Why is it Astoria does not take

Is it because she lies in the heart OF

Wherever one turns these days the

proven, beyond all doubt, that this

TAFT DETAINED GRANTS MEMORY

ing these seven years, though every
thing looked dark. he overcame in a
great measure his weakness for
strong drink. But he was so consti-
tuted that 1t seemed impossible for
him to earn livelihood even when he
had given hostages to fortune in the
shape of wife and four children"
Commenting on Taft's diatribe SEN
ator Foraker said: For obvious rea-
sons | do not care to criticise what
Secretary Taft thought it appropriate
to say at General Grants tomb be-
yond the single remark that while
General Grant may have had some
weaknesses, it is evident that Secre-
tary Taft has his weakness also.
James r. SillimaN, treasurer of the
memorial committee, G. A. r., said:
1T was an abominaDle speech for
Secretary Taft to make. am sure it
can not be otherwise than very hurt
full to him in the approaching cam
paign. 1t was, in fact, shameful to
f1aunt subject such as that on an
occasion which called for an express
sion of the noblest tributes to which
General Grant is entitled. NO good
can come to Secretary Taft from as
sailing the character of man who Is
a national hero and especially en-
deared to the hearts OF veterans"

CHANGE Is NEEDED
IN SUPREME COURT
Protests Against denomination Of Judges Shauck and Price
We're Not Needed by the Republican Bosses--The
People Will Have Chance In November.

During the Ohio Republican conven-
tion this year many Republicans Wig.
orously protested against the renom.
ination of Judges Shauck and Price Of
the state yupreme court.
But the bosses had their own way
and, knowing why they want Shauck
and Price on the supreme bench OF
Ohio, forced through the convention
the nomination Of Shauck for a third
term and the denomination Of Price,
who invariably agrees with Shauck
on decisions in favor of corporations,
as well as on the suppression of In
vestigation into the Cox government
at Cincinnati that was denounced by
Mr. Taft at Akron three years ago
and In sustaining the strangle.system
of primaries which eliminated For
aker and gave the Guilbe't t, Cox
Brown. Bieser, Burton aggregation of
bosses complete control Of the conven-
ton this year.
Since that convention a revival of
the old Standard Oil scandal In Ohio
brings into prominence again the fact
that Judge Shauck. who was chief
Justice at that time, at the mere re-
quest of attorneys for the Standard
Oil company without the formality of
filing motion, ordered Attorney Cen
eral Monnett to stop contempt pro-
ceedings tnat had been begun.
The Democrat-sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1906-1935, 1908-10-22

In the ID years Judge Shauck has
been on the supreme bench of Ohio
(now asking for six years more) the
records show that in "a reported cases
and 81 cases not reported in which
the parties were suing corporations to
recover damages for injuries, with
very few exceptions Judge Shauck
has given his decision in favor of the
corporations. Judge Prices record
during the time he has been on the
supreme bench almost exactly CT in.
cides with the record of Ju.se
Shauck
Regardless of the tact that COM
mittee of the state senate, which prob
ed Cox's government at Cincinnati
described by Taft at Akron in 1906 as
Icing very corrupt, caused $214,000 Of
graft to be turned back into the treas
ury, proceedings begun in the courts
to stop the investigation were sustain
ed by the supreme court, which put a
stop to that committees investiga-
ton.
For such reasons as these the peo-
pie Of Ohio want change In the SUI
preme court as we'll as In other state
offices, which can be accomplished by
the defeat of Shauck and Price and
the election of the Democratic candi-
dates, Judge Mather Of Sidney and
Juge Okey of Columbus.
