THE ONLY WAY cmfw nj cmtwml
How can Democrat permit him
self TO be deceived by the goverE
nor's campaign of false pretense' lh
which Governor Harris Is not nearly
so much concerned about County
local option as he Is about perpe-
tuating the Cox-Brown and Guilpert
machine through the election oI
deputies of McKinnon and Guiibert
Browns henchman for Attorney
General shauck and Kirtley for
third terms, and other pets of the
bosses on the governors ticket whom
the Governor endorsed without ex-
ception, but who have not dared to
go on the stump in their own be-
half?
After the numerous scandals ef
state institutions, some of which
have resulted in indictments by
grand juries and all OF which the
governor has tried to suppress as
he tried to shield McIiinnon and
Guilbert from investigation Dy legel-
lly created committees of the 1egfs-
lature how can any citizen of
Ohio who believes tnat there ought
, to be thorough house cleaning at
the state house and ct state insti-
tutions to put an end to such scan
dals, vote to keep in Office the gob-
ernor whose administration has been
so prolific of scandals. instead OF
for candidate who says lie will
enforce all the laws, II elected COVER
nor, as Judson Harmon has repeat
edly pledged himself to do?
County local option is an estab-
lished fact. 1t is an ect OF the legis
lature and the people In the ccun-
ties can settle It for themselves
regardless of whether they are Dem
ocrats or Republicans.
The great question to be deter
mined in Ohio by this election is,
whether graft and scandal shall con-
tinue to flourish or whether there
shall be change at the state house
as advised by a score OF Republican
papers In Ohio? Thet change can
be accomplished only by the election
OF Judson Harmon for governor, and
the candidates for other state Offices
on the ticket with him.

promised that as soon as possible,
after his election, he will call an,

up the subject of tariff revision. Is
II at all reasonable that manufac
turers who have been enjoying the
benefits of the high protective teriT
