Know What to Expect
Of Hanna, Herrick and Harding in Their
Campaign Against the People.

steal" by which a corporation Was
given franchise in the streets for "A
years to run streetcars at scent fare.
He defended his vote and commended
the steal. This is very frank on the
senator's part, and 1t is likewise bold
and daring. He makes the issue defin-
lite and certain on this subject.
In regard to Hanna's speech we can
not do better than quote Mr.. Weiden-
thars words:
Hanna spoke of the day as an ideal
Mckinley day, said that this was a
Mckinley year, and called the voters
to realization of the duty before
them. He said the Socialists of the
country have great leader--Mayor
Johnson-and that he was selfish and
ambitious, rather than true worker
for the peoples interests"
So here we have 1t in nutshell
Herrick takes the railroad side in
the matter of taxation and Q cents q
mile fare
Harding defends the Cincinnati
steal" Of which he was a part.
Hanna calls Tom l.. Johnson Self
ish and ambitious" and declares that
he Is Socialist leader.
With these issues fairly and square,
ly before the people, If the Democrats
can not win the election, it would in
deed appear that the hearts of the
people are hardened and their under
standings are darkened."

the railroad he was not personally In
terested, but merely represented some
other person. He said he had with
drawn from the directory several
months ago. Dick quotes Herrlck and
holds that the defense IL SO complete
that there need be no debate.
This most excellent railroad" runs
through the Hooking Valley coal field,
and supplies Columbus and all the ter
ritory west and northwest of that
point with soft coal The railroad,
which is owned by ]. p. Morgan
and other friends of Mr.. Herrlck, owns
the Sunday Creek Coal company, and
thror. h it controls absolutely the out
put Of the Hooking coal flelds--it fixes
the wages and hours of the miners
and the price of coal
During the coal famine of year ogo
Attorney General Sheets brought en-
action against the Sunday Creek Coal
company, for violation of the Valen-
tine antitrust law, but within a few
months the suit was withdrawn.
Prior to the consolidation of the coal
companies in the Hooking valley the
inhabitants of the mining towns and
the surrounding country had no trou-
BILE in securing all the coal needed at
q moderate price, but since the forma-
tion of the trust, they cannot secure
lump or screened coal at all, and the
trust has been forcing them to take
the refuse and pay as much for it as
they formerly paid for screened coal
Since the formation of the trust in
dependent operators have attempted
to open new mines on the Hooking
Valley railroad, but the railroad has
refused to put in the switch to the
mine or even connect the switch
which the operator has himself built
down to the main tracks, thus stifing
completely any further development of
that field by independent operators.
Where the independent operator had
q switch and connection with the rail-
road the railroad has furnished but
few cars, and these they hauled to the
next town and run them on switch
there; in one instance keeping the
loaded cars for 10 days upon a side
track, within 10 miles Of the mine.
The Sunday Creek Coal company
and the Plttsburg Coal company, the
trust in the eastern part of the state
of which Dan r. Hanna, son of Sena-
tor Hanna and the business represen-
tative of M. A. Hanna & Company, Is
a director and leading spirit, have
conspired together to divide the state
Of Ohio in two parts, making each
party supreme in their respective dis
trict. This unlawful contract in re-
straint Of trade has advanced the price
of coal to consumers nearly 100 per
cent in the past year, and as long as
Republican attorney general is in
Office in Columbus, owing his nomina-
ton and election to Senator Hanna.

State and Federal Employees Must Dc

Federal and state officeholders who
do not do all In their power for the

being told that there were state and

Law-6reaking Trust Railroad--Her-
rick's Fatal Admission In His Feeble
Reply to Chairman Salen's Ringing
Challenge.
Chairman Dick of the Republican
state executive committee, set the
fashion of writing campaign letters.
He used to write one whenever he had
time. He is getting his fill of letters
this fall, for Chairman Salen is set
t,cs him hot pace.
Mr.. Salen has challenged Senator
lama to meet Mr.. Clarke and the SEN
ator and Dick have been busy ever
since finding reasons why such a de-
bate cannot be held.
Having cornered the senator, MIR.
Salen directed a letter to Chairman
Dick, of which the following is part:
SHOULD HERRICK BE ELECT
ED GOVERNOR OF THE STATE,
AND SHOULD HE CONTINUE AS A
DIRECTOR OF THE HOOKING VAL
LEY RAILROAD COMPANY, 1T
MIGHT BECOME NECESSARY FOR
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF
THE STATE TO BRING SUIT
AGAINST THE GOVERNOR OF THE
STATE FOR A VIOLATION OF THE
ANTITRUST LAWS OF OHIO.
I'm VIEW OF ALL THESE FACTS
HEREBY RESPECTFULLY RE-
QUEST THAT MIR. HERRICK PUB
LICLY STATE WHETHER OR NOT
1T is HIS INTENTION TO CON-
TlNUE AS A DIRECTOR IN THE
HOOKING VALLEY RAILROAD
COMPANY. At the annual meeting of
the company at Columbus on Tuesday.
October 8, Mr.. Herricks services as a
director can be terminated, in case he
agrees that, in view Of the embarass-
ments that might result, he should
leave the directory.
"Mr. Herrick will undoubtedly at
tend the annual meeting of the COM
pany. Mayor Johnson will also be in
the neighborhood of Columbus at that
time. WHY WOULDN'T OCTOBER
BE AN OPPORTUNE DATE FOR A
PUBLIC MEETING BETWEEN THE
TWO CANDIDATES FOR COVER
NOR TO DISCUSS TWO-CBNT FARE
AND THE OPERATION OF THE So
JAILED SOFT COAL TRUST
THROUGH THE RAILROAD PROP
ERTY IN WHICH MR.. HERRICK is
STOCKHOLDER AND DIRECTOR?
On Sept. 29 Mr.. Herrick made his
defense at Sandusky, and gave his ex-
cuses for escaping debate with Mr..
Johnson. He said:
ut is my misfortune that l am not
the owner of Hooking Valley railroad
shares, as 1t is most excellent rail-
road
Then Colonel Herrick went on to
say that though he was director In

