Mr.. Sherman's Measure.

Democrats may we'll feel proud
in having John w. Kern, OF
Indiana, upon their ticket. Should
aught of misfortunate betide Presi.
dent Bryan, this Nation would
have an executive qualified in every
respect to fill the vacancy. But
every, intelligent Republican silent
ly confesses the obnoxious handi-
cap Of Mr.. Sherman. His whole
career has been associated with
legislative schemes that loved
the dark, where distribution ia
made in silence. Though he has
long been in Congress, not one
solitary achievement of his in law
or committee work has redounded
to the honor of his country, or to
the benefit of the people.
Now with an efrontery out
brazening brass he sneers with a
cheap effort at satire upon the
slogan of, "Shall the people rule2"
He knows that it strikes him as
one target, for he is the plant
tool of Cannon in gagging all
effort to reduce the outrageous ex-
actions of the privileged few. No
degenerate yassal of plundering
baron could more glory in his
shame and feel content over his
own allotment Of the booty, His

he should be a broad mar, a man
that can represent all the people,
in the lines of industry. Such a
man is John F.. Canty, the Demo-
cratic nominee for Representative
Of Hooking County. He was rails
ed on a farm, early went into the
lumber business that has taken
him over the farms and timber
lands of almost every township in
this county. OF late years he has
been superintendent of the Snider
Lumber Co., in Logan, and his
ability Is best known in this line,
by those in whose contact he is
thrown. Mr.. Canty Is thorough
business man and is we'll versed in
the cooperation of manufacturer
and laborer.
The thorough business qualifi
cations of Mr.. Canty were most
strikingIy manifested in his hand

Snider, deceased. When he took
upon himself this great RESPONSE
bility, there were contracts made
and unfinished within the borders
of several states, and Mr.. Canty
took hold of this gigantic work
without falter. Instead of cancel.
ing all contracts and selling off
everything, and thus throwing out
of employment thousands of men,
and working hardship to hundreds
of contractors, he virtually stepped
into the shoes of j. j. Snider, the
lumber king, and went on with
the work. AS he would, step by
step, carry out the contracts made,
he would report to the court, un-
til the vast undertaking was grad

of all. The court, from the bench,

Charley Made a Million.

Chicago, Oct. IA special
dispatch to the Chicago News
from Paris states that officials of
the Old Panama Canal Co. declare
that Chas. p. Taft, of Cincinnati,
was one of the representatives of
the American syndicate that pur.
chased the stock and bonds of the
old Panama Co. and then sold
them to the United States.
The charges that led to this in
vestigation by the Chicago News
Paris bureau was that when it be-
came certain the United States
would appropriate $40, 1000, 900 for
the purchase of the old canai COM
pany's rights, and American
syndicate hurried a representative
to Paris and brought up the old
company for $3,5OO, 900.
This syndicate is there said to
have sold its holdings to the Uni
ted States for $40, 900, 900, netting
profit Of $40, 500, 900.
The Chicago News Paris bureau
says that agents Of one of the
Paris banks that was instrumental
in closing the deal for the sale of
the canal played by the American
syndicate should be regared as to
their discredit.
The News bureau continues
that, from officials of the Canal
Co. who came in contact with the
syndicate representatives, it is
learned that these men were
Charles p. Taft, of Cincinnati;
William Nelson Cromwell, of the
New York firm of Sullivan &
Cromwell, and the j. p. Morgan
Co., although this firm kept very
much IN the background.
M. Huntin, engineer of the old
company, is quoted as stating that
the $40, 900, 600 paid by the Uni
ed States for the old canal was
but that this sum never
reached the stockholders of the
old canal company.

other response than to adopt the
parroty one of citing defeats of
candidates espousing popular rule.
Both he and his odious sponsor
were defeated for the Fifty. second
Congress- and yet does that fact
destroy the truth that Cannon
and he today prevent Congress
from needing what would be a
majority vote were free action
allowed2 No more deplorable dis
grace could rest upon this Re-
public than the installation Of
Sherman as it's vice president.

Is THERE a christian man In
Hooking county that will vote for
a dis believer of the bible. w. III.
Taft is a Unitarian, and does not
believe in the Divinity of Christ.
We do not question mans right
to believe as he pleases, but We do
not want To see such a man as ex.
ecutive head of christian nation.

will appear in our next issue, and
Is fitting tribute to our Savior,
Jesus Christ, and comes from a
christian heart, we'll formed 10 sit
at the head of u christian nation.
When asked If he believed In
Christ, Judge Taft said, "My re-
ligious belief Is mine, and do not
question the right of others to be-
lisve as they will." Neither does
a christian country question Mr.
Tsft's right to believe as he
plsasss, but do We want such a

Mr.. TAFT said in speech at st.
Louis, 81 have done more for I'm
ion labor than Mr.. Gompers."
AS he was in Missouri when he
said it Union labor can say to him
in reply, "Show Me-"
Mr.. Taft surely must have been
,llsquoted. In all probability he
SAID, or meant to say, that he had
done more TO Union Labor than
Mr.. Gompers or anybody else, and
he could prove it by his injunc-
tions; just as he is now trying to
prove that his injunctions were is
sued in behalf of labor. Neither
labor nor the corporations inter
ested looked upon Mr.. Taft's in
functions at the time as doing any
thing FOR labor. Everybody un-
derstood what Taft was trying to
do TO labor.

