FARMERS RESENT COERCION.

Chairman Mack has been informed
sentative farmers of Washington town
ship, Marion county, Ind, the follow
ing resolutions were adopted, and it
was also agreed to form an endless
chain among the farmers of the coun-
try:
Whereas, The Associaten Press has
sent out a statement issued by P. M.
Separator Co., of Westchester, Pa,
saying that the hour Bryan is elected
the Sharples works will close down,
and
Whereas, Such statements as this
will intensity the present financial
panic and will also tend to bring on,
if possible, other and great financial
calamity; therefore, be it
Resolved, That as farmers who
have the good of the country at heart,
we deeply deplore such unwarranted
statements and believing they are
made for partisan purposes to intimi-
date and influence voters, we herewith
denounce all firms making this and
similar announcements, as narrow and
bigoted, and in these times as disloyal
to the best business interests of the
nation, and inasmuch as the persons
and firms now resorting to these un-
fair and unpatriotic methods maintain
their businesses by patronage of Dem
ocrats as well as Republicans, we con-
denim these methods as an insult to
any Democratic patron which ought to
be, and which we hope will be, re.
sented.
Resolved, That We hereby call upon
the farmers of the nation, irrespective
OF party, who believe in fair play, to
unite with us through their organiza-
ton and as individuals, in crushing
out this unwise and indiscreet spirit
which would sacrifice the country S
welfare to party success. (Signed)

law, secretary.

HERRIcK AND HARRIS
sTUMPED TOGETHER

Three years ago our present, COVER
nor was a candidate for lieutenant
governor on the ticket with Gov. Her.
rick. He made campaign trips with
Gov. Herrick and spoke with him at
different places. October 81, of that
year Herrick and Harris travelled
through Geauga county together, end
ing with night meeting at Warren,
in Trumbull county. In dispatch
from Warren dated Oct 81, 1905, we
find this paragraph: Just once today
did Gov. Herrick stop explaining his
position on the Brannock bill and de-
nouncing anti-saloon league leaders, -
This was at Hiram college, as explatl-
ed in the same dispatch, which also
states that the governors party for
that day included A. l.. Harris. D. X.
Watson and c. c. LemeTt.
Gov. Herrick spoke that day at
several points, and at all except Hi
ram, according to the dispatches, he
denounced the anti-saloon league.
AS our present governor, Andrew
l.. Harris. then a candidate for lieu
tenant governor, was with Herrick
that day. he showed by his presence
that he approved of Herricks at
tacks on the anti-saloon league.
This same Andrew L. Harris IN a
| speech at Bellefontaine that year
declared that he was more concerned
about the reelection of Herrick than
he was about his own election.
And after Herrick's defeat this
same Andrew L. Harris said to a
group of friends and neighbors at his
, home in Eaton that it was a disgra9e
to Ohio to defeat Gov. Herrick.
Well, we'll, well! And this is the
same Andrew L. Harris who wants
those who voted for John M. Patti
son for governor, to vote for him
this year.
Was there ever in Ohio a more glar-
ing exhibition of hollow mockery and
false pretense than Gov. Harris is
making today to shield other candi'
dates on his ticket, whom he endorses
without exception" but who have
not dared to go on the stump in their
own behalf?

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

No greater importance attaches to
any candidate for Office than to the
candidates for county commissioner
In the hands of the county commits.
sioners are placed in great measure
the tax moneys of the people. Oficial
extravaganza begin and ends in the
Office of the county commissioners.
Other officials may contract bills but
if the commissioners are trustworthy
and imbued with ideas of economy
they will not allow all of the bills that
come before them.
The Democrats present, at the com
ing election, "a list of candidates for
county commissioners worthy the sup
port of all of the people.
Cyrus Stone is a well known bust
ness man of Massillon. G. w. Palmer
is one of Lake townships best and
substantial farmers. while A. l.
Young is one of She most favorable
citizens of East Greenville.
All of the Democratic candidates
k,r commissioner are men of ripe ex.
perience and of genuine worth as citi
zens. Their triumphant election will
do much toward eliminating abuses

pie have just cause to complain.

WHY DON'T THEY COME OUT.

Last Sundays papers contained an
nouncements of all the speakers as
signed to address republican meet
ings to be held in Ohio up to the
close of the campaign. Except the
appointments made for Gov. Harris
no other candidate on the state re-
publican ticket is assigned to speak
at any of these republican meetings
with one exception, Treadway, the
candidate for lieutenant governor,
who is to speak at two meetings.
Why doesn't Charles G. Green, dep
uty and heir apparent of McKinnon
come before the people and explain
why he is candidate for treasurer?
Why doesn't e. M. Fullington, dep
uty and heir apparent of Guilbert,
come before the people and explain
why he is candidate for state audi
! tor?
Why doesn't U. G. Denman, boss
Browns proxy candidate for attorney
general, come before the people in his
own behalf?
Why doesn't Carmi Thompson come
out and explain his facional dis
criminations and give at least one
treason why he should be reelected
secretary of state?
Why don't Judges Shauck and
Price stand up and explain the su-
preme courts decision stopping the
Cincinnati probe, the decision which
sustained the Foraker elimination
primaries, and many other decisions
of the supreme court in which they
have concurred?
Why don't the other candidates on
the boss made ticket come out and
at least show themselves before the
people, even II they can't say any
thing in their own behalf?
| Why do they skulk behind the gov
ernor? Why are they afraid to meet
the people face to face? And why
does the governor defend candidates
who cannot or dare not and do not
defend themselves?
The answer is plain. 1T is TIME
FOR A CHANGE. 1t is time for the
people of Ohio to CLEAN OUT THE
STATE HOUSE from top to bottom
and from governor to board of public
works. LET THE PEOPLE RULE
IN OHIO.

