Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-02-18
By JAMES A. EDGERToN,

1T Is seldom that one city can boast
three presidential possibilities at
il one time, a distinction that be-
longs to Cincinnati this year. The
fact that Cincinnati is in Ohio accounts
for It, Ohio is almost as prolific of pos
sible presidents as it is of buckeyes. 1t
not only has crop of its own, but
when other states want to support the
luxury Of favorite son they are often
compelled to fall back on a citizen
transplanted from Ohio. There are
Buckeyes who have come to regard the
White House as state institution,
Taft, Foraker and Judson Harmon
are the three candidates who are now
making Cincinnati about the warmest
spot on the political map. The careers
Of the three men are closely intermin
gled. All three are natives of Ohio.
Taft and Harmon were born in the
same county, Hamilton, and Foraker
and Harmon were born in the same
year, 1916. All three are lawyers, and
all three sat on the bench of the supe-
rior court of Cincinnati. Foraker and
Harmon served in this capacity at the
same time. Then Foraker was elected
governor, and when Harmon resigned
from the bench to resume the practice
of law in 1887 Foraker appointed Taft
to the vacancy. The parallel does not
end even here. All three are college
graduates, Taft from Yale, Foraker
from Cornell and Harmon from DENT
son. All have lived in Washington,
two as cabinet officers and one as SEN
ator. All three were originally Repub-
licans, Harmon breaking away in the
Greeley campaign Of 1872. Despite
present political differences, the three
haye been warm personal friends.
What fate is 1t that twists the
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-02-18

threads OF destiny in such strange
ways? Even now this truly remarka-
bic parallel is not at an end. 1t Is alb
solutely certain that at least two of
these men and possibly all three are to
be disappointed In their presidential
aspirations.
Since leaving the bench of the supe-
rior court Of Cincinnati, Harmon has
been attorney general of the United
States, Foraker has been governor and
senator, and Taft has been solicitor
General Of the United States, United
States circuit judge, governor OF the
Philippines and secretary of war. If
there is anything else that Cincinnati
would like, now is the time to speak.
No wonder she figures on being the
home Of the next president
A Peoples Party Organizer.
Although Judge Harmon is being
urged as candidate OF the conserva-
tive Democrats. he was not always
classed on that side Of the house.
There was a time when he was a rad
zeal of radicals, not only acting as sec
Rotary Of the Liberal Republicans IN
the I'll starred Greeley campaign. but
the next year helping to organize a
Peoples party, which nominated a
state ticket. advised everybody to cut
out both old parties and wound up by
polling not quite SO many votes as the
ProhibItionlsts After that he went
out Of politics and remained out till
1876. when he became a Tilden Demo-
crat- In that year he was elected a
Judge Of the common pleas court. but
served only four months. when he was
unseated on a contest.
The radical Of today is the conserva-
tive OF tomorrow. This fact may be
due either to the progression Of the
mass or the retroGeSsion Of the indi-
vIdual. Age may have something to

EDISON OFFICER A SUICIDE.
Inventors Private Secretary Kills
Himself; Thought Crazy.

Orange. n. j., Feb. 1S.-John +. Ran
dolph, treasurer of several of the Edi-
son companies and private secretary to
Thomas A. Edison. killed himself in
the basement of his home in Valley
way. West Orange.
After having had all their books care
fully audited and their bank accounts
examined officers of the Edison compa-
MES declared that they could explain
the deed of Randolph in no way other
than that he shot himself while tenn
porarily deranged.
In Mr.. Randolph's room there were
five letters. One was addressed TO
Mrs. Randolph, in which the writer
said that whatever property he had be-
longed TO his wife and children and
that he had come by all of it honestly
and had never been guilty Of wrong
full act. Other letters were 10 Mr., and
Mrs. Edison. In addition to acting as
private secretary to Mr.. Edison, Ran
dolph attended TO many business mat
tiers for Mrs. Edison. She went to the
house after the tragedy and remained
there for long time.

