Taft, and afterward for whatever
the bosses willed.
"The result is already known.
Because Cox, Brown and Guilbert
find boards of review and the other
taxing machinery of the state use
ful to their purposes, they conspired
to control the three Offices that
have to do with this branch of
Ohio's auditor, treas
urer and attorney general. Full
lington, Guilbert's deputy, was
named for AUDITOR; Green, deputy
of McKinnon who loans money to
CoX's banks at n nominal rate Of
interest, was Nominated for treas
urer, and Denmen. vouched for by
Walter Brown, was handed the
nomination for attorney general.
'0Someone may ask: GLOW can
1t be called confidence game
where both sides get what they
want? For the reason that Taft
didn't need the Endorsement OF the
state committee. Browns support,
nor yet that of Cox or Guilbert
These men could not have kept the
control of the state convention
from raft. The mere announce
ment of their opposition would
have rallied the people to his
standard and the three bosses knew
it, Hence they couldn't do anything
else but make a bluff and take a
chance that 1t wouldn't be called
Ihey pretended they had something
to give when they had nothing
They handed Norys handsomely
wrapped package and he paid the
price demanded without asking any
questions We wonder If he has yet
cut the strings and inspected his
bargain.
"Only a cursory review of the
work done by these bosses during
the last few months is needed to
gauge the seriousness of the situa-
ton Green, Fullington and Dem
man are a load to the ticket. It
is doubtful If even the fact that the
election comes at the same time
as the presidential election can save
them, while there is graver danger
of their carrying the rest of the
candidates down with them.
ct is not too late to retrieve
and insure a solid Republican vic
tory in Ohio, but relief must be
prompt and drastic II the bosses
will withdraw the three candidates
whom they placed on the ticket
that will help some. But it is not
enough. The places thus made
vacant must be filled with candi-
dates in whose ability. integrity
and freedom from boss influence
the people have abiding confidence.
San absolute enforcement OF the
three consprators from the Repub-
lican state ticket must be effected
If the party would make success

STILL ON THE TRAIL

Even though Cox. Brown and
Guilbert have decreed that there
shall be no change in the person.
lel of the Republican state ticket.
even though some of the nominees
are very distasteful to the voters
md even to many OF the workers
the party, the Toledo Blade has
not changed its attitude. In fact
since the declaration of the bosses,
the Blade has become more Hisis-
tent in its demands that something
be done to save the party from
defeat at the polls. The following
article appeared in Saturdays edi-
ton of the Blade, and since none
of the Ohio editors have seen fit
to contradict the statement of the
Toledo organ, II can be taken for
granted that they are in sympathy
with its declarations, but lack the
courage to come out into the open.
1T Is time for plain speaking.
"The threatened revolt by the
Republicans of Ohio against the
domination OF the bosses has
reached a stage where il should
compel the attention of the real
friends of Secretary Taft. While
the attack has been made directly
on the part of the state ticket
which was named by Cox, Brown
and Guilbert, it is useless to deny
that the rapidly gathering opposi
tion to the candidates for attorney
general, auditor and treasurer will
lnJure the entire ticket.
"In the opinion of the unbiased
Republicans Secretary Taft is the
victim of a confidence game. A
start was made when Cox and
Brown on the same day espoused
the cause of Taft. He was warned
then that these men were not at
taching themselves to his camp for
love of him, but that they might
improve their individual fortunes,
political or otherwise. Next it was
adroitly Impressed on Mr.. Taft's
friends that he must obtain control
OF the state central committee.
'fhe one man who held the balance
of power between the Foraker
Dick forces and the opposition was
the chairman, Walter Brown, az
hence whatever deal was necessary
to control this committee had to be
made with him.
THAT was the beginning, and
the rest followed in same order. ~
Mr.. Vorys and Charlie Taft had
any mislgiving then, they evidently
thought IL was too late to retreat,
When INSCRIPTIONS bosses make
a bargain OF that nature they
take good care to retain the whip
hand, There was no blunder in this
case. Cox, Brown and Guilbert
agreed to deliver four delegates-at
large to Mr.. Taft with as strong
an Endorsement as could be drawn
lnasmuch as that was Mr.. Vory's
goal, he accepted the proposition
and thereafter gave to the trium-
virate such moral support as the
linking OF Taft's name with their