COERCION AND INJUNCTION.

Now If 1t were true that Taft is the
greatest friend of the worlingmen
ever discovered during a political
campaign, why should railway Off
cials call their shop hands together,
as was done at Bellefontaine. Ohio,
Oct 90, to be coerced with the threat
that wages will be reduced If Bryan
is elected and with an unguaranteed
promise Of increased wages if Taft is
elected?
Why should other workingmen be
threatened by supporters Of Taft that
shops will be shut down II Bryan is
elected or that orders received con-
ditional on Taft's election will be
cancelled il Bryan is elected?
Surely the men who make such
threats cannot claim that they are
actuated by consideration for work.
ingmen whom they attempt to CO.
cree thereby into a worse kind OF
slavery than was ever imposed on
human beings anywhere. Nor can
they deny that they as supporters of
Taft, would Russianize the working
classes of this nation, where we boast
of free and Independent citizenship,
into vassalage to be driven in time
by the knout instead of by the in
junction whip the Tafts and the
Grosscups have piled SO viciously.
Workingmen were given the same
kind of threats in 1896. They were
hungry then, as they are now. and
were told that prosperity and the
full dinner pail depended on opening
the mills.
Time has demonstrated that that
false cry was not raised in behalf Of
the toiling masses Look at these
toiling masses today, then look at
their dinner pals and listen to these
eoercive' attempts to deny them the
highest franchise of free citizenship
openly faunted by friends of Mr.
Taft in defiance of the criminal laws
of the United States.
II Mr.. Taft is the friend of tho
workfngmen" he has pretended to be
since he became a candidate for
president, he will call off these fla
grant violators OF the law or promise
them a prompt trip to the peniten-
tiary with travelling expenses paid
whether he is elected president or
not.
And if the workingmen of this
country, after the experience of the
past dozen years, do not vote this
year to rebuke such disregard for
their liberties by electiag for presi-
dent their true friend, whom they were
coerced into helping to defeat in 1896,
then they will deserve no more mercy
from such unpatriouc employers than
they are receiving foretaste of in
this revival of an old and Infamous
assault upon their citizenship

ooMPERs SCORED AND FLAYED

With great glee papers that are
supporting Taft for president pub
lished the speech OF Senator Knox
in Philadelphia.
"Gompers scored by Senator Knox
looked good to them for headline.
1t was almost as gloriousla catchline
as Taft's declaration at st. Louis that
he had done more for labor than
Gompers has done.
But the next headline was clinch-
er: "Gravest Accusation Against Bry
an is that He Supports Labor Lead
er's Views"
That is surely vicious thing for
Mr., Bryan to do at time when Mr..
Taft is begging for the votes of Ia
boring men as their best friend-with
out their knowing it until he became
o. candidate for president. Mr.. Taft
ought to have another campaign
manager general to edit the papers
that are trying to prop up his totter-
ing campaign.
On top OF this Roosevelt writes q
letter to Knox, because he's afraid to
write any more open letters to Bryan
since Mr.. Bryan replied to his last
screed. and the TAFT papers joyously
shout that Roosevelt Flays Comp
efs"
On, it's going fine. fellow citizens.
L4aboring men could ask for nothing
more to induce them 10 give q solid
cote for Bryan as patriotic duty to
themselves ard to the Hatl1n.

Some strong blows against the
Dingley tariff are coming from with
in the national association of manu-
facturers, dealt particularly by H. E.
Miles, of Racine, Wis. vice-presi-
dent and director of the association
Thus, in an article appearing in the
Annals of the American Academy, Mr.
Miles speaks of the tariff on steel
rails as follows
This man (memher of the house
ways and meanS committee) knows
that when the Dingley bill was pass
ed the cost of the manufacture of
steel rails was $12 per ton in Pitts
burg and SIS in England; ocean
freight was, ana is, about $3.50, max
ting $3.50 the English cost delivered
In New York, or 63 per cent above the
Pittsburg cost. Imagine any con-
gressman being so foolish or so dar-
ing as to attempt to explain why,
with this So per cent of natural pro-
tection,' $7.s4 per ton, or 65 per cent,
more protection was given by con-
gress. The granting OF a tariff like
this is a farming out OF the taxing
power for private considerations and
to private interests"
And again of the tariff on pig-iron:
"In utter disregard OF the principle
OF protection congress, under the in
fiuence of John Dalzell and lin the
name Of the principle thus set al
naught, put duty Of $4 per ton on
pig-iron-a duty about 10 times the
total wage csst of production at the
furnace"
Are we really 70 have the tariff re-
yised TO the line OF actual difference
between the cost Of construction here
and abroad? II 80. then evidently
some heavy reductions are coming
even allowing that reasonable pro-
