YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio September s.
Aside from formally defirfing issues. both
national and state, the opening of the re-
publican campaign in Ohio here today ac-
.cording TO republican critics developed
an important fact. namely, that Gov.
Charles E. Hughes of New York will be
in great demand outside of his own state
during the national campaign.
The governor, following mastery eff
fort by Senator Beveridge, not only held
the attention of a crowd of thousands
who had been listening to other speeches
for hours, but moved them to vigorous
outbursts of appreciation. and was fairly
mobbed when he finished by hundreds
who pressed forward to shake his hand.
His satirical comments on William j.
Bryans ideas of regulating trusts called
forth shouts of laughter Revision of the
tariff and continuance of the policies
ty-wide local OPTION, were the keynotes
sounded.
Sena tor Beveridge of Indiana and Gov
Hughes delivered impressive speeches
dealing with national ISSUES. Gov. An
drew l.. Harris, renominated by his
party. devoted himself to questions of
import to the state, of which he is the
chief executive.
Temperance Issue Raised.
text of his address to comment on the
announcement of Judge Harmon, the dem
ocratic gubernatorial nominee, that he
owed no favors to the liquor interests.
The governor, in ringing tones, elected
applause by declaring that no liquor as
ISOLATION had Endorsed his candidacy.
The speaker declared that the issue was
a temperance issue, not one OF prohibit
ton. He said that although the demo-
Gratis said it did not exist, it was live
issue with some people.
He insisted on high taxation for the sa-
looms and local option for the people.
That means, he asserted, taxation as
called for in the 9iken law. and county
wide local option, as well as local option
in smaller political units.
Both Hughes and Beverage dealt kind
ly with Bryan in his personal capacity,
but insisted that he was dreamer OF
dreams, a preacher and not an execu-
tive. Glowing tributes were paid TO PreSl
dent Roosevelt.
Senator Beveridge drew a similitude be-
tween the President and the captain of a
ship. saying. amid cheers, that when the
master stepped from the bridge the pas
sengerS could do no better than turn the
command of the craft over to the chief
officer.
Both speakers insisted on a revision of
the tariff from protective to maximum
and minimum basis in line with the policy
nue. only, the Indiana statesman declared,
was obsolete. and the purely protective
tariff out of date. Under maximum and
minimum tariff, he said, Germany had
forged ahead to the front rank IN the
volume and value of her foreign trade.
Vorys Picks on Bryan.
Arthur 1. Vorys, republican campaign
manager for Ohio, was chairman of the
meeting which was held among the tall
oaks of Wick Park. In introducing Gov.
Harris Vorys said:
again our chief opponent is the demo-
cratic party. Again. ignoring and re-
pudiating responsibility for the accom-
plished and anticipating no responsibility
for the reforms to come. through the same
undaunted, oft-defeated, but never de-
spondent leader, as amiable and inventive
as ever, if not so brilliant and courageous,
the democratic party proposes its quick
acting automatic. self-executing, short
cut-cross-lots, allurHg schemes to in
stantly eradicate all evils and at once
bring about the desirable altruistic state
where all are required to be and. there
fore, will be honest and square, free from
evil abuse or oppression and therefore
happy and contented in a Utopian equal
ity Of guaranteed prosperity.
again they build their democratic
tower on their democratic plain of Shinar
and again there will be the democratic
confusion of tongues after a democratic
defeat.
Hughes Double Meets Him.
The day was perfect one for an out
door demonstration. Gov. Hughes was
the first arrival.
He was somewhat startled to see while
at breakfast what looked like his own
image approaching. The apparition-whisk-
ers. hair, jaw, mouth, frock coat and
all on the Hughes lines-turned out to be
r. E. Hughes Of Beaver. Pa. Hearing of
his remarkable resemblance to the New
York governor, the Beaver man made the
trip to Youngstown to compare notes.
Gov. Harris and Senator BeVeridge did
not reach the city until the streets were
swarming with the thousands of steel
workers clad in white uniforms and
marching clubs were ready to begin the
parade through the downtown streets TO
the park They had been delayed outside
of Cleveland by an accident to one of the
brakes of the train on which they were
travelling. 5
The city was ornately dressed for the
occasion. Every possible preparation was
made for the entertainment of the visitors
under the general supervision of j. G.
Senator Boz eridge and Gov. Hughes left
the city Immediately after the exercises.
