The Ohio Campaign.

The Ohio campaign seems likely To be
short. sharp, and full Of fire. Whether
the breach in the Republican ranks is
SO far healed as not to affect the vote
cannot be stated with certainty. but il
appears as If the Democracy could not
look for much aid from factiunal strife
among its opponents. There are is
sues involved in the campaign which
should defeat the Republican ticket. but
that is nearly always the case. and il
remains 10 be seen how much the vote

subserviency TO the trusts and impe-
rialism.
The tendency II the strike is to injure

extent. The Republican party. as an
organization. has always been the
champion Of capital rather than labor.
and at this juncture il is absolutely
controlled by the trusts. But such con-
siderations seem never TO have mill
tated against II in political campaigns.
BY all sorts Of specious pleas the voters
OF the labor unions have permitted
themselves 10 be bambOoZled into sup

After putting the trusts into the saddle