They Dodge the Vital Issues That tho
Democrats Are Urging Against
Them-All Opposed to Just Taxa
ton, Two-cent Railway Fares and
Home Rule.
Well, now we know what to expect.
Hanna, Herrick and Harding have
met the issues.
The meeting at Berlin Heights on
Thursday will live In history as a
great issue meeter."
There were cannon fred, bands
played. and 1000 people heard the
great men speak.
No one can any longer say that they
did not meet the points raised, or some
of them at least.
The Independent and trustworthy
Cleveland Press had one of its most
careful and experienced men, Mr..
Maurice Weidenthal, along with the
great men, and he tells the readers of
that paper what the Republican can
didates had to say.
Herrick takes Issue against 2-cent
fares on the railroads. He is opposed
TO any reduction and he says that the
Democratic position is scheme of
paternalism." He declared that the
railroad employees all over the state
are protesting against such a move.
He declares that the Democrats are
trying to overtax the poor railroads
80 that they will be Obliged to sell out
to the state
So we know where the Republican
candidate for governor stands on the
2-cent fare proposition. Being a di-
rector In one or two Gould railroads,
he naturally must see to 1t that his
Herrick declares that he and his
party are In favor OF equal taxation
and home rule" He does not explain
how the fact of railroads paying 9 per
cent on their proper valuation, while
farms pay on so per cent is equal. but
1t Is to be presumed that he would
hold that anything more than pr
cent for the railroads would be an
other indication Of "paternalism."
AS for home rule, Colonel Herrick
would probably point to the municipal
code, which was dictated by those two
eminent Republicans. George B. Cox
and Mark A. Hanna To say that the
Republicans are In favor OF home rule,
while such a law is SO recently on the
statute books as strictly party meas
ure, makes 1t fair to point to that code
Ms the Republican sort Of home rule.
II would thus appear that there are
two kinds OF nome rule" home rule
which rules at home and that which
rules from Columbus. Herrick's is the
Columbus sort.

Magnificent Rite In the Great

ROMAN BELLS RANG OUT GLAD PEAL

Throne Presented n Picture
That No Pen Could JUST
1y Describe.

ROME, Aug. 12.-The ceremony of
the coronation of Pope Plus X. took
place In the basiica of st. Peters in
the presence of the princes and high
dignitares of the church, diplomats
and Roman mobiles, and with all the
solemnity and splendor associated with
this. the most magnificent rite In the
Roman Catholic church.
As Cardinal Macchi, the dean of the
cardinal deacons, placed the triple
crown on the head of the venerable
pontiff the throng of 10000 persons
gathered within the cathedral burst
into unrestrained acclamations, the
choir intoned q hymn of triumph and
the bells Of Rome rang out q joyful
peal.
The central figure in the long cortege
was Plus X. borne in the sedia gesta-
toria. His heavy white robes and the
red and gold miter were worn without
an effort, making vivid contrast to
those memorable occasions on which
Pope Leo wore them. for Leo seemed
always unable to support their weight.
Over the pontiff's head canopy was
held by eight men, while the historic
ostrich feather fans with peacock tips
gave touch of barbarie splendor to
western eyes.
The scene presented on his mounting
the throne formed magnificent pic
ture to which no pen could do justice.
The central figure was the venerable
pontiff seated on the throne. Overhead
was the most magnificent dome In the
world up to which floated the harmo-
ny Of the music.
Pope Plus was quite overcome and
had scarcely strength left to impart
the apostolic benediction. Cardinals
Macchi and Segna granted n plenary
Indulgence to all present. and the pro-
cession then reformed and left the ba-
silica.

President Commends Governor Dur

President COmmends Governor Dur
bins Action.
OYSTER BAY, n. Y, Aug. 10-Pres-
ident Roosevelt has written letter to
Governor Durbln Of Indiana commend
ing him for the attitude he assumed
recently respecting lynching. The pres
ident also embraces the opportunity to
express his own Views in reference to
lynching and mob violence generally,
pointing out that mob violence Is mere
ly one form of anarchy and that an
nrchy Is the forerunner of tyranny.
The president vigorously urges that the
penalty for that crime which most fire.
quently induces resort to lynching
shall be applied swiftly and surely, but
by due process Of the courts. so that it
may be demonstrated that the law is
adequate to deal with crime by freeing
1t from every vestige of technicality
md delay"
President Roosevelt's letter says in
part:
"The nation, like the individual, can
not commit crime with impunity. II
we are guilty of lawlessness and brutal
violence, whether our guilt consists in
active participation therein or in mere
connivance and encouragement, we
shall assuredly suffer later on because
Of what we have done. The corner
stone Of this republic, as of all free
governments, is respect for and obedi-
ence to the law. Where we permit the
law to be defied or evaded. whether by
rich man or poor man, by black man
or white, we are by just so much weak
enlng the bonds of our civilization and
increasing the chances of its overthrow
and of the substitution therefor of a
system in which there shall be violent
alterations Of anarchy and tyranny"
