HARRIS TO BANG AWAY


AT the meeting of the Cox x-Guilbert
Brown candidates with their state
committee, 1t was decided that Gov
ernor Harris should bang away on
temperance as ''the only course for
him to pursue"
Governor Harris seems willing
enough to bang away at anything
except scandals at state institutions
since he became governor, which
have been unprecedented in the
states history; scandals in the state
house and his connivance with Gull
bert and Republican leaders in the
legislature to call off an investiga-
tion that was making McKinnon,
Green and Guilbert say "none OF
your business" or refuse to answer.
No matter what Governor Harris
bangs away at, he cannot escape
his share of responsibility for these
conditions He admitted in two spe-
cial messages to the legislature that
he knew 1t was his duty to investi-
gate the state auditors office under
section 1893 OF the Revised Statutes,
but he didn't do 1t and hasn't done
II yet.
Governor Harris evidently would
like to bang away at anything ex-
cept his record The people can
bang away at that when they go 10
the ballot box in November to elect
Judscn Harmon Governor OF Ohio,
so that the laws may be enforced,
state institutions conducted on busl-
ness like methods without scandal,
and that the reform in state ad-
ministration begun by Governor John
M. Pattison may be resumed and
faithfully executed.
