today with an unusually large parade fol
lowed by a meeting in Yoctangee Park

speeches were made by Senators Foraker
and Hanna, Myron T. Herrick, candidate
for Governor, Warren G. Harding, can
didate for Lieutenant Governor, and 9th
ers. In the parade the Blaine Club, OF
Cincinnati, with over 800 uniformed men
had strong rival in the Ross County
Rough Riders, every township in that
county being represented by delegations
on horseback The Tippecanoes from
Cleveland, the Rail Splitters from Toledo,
and the Buckeyes from Columbus ranked
next.
Mr.. Herirck in his speech devoted him.
self largely to what he called the ''untried
socialism" of the Democratic party. He
said it seemed the first duty of citizen
ship "to raise a warning against drifting
in that dangerous direction since the
Democratic gubernatorial candidate had
declared that he favored socialism in
moderation
MIR. Herrick denounced the single tax
unjust and burdensome.
Senator Foraker delivered an elaborate
defense of Republican national policies.
He gave much attention to the Philippine
question, asserting that the government

the safe was considerably torn by the
explosive used.
This was the extent of the damage
except that the lock to the front door
where the bandits entered was bent by

partition door between the front part of
the office and the back where the safe is,
was broken out.

- "This country is on the verge of finan-
cial and industrial cola -,se.'
ITO my mind that was a criminal act
because it is not true As. far as the fl
nancial and industrial interests of this
country are concerned, they never have
been in any better shape than today
Further on he said:
THAT element which leads and domi-
mates the Democratic party today stands
not for tariff, for revenue, but absolute
free trade. Mr. Clark qualities his posi-

take the tariff entirely off every article

trades, and in fact all of our great indus
tries would come within the scope of his
proposition. Is there any intelligent man,
among the working men of this State; who
Goes not know what would be the result OF
that policy? Absolute free trade, through
all the schedules of our tariff would shut
up IS per cent of the industrial institu-
tions of the United States until we could
get labor down to the price where we
could compete with Europe"
