The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1906-03-01

Roosevelt Of the Eleventh Dis.
trict." There was much of truth
in this Introductory remark, for
the candidate, after returning his
thanks to his friends, preceded
to make some Of the old moss
backs and stand-Latters gasp by
his modem utterances.
Continuing the remarks else
where quoted about the machine,
he announced himself in favor of
party organization. On this he
said:
"It has become somewhat the
fashion at this time to speak of all
political leaders as 'bosses, and
all organizations as machinery,
and that one of the results of last
falls election was the destruction
of the Republican organization in
this state. l do not deny that the
Republican organization in Ohio
needed spanking, and | am sure
it will benefit by its punishment !;
at the same time | do very ear
nestly believe that noble fellow
was sacrificed for the sins of
others. am convinced that few
men stand higher to. day in the es-
TEEN of the people of this state
than Myron r. Herrick.
"At the same time, while we do
sincerely deplore Mr.. Herrick's de-
feat and some of the means that
were used to bring it about, there
is much, indeed, in the last elec-
tion in Ohio and throughout the
country, to rejoice the heart Of
every sincere believer in public
righteousness, and in the capacity
of the American people for self
government. Party before county
is treason, and it sometimes hap
pens that party before city is
treason at any rate the indepen-
dent voter must be reckoned with
in local, state and national poll
tics; and / do assure yoU, one and
all, and the people of the district
generally, that l shall endeavor
and shall hope to reckon with
every such citizen during the COM
ing campaign"
When it came to discussing ma
tional issues the candidate made
the old fellows gasp, saying on the
tariff: cit is one, as i conceive,
of the glories of that great Amer
ican system, whose apostle and ex-
ponent was our own Mckinley,
that each must sometimes give up
something for the good of the
whole. As. the sugar interests
have just been called upon to bow
the honor and glory of the nations,
so it may sometimes happen that
some peculiar interest of our own
district must be asked to concede
something to the welfare of the
whole country.
"And now, directly in this con-
nectiOn, it may be well for me to
say that in general way would
not be considered stand patter,
but rather progressor upon this
tariff question. Not only do l not
believe that we. as a party, are
bound to reverence the schedules
of the Dipgley law, great and
powerful as it mas been for the
prosperity of the country, but
rather would / be considered as .
Mckinley protectionist; and l sin
cerely hope to see the party, o.
which he was the great and belov
ed leader, adopt the policy of hi
last II essage to it, delivered a
Buffalo"
Before the straightbacks hat
their breath back he handed then
this on the railroad rate legisla
tion, taking terrific swipe a
General Grosvenor and seryin,
notice on Senators Foraker ant
Dick that there was new deal il
the Eleventh District:
sin this connection may ais
say a word or two as to other o
the general question which no,
: confront US as party and as
/ people.
