Strong Points for the Democrats

The democrats are taking advantage of
various incidents and conditions damaging
to the republicans. The disaffection among
the miners in the southern part of the
state. the rather shaky position of the
pIblicanS on the Ohio drainage canal and
the dissatisfaction among the negro voters
all being looked after by the democrats.
Clarence Darrow and other labor leaders
will be sent to the mining section Ohio
to tell the miners that the republican party
has injured them Along the OHIO river
where there is urgent demand for the wild
ening of the river channel the democrats
are making much of the fact that their par
ty platform favOrS the canal while the
publicanS say nothing about it and leading
congressman like Burton are quietly fight
ing such Improvement. Organizations
are being effected among the negroes. and
ii is safe to say that many of these colored
voters will be weaned away from the re-
pubc2ns, who heretofore have always
counted on that vote pretty largely.
But the republicans to offset these efforts
on the part of the Johnson workers are
throwing great strength into counties where
johnson by his bold tactics has made demo-
era tic leaders his enemies. and it is be-
ieved that certain sections. always demo-
cratic, may go republican. at least cut
down big democratic maiorities by many
hundreds of votes One of these counties is
Richland. the home of the Shermans. Here
Johnson offended democrats by defea ting
the democratic candidate for the Legislature
who sought denomination. The county is
strongly democratic. but it looks very much
if republican would be sent to the leg
iSlature this year.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. October 13. 1903.
With the end of the campaign but few
weeks away. the political leaders in Ohio
are warming up to their work in a manner
that indicates a lively finish to the fight
which may make or break Tom L. Johnson
politically. This week the republicans open

and the republicans have more cause for
fear than appears on the surface. Though
the republican leaders aim shafts of rid
icule and sarcasm at Johnson and his
''isms,'' so called they secretly confess that
his methods of campaigning and the doc
trineS he teaches are making converts and
may bring surprising results when the bal
lots are counted. Like the republicans, the
democrats have strong organization even
in counties where Johnson has enemies.
