election OF senators. The smaller
parties are unable to secure this re-
form; the republican party, under Its
present leadership, Is resolutely OPP
posed to 1t; the democratic party
stands for 1t and has boldly demanded
It. II ! am elected to the presidency,
those who are elected upon the ticket
with me will be, like myself, pledged
to this reform, and / shall convene
congress In extraordinary session I'M
mediately after Inauguration, and ask,
among other things, for the fulfill
ment OF this platform pledge.
House Rules Despotic.
The third fundamentally employed
to defeat the will of the people Is
found in the rules of the house of
representatives. Our platform points
out that "the house of representatives
was designed by the fathers OF the
constitution, to be the popular branch
OF our government, responsive to the
public WILL" and adds:
THE house of representatives. as
cOnITOllpu III lGOtiil yNdio W .''S -
publican party, has ceased to be a de-
Lucrative and legislative body, res
ponsive to the will of a majority OF
the members but has come under the
absolute dominion of the speaker, who
has entire control of Its deliberations,
and powers of legislation.
I'VE have observed with amazement
the popular branch of our federal
government helpless to obtain either
the consideration or enactment OF
measures desired by a majority of its
members.
This arraignment is fully justified.
The reform republicans In the house
of representatives, when in the min
ority in their own party, are as help
less to obtain hearing or to secure a
vote upon a measure as are the dem
ocrats. In the recent session of the
present congress. there was "a consid-
cradle element in the republican par
ty favorable to remedial legislation;
but a few leaders, In control of the
organization despotically suppressed
these members. and thus forced a real

lican national convention. instead OF
rebuking this attack upon popular
government, eulogized congress and
nominated as the republican candi-
date for vice president one of the
men who shared in the responsibility
for the coercion of the house. Our
party demands that "the house OF
representatives shall again become
deliberative body, controlled by ma
jority Of the peoples representatives,
and not by the speaker" and IL

ulations to govern the house Of repre-
sentatives as will enable majority
of its members to direct Its delibera.
lions and control legislation"
Shall the people rule?" They can
not do so unless they can control the
house of representatives, and through
their representatives In the house,
give expression to their purposes and
their desires. The republican party
is committed to the methods now In
vogue In the house Of representa-
tives; the democratic party is pledged
to such revision of the rules as will
bring the popular branch of the fed
eral government into harmony with
the ideas OF those who framed our
constitution and founded our govern
ment.
Other Issues VIII be Discussed Later.

Ready for a Contest.

Concerning the threatened contest
OF the election by Democratic candi-
dates who have been defeated in the
recent election, Attorney General
Bingham, reelected, declares that
the Republicans are ready TO meet
any kind of an issue that may arise
Mr. Bingham states that reports of
Irregularities come from everywhere.
The statement made by Democratic
Chairman Jackson that contest
would be Instituted brought some re.
marks from Mr. Bingham about the
state chairman.
eff Mr.. Jackson thinks il is well
to go into contest OF an election
that has been dominated by the
brewers, we can certainly afford to
meet the issues We have received
reports OF crookedness from every
where In one place thirty men voted
from one house, and not one of those
men can be found now. Money was
also freely used In my opinion Mr.
Jackson didn't have anything to do
with this campaign; il was dorninat-
ed by the brewers, and that he is no,
advised what his brewer friends have
been doing"

OHIO CASTS BIG VOTE.
Scratching on 0overnorship Causes
Slow Returns of Ballots in
Buckeye State

AT Tuesdays election Ohio polled
vote that surpasses the 100000 bal
lots deposited four years ago, making
a new high record for Ohio voters.
Enough was known early Tuesday
night TO make evident that the Repub-
hcans had given heavy vote for Taft
and that Harmon( DEM had won GU,
for Governor, but exact figures were
slow in coming in.
The immense ballot, which had COM
PEELED the making of special boxes
and some increases in the booths, was
in part responsible for this slowness,
but the large number OF Taft Hartman
votes cast caused much of the diff
Guilty Taft carried Ohio by probab-
ly over 10000, while Harmon won by
about 10000, difference of 10000
votes between the highest winning
Republican and the highest winning
Democrat And yet such figures as
have teen received on minor candi-
dates, although meager, indicate the
probable victory of all other Repub.
leans on the state ticket. The Re-
also are believed to have
carried the Legislature, but there also
exact figures are lacking.
