In leading editorial this week
the Globe. Democrat sounds warn
ing to the Republicans by calling
attention to the fact that in the
Roosevelt landslide four years ago,
he received only about 100000
more votes than were cast for Nc
Kinley in 1896, although the voting
population had increased some
. coo. 600. Leaves the impression
that the Democrats have been IN
the habit of going fishing in re-
cent presidential elections, but that
they might wake up to a response
bility of their duty on the 8rd OF

Mr. Taft has brought himself down
to the level Of the men, who since
the county has gone dry, prctends
that he Is and always has been a rad
ical temperance man. There are
some, and we all know them, who
were on the verge of coming out op-
enly for temperance, but when in the
latter part of the campaign it was
thought that the temperance forces
were losing ground, decided to keep
hands off. Since the election, how
ever, they are trying to make it ap-
pear that they were the original Sim
on pure advocates to local option. SO
it is with Taft. 1t all depends upon
to whom he Is talking.

Governor Harris, II, Edmund Hill,
candidate for representative from

that temperance is the only issue in
the campaign. They do not recog-
nize the unheard Of rottenness in the
state house at Columbus as an Issue
in which the voters are interested.
So far as the local option question in
Ohio is concerned, that matter is set
tied. We now have the county local
option law and Marion county ha2
voted and registered her decision
against the saloon. Now let us turn
our attention to the state offices and

of the gang which has had its hands
on the throats OF the taxpayers for

The National Tribune in its last
issue has this to say:
. "Remember veterans of all wars:
"A vote for VIM. j. Bryan is a
vote to bring into power all the
men who have been your constant
and injurious enemies.
"A vote for VIM. H. Taft Is a
vote to keep in power the men who
have been your constant and gen.
erously helpful friends, who have
given you all you have gained"
Also remember veterens Of all
wars:
A vote for Mr.. Bryan is vote
for a man who in the Spanish
American war, became soldier. A
vote for Mr.. Bryan is @ vote for I
man who loves and respects the men,
ory of the old soldiers.
A vote for Mr. Taft is vote
for the man who stood at the tomb

clared that yorkingmen are "a lot of

The absurd charge that Mr.. Bryan
used such language is founded on an

made such a remark to him at hear
Ing In committee on the Wilson tariff
bill In 1893.
No man who knows William ]. Bry-
an believes that he would say one
thing in public and something entire
ly opposite in private. His private
life has boen noted for his sympathy
with and respect for the toiling
masses and his public record bears
ample proof OF II.
In his celebrated speech on the
Wilson tariff bill in congress Jan. 13,
1894, which was acknowledged by the
leading newspapers Of the country to
be the greatest speech of that session,
Mr.. Bryan expressed his regard for

terms exactly opposite to the Ian
