PROGRESS IS
VERY SLOW
Hartje Case Drags Along
Without Many Sensa-
tons. 7@ '.f.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 27.-Slow pro-
gress Is being made in taking evil
dence for the prosecution in the trial
of Augustus Hartje, the millionaire
paper manufacturer John L.. Welsh
ons, his friend, and Clifford Hooe, a
negro coachman. on charges of con-
spiracy and subornation OF perjury,
growing out of Hartje's suit for di-
vorce. Contrary to expectations, Mrs.
Mary Scott Hartje, defendant In the
divorce suit, did not testify yester-
day and last night attorneys refused
to say whether she will be called at
any time.
Yesterday was almost entirely de-
voted to testimony of detectives, who,
about the time the divorce suit was
begun. shadowed the coachman on
various trips, the last of which cul-
minated In the arrest of Hooe and his
statement assailing the character of
Mrs .Hartje, on which the present
case is based
The most important testimony was
submitted by John p NGeyer. a for
mer private detective, his evidence
bearing on certain statements which
John l.. Welshons had made to him
at various times.
The witness was granted permis-
sion TO read from notebook to re-
fresh his memory. and gave the dates
of certain statements which Welshons
made to the witness. These. In brief
were that Mrs. Hartje's family would
pay 100000 to get hold of certain in
formation which Welshons knew.
that an effort was being made to
connect Mrs. Hartje's name with sew
en- different men, and that Welshons
did not intend to be made soape-
goat OF because OF the Hooe incident.

A GOOD TICKET
AND CAPABLE LEADERS

Mayor Tom l.. johnson, of Cleve-
land, has made the accusation against
Chairman CARRIER, of the Democratic
state central committee, that he is a
traitor to the party in that he has
connived with Chairman Brown OF
the Republican committee and is to
engineer the nomination Of weak
candidates on the Democratic ticket
In order to insure a Republican vic
tory next fall. True Democrat that
he is, Mayor Johnson has taken up
the fight against CARRIER and has an
nounced his intention Of carrying on
a vigorous fight all over Ohio In his
efforts to put him to rout and save
the party the humiliation of weak
men and defeat in the end.
For some time there have been
mutterings of dissatisfaction in the
ranks Of the party against the Garb-
er regime. His leadership in the
committee has not been all that could
be asked and threatenings of revolt
have been heard, but never before
have such serious charges been made.
1t may be that never before has the
man with sufficient backbone to
make such charge been conversant
with the situation But, be that as
1t may, the accusation has been made
and the challenge has been issued, in
deed the fight is on and the time for
action has come. Mr.. CARRIER mus.
clear his skirts of the charge, or be
thrown down and out.
The accusation made by Mayor
johnson is no laughing matter. It
Is serious business. There is little
use in we who are fighting for a rec
ognition of Democratic principles,
working for a vindication of those
principles while the leader of our
state committee Is conniving with the
Republicans for the nomination of
weak men on our ticket. This is
the year above all years that we wan.
GOOD men. There never was n
cleaner and more capable leader than
William Jennings Bryan. The DEM
ocrats OF the nation will nominate
him at Denver and the Democrats of
Ohio should follow the lead, and
Velect clean, capable men ON the state
ticket, the Democrats of this circuit
sourt district have already performed
that duty. The Democrats of this
and all other congressional districts
must select capable and clean men for |
congress. The Democrats of this
md all other counti$ must name
candidates of the rigl1 stripe. Then.
With ticket in which mo flaw can be |
pscked, we can go b lore the voters,
confident of their SUP ort and assured
= victory. Victory in the air and !
ne party must not be handicapped |

