GOV. HARRIS IS IN BAD

Ohio Executive, Said to Be
Really Harmless, Faces
a Hard Fight,
Friends Fear Dislike for To-

MIDDLE BASS ISLAND. Ohio, Sept
5-Of all the hot political fights in this
State. the hottest is the one which the
liquor interests and their allies are max
ing against Andrew Iintner Harris, Re
publican candidate for reelection as
governor.
Andrew Idntner neither owns nor

ordinary business suit But this is not a
real issue in the campaign

seasickness is pleasant as a summer day
amid roses and laughter when compared
TO what the governor suffers on smell
Ing the aroma Of a pipe, cigar, or cigar

in the campaign
Andrew Lintner IS worth Sl0O,000. all OF

manipulation or the acres OF his farm
near Eaton. He knows how 10 make
money, and he knows. how to put il in
the bank and not think about it any
more except when the interest on il

a real issue in the campaign.
The Real Issue.
The real issue is that Andrew Ltntner

street signed the local option bin which
was passed By the last Legislature. This

John N. Pillsbury, a shareholder. The
most of the stock is held in England.
The receivership was forced on the
company, because of lack OF cash with
which to buy wheat at present prices
to fulfill export contracts. Unsecured
liabilities are estimated at five millions,
secured at four millions. The assets
are said to aggregate fifteen millions.
The company is capitalized at five
million. The company operated five
mills with an aggregate capacity of
thirty thousand barrels of flour daily.
The receivers announced this after
noon that they did not believe any

May Fight
Order of
Roosevelt

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug S.-If a
veiled statement made here today by
a leading army officer is authority, a
general strike will soon be made
against the new riding tests institut-
ed by President Roosevelt to prove the
efficiency of high army officers. 1t Is
declared the order lacks the proper
legal foundation, as it is contended
that all orders 'for the good of the
service" should originate in congress.
A movement is reported to be under
way to bring the matter to an imme-
diate test by colonels and majors who
are called upon to straddle horses for
90-mile rides and wear out army
leather on 50-mile hikes. 1t is pointed
out that if the tests are for the good
of the service they. should effect all
grades of the servicd instead of being
directed solely at the higher officers.
