IONS OF Iaft were interpreted to be
the declarations of Roosevelt, also. In
olher words, the president as we'll as
MI. la1t, advised knitting the Repub-
mean ticket in Cincinnati in order to
rid the state of the stigma of Coxism
and the elements attached to it.
In his speech at Akron on October
II, 1905, Secretary Taft said in part:
Inc Hamilton county machine is the
result OF 10 or 20 years labor by
george b. Cox, man of great execu-
tive talent and political sagacity. Be-
ginning with the politics of the ward,
ne mas created political organization
IN Cincinnati and Hamilton county
FOUNDED on the cohesive power of the
public patronage which operates as
smoothly to control the nominations
and elections in the city and county
as a nicely adjusted Corliss engine.
THE condition is one of absolute
hopelessness on the part of any indie
pendent Republican seeking to take
part in politics and 70 act independ-
emily OF the machine; and the dis
tresslng effect is now seen upon all
the young men ambitious politically,
as 1T either drives them out Of politics
and deprives thespublic of their valu-
able services, or if they go into poll
tics, they must subordinate them
selves to the tyranny of the boss.
This machine, if it is to be broken
up, must be broken up by the voters
of Cincinnati and Hamilton county
| themselves. This is an end devoutly
to be wished, but it will take the hard
est kind of work in the city itself. The
machine cannot be defeated from the
outside. Cox and his subordinates
represent the regular Republican or
ganization in Hamilton county. No
one else can lawfully claim to do so,
and they must be admitted to every
| Republican state and national conven-
ton as such Representatives until law
fully defeated at the primaries in
Hamilton county.
IF l were able, as I fear / shall
not be, because public duty calls me
elsewhere, to cast my vote in Cincin-
natl in the coming election | should
vote against the municipal ticket nom
mated by the Republican organiza-
ton
/ When the election was held the
municipal ticket in Cincinnati-the
Cox ticket-was defeated by $4,000.
The advice of Secretary Taft had been
needed and thousands of Republic
cans who had been bowling down to
the dictatiOn OF Boss Cox knitted the
ticket they voted the Democratic city
ticket in fact, and In the defeat Of
that ticket Boss Cox was eliminated.
The day after election Cox announced
that he was going out of politics; he
would continue to vote, but could no
longer undertake to run the city Of
Cincinnati. This most commendable
victory was one gained through the
knitting OF the municipal ticket by
Republican voters, who acted on Mr..
Taft's advice. They voted the Demo-
cratic ticket to get rid Of Cox, and they
, won.
/ In the state election Herrick, the
, Republican candidate for governor,
' was defeated. There were any num-
e Der Of people who believed he was tied
I up with Cox, and these, inspired to
' independent action by Taft's words

: ment, Joined the Democrats tn elect
t ing Pattison, who died shortly aftes

BELIEVES IN HONESTY.
Taft Asserts That Voters Are Not
Bound to Party.

1t is the belief of William H. Taft,
Republican candidate for the presi-
dency, that it is not only the privil-
eye but the duty of every honest Re-
publican to knife" his party ticket
when that ticket contains the name of
any candidate unworthy of public con-
fidence.
In other words, Mr.. Taft believes
that no man should stultify himself by
voting straight ticket" merely for
the sake of being regular" when he
knows in his own heart that by so vot-
ing he may help put in office some
candidate who, through corruption or
other cause, has forfeited the right to
claim the support of honest men.
Though good partisan, Mr., Taft be-
leves an honest ticket is to be pre-
ferred to a straight" ticket.
Holding such views, Mr.. Taft has
taken occasion publicly to preach the
doctrine of clean politics. He has
gone upon the stump in Ohio and
urged the defeat of the Republican
ticket in his own city, and in so do
ing he paved the way for the defeat OF
the worst boss Ohio has ever known
In the campaign of 1905, Mr.. Taft
while secretary of war in President
RoOsevelt's cabinet went to Akron
where on October q he made the fol-
lowing declaration:
"If were able. as fear shall not
be, because public duty calls me else
where, to cast my vote in Cincinnati IN
the coming election. would vote

The year 1905 was critical one fol

whether boss rule should be over

chairman. The nominations were G.

upon c. D. Thomas for chairman of

Senator Charles Dick, former lieuten-
ant to Mark Hanna.
The Republicans had renominated
Governor Myron T. Herrick; the dem
ocratic state ticket was headed by
John M. Pattison. 1t was acknow-
lodged that the fight over the COVER
nOrShip was to be close one, not
withstanding Herrick had been elected
the first time by upwards of 125,000
majority. The church had taken a
hand in the campaign, and lent it's
powerful support to the Democratic
candidate. The Democrats centered
their fight on Herrick, caring little
about the rest of the ticket and in
the midst of the campaign it became
apparent that the state outside of the
district dominated by Cox, was about
evenly divided on the governorship.
Cox, having held absolute sway in his
own bailiwiek for 20 years, had no
doubt that he could deliver enough
votes to elect Herrick, and as a re-
ward he expected to be proclaimed
boss of Ohio"
Throughout the campaign Cox and
bossism had been the leading and in
fact the only issues. Senator Dick,
believing that Cox would make good,
and in the hope of saving his own
seat, undertook to convince the Re-
publicans that the campaign was be-
ing fought on the tariff issue-a very
far-fetched effort-but in that cam
paign the Democrats made the issue
and chose the battleground-and that
battle-ground was in Cincinnati. Her.
rick was being condemned as Cox
man. but the Democrats were further
aided by the church element. which,
while not primarily opposing Herrick,
, was Loyalty supporting Pattison, be-
cause of his more favorable position
on the liquor question.
| Toward the close of the campaign
when the situation seemed grave, Sem
| ator Dick appealed to the president to
allow some member of his cabinet to
go to Ohio to help the Republicans

A BRIEF COUNTY CONVENTION

This committee not having appeared
the chair appointed a committee to
ascertain whether the committee was
ready to report. In a few moments
the chairman of the committee ap-

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS

Does YOUR back ache? Do you get
UP lame in the morning? Do you feel
dull and tired? Does it hurt you to
bend over, to lift anything, to get up
from a chair?. Do you have sudden
catches. or stitches of pain in the
back? Does a dull throbbing ache
settle in the small of your back and
bother you day and night? Do you
sometimes feel that you simply can,
not straighten up?
If you do have backache, be careful
not to make the very common mistake
Of treating it as muscular trouble.
Do not RIB the sore place with lini-
ment, nor put on plasters, for the seat
of the trouble is inside--in the kid
neys. which lie just beneath the small
of the back, on either side of the
spine
A cold, chill, fever. overwork,
overeating or overdrnking may start
slight congestion or Inflammation
in the kidnevs that will at once inter-
rupt the kidneys work of flltering the
blood. 1t is this condition that sets
up the aching. and makes your back
so bad.
You cannot make any mistake by
treating the kidneys at onse. for it is