Gompers yet. His contempt case
has been put off until after cleo
tion. Will you stand by Taft or

The Passing of Joe Cannon.

President Roosevelt in 1891,
said of Cannon: "We cannot
escape from the fact that 1T was
no credit TO Republican party of
the house that Cannon, of Illinois,
should be one of the leaders, -
Cannon then was temporarily out
of Office, the only time he has. been
out of office in thlrty-five years.
Among all the prominent Repnbli-
cans there is none upon whom the
country looks with so much hesi-
fancy and doubt. His face ls al
ways set against any measure for
the good of the people, his power
is invariably exerted for those
measures that are demanded
by the great interests. Whether
as a result OF this attitude or not,
the. fact remains. that after thirty
five years of officeholding, with
only moderate salary most of the
time, "Uncle Joe has grown rich,
his wealth increasing as his power
increases. He is emphatically an
issue in this campaign-not mere
ly an issue between the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties, but
between the decent and patriotic
element and the corrupt element
which he has so long dominated.

Jesse Gabriel was raised in

paper Of that county once said
that they believe the only fault he
has in the world is that he is a

very bad fault. We believe the
people Of Hooking county, regard
less OF party aililiation, will stay
with Jesse Gabriel, because he
stands for morality, because he ia
good husband and father, be-
cause he loves his family and is
devoted to his home, and encour-
ages the mp lift of every home in
the community; because he has
served one term as treasurer and
seryed it well because ho is court
eous, accommodating and pains
taking to do the right thing al-

for j. w. Gabriel is an endorse
ment of merit in office, and we be-

will not fail him.

on the conduct of the campaign in
his behalf in Cincinnati and
Hamilton County.
When the appoir tment of this
committee was first announced,
Mr. Taft refused to discuss the
matter and it was presumed that
we intended to ignore the action
of the county committee and have
nothing to do with the special
committee it appointed.
Cox, Hynicka and Hermann are
the actual heads of the machine
in Hamilton country, which Mr.
Taft so boldly denounced in a
speech at Akron three years ago
in which he said that the govern
ment under Cox's control is
constantly described as corrupt
one, and that if he were at home
to vote that year he would cast his
vote against the local ticket nomi'
mated by the Republican organiza-
tion.
1t will be remembered, however,
that the day before his notifica-
tion in Cincinnati, Mr.. Taft ad-
dressed conference of his politi-
cal aides, at which Walter Brown
and Geo. b. Cox were present,
when he graciously declared that
the past was wiped off the slate
and that he wanted them to feel
that he was engaged in "common
enterprise" with them.
And now instead of ignoring the
special conference committee con
sisting of Cox, Hynicka and Her
mann, Mr.. Taft has addressed a
letter to the Chairman of the
county committee, accepting the
action of that committee and ask
ing for a conference with the
special committee appointed. Mr..
Taft did not mention the names
of Cox, Hynicka and Hermann in
his letter, but by accepting their
services he makes the actual head
of the machine he denounced at
Akron, his chief lieutenants in the
campaign in his home city.
No doubt Mr.. Taft will be at
home to vote this year. The peo.
pie of Ohio will watch with inter-
est to see whether or not Mr.. Taft
will openly declare between now
and election day, whether he will
vote for or against the ticket
nominated by the Republican
organization which as he said
in Akron is "founded on the
cohesive power of patronage, a
power so cohesive that it now
includes Republican candidate
for president.

How QUIET the Republican pa.
pers are about Roosevelt's panic.
You remember how they used to
put headlines in the biggest type
they had to announce "Anothel
Bank Gone Democratic" when
Cleveland was president.
Not one Of them has been able
to publish dozen lines from Dun's
report issued Oct. 1, showing that
during the nine months of 1908 up
to Sept. 30 there were 1,946 fail
ures aggregating $179,677, 523 of
defaulred Indebtedness (net loss
as compared with 5000 failures
for SIG, 0S6,34S defaulted indebt-
edness for the same period of 1907.
This is an increase of 1856 in the
number of failures and an increase
of 1858, GAL, IT'S on the losses. How
is that for g. o. p. prosperity9
At the Democratic campaign
opening in Mansfield one of the
banners carried in the parade
read "You Can't Blame this Panic
On Grover"
No, indeed, the Republican pa
pers can't point out these IL, ,946
failures as 30 many concerns that
have "gone Democratic" Can't
blame 'em on Grover and the
Democratic party.
Who did knock the bottom out
of the full "dinner pail' with
this panic9 Roosevelt has had the
'blg stick in his own hands for
seven years, and wants to hand it
over to Taft to complete the ruin
and hand it back to him in 1916.
His own son-in law, Prince Nicho-
las, says so.
The best way to put an end to
the Roosevelt panic is to put an
end to the Roosevelt dynasty, Taft,
"big stick" Prince Nicholas and
all, by voting for Bryan and Kern
in November.
While you're doing it, vote for
Harmon and the candidates on his
ticket to clean out the state house.
1t is time for change in the
state as we'll as in the nation.
