The LOGICAL THING

Reports sent out from Columbus,
Friday, concerning the meeting OF
the State central committee, stated
that James Ross, of Franklin coun-
ty, and w. l.. Finley. OF Hardin
county. had been selected as chairman
and secretary of the executive COM
mittee OF the Democratic party and
that they would have charge OF the
coming campaign. This has been
proven TO be mistake. Reports to-
day state that the executive commit
tee has not even been selected and
that when II Is named on May 27th,
that the probability is that chair
man and secretary who are still un-

it says:
"If the act which the Attorney Gen
eral seeks to enforce be violation of
the Federal Constitution, the officer
In proceeding under such enactment,
comes into conflict with the super
Tor authority of that Constitution;
and he is in that case stripped of his
official or representative character
and is subjected in his person to the
consequences OF his Individual con-
duct" Where would Mr.. Roosevelt
stand II this principle was applied to
his conduct?

the organization of the new commit
tee win be clear outside OF the So
called GarberJFinley and johnson
factions. To the average man this
would seem the rational course to
pursue in order to wipe out any diff
ferences which may exist and cement
the party together for victory in
November.

Things Political

How sly-devilish sly Is Speaker
Cannon. He feels the public pulse
and then undertakes to have an in
|vestigalon Of the Paper Trust. Uncle
Joe expects to kiln two birds with
one stone, and also outwit the Re-
publican Newspaper publishers, who
are shouting for tariff reform. The
first bird that Uncle Joe expects will
flutter is Attorney General Bonaparte,
and II a stray shot hits the President,
so much the better. BY inference these
brethren are wholly TO
Iblame for allowing a paper trust TO
exist, for should not all bad trusts
have been prosecuted under the Sher-
man Antitrust law? That lays the
blame on the administration, and
proves TO Uncle Joe's satisfaction
that the Dingley tariff Is not respon-
slble for the paper trust. For did
not Uncle Joe's tariff factotum, the
chairman OF the Committee on Ways
and Means, shOw conclusively the
other day that the tariff on pulp and
paper was too low to account for the
increased prices of the paper trust.
IL Is pretty difficult TO beat Uncle
Joe in shooting political birds, or in
playing the game OF politics. He can,
unlike other members OF Congress, al
ways gets recognition. What other
members must beg for Uncle Joe can
always take. "Speaker Cannon, "
says the New York World, 'is the
most fortunately situated member OF
Congress. Having previously ex-
|pressed his views, he introduces his
own resolution to investigate the pa
Iper trust. IL is referred to the
Committee on Rules, of which he is
chairman. II is passed at his nod =.
He names the committee OF investiga-
.tion. They have been fully advised
as to his position on the paper trust
and tariff question. If the commit
tee should report in favor OF re-
epaling the duties on wood pulp and
print paper, next session Speaker
Cannon will still control the Com
mlttee on Rules, yyhich determines the
order OF business. Any tariff bill will
be referred to the Committee on Ways
ana Means, which is subservient TO his
will"
Meanwhile the Special COMMITTEES
OF the american Newspaper Publish
ers Association are flutterlng around
1.-THE Ways and Means Committee,
land threatening all kinds of things
II wood pulp and print paper are not
lput on the free list. Then now and
then Uncle Joe shoots of his pop
Igun In their direction just TO keep
Ithem on the wing until he can con-
Iveniently adjourn Congress, and
thus postpone even such small mat
ter of tariff reform as the publishers
lask until after election" Then
"after election" II Uncle Joe is still
in the saddle, Is long way OFF for
there Is always another election COM
ing, and IL the voters have endorsed
the Republican party. they have alsc
approved its policy OF protecting the
trusts. so why not enact a maximum
tariff. to protect them higher? It's 9
great political game played by Unclt
Joe and the Republican leaders

HARMONY REIGNS

Since the Democratic state conven-
ton there has been a great deal Of
speculation as to whether or not May
or Tom l.. Johnson would stand by
the nominees, but all of this has been
dispelled by the announcement which
comes from Columbus of the meeting
which was held by the mayor and the
nominee of the convention for gov
ernor. The two held long confer
ence in the caupitol city, Friday, and
at its close it was announced that
Judson Harmon would have the sup
port of the Cleveland mayor. This
will be music to the ears of the Demo
Gratis OF Ohio since IL will cement
the two factions, II factions they
could be called, and will make posi-
BILE the victory in November.
Mayor Tom l.. Johnson never stat
ed that he would not support the
nominees of the convention. He
stated very plainly that he would
support the men who stood squarely
upon the platform which was adopt
ed. From his remarks in the con-
vention the only question in his mind
was as TO whether or not Judson
Harmon stood upon that platform.
In the conference which was held
Friday, Judson Harmon stated that
he does stand upon the platform and
that had ne not occupied that posi-.
ton he would not have accepted the
nomination on the day of the con-
vention. This was all that Mr.. John
son desired TO know and as soon as
he learned it he was ready TO take up
the fight for Harmon.

JUDGE HARMoNIs pLArroRM.

| No better preliminary platform has
been put forward than tho views on
public questions of Judge Judson
Harmon, that have just been pub
lished by his friends who desire TO
see him receive the Democratic nom-
ination for President. The two utter
lances on the outer page of the pam
'phlet containing the public speeches
and opinion OF Judge Harmon, are
good texts for all Democrats to re-
member. They are:
Guilt is always personal. When
the Government searches out the gull
ty men and makes corporate wrong
mean personal punishment and dis
honor, the laws will be obeyed."
E1lhey say the tariff must be re-
! vised by its friends, we say II must
be revised by the friends of the peo-
pie"
The first quotation Is from the res
igpation OF Judge Harmon as special
counsel for the Government TO pros
ecute the Atchinson rebate case. The
Government directed that the proseru-
tion be directed against the individ-
uals.
The second text covers the neeu OF
selecting Democrats who are real
friends OF the people as Judge Harmon
has shown himself to be.
