WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Dem
ocratic leaders of Ohio are now claim
ing that they will carry the State by
a majority of $4,000. This claim is
based on the assumption that Secre-
tary Taft will be nominated by the
Republican National Convention. They
are carefully laying their plans not
only for the election of State ticket
but a Democratic Senator to succeed
Senator Foraker, and members of the
lower house from at least four more
Republican districts,
This assurance was brought 10
Washington today by Joe bowling, OF
Dayton, one of former Senator Brlee's
lieutenants. He came here to confer
with a number of the Democratic lead
ers. and gave them more encourage
ment than they have received from
Ohio in recent years.
Assuming that the Republican par
ty will nominate Secretary Taft at the
Chicago Convention" said Mr.. DoWl-
ing. Il wish to predict that former
Gov. Campbell will succeed Senator
Foraker. have just made trip over
Ohio, and in my opinion the State will
be Democratic by $4,000 if Secretary
Taft is nominated. AS the general
opinion in washington seems to be
that Secretary Taft will be nominated
on the first ballot, we Democrats be-
gin to see light breaking down in
Ohio.
I'm order to secure the Presidential
delegation from Ohio Arthur l. Vorys.
Secretary Taft's manager, has turned
the control of the party in the State
over to the Cox-Brown-G uilbert ma
chine. The machine leaders have
nominated a State ticket against
which practically all of the Repulbl-
can papers excepting those controlled
nv Charles p Taft, have revolted, and
have made fearful mess of the legis-
lation passed at Columbus this winter.
To begin with, Secretary Taft has a
very bad labor record, but they have
added to this by defeating the initla-
tive and referendum bill which was
indorsed by both of the Senators, all
Of the labor organizations and Farmer
Alliances of the State.
Then all of the old soldiers are Of
Tended by the attempt that is beng
made to eliminate Senator Foraker
He is still their idol, and they will not
vote the Republican ticket if he is
trampled on in this attempt to secure
the delegation for Secretary Taft.
You can also place the colored voters
of Ohio in the list of boilers at the
next November election IL Secretary
Taft is the candidate of the party

to offices will not make them forget

CALLS HALT ON
EXTRAVAGANCE
SENATOR HALE SOUNDS NOTE OF
WARNING ON RAIDERS OF
THE TREASURY.
SHARP CRITICISM OF Mr.. TAFT
Makes Motion to Reconsider The Ar
my Appropriation Bill to Cut
Down Amounts.

WASHINGTON, April IA warn
ing against increasing expenditures
for the military establishment of the
United States was sounded in the Sen
ate today by Senator Hale, chairman
of the Committee on Naval Affairs,
and the alarm was taken up and re-
peated by other Senators.
The discussion was based on a
signed article printed in the Washing
ton Post today saying in effect that
Secretary Taft favored a reorganiza-
ton and enlargement of the army
that would bring it up to $4,000 men.
The immediate occasion for Senator
Hale's speech was the passage yes
terday of the army appropriation bill
carrying nearly $1OOOOO,000, and he
used it as showing the tendency of
the times.
Moving to reconsider the vote by
which the army appropriation bill was
passed, Senator Hale said Senators
did not realize that 20 per cent. of the
revenues of the Government were to-
day expended for what had been
termed the needs of the present, past
and future wars.
What is going on" continued Mr..
Hale. without Senators or the coun-
try being aware of it, is the enormous
increase of the military establishment
to the prejudice of all other appropria,
tons and claims. We cannot get con-
sideration of other bills because, as
everybody knows, the revenues are
waning. and we are likely to be con-
fronted with deficit, and in not many
months ahead we shall be found
spending more money than comes into
the Treasury from the existing ordl-
nary sources We cannot pass the
omnibus appropriation bill, which has
thousands of items that ought to be
paid as much as note at hand; we
are to have no river and harbor bill
because it is a, peace bill; we can have
no public building bill because the
military expenses are mounting so
RAPIDLY that we cannot afford these
items that are for peace"
Mr.. Hale recapitulated appropria-
lions for military purposes and said
every item represented great aims OF
the future. There had, he said, been
an increase of $2O;O0O,OOO in the ap-
preparations for the army and about
the same increase for the navy. This,
he said, did not represent the "enor-
nous increase" for the navy, as only
two instead of four battleships are
provided for.
when you build up navy" he de-
clared, you only begin to spend mon
ey. You commit the country to re-
pairs and maintenance, making neces-
sary an increasing appropriation, and
if you go on we are going to have
naval appropriation in three or four
years that will amount to $3.50, 0OO,O 900
annually
