A STARTLING DEPARTURE.
"unicipnl Ownership Gets n Eoost
from Hanna. Mckinley
and Dick.

The victories OF Tom Johnson in
Cleveland, Jones i'm Toledo and the
three-cent-fare ticket in Columbus has
aroused the republicans to the fact
that the people favor municipa. own
ership. Charles W. Dick. chairman OF
the republican state convention OF
Ohio, who is the chief henchman OF
Hanna and the president. made a
speech at Columbus before the Prcsi-
Dental Postmasters' association. in
which he marked out some startling
departures from the usual republic
an campaign issues and indicated
what 10 expect in the next republican
state platform. Dick said he favored
government ownership of all means
of communication and that he fully
Endorsed the postal savings system.

graph and telephone lines of the
country will be owned and operated
by tie governments: and il is proper
they should be, for IL the government

Dick betrayed no sign that this was
n first time he ever spoke on the
municipal ownership side of the ques-
ton. and the postmasters. recogniz-
ing II as a new slogan, applauded the
sentiment vigorously.
IL is also stated that an important
conference of Ohio republican leaders
was held. at which it was decided TO
get into the field first with the dec
iaration for municipal ownership.
This sudden change Of mind of re-
publicans on the issue they have al
ways been fighting brings to mind
the declaration against trusts in the
Ohio republican platform Of two
years ago. and the turning down Of
Attorney General Monet. the only
man in their party who had shown
any effort to curb the trusts. That
