GOVERNOR BLIND TO

votes of Democrats.
GOVERNOR BLIND TO BOSSES.
Governor Harris said In his speech
at Youngstown: II know that the
last Republican state convention was
not 4 bossed convention, quite the
opposite was the true character of
that body.
The Governor does not seem TO be
reading Republican papers very
closely since the assembly of bosses
and their machine made delegates,
which he calls a convention, nomi-
mated him for governor and parcelled
out the rest of the ticket among
themselves.
We have sufficient testimony from
Republican papers as to the real
character of that convention, without
calling and Democratic witnesses
Next day after the Governors so
called Embossed convention the
Akron Beacon Journal (Rep) said
''The men who had the experienced
and powerful politicians--''B Bosses"
| ii you win--behlnd them, won out
The Monroe Gazette (Rep) in its
issue March IL, said: 'sThe big
bosses OF the Taft state convention,
fooled some of the candidates and
some of the people" also "Vorys got
his Endorsement for Taft and the
machine took everything in sight
which includes the Governor; also
"the convention was manipulated by
the greatest bunch of political Grim
inals that ever held sway in Ohio"
! The Toledo Blade (Rep) March
III, denounced the nominations Of
three candidates on the ticket and
said: 1.-The Brown-C -Guilbert
Clique manipulated the convention in
the interests OF the men they had
selected for the three important posi-
tions, and they secured exactly what
, they wanted" The Blade also said
at that time: "the citizen who does
mot know that a cliqpe OF politicians
composed of Walter Brown, Walter
Guilbert and George Cox, aided by
lieutenants, had slate at last week 8
state convention and succeeded in
bagging the game, must either be
blinded by partisanship, or Is an am
ature in politics. "--.-- -.
Is the Governor blinded by part
isanship, or Is he an amature IN
politics?
The Blade has had many such ed
itorials during the summer, which
the Governor does not have seem to
have read.
The Medina Gazette Rep) March
27. said: 1.-THE three nominees Tor
these offices (Auditor, Treasurer and
Attorney GeneralD on the Republican
ticket this year, were made by men
and bosses, under grave suspicion.
They were made against the welfare
of the party and for private ad-
vantage and plumber. Let the voter
remember this and have the courage
to refuse TO condome this state ring
evil"
The McConnellsville Herald (Rep)
SOM after the convention said
"The bosses, Cox Brown -Bieser and
Guilbert have for years controlled
the offices Of state auditor and treas
urer (: ::: The usuai
plan is to have two willing tools
appointed deputy auditor and deputy
treasurer and them nominate them
later as auditor and treasurer. y
The Mlddletown JounfN CRep)
duly 3, referring to rumor that
Attorney General IEhlis would resign
and that Denanan, Browrs candidate
Tor the Office, would succeed him'
said: IF this done, IL Will be IN
line With the machine politics that
have governed nearly the entire he-
rublican ticket this fall.' The same
paper said in It's issue August 49,
that Fullington, Green and hirtiy
s.were nominated to perpetuate uhe
ring headed by State Auditor Gui-
bert"
The Cleveland Leader (Rep) next
day after the convection denouhceu
the nomination of Green for Treas
urer. and in It's issue as late as
August ~, befor the Governor spoke
at Youngstown, said mat Green was
named for the State Treasureship be
cause OF the selfish interests OF al
few men," and advised its readers
10 vote ior Dreamer. the Democratic
candidate.
