Sen
ate, gave Senator Beveridge OF Indi-
ana, one of the youngest members of
the Senate, an unmerciful scoring Sat
urday because o. the disrespect he had
shown the Judgment of other men,
bers of the Senate while making his
speech upon the Porto Rican bill Fri
day The part of the speech by Sen
ator Pettus relating to the ingenuity
Of the modern "orator," which Beve-
ridge persumes to be, is given below:
1--WE had a wonderful defamation
yesterday from our great orator-won-
derful. 1t was marvellous In all its
parts. 1t was so marvellous that l
dare say that such thing has never
before been heard in the Senate. When
you get genuine orator he is abso-
lutely absolved from all rules of logic
or common sense Wien 1t Is neces-
sary in the fervor Of oratorical -four
ishes to prove any proposition, true
or false, rules of common sense and
the decent observance of what Is due
to others must not stand In the way Of
maintaining my reputation as an ora
tor. 1t will not do. If 1t Is necessary
| must break down the ideas of an OBJ
servance of what the Senator from
Vermont has characterized as the
best policy If 1t Is necessary
must draw on my imagination for facts
and on my memory for flights of fancy,
as Ovid Bolus did. When an orator
speaks he has right in the fervor of
his oratory here in the United States
Senate in reference to the Republicans
and Democrats and Popullsts and any
other men who may choose to take a
seat here, to speak of them as enemies
to the government. He has a right tC
speak of them as opponents of the
government. The government, In hi:
mind, is me and my wife, my sol

"Mr. President, the Master once hat
to select n man to lead the children o.
J Israel out of Egypt ana through th'
wilderness of Caanan. He did not sc
lect an orator. No, he selected one o
these men from Iowa or Maine, ant
his name was Moses. And he was I
stubborn man, too. But Moses tolt
S his Master to His face that he coul'
/ not do It, because lie could not speal
6 to the people. And what was the re
A., ply? There Is Aaron; he speaks well
And they took Aaron along, not Il
communal that was not allowed, bu
I they took him along as n kind of dc
: puty. And when Moses OH his Master
? order went up into the mountain 70
( the tablets the orator left In chars

' all the people down to worshiplng tn
: golden calf. More people worship tn
y golden calf now than did in thos
G days. But while Aaron and his peopl
were all down worshiping the goldc
II calf the man Of God appeared and b
@ pulled out his sword and dcmandc
to know who was on the Lords sid
and the orator jumped up from h
= knees. drew his sword and got o
