THE SQUARE DEAL IN OHIO

one would naturally suppose that the
Republicans of Cleveland, Ohio. would
stand by the moneyed interests. They
were for years under the leadership of
Mark Hanna. Cleveland is the home of
a large portion of the STANDARD Oil COM
pany, and the steel trust has extensive
interest there.
Yet Cleveland apparently stands for
the Square Deal. In the Cuyahoga
county Republican convention a few
days ago, Senators Foraker and Dick
were not only refused an endorsement.
but 339 out of $40 delegates voted for
resolution demanding that the latter re-
iinquish the state leadership. It is true
that Senator Dick won in the Ohio state
convention yesterday, but it was not
with the aid of Cleveland Republicans.
The tenor Of Cleveland Republicanism
can be judged by the platform adopted,
the first plank of which says:
The legislature should enact a pri-
mary law, providing that the nomina-
ton Of all candidates of all parties
should be made at popular primaries
held upon the same day with the same
safeguards and under the same control
as general elections.
United States senators should be
nominated at such primaries. and we
favor legislation securing that end.
Until such legislation can be secured
the Republican party Of Ohio, always
responding to the will Of the people. di-
reefs its state executive committee to
/ order that the candidates of the party
for senator be nominated at primaries
| by popular VOTE
| Cleveland is not a stand pat" com,
munity either. On the subject of the
/ tariff the Republican says:
We reaffirm our adherence to the
Republican policy of a protective tariff,
/ which has been so potent a factor IN the
4 magnificent Industrial and commercial
! development of this country; but we
recommend that congress should not
/ postpone the consideration of tariff
| changes until a general revision becomes
necessary, but should now and from
time to time make such changes in
/ schedules and rates as may be shown
/ wise. We believe some existing rates
are no longer needed for protection
I against the foreign producer, and that
/ duties should be so adjusted as to give
our home manufacturers the advantage
only Of the difference between the cost
of production at home and abroad
Senator Dick also failed of endorse
ment in his home county at Akron. He
was present in the convention in person
and insisted that Senator Foraker
should be endorsed as well as himself
The result was that the convention left
them both out, and further adopted a
resolution declaring that United States
senators should be elected by direct vote
Of the people.
When such declarations as these are
made by Republicans in cities like
Akron and Cleveland, it is evident tina,
Ohio is rapidly falling in line for the
Square Deal ideas-not in the limited
sense that they are at present spoken
Of in Kansas, but in the broad sense Of
the interests of me people as a whole
With public sentiment going in this
direction. 1t is very easy TO see whaf

not likely that the Republicans would

Taft and other big guns TO help Little

that Gompers had as much influence

TAFT FOR TARIFFS REVISION

TAFT FOR TARIFF REVISION
The administration, in the person of
Secretary Taft has come to Congress-
man Littleleld's support with becoming
yigor. Incidentally, he departs mater
Tally from the fnhexible attitude pro-
claimed by Speaker Cannon and accept
ed by most of the party advocates. The
purpose to stand pat" is Of doubtful
popularity in New England, and Mr.
Taft wisely interjects his individual
opinion" to the effect that there has
been a change in the business condi-
tons of the country, making it wise and
just to revise the schedules of the exist
ing tariff" He thinks that the sentiment
IN favor Of a revision of the tariff lis
growing in. the Republican party and
that in the near future the members
of the party will doubtless be able to
agree on a reasonable plan" Hesitating
as this promise of revision is, it is very
significant, especially when we consider
Mr.. Tant's close relations with the
president. It is not desired to make the
issue prominent in this election, but,
with a Republican house assured the
administration is likely to give it some
thing to think about in the way of tariff
revision.-Philadelph Ledger.
