In an effort to stem the tide of
votes that is drifting from the
Democratic party to Governor
Harris because of his stand for
the Rose county local option law,
the Democratic cOmmitteeis send
ing out to the partisan press a
garbled statement attributed to
the Governor. Heis charged with
saying, in his speech here last
Friday afternoon, that he would
sign a repeal of the Rose law as
freely as he signed the law itself.
The utmost advantage is being
taken of this alleged statement
by the Democratic managers.
In answer to it, Governor Har-
rls has dictated the folio wing:
Whether this is a mistake or
a deliberate misapprehension, |
desire to correct it. Instead OF
saying that I would sign a bill re-
pealing the Rose law as freely as
l signed the Rose law, l said at
Greenville, just as | have said at
other places, that would veto a
bill repeating the Rose law"

After CIeVeland's Administrator
Show Benefits of Republican
Rule to the Nation.
In 1902, the last year Of Mr.. Harri-
sons term, the total exports from the
United States were one thousand and
thirty million, with balance of trade
in favor Of the United States Of two
hundred and two million.
The first year of Mr.. Cleveland's
term, exports dropped to eight hun
dred and forty-seven million, with a
balance of trade against the United
States Of nineteen million.
At no time during Mr.. Cleveland's
four years of office did the exports
from this country equal one thousand
million. but the first year after he left
Office, in 1897, the total exports again
were above the billion-dollar mark,
with balance Of trade in favor Of
the United States of two hundred and
eighty-six million.
In 1907 the total exports and i'm
ports were almost exactly twice the
total Of the average exports and i'm
ports for each of the four years of
Mr.. Cleveland's term-three thousand
three hundred and tifty-seven million,
with a balance of trade in favor Of the
United States of four hundred and
forty-six million.
Yet Mr.. Bryan tells US the people
want a change.

JUDGE HARMON, PLEASE
ANSWER.

Where do you stand on the
question Of repeating the Rose
county option law? Your back
: ers are asking hedges from all
their other friends that the law
will be taken f:cNa the statute
! books.
Are you in favor of payment
of franchise and excise taxes
cue the state by railway compa-
nies operating in Ohio? If elect
ed governor, ycu would be called
] upon to pass upon claims by the
state of $4,000 against two
J companies of which you are
president. Would you pay these
taxes?
Is your 1908 opinion Of Will
] liam Jennings Bryan and his pol
icies the opinion you held and
expressed of him and Of them in
1895, in 1900 and when you we're
a m2mber Of Mr., Cleveland's
cabinet?
Have you ever made formal
acceptance of the platform,
which Tom L. johnson wrote
and en- which you were nomi-
mated? If so, when? If not,
why have you not done so?

Somebody is going to be elect
ed president of the United States
next week. 1t may be said with
safety that it will not be Hisgen,
or Watson, or Debs, or the gen.
tleman in the penitentiary. The
country will survive either horn
of the remaining dilemma. Both
parties are vociferating their con-
fidence in the result. This is
customary. The other party
those who are putting up their
money on the issue-are unemo-
tional and unaffected by the hys-
terics of politics. The gamblers
in such cases are the safest prog
nosticators.

The contagion of lawlessness
known as night-riding is spread
ing throughout the country. 1t
began in Kentucky and was con-
fined to the tobacco growing re-
gion. Now it is spreading to the
cotton growing states. There is
no reason why, if unchecked, it
may not spread to the wheat,
corn and hay belts-in fact, to
every agricultural section of the
country. It is a species of that
lawlessness common in all half
civilized countries, in which clas-
sification the United States un-
doubtedly stands. 1t is moboc-
racy and whether exercised in
the agricultural regions or by
trades unions in manufacturing
cities, it has as it's basis contempt
of law and order. In short, it is
the licentiousness of liberty.

the information could, of course,
have been secured without the

Congress. Senator Aldrich, of
Rhode Island, knows something
about finance and if he remem-
bers half that he has heard in
Europe, his information has per-
haps been broadened, but if this
financial junketing committee
should return with ten times the
wisdom of Solomon, they would
not be able to present a bill that
some member from Kansas, Ok

find to be utterly preposterous
and, with a sufficient backing of
members and senators, defeat it.

system of the United States.