lows as matter of course that they
are in advance of that of Judge Har'
mon. That is story, however, which
can only be told by the result of the
convention and the election.
Whatever may be Judson Harmon's
attitude now compared to that of thir-
ty-five years ago, no one can charge
that he has deserted his principles,
On the contrary, he was opposed to the
greenback propaganda in 1876, just as
he was to free silver in 1896. He has
fought consistently against local rings
and bosses in his own party, and one
of the iercest of these fights occurred
but few years prior to his appoint
ment as attorney general. 1t is like
wise true that while he was railroad
attorney for many years his action as
one of the special counsel appointed to
investigate rebating on the Santa Fe
was more drastic than the administra-
ton would uphold. He, with the asso-
ciate counsel, found that the official
chiefly at fault was Paul Morton, who
had been one of the vice presidents of
the road and was then a member of
President Roosevelt's cabinet Mr..
Roosevelt would not have Morton
prosecuted, and Judge Harmon resign
ed. Some of his prestige today is due
to the deep impression created by that
case. Presidential booms have sprung
from less causes.
At the time of Judson Harmon's
birth his father was superintendent
Of schools in small Ohio town and
afterward became Baptist preacher.
The young man said it was hard to live
up to the reputation of minister's
son, but did not explain in what sense
he meant it. Others will interpret it
according to their ideas of what the
reputation Of a minister's son really

An "IdoI" In COLLEGE.


In college Jud Harmon Is described
as an idol" Most men who become
presidential candidates are discovered
to have been ''ldols" In college. 1t is
at least polite to say so. Besides, time
mellows all differences. and success
conceals all defects. So 1t happens
that when a man has become big
enough TO be mentioned for the presi-
dency his classmates are In a state OF
enthusiasm which makes them forget
his bad points and magnify his good
ones.
1t can readily be credited, however,
that Harmon was a little tin joss
among the "rah-rah" boys. For one
thing he was and Is six footer, ath-
letic and full Of animal spirits. For
another be was and Is the soul OF good
nature. For third he was a leader In
ell school pranks. These are qualities
that insure mans popularity In col
lege-or out Of college, for the matter
Of that.

WATSON HITS BRYAN
Georgia Populisi Gets After The
Peerless One
BUT HAS PRAISE FOR TAFT
Let The South Become Politically
Uncertain, Says Watson. And She
VIII Again Become Politically
Great--His Great Purpose In Life.

MACON, Ga. July 24,-Thomas Il
| Watson. Populist candidate for Pres
ident opened his campaign here in a
speech oi one hour TO an audience
that taxed the capacity OF the Grand
opera house. He asked for Geor-
gia's electoral votes and said, il nee
essary he would give them TO Bryan
10 defeat Taft. His assaults were all
directed at Bryan, however, and his
praises were for Roosevelt and Taft.
His charge against Bryan Of refuS-
ing to vote for Crisp for Speaker in
the Democratic caucus because OF his
being a Confederate was heard in ST.
lence but his attack on the Nebras-
kan for his attitude in giving the ne.
groes comfort in the Brownsville
matter was repeatedly applauded, Mr.,
Watson spoke as follows;
The greatest purpose OF my life
now is 10 put the South back into the
position OF National influence which
she held before the Civil war and 10
bring back the reign OF Democratic
principles as they were practiced in
the 4os and Sos. The greatest obsta-
Gle in the way is the apathy OF the
South itself II the Southern people
would arouse themselves, they could
easily throw off the domination OF
the Eastern capitalist, who exploits
the Southern States through the ma
chincry OF the Democratic party. You
call yourself Democrats Andrew
Jackson Democrats; Thomas Jcifer-
SON Democrats--and you have never
stopped to inquire what are the prin-
ciples for which Andrew Jackson and
Thomas Jefferson stood.
You are asked to vote for Mr.. Bry-
All and yet Mr.. Bryan's platform is
one which Andrew Jackson would
have spurned and Thomas Jefferson
despised. 1t represents disgrace
ful surrender OF principle In 1896
Mr. Bryan claimed to be as good o
Populist as Watson For eight years
he wore every shred Of clothing
which Populism had in its wardrobe
In 1904 he abandoned his Populist
raiment and entered zealously into the
Parker campaign, which he himself
had denounced as "a sell-out to the
Wall-street element of the Democra-
tic party Whatever he wanted done
was done. Whatever he wanted
thrown out was bounced. The plat
form is just what he made and that
platform is one of the most shameful
abandonments Of principle that poll
teal history presents.
What right has he to demand the
support Of those citizens who are
Democratic in principle upon such a
platform as this? And particularly
what right has he to expect the sup
port Of the South. Upon one princi-
pie alone can he hope to get it and
that is upon the idea that the South
Is compelled to vote the Democratic
ticket, no matter how offensive in
principle the platform may be, nor
how much the candidate may insult
her.
Mr.. Bryan understands the help
lessness Of the South and exploits It
to the very utmost. From the South
ern States he must draw 156 Of the
242 electoral votes that are necessary
to his success and yet he has treated
the Southern States as purely neg
ligible quantity. In return for her
156 electoral votes she gets nothing
