THE LAPSE OF OHIO.

A Democratic majority for GOV

ture of a shock to many Republi-
cans who have not followed close
ly the incidents of the campaign,
but itshas been evident for some
time that there was serious defec-

sorry acceptance of Boss Cox as the
Hamilton county leader has been
constantly an increasing detri-

The ringing speech Of Secretary
Taft two weeks ago at Akron, in
which he declared that if he
thought Herrick had any direct
alliance with Cox he would not be
there to speak for Herrick, was a
errifc blow between the eyes for
the Governor, and following that
speech Boss Cox sulked in his tent
and declared he would not lift a

THE PEOPLE" HAVE SPOKEN.

1t is with more than ordinary
pride that Mr.. Lee, the successful
candidate for Sheriff, should look
upon the returns of the election
held Tuesday. A determined
fight was made against him by two
opposing candidates and the whole
force Of Democratic stumpers had
their guns levelled in his direction.
That he won is no surprise to his
party friends and associates. The
great majority accorded him by
the voters of the county attests his
popularity more than anything
else could.
Mr.. Lee will bring with him to
the office he will soon occupy the
ability and determination to exc
cute his duties faithfully and i'm
partially. Thus the people"
have spoken and with no uncertain
voice.

THE Democratic candidate for
Sheriff in the late election was
thrown down hard by his party as
sociates here in Oakland who gave
out the word Monday night to cut
him and vote for Shartzer. In the
two Oakland districts the latter
received the votes of seventy Re-
publicans, the balance of his
strength being drawn from the
Democrats, which of course hurt

Letter to Senator Ravenscroft.

Dear Sir: Have you found out
you can paint job with fewer gal
Ions Devoe than Of anything else,
lead-and-oil or anything else?
Mr.. Floyd Amy, House and
Sign Painter, Greenwich, N Y. ,
found it out three years ago, he
writes: Il. have used Devoe lead
and-zinc forllthe past three years,
and cannot say too much in its
favor. I am using it now on big
job that I took by contract, and it
has saved me at least SIS in the
cost of material"
Devoe is the strongest paint we
know-ot; goes further takes less of
it to do your job.
Lead-and-oil is pure; lead-and
zinc is stronger; covers more; goes
further.
Have you found-out you can
paint gallon Devoe in less than
gallon of anything else? That
means less time for the job. Less
time; less money.
Less paint; less money for that
less time, less money for that.
Devoe lasts longer; do you mind
The less money for that? You are
surer Of it.
Yours truly,
II f. w DEvoE & Co.
P. S. j. NJ. Davis & Son sells our
paint.

IT'S NOT SO WRITTEN

- ~ WI ~ ~ stis IN
What a halcyon day it would
have been for the old group of
bosses if by any trick of fate, or
trick of ballot, or trick of ballot
padding, the old group of bosses
could have been able to
count majority Tuesday night
for a measure which would have
given them perpetual and absolute
power, and which has been univer-
sally pronounced the mos infa-
nous proposal to invade the rights
of voters that has ever been thrust
brazenly into the faces of a free
and intelligent people.
At the very first election follow
lag the operation of the proposed
engraftment upon the Constitution
the period of the political satur-
MALTA would have begun. Voters
would be wholly at the mercy of
registrars, who would be in every
way subservient to the bosses.
The privilege of appeal would be
made nugatory. The understand
ing clause" would hit one humid
red thousand, and the remainder
who would dare to oppose the bos-
ses could be caught by the grand
father clause" for it would be
difficult for even the wel1.know
citizen to prove that his ancestors
voted previous to 1909, and if not
he mnst Construe the Constitution.
Honestly could actually be permit
ed at the polls for the very good
reason that all the dishonest work
could be accomplished in the reg
istration.
With the first legislative election
bossism would be supreme at An
napolis. County authorities would
be gathered into the boss fold and
every dollar of taxation, state and
local, would be expended in sweet
harmony with the benefcent and
affeCtionate solicitude of the pa
triotic statesmen who backed the
scheme to disfranchise everyone
against whose name they placed
their black mark of disapproval.
1t is easy, but not pleasing, to
compose torcible periods decriptive
of this sort Of patriot, and there
fore, in lieu of the home product
of such political literature, it may
not be offensive to quote the words
of so experienced and eloquent a
diplomat is Mr., Joseph R. Choate,
foremost of all our representatives
in the fed Of diplomacy, and who
has only recently resigned his po-
sition as ambassador at the Court
of St. James.
"A boss, said Mr.. Choate in a
great speech delivered at Carnegie
Hall, New York, "is a creature
without scruple or conscience, who
fills his capacious NAV with graft:
who feeds his greedy follower with
political garbage from the official
flesh pots and swill pals"
This phrasing of a profession
al diplomat; what then, would be
the description Of the boss by the
person uncultivated in the art of
using find words to conceal ideas,
and whose highest skill is to call a
spade a spade? 1t is not so writ
ten that such men shall again rule
IN Maryland. 1t will never come
to pass