CANDIDATES

Records Of TAFT and Bryan
Studied For Fitness.
WHAT HAS EACH MAN DONE7

Nebraskan's Barren Career Con.
. trasted With Ohioan's Fruitful
Life, With Its Long List of Duties
Accomplished.
William Howard Taft or William
Jennings Bryan will in few days be
chosen president of the United States.
He who aspires to that exalted place
should have done much to show his fit
ness for the station he would occupy.
BY wisdom or by ability he should
have demonstrated his right to that
supreme and priceless honor. Take the
life of each man and set the two rec
ords side by side. Scrutinixe those two
lives! Measure the one by the other
and then judge within your heart-not
impuIsVeIy, not with partisan bias but
calmly, worthily and as a patriotic
citizen-which of theoe two men is the
worthier to be honored by your vote
and to be crowned with the glory of the
greatest gift in the possession Of the
citizens of this nation!
Search first the life of William Jen-
nings Bryan! 1t lies before you for
your inspection.
What has he done to demonstrate his
fitness to occupy that great post to
which he now, for the third time, as
pires?
Has he in the whole course of his life
ever done one solitary thing to benefit
the nation of which he is citizen or
to advance the civilization and en-
lehtenment of mankind?
Search your memory to it's uttermost
depths, and if you find that he has
done one single thing, either by word
or deed, that has proved of ever so lit
tie lasting benefit to the world set that
thing down to his credit.
Think! Is there one such single,
solitary thing?
Twelve years ago he advocated tho
free coinage of silver, urging it upon
the nation with all the strenuosity Of
his feversh and vehement nature.
This idea he no longer advocates.
But has he abandoned it?
A little more than year ago he ad-
vocated with equal impetuosity the gov
ernment ownership of raiIways-an
ownership that would have entaiIsd
upon tho United States a national debt
of more than five thousand million dol
lars.
This idea also he no longer advO-
Gates.
But has he abandoned it?
Twice he has advocated and twice he
has ceased to advocate a dangerous
and mistaken policy. What assurance
have you that he does not 2 third time
advocate policy equally dangerous to
the welfare Of the nation7
And if you elect him to the presi-
dency what assurance have you that
he will not attempt to put that dan
gerous policy into disastrous effect?
His ineompetency and his inadequacy
to fill any of the major opportunities
that he covets are known to all the
world.

that stand before the world today as
monuments of his wisdom and his
ability-his civil goVernorshiP Of the
Philippines and his establishment as
secretary of war of that vast govern
mental work now being done upon the
Panama canal.
Say nothing Of his brilliant dipIo-
matte successes in the Philippines, at
Rome, in Cuba, in Japan-say nothing
Of these, but dwell only on those two
monumental performances.
Conside~ how vast must be the fun
damentaI abilities of man who,
emerging a comparatively unknown
citizen from a relative obseurity, was
suddenly called upon--first, to recon-
ciIe peopIs jealous and suspicious of
the United States and to convert that
people from passive enmity to trusting
friendship; next, to build up for poor
and helpless nation a government that
should control, but should not harass,
anu AHdN SuOdl6 SCINC 90 q
for future self government and ad-
Vancement into the ranks of the free
and enlightened nations of the earth.
This was a great and momentous
task for any man, however experienced,
to undertake. It was undertaken by
circuit judge from Ohio.
Did that circuit judge make good his
undertaking?
His success stands today a monu-
ment TO his sasacity, his wisdom and
his foresight.
Louder tnan any words the success
full results of this great work speak to
the world, for not only did he succeed
in this his first great undertaking, but
he is also at this moment the man most
honored and best loved by the people
of the Philippine Islands.
His latest achievement is the estab-
lishment of the canal zone and the or
eanization of the work of the Panama
canal, for to him, as secretary Of war,
fell tho ultimate responsibility for the
execution of this vast project.
Here was an engineering feat SO tre-
mendous that even De Lesseps, pro-
elaimedly the greatest engineer Of the
world, with France and the people of
France behind him, failed to make even
an adequate beginning.
This ex-circuit judge, this ex-sov-
ernor Of tho Philippines, undertook the
work.
Today the great task moves toward
completion, with an organization per-
fected by tho man who shouIdered the
burden.

Such are the facts.

Such are the facts.
Hero lie the lives of these two men,
side by side, before you.
It is yours to judge between them,
for one or the other of the men who
have lived these lives must soon be-
como president of the United States.
One has added splendid success to
splendid success, establishing govern
ments, conducting delicate diplomatic
negotiations, erecting gigantic engi-
neering works for the lasting benefits
Of all the nations of the earth.
The other has contented himself with
lecturing before literary societies and
editing weekly newspaper.
Think of all this! Lay it calmly and
dispassionateIy before your inteli-
sence! Then ask yourself in your
heart of hearts to which of these two
men you, as a good and patriotic citi-
zen, should give your vote and thus
help to elect him president of these
United States.

II is notorious that his first nomina-
ton to the presidency came TO him not
because Of his ability in public affairs,
bot only because he happened to make
a happy phrase in an oratorieal out
burst, which swept him into a posi-
tion for which he had never before
and has never since proved his fitness.
In the intervals between his unsuc-
oessful campaigns he has sunk into
comparative obseurity. Not one act in
all that time gave any indication to
the world that he was really awake to
