He was not recalled as being on For

inquired: What Wolf; are you Rob-

You have been publishing a lot OF
things about me, which are absolutely
false Foraker said, "and you have
not undertaken to find out the truth
You have said l am worth $S,000,00o

back and stared at the senator.
Don't you look mad at me-" shout
ed Foraker, shaking his index finger
at Wolf Il won't tolerate it and you
will find it out" Wolf started to ex-
plain that he was but printing the
news, saying there was an awful up

senator stands for.
"Tll tell you about this uprising"
said Foraker There are not enough
of you fellows to form an uprising.
The uprising you see here in Dayton

LET JUSTICE BE DONE, THOUGH
THE HEAVENS FALL.

Postmaster Morgan is evidently thin
skinned, from the remarks in the
Leader of Alliance, paper owned by
the Morgan interests. In reply to the
statement that the Republican county
executive committee was preparing to
file charges against the postmasters of
the county who have been perniciously
active in politics, it says:

hairs to discover the difference in mo-

the disappointed ones had confer
ence in Canton at the Mar-Lew res
taurant Monday. There was Grant,
Doc McQuate, Bill Herbst, Charley
Lloyd, Roscoe McCulloch and Doc
Bush. Their cry was, o for a Moses
TO lead us out of the wilderness into

If the venom in the above items
does not prove that the charges madd
by the members of the Republican
county executive committee are about
true they prove but little. These was
never such fragrant violation of the
letter and the spirit Of the civil SER
vice rules than has been exhibited in
the recent congressional fight in this
district. The public action in politi-
cal matters of certain Office holders
should be called to the attention of
. the government for the good of all con-
eerned.

MR.. REEDS POSITION.
rhe Canton Morning News.

The Canton Morning News,
Dear Enclosed you will find q
postofflce order for the Morning News
TO be sent to my address for one year,
as we always like to read the old home
news regardless of it's political aff1lia-
tions. Toledo is independent and II
keeps it's best men in their respective
Office as long as they are honest and
faithful in their work. The lndepen.
dents held a meeting on Saturday and
adopted good platform and they ex.
pect to elect their ticket again. The
reason that send copy of this plat.
form to your honorable paper is thai
l built your city park under an inde.
pendent board of park commissioners
and we used less money to build and
maintain the park than it does to only
keep park clean under the political
bosses by that reformed code law of
Ohio politicians.
Respectfully yours,
F. w. Reed, No. 713 Walnut St, To.
ledo, Ohio.
The platform Mr.. Reed sends is ds
follows:
INDEPENDENT PLATFORM.
First-That local affairs should be
separate from and independent of par.
ty politics, and we should have the
fullest measure of home rule.
Second-That public officers should
be selected on account of their hon.
esty and efficiency, regardless of po-
litical party affiliation.
Third--That no franchise for any
public utility should be granted or ex-
tended except by a direct vote of
the people
Fourth-The people should be more
active in selecting their officials and
should not allow an office seeker to
bring about his own nomination.
Fifth-That nominations should be
made by petition and that the pure
Australian form of ballot should be
adopted.
Sixth-We believe in the initiative
and referendum under proper limita-
tions and in the right to recall in case
of fragrant abuse.
Seventh-That franchises for public
utilities should be subject to taxation.
Eighth-That a public Office is a
public trust for the equal benefit of
all the people.
Ninth-That the judiciary should be
relieved from the burden of party pol
itics.
Tenth-That United States senators
should be elected by direct vote of
the people.
Eleventh-Machine and boss rule
must be eXterminated.

LOOKS FAVORABLE.

