GOES THE LIMIT

Ever since the adjournment OF
the Ohio Republican convention, the
Toledo Blade has been making
severe attacks upon Cox, Brown
and Guilbert, but more particular
ly upon three of the men who
were nominated by the machine
which controlled the convention
and which consisted OF the Illus
trious triumvrate just mentioned
rhe men who have been and are
still being most viciously attacked
are Fullington. candidate for audi
tor of state, Green, the nominee for
state treasurer and Denman, the
candidate for attorney general.
Notwithstanding the viciousness or
its attack upon the machine and
the three nominees mentioned, the
Blade has stood up solidly for
William IL. Taft, who now holds
the distinction of being 0hiu's fav-
orite son, from a Republican point
OF view.
The course Of reasoning taken
by the Blade is not exactly clear.
1t cannot be disputed that Mr..
Taft formed an alliance with the
Ohio machine managers to secure
the endorsement Of the convention
for the presidency. Neither can IL
be denied that the three nominees
against which the Blade holds so
much that II demands that they be
removed from the ticket connived
with the machine leaders in order
to land the nomination. All OF the
difference between Mr.. Taft and
IGreen, Fullington and Denman Is
that Taft was after the presidency
and the other three were after
places on the state ticket. This Is
all of the difference SO far as be-
ing connected with the machine
was concerned Yet the Blade Ii
ready to drive the state nominees
from the ticket and to whoop ZEN
up for Tart.

Winters. it is very evident that Ma
rion and Wyandot counties will cut
quite a figure in the coming conven-
ton. With this situation 1t becomes
very evident that the thing for these
two counties to do is to select un-
pledged delegations and send them
to the convention to select the man
who is best fitted for the position and
who can be elected.

are condemning Taft for his part
blame the three nominees. AS evid-
ence of this fact the following edi-
toI-ial is taken from the columns
of The Sandusky Register Mr..
Mack, the publisher of the Register,
takes the Blade very severely to
task for having gone only half way
in It's fight against the bosses and
the boss candidates. Mr.. Mack
says:
IAN this is beautiful but unfor-
tunately the Blade does not carry
it far enough. 1t is down on Green
Fullington and Denman because
they were nominated by Cox,
Brown and Guilbert, and 1t quotes
from Secretary Tait's speech at
Akron in 1905, when he made bolt
ing popular by sayirlg that he
would bolt ticket nominated by
George b. Cox, and it reminds it's
readers that Taft said that Cox
had fixed slate and that the Cox
organization was founded on the
cohesive power OF public patronage,
etc. 1t concludes that the way to
smash the machine Is the Taft way
of Withholding support from the
nominees of the machine, that is
boiling the ticket, and it predicts
that unless Green, Fullington and
Denman get off the ticket. they
will be defeated by the patriotic
Republicans who are to follow the
lead of Secretary Taft in his fight
against bosslsm within the Republi.
can party.
This brave talk would have
much more effective on our mind IL
the Blade would carry it to its ,logi-
cal conclusion. Mr.. Taft himself, SO
far as the vote of Ohio in the nat
ional convention is concerned. is
the beneficiary of the most perfect
ly bossed machine ever constructed
within the State OF Ohio, and we
the skill of the late lamented Mark
Hanna. There never was more
perfectly bossed gathering of Re-
publicans, calling themselves rep
resentatives OF their respective
counties, than the late State con-
vention that declared for William
/ II. Taft and selected four dele
gates-at-large TO vote for him In
the national convention. The MIA

heads the great machine which has

orders from headquarters in Wash

are to be turned over to some nation
which has a scheme for enlarging its
navy in a hurry. The head Of the

REAL BASE BALL.

w. ] hampton in New York World.
Oh, take me away from the base ball game
Where science is at the bat
And the players play
In a technical way
Till a rube can't tell where they're at.
Where scores are highest when nothing at
And nobody takes a base;
Where nobody makes
Any sort of mistakes
And everything's just in place.
Where spectators keep on the watch for
So close tina it gives them a pain;
And whatever's done
In hit, catch or run
They scream at to take off the strain.
oh, carry me back to the old-fashioned
Thai doesn't know science at all,
Where the sides go in
With a whoop to win,
And they don't do a thing but play ball.
Where twenty or thirty or forty runs
Are likely as not to be made;
And the bags are hot
From many a swat
In games that are played as is played.
Where the catcher don't look like an
armored knight
And the pitcher is not so intense,
The batter can't hit
EN- a little bit,
But bangs 'em clean over the fence.
Where something is doing that sure stirs
up the soul
About every minute or so,
With the home runs made
And double plays played
And the whole darn thing on the go.
Where grandstand and bleachers are all Of
a kind,
And are there because they are there
To see a good game
That's good just the same
Though science be up in the air.
take me away from the base ball game
Where scientists nave the call,
And give me the play
That lasts half a day
Hurrah! That is ball; thai is ball.
