The Democrat-sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1906-1935, 1906-11-01

Cox OF Cincinnati ruled the Ham
ilton county delegation In the re-
publican state convention and
voted for the senators as against
President Roosevelt, who was rep.
resented by Congressman Burton
Boss Cox dictated the nomination
by the republican convention, of
MIR. Thompson for secretary of
state. Thompson is now speaker
Of the house of representatives,
and as such has a record to defend.
Mr.. Hcskins is making fight on
the same lines Governor Pattison
fought. He is opposed to bos, ism
to Dick, to Foraker and to Cox.
His election will mean that the re-
publican party of Ohio, unable to
cast out it's own dross in it's own
convention, has cast it out through
the instrumentality of the demo-
cratic party. The election Of
Thompson would mean that the
republican party of the state su-
pinely sits down and permits it's
hands and feet to be tied and
calmly surrenders to the absolute
and unqualified bossship of a sen.
atorial combine that is engineered
and directed by the greatest graf
ter of the century, Boss George B.
Cox.
From this statement Of fact
democratic duty in Ohio may be
easily discerned. The republicans
of the state, who are as patriotic
as democrats, are anxious to be
relieved of the odium that attaches
to boss. ridden party, are anxious
to declare their independence of
senatorial combines and local
spoilsmen and grafters, and also
expect to accomplish their ends,
are with the democracy of the
state rallying to the bugle call of
the late Governor Pattison's per-
sonal representatives. A democrat
who fails to vote his ticket in Ohio
this year does so at the expense of
patriotism as we'll as of party feal-
ty. There is no appeal made by
Democratic speakers or writers to
partlsanship in this campaign.
The appeal is made direct to loyal
citizens of all parties. Ii an APP
proximately full democratic vote
can be polled in Ohio the plurality
for Candidate Hoskins will exceed
that OF Governor Pattison g year
ago. There can be and is no
question of this, and no Buckeye
democrat can afford to remain
away from the polls or refrain
from urging every other democrat
to stand up and be counted on the
9th day of November.
If we can carry Ohio again this
year, and we can if we vote, the
contest in 1908 will have been
practically decided. If the demo-
Gratis can score a second consecu-
tive victory in this state they are
to secure the third
one and cast the states
electoral vote for the democratic
in 1908.
The campaign is comparatively
luiet. Determination is set in
very voters face, but little talk
s heard. The peoples minds are
made up. Those republicans who
lid not learn last year to scratch
heir tickets, but who are none the
ess patriotic and who hesitate
his year ON the ground of reluc-
ancy to do that which their con-
cience commends them to do, will
tay at home. The 10000 who
earned last year that it is not a
ivic crime to vote for a man
hough his name appear beneath
n emblem that is strange to their
artisanship, will vote the demo-
ratio ticket without.a tcratch this
ear. And the democratic state
Icket, if it is defeated at all, will
e defeated by democrats.
So far as the congressional stu
tion is concerned there is not a
emocratic candidate for congress
l Ohio who has not chance of
lection. Instead of having one
emoerat in the next congress, as
he had in the last, Ohio will have