Signs are beginning to multiply that
the appeal of the News to the North
ern Ohio Traction company, relative
to the granting of concessions to the
patrons of the Canton-Akron railroad
when they take charge of their new
purchase will meet ready response
from the new owners.
From Massillon comes the statement
that the company has decided to is
sue tickets in that place and in Can
ton good on both city lines in place
of being good only on the lines in the
city in which they are issued. This
is one of the concessions that the
News asked for in behalf of the peo>
Pile
Mr. Harrigan, the present manager
of the line, is reported in the Massil
lon paper as announcing that the new
company as soon as it assumes charge,
will take up the matter of issuing
Communication tickets between Canton
and Massillon. Mr.. Harrigan stated
that he could not speak on behalf of
the new company, but the tone of his
remarks indicated that the outlook is
favorable for the granting of the same
From these various indications the
News is encouraged in the belief that
its appeal made some time ago will
be granted to the patrons of the street
railway lines in this vicinity, and that
among other concessions will be that
of transfers from interurban cars.
The News pledges on behalf of the
people of this vicinity the best of
treatment to the new company if these
reforms are carried out, and 1t be- |
lieves if such occurs that the deep |
seated prejudice now existing against
the local road will be greatly remov- |
ed and that the increase of patronage |
TO the company will prove that every
concession is more than reciprocated.

How appropriate and timely was the
action of the band at the Dayton Re-
publican convention. When Foraker
and Dick appeared in the convention
hall amid that great crowd of politi-
cal heelers it struck up, HAL, Hail,
the Gangs all Here. What the HI Do
We Care" 1t is no wonder the crowd
appreciated the hint, and as the press
reports say, responded with roar.

INSURGENTS ROUTED
CONTINUED From Page one.)

Cleveland, moved that Dick be re-
quested to resign the craftsmanship
of the state executive committee to
which he was reelected last night.
Burton spoke for the motion.
BURTON'S REMA4..,5.
Some sharp differences have devel-
oped and the present should be the
time to adjust them" he said, then
we may come forth with a solid front.
We insist on fair play. Dicks state
ment of some weeks ago set forth
that he desired a vote before this con-
vention on the question of the execu-
tive committee chairmanship. Violat-
ing all precedent, the state central
committee has already Chosen an ex-
ecutive chairman. Against this we
protest. If Dick will step aside it
means certain party victory" said
Burton. IF the majority shall so rule,
Dick may go before the people and say
I was chosen in a way no man can
put aside
Burton closed with a challenge to
the senatorial alliance to- answer his
battle cry. When he concluded there
were cries for Dick. Foraker pushed
to the front. He said he was not
delegate and had no right to speak,
but had been called and would say
few words.
STORM OF Kisses.
1T
man who was good enough to be chair
man ior President Mckinley and was
unanimously chosen United States SEN
ator, should not now be good enough
spond to the call, cry for Daugherty
rang up and he strode up the aisle to
the stage. His appearance called forth
sudden storm of Kisses and derisive
yells when he began by declaring that
he had no personal interest in this
contest. l am a delegate" he cried,
"and ask no more than any other
delegate. There is nothing personal
in my politics and l have no -"
Daugherty stood not whit abashed
while the thunder of Kisses provoked
by this declaration lasted. 81 am not
here to pluck a feather from the plum
age or a star from the crown of any
man, be he senator or citizen" Daugh-
erty continued. "If by misrepresenta-
ton such an impression has gone out,
let them write today in the platfQgm
that l will never seek or accept public
Office, and ! will sign it am here
to urge the elimination of unnecessary
questions in the close districts"
Daugherty declared his admiration for
Dick, and gave recognition to his SER
vice to the party but he ended with a
plea for new deal and gave his pledge
of party loyalty to the conventions
decision, whatever it might be. The
motion was lost by two to one vote.
The fight on the tariff question was
started when the Burton men insisted
upon declaration for an early revision
of the tariff. They also presented a
plank providing for the election of
senators by a direct vote of the peo-
pie, but both this and their tariff
plank went rejected.
Foraker here was forced to make a
concession, as he all along had taken
a stand pat" attitude on the tariff
question. The ticket nominated was
as follows:
For secretary of state, Carmi A.
Thompson, Lawrence county; dairy
and food commissioner. Renick w.
Dunlap, Pickaway county; school com
missioner, Edmund A. Jones, Stark
county (re-nominated); member state
board OF public works, George H. Wat
kins, Scioto county Ge-nominated).
