While the mechanism of this latest

brief description of this marvel has
been obtained from Captain Knaben-

squares that it may have the greatest
strength. The bag has capacity of

is 90 feet in length and has three
separate compartments for passeR-

gas envelope are attached two aero
planes of secret design, which serve
to propel the vessel and resist the
wind pressure. The driving power of
the machine is furnished by two deli

view of subsequent developments in
. the Democratic factional fight, this
paragraph from the last number Of
THE Observer" the Sycamore clubs
official organ, is enlightening:
Finley, CARRIER, Ross of Colum-
bus, and all the other satellites in the
Democratic combination are active in
suppressing progress within the Dem
ocratic party. 1t is scarcely
necessary to return a bill of particu-
lars here. The result of that sup.
preston is found in the political at
mOsphere Of the state-an atmosphere
muggy with plotting, intrigue and
deals, rotten with dishonesty, graft,
sham reform and open defiance of
public opinion. The Democratic can
didate represents nothing so much as
a false beacon erected to lure the un,
wary into danger. To him the plat,
form is meaningless tumble of
words that were adopted to conceal
the real purpose of his candidacy
the sitting of progress, the defeat Of
the legions of party purity, the ele-
walton to power of the '5tandpatters'
and the SOrruptionists."

EXPERIENCE NECESSARY
Public Business Should Be Entrusted
to Men Who Understand II.

TO Men Who Understand IL.
AS an abstract business proposition,
an experienced man Is to be preferred
to one without experience. The rule
holds good in every line of private
enterprise. The unframed and mex
perienced man may be honest and in
dustTious and, in his way, capable, but
the employer who wants to fill a posi-
tion of responsibility, will always give
it to the man who. having the other
qualities, has had experience.
There is no reason why the same
rule should not apply to the affairs Of
state. and there is every reason why it
should. The business Of the state OF
Ohio is as important as any business
conducted within its borders; and
trained, skilled men are needed, if it
is to be conducted In the interests Of
the people. The revenues and ex-
penses of the state run annually into
the millions. There is huge surplus
that must be kept invested so as to
best accomplish two ends: To produce
the greatest amount of revenue by
way OF interest consistent with safety,
and to distribute the fund over the
state so that the greatest number of
people can get the benefit of its use
The laws have made it the duty Of
the treasurer and auditor of state to
look after its financial affairs. Obvi-
ously the men who fill these offices
should be honest, capable and ex-
perienced.
The Republican state convention
nominated such man iR the persons of
c. C. Green and E. M. Fullington,
Both have served as deputies under
the present treasurer and auditor, and
each has proved his ability to con-
tinue the splendid records made by
Treasurer McKinnon and Auditor
Guilbert. The best evidence of the
integrity and competency Of Messrs.
Green and Fullington lies in the fact
that the Howe probing committee ap-
pointed by the senate last winter,
after a most thorough investigation,
was forced to report that the funds Of
the state had been properly account
ed for. The investigation was con-
Quoted along such absolutely unfair
lines that even the Democrats in the
general assembly became disgusted
before it ended; but in the face OF
these methods. the only report the
committee could make was, nothing
wrong"
The Republican party asks that the
financial affairs of the state shall be
conducted in future by men who know
the business from the ground up, and
whose honesty and ability have been
tested and found up to the highest
standard. The Democracy seeks to
put inexperienced and untried men in
these important positions. AS a busi-
ness proposition, Mr.. Voter, which
makes the best offer? Remember,
this is your business. 1t is your
money that must be handled by some
one,, under the direction of the gen
eral assembly Isn't 1t safer and bet
ter to employ men who know how
than those who have had no expert
ence? .

to sail through the air at a speed of
60 miles per hour in calm, while in
moderate wind this is reduced to
40 miles per hour. The propellers
and rudder are built along entirely
different lines than any heretofore
used by Captain Knabenshue, and the
! vessel as a whole has but faint re-
semblanCe to any other so-called air
ship.
The Ohio State Board of Agricul-
ture, recognizing the wide interest
now displayed in aerial navigation,
has contracted with Captain Knaban-
Shue for the appearance of this latest
scientific invention in daily flights
and exhibitions at the coming State
Fair, to be held in Columbus, Aug.