BETTER WORK CLOSER HOME

The Auditor of State of Ohio
maintains and operates bureau of
special examiners, whose duty 1t is
to visit the counties of the state,
at the counties expense, to ferret
out irregularities in the various
offices and besmirch mems names
casting reflection and suspicion
upon them, because of differences
OF opinion as to the Interpretation
of laws governing the collection and
payment of fees. These examiners
work right heartily at their task
and 1t is with regret that we say
that they succeed right well in
casting suspicion upon honest men.
This bureau has been maintained
for some years and scarcely coun-
ty in the state has escaped having
had some Irregularities discovered.
During all of this time, under the
same roof with the bureau head
quarters there have been practiced
things which would put to shame
the most shady transaction which
has been made in any county in
the state. The Ohio senate. by spe-
cial committee, Is just now engag
ed in an investigation of the Office
of the treasurer of state. This COM
mittee did not apply to Mr.. Full
ington or any of his so-called ex-
| perts to do the expert accountant
work for them, but they employed
a real live expert and put him to
work. His first days work disclosed
that there has been no system what
ever in managing at least one very
important part of Mr.. McKinnon's
work, the recording of the certifi.
Gates of deposit of banks which
have borrowed state funds. Accord.
ing to Mr.. McKinnon's own state
ment, no record of these certificates
have been kept. They have just been
brought into the treasurer's Office
and turned over to Mr.. Green, who
dumped them in a safe. Credits for
payments of interest at the rate of
two and one-half per cent were
credited on the back of these GER
tificates and nowhere else. Rather
a haphazard way Of keeping ac-
count of the money of the state.
The investigators have also dis
covered that although the banks Of
fered, last fall, to pay more than
two and one-half per cent. Mr.. Nc
Kinnon refused to accept the ad-
ditional. Whether or not he profited
personally by this refusal has not
been shown.
In view of the developments which
have already been made by the
treasury investigating committee 1t
would seem that Mr.. Fullington
could use some of his experts to
better advantage by keeping them
closer to home and investigating
some of the state offices.
II Mr.. McKinnon's methods of
keeping books is a sample of the
public accounting which the bureau
is seeking to thrust upon the peo-
Pile of Ohio, we want none of 1t In
Marion county. We have system
which beats 1t all hollow.

What Others Say.
MORD PROOF OF PREJUDICE.

AS an example of the malignant
and vindicative political prejudice
against which Democratic members
of the legislature have to contend
can be cited the manner in which
Representative Wertz of Wayne
county, leader of the Democratic
minority in the house, has been
made the target of vicious criticism
throughout the struggle in the
house over the Bronson primary
elections bill.
MIR. Wertz has been openly ac-
cused of Interior motives in his eff
forts to get the Bronson bill amend
ed into something like a fair meas
ure. Local Republican papers, which
do all they can to encourage the
exhibition OF party bias In the leg
islature. went so far as to charge
that Mr.. Wertz was trying to have
the bill so worded as to promote
his candidacy for congress.
This is about the lowest and
most contemplate misrepresentation
yet visited upon any Democratic
member of the legislature. The
absurdity of such malicious mis-
representation is evident when one
stops to think that the Republicans
with a majority in the house. have
enough votes to defeat any amend
ment that would be solely in the
interest of one Democratic member
and to defeat q bill that would
contain any such provisions.
There is, however, another proof
Two years ago Mr. Wertz was a
candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for congress in his district.
Mr.. Ashbrook of Licking county,
also a member OF the house at the
time. secured the nomination and
election. Instead of Mr.. Wertz try
irIg to shape the bill in his own sell
fish interest, at the very time that
he was fighting last Thursday to
make reasonable measure out OF
the Bronson bill. the Democratic
committee of his own, county met
to fix time for the Wayne county
Democratic primaries and unani-
mously indorsed the denomination
of Congressman Ashbrook for a
second term.
Before another congressional
term will roll round there will be
another session of the legislature,
which shows that Mr. Wertz not
only is not trying to make a pri-
mary bill to suit a selfish design
but that he couldn't do anything of
that sort II he tried.
The malignant Misrepresentation
of the Democratic leader in the
house, who is expected to lead his
side in such fight, are of the same
kind that have been circulated
against the whole Democratic minor
ity because of the vote against the
Bronson bill last Thursday by 26
Democrats and 5 Republicans. To
fortify the Republican machiue
which is guilty of putting the
Republican voters of Ohio through
such farclal primary election as
that held February II. 1t is intended
not only to aid the Cox-Taft- Brown
machines to carry on its war of ex-
termination against Senators Fora
ker and Dick but it will give that
machine control over the Democratic
party in Ohio so long as Ohio has
servant OF the Cox-Taft-Brown trl-
umvirate in the Office of secretary OF
state.
This explains why Tai Republl-
can newspaper is so FILLING to
vilify the Democratio/minority and
its leader for oppQhng the Bron.
