Mr. Lehman declared that Senator
Burton never spoke to the district at

about the Rialto fraud order case at
any time. A senator of the United
States, Mr.. Lehman declared, had

luctance in the Democratic party to
nationalize the issue of public operation
of public utilities. The action Of
the Ohio state convention which NOM
mated Mr.. Pattison for governor marks
a distinct reaction from the party course
which led to the crushing defeat Of Mr..
Johnson two years ago. The platform
is notable because 1t suggests local
option on the question of public or pri-
vate ownership Of local public utilities
and declares that between Democracy
and Socialism there is no peace and no
reconciliation.
Considered as local question public
ownership has many advocates in the
Democratic northern cities, but there is
not up to this time any important indi-
cation that Mr.. Bryan's theory of state
ownership will become a party problem.
The south Is against 1t. So are the east
and the far west. And among Demo-
cratic leaders everywhere there is a
disposition to so conduct discussions
of this and kindred issues as to leave
the Republicans no justification what
ever for the cry of Socialism raised
against the Democratic party in 1896
If the Ohio Democrats reduce the Re-
publican majority in that state to the
normal $4,000 this fall it is likely that
their treatment of these propositions
will be adopted by the Democratic
country, relieving the next national con-
