THE STEEL TRUST OPENS
REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN

The Ohio Republicans opened their
campaign at Youngstown and made
display through the aid of the steel
trust. Speaking Of the meeting the
Cincinnati Enquirer said
The commanding feature OF the day
was the parade that preceded the
speaking in Wick Park. There were
few over 10000 men milne. OF these
more than 10000 came from the steel
mills which form the chief and almost
the sole industry of the city and sub
urbs. They were the employees OF the
Republic Iron and Steel company. the
Youngstown Sheet aud Tube company.
and the United States Steel corpora
ton. better known as the steel trust.
Supplied with uniforms at the expense
OF these companies. the toilers pre-
scented striking appearance as they
marched past the reviewing stand. Be
cause OF the opening a shut down OF
tho mills was ordered until next Mon
day and the occasion made a holiday
/. But few Of these workers attended the
meeting in Wick Park This was cas-
lily seen by the lack OF uniforms in the
crowd. Probably not over one-tenth
OF the turnout came TO hear the
speeches.
The same account also says this:
One of the unusual incidents oc
CURED when the parade halted at the
Elks Club. Someone called for a
cheer for Taft. Out of the uniformed
ranks in response came a roaring
shout for Bryan and the column move-
on
SO il seems that the steel trust ma,

has promised for Taft

We SPEAK OF the administration OF
Claude Matthews as Democratic be
cause he was governor and in 1896 We
had had only one Republican legisla-
ture. which merely continued the Dem
ocratic policy in vogue up to that
time.
Observe that in 1896 three cents Of
the % % went toward paying the
state debt, and that there is no such
levy in 1907 Under the operation OF
the Democratic law for its payment
we now have no levy for that purpose;
but the Republicans. instead of reduc-
ing taxation as the debt and interest
was being paid. have increased taxa
ton.
They have not only increased the
rate. but the total taxables as com.
pared with the Democratic period
have been enormously increased. The
Republicans apply their levy Of over
80 cents TO s472. 7O9.O72 more taxables
than the Democrats had for the ap
plication OF their levy of 20 %. Sc
the full story of excessive taxation is
not told in the rate above.

Vile Tribune.
In his statement setting forth the
reasons for calling the special session
Governor Hanly mentioned four things.
viz. % the correction of a blunder

Republican majority at the regular SEES
sion; CD additional authority to deal
with the so-called might riders" 90
the passage OF a county local option
Law: ca the repeal of the vincennes

created an emergency requiring a spe

TO the trouble caused By the blunder
in the appropriation law. Governor
Hanly admitted in a speech at Attica
that he could have got plenty OF mon
ey 10 run the states affairs until the

cost except in the way OF interest. tn,
real reason. for calling the extra ses
