Sues was the statement made by
Congressman Harvey c.. CARRIER,
chairman of the Democratic State Ex-
ecutive committee 1t was in the ma
ture of a response to the declaration
by Senator Dick, that the Republicans
proposed to fight upon national is
sues. He said another important thing
In this:
William Jennings Bryan will speak
lin Ohio, but Just when and where has
not been decided. At leastat cannot
be, stated positively, at this time. That
Is to be worked out. Mr., Bryan will
{discuss state Issues upon the line of
bossism and graft, Just as Governor
= Folk, of Missouri, did in the last
b campaign when Governor Pattison
scored such decisive victory. AS a
matter of fact Mr.. Bryan believes that
state issues should predominant In this
fight, and he will take his text from
such staunch Republican journals as
the Toledo Blade, the Ohio State
Journal, the Cleveland Leader, the
Dayton Herald, the Columbus Dis
patch and many others, including the
Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune up to
a certain date, when it shifted sud-
denly. These journals will furnish
him abundant material in the way
of information upon conditions pre-
yailing in Ohio"
TO LAY OUT CAMPAIGN.
Chairman CARRIER announced that the
Democratic State Executive committee
purpose of laying out the work of the
campaign, a call having been issued
for a meeting of that body immedi-
ately upon the close of the Republican
state convention. The candidate for
secretary Of state, Samuel A. Hoskins,
of Wapakoneta, is ready to begin his
work and will take the stump within
a week or ten days fully equipped
with sufficient material to put his op-
ponent upon the defensive. During
round of the county fairs, his first
date being that in Miami County at
Troy. The Democratic committee is
amply supplied with information re-
garding the management of Republi-
can state affairs within the past 15
years, having caught a glimpse of them
during the short incnmbe beney Of Cow
ernor Pattison, and. they are prepared
with arguments to show that the
cleaning out process, SO unhappfly
stayed, should be continued.
In his Cincinnati address Bryan gave
foretaste of what might be expected
of him after he comes into the state
upon his political errand on behalf of
the state ticket. In the meantime he
proposes to further inform himself as
to the causes of the Burton-Daugh-
elrty movement, and will, no doubt,
pay his respects to the senatorial alli-
ance. .,se
1t is not likely that any other out
side speaker will be invited into the
state, unless 1t should be Governor
Folk, of Missouri, who has signifed
a disposition to continue the work
where he left it off last fall. when
he spoke at Cincinnati and Springfield
with such telling effect.
SECRET is OUT.
During the coming week the tour of
Mr.. Hoskins will be arranged, and
within fortnight the Democratic
campaign will be under way to the
fullest extent 1t is now no longer a
secret that the leaders OF the state
Democracy exercised their influence to
have the senators win at the state
convention at Dayton, knowing that
such action would cause the rank and
file of the Republican party to be-
come apathetic and disgusted.
1t Is only fair to say that the
Democratic managers appear to be
more familiar with Republican con-
ditions than do the Republican lead
ers, as witness their accurate predic-
tions of the past two campaigns. In
both of them the Republican managers
were out of the way from 10000 to
100000.
The strongest kind of a feeling of
confidence exists about headquarters
in the ability of the Democrats to win
the coming fight with result of gain
ing number Of congressman who will
be genuine Roosevelt supporters and
not the imitation Republican brand,
as one of the leaders put 1t.
