THAT CLAIMING MACHINE

Congressman Mouser has given
out an interview in which he dis
cusses the political situation in the
Thirteenth district. He predicts the
result to a nicety He, or course,
claims he will be reelected but
people who are acquainted with Mr..
Mouscr and lis methods OF campaign
ing will take such statements with a
grain OF salt Mr. NIorlsr has always
h1d very good claiming machine and
1t must be remembered that when a
Republican begins to get little bit
shaliy, he begins to start his claim
ing, This is particularly true This
year. 1T will be remembered that
Mr.. Taft started in by claiming some
of the southern states and is content
now TO admit that some of the north
ern states are in The doubtful col-
umln.
One of the most notable things
about Mousers Interview Is the fact
that he says Governor Harris will
carry tle district by 1000, but he
gives no figures on Taft, the man
for whom he expressed it as the
height of his ambition to so to Chi
cago as delegate. Mr.. Aloussr must
tlaYe discovered something up the
district which was not entirely to his
liking on Ohat score and he deter
mined to keep quiet. The probabil-
ity II that Mr.. Mouser has started in
~ia' his figures little too high
Surely he does not expect Governor
Harris TO carry the district by any
more than 1000 aud If il has been
any more he would surely have said
so. SIie will want to give ont an
other prediction in a short time and
We will not have tile audacity to make
his figures any larger.
MIR. Mouser has canght the Repnbli-
can cue. II Is TO enGeavor to cover
up the national Issues with state Is
sues. The Truth Of tie matter is that
Governor Harris will come nearer 60
losing the district by 1900 votes than
he will to carrying 1t by that figure.

Recent developments In the steel
industry tlpd sufficient verlflcation
In the remarks OF Ebert II. Gary,
head OF the steel trust in this
country, at dinner given in his
homer In London by foreign steel
manufacturers.
The steel trust having acquired
almost complete control OF the iron
and steel industry III this country,
Mr.. Gary is at work to "bring to-
gether the steel operators OF the
world, according to the dispatch
from London. This means an inter-
national steel trust, the next develop
ment after national monopoly.
Explaining the system of the
United States steel trust Mr., Gary
said there was no agreement to con-
trcl prices, restrict output or divide
territory but "the companies kept
one another fully informed, each
recognizing the rights and interests
OF all the others" by this method,
whiah Mr. Gary calls ''co-operation,
prices were maintained and the plan
proved successful. For similar
reasons Mr.. Gary urges that ''the
manufacturers of iron and steel in
all countries should be WORKING
ToGBrHERr with ami for one
another"
In the course CT this advice Mr..
Gary paused to praise President
Roosevelt who, he said, "has been
sometimes misunderstood cif not mis-
represented Then Mr. Gary added :
Gle is not an enemy OF capital or OF
business prosperity." ar5

enemy of 'imalefactors of great

JOHNSON LOYAL TO alAR,loN.

More disappointment for the al
ready overflowing cup of bitterness
at republican state headquarters, was
furnished by Mayor Johnson OF
Cleveland in his speech Wednesday
night at the opening OF the Cuya-
hoga county democratic campaign.
After expressing hearty approval
of the state democratic platform,
which he said represents progressive
democracy, Mayor Johnson declared
his allegiance to the democratic state
ticket in his plain, straightforward
language: "Judson Harmon was not
my choice for governor but, as
have already said, my fights are
made before and not after conven-
ticns. hudson Harmon stands on the
platform and L shah support him
most heartily. Cuyahoga county In
recent years has mad the banner
majorities of the state, and on the
third day OF next November ] want
this old county to still be the banner

the letter which President Roosevelt
wrote for MIR. Taft might be very
valuable were Mr.. Taft not alive and
able to speak for himself, but he
holds that so long as Taft is in tie
land of the living he is able to speak
for himself and that this he should
do.
1t is indeed very questionable
w'ether on not the letter of Mr.
Roosevelt will have The effect Which
is desired. The peopse OF the eohn-'
try afe becoming tired of this thing
Of Taft playing, the milk sop, by de-
pending upon President Roosevelt,
to get him out of every hole into which
he gets himselfs President Roosevelt
forced Gis nomination. by the Republn
can, convention at Chicago and now
he proposes to try to force his elec-
ton by the people. II was clearly
demonstrated at the Chicago con-
vention that Taft was not the choice
of the masses of the people, they
were not for him, but his nomination
was crlmmed down their throats and
the could say nothing. The con-
stantly growing Bryan sentiment
demon liated that Taft IS not the
choice of the people, for president,
but President Roosevelt, disregarding
all precedents, has set his head to
try to force 'his election just as he
did his pomination. How well he
shall succeed will be shown on eiec7
tion day ~ te1oa'
Ttc manner IN which Taft raised
/. his bristles and showed some fight
just as ,oon as President Roosevelt
made public that, letter was indeed
amusing. For weeks Mr.. Bryan has
had him in hole and has been
pouring hot shot after hot shot upon
him and the only thing that Taft has
been able to do was TO stand and
take 1t, making only feeble efforts at
defense. But just as soon as Presi-
dent Roosevelt came out in his let
ter and told what good man he was,
Taft begin to say something which
sounds more like fight than anything
he has said since the campaign op-
ened. His attitude. reminds one very
much OF the small boy who gets
thrasi ed by one of his playmates ana
takes it withoutfJ az muImur, but just
as soon as his father appears on the
scene he gets behind him and tells
the other fellow what he is going 10
do to him,
1t is indeed surprising how 1t
came that President Roosevelt formed
such liking for NIr. Taft, unless
it be explained upon the theory OF
opposites. RooseteisSis noted for his
fearlessness, Wills Taft is surely
t',e opposite, he refuses to fight un-
less someone will stand up ana fight
with him. MIR. Taft is very rapidly
approaching that class of citizens
which was originated by President
Roosevelt known as "nlilksops."
