ONO A DousrFuL STATE.

For some time the Republican press
of Ohio has been predicting that Taft
would carry Ohio by a large plurality,
but change of opinion has evidently
taken place in the minds of some of
the editors. The Cleveland News,
one of the leading Republican papers
in Ohio, under the head, "The Situa-
tion in Ohio" in yesterdays issue
publishes the following:
ut is to be noticed that the news
papers of the country that have been
printing political prophecies of du-
bious tendency regarding Judge Taft's
prospects in Ohio leave Governor Har-
ris out of consideration. Seemingly
there is general belief in the gov
ernor's expectation of reelection. no
matter how strong may be the suspic-
ion that the presidential candidates
run in his own state will leave him
much to regret.
Indeed, the Ohio omens are none
too good from a Taft point of view.
The Foraker incident seems likely to
cost the support of as much of that
gentleman's following as remains loyal
through thin as well as thick. while

are not pleased because the Taft coun-
tenance smiled upon the senator as
long as it did.
"The presence of Charles G. Green
as candidate for treasurer is an un-
mistakable detriment TO the whole
party ticket, federal as well as state.
"The party in Ohio lacks the quail
ity of cohesian more than ever be-
fore. Cuyahoga county is not the only
locality in the state where the Repub-
licans, destitute of strong leadership,
have allowed their strength to split
in factional squabbles over minor Of
fees.

ample, the remnant of the Cox ma
chine may be found furtively working

revenge for the blast Taft exploded
under him in the Herrick-Pattison
campaign no less than for real or
fancied slight in this campaign. Moth
ing could be sweeter, to Cox's way of
thinking, than Taft's loss of his own
city and county.
There are reasons a-plenty for
considering Ohio a presidentially
doubtful state in 1908.

DIRECT CHARGES MADE.

To the Editor Morning News-We
noticed in your valuable columns an
array of figures in connection with the
management of affairs by the county
commissioners and infirmary direc-
tors which we believe should be ex-
planned by these gentlemen who con-
stitute the several boards why this
lavish use of money for enlarging and
building up a county infirmary for the
care of the poor of this country. We
are reliably informed that within the
last thirty days the infirmary direc-
tors have refused two worthy poor
sick destitute women admissio to the
infirmary who are now in a helpless
condition in the cold world, stranded
within the sound of the bell which
summons this autocratic board of in
firmary directors to their free daily
banquet at public expense and to col
lect their perdiem for their valuable
service and that during this same
period that an able bodied brother
in-law of one of the infirmary direc-
tors who has neither an ache or pain
was admitted into this institution as
an inmate and provided for at public
expense. Lord help the poor when
such conditions exist. We always were
of the belief that all resident poor in
times of distress and want were elig-
ible to admission to the infirmary and
that it was not in. the province of an
autocratic board Of poor house direc-
tors to discriminate and admit their
able bodied relatives in place of the
sick and distressed poor. Enough has
been developed within the past con-
corning the extravaganza and mis-
management of this institution by the
present board of county commission
ers and infirmary directors to arouse
the indignation of all decent fair
minded people, but this outrageous
discrimination cannot be understood
and should be explained.
The people are about to elect three
directors of the infirmary who will
control the policy of this important
institution. Two of the present board
are candidates for reelection, namely,
Chas. Jarvis candidate for third term
and Mr.. Eliot, who was appointet to
fill the unexpired term of Isaac Smith,
deceased. Has the record of Mr.. Jar
Wis as infirmary director, been such as
to commend him as candidate for
third term? Consult the records and
then determine your answer. Why
this desire to be a third term candi-
date on the part of Mr.. Jarvis i Han-
not be in the interest Of the people of
Stark county or the unfortunate poor
who become inmates of the infirmary.
There must be some selfish purpose
back Of his candidacy not in the in
terest of the taxpayer or the poor and
distressed. AS to Mr.. Ellot's candi-
dacy what has he done since becoming
q member of this board but acquiesce
in what the two old members have
done. Has he raised his voice against
extravaganza and discrimination? Has
he said to them, know your conduct
of this institution is unfair, extrava-
CANT and reckless? No, he has been
perfectly mum and fell in with all
that has been going ON and drawn
his $3.50 and mileage per day for the
part he has played in the reckless and
discriminating conduct of what should
be the home of all worthy poor and
dependent.

MUST FACE THE ISSUE

Those who have read the two
speeches cannot fail to recognize the
straightforwardness, candor and sin
ccrity of Judge Harmon's speech at
the opening of the democratic cam
paign in Mansfield. as contrasted with
the evasiye and Elusive utterances of
Gov Harris at Youngstown.
Judge Harmon did not hesitate to
lay hare the truth about conditions
that have existed at the state house
with the governors full knowledge.
In his arraignment of these conditions
Judge Harmon was well fortified by
the other speakers at the Mansfield
meeting, each of whom took up and
elaborated some facts brought to light
by investigation during the session of
the legislature, which Judge Harmon
spoke of only briefly in his more ex-
tended address.
Gov. Harris cannot escape this is
sue. He cannot ignore the arraign-
ment of his administration and Of
other state officials whom he has
sought TO shield with his official pow
er.
Gov Harris must answer to the
people what Judge Harmon submitted
in his speech at Mansfield for the
thoughtful consideration of the Vot-
ers this year.
Judge Harmon showed up the mock
cry of the governors attempt to side
track the campaign into a discussion
of temperance which is not an issue,
and showed up the real attitude of
Gov. Harris as a state official when
he said of him: "He (Harris) has sat
with his eyes closed and his hands
folded while his associates have grown
rich by manipulating the public funds
letting their own banks have the
states money at less interest than the
same banks we're paying for the funds
of the city of Columbus and for pri-
yate funds"

FREE FROM PoLrrlcs.

A number OF counties have held
local option elections under the Rose
county option law
In each county the result was de-
termined by an absolutely non-par-
tisan vote, just as the petitions call
ing for such elections were signed
without regard to party politics.
The law itself under which these
elections were held was enacted by
non-partisan votes in both branches
of the state legislature.
After every precaution has been
taken to prevent party lines being
drawn on the passage of local option
laws, in securing petitions for elections
and in the campaign for votes at such
elections, the voter is easily duped
who will he deceived by Governor
Harris into voting for him on his
trumped up local option issue.
Both Democrats and Republicans
voted dry in the local option con-
tests held so far; both Republicans
and Democrats voted wet" In some
counties the vote was very close. In
others, big majorities against the
saloons differed as materially from
normal party proportions as in the
counties where the vote was close I;
so that there is no political signit1-
cance in the results of these local
option elections, whether the vote was
cIose or one sided.
There is no logical, no moral, no
political reason why these county OPP
ton contests should be involved in
or complicated with the state and
national campaigns in Ohio. There
is a partisan purpose back of the
false position of Governor Harris, and
that is to ensnare the voters of Ohio
in the net Guilbert, Cox, Brown and
their affiliated bosses have woven
to continue their corrupt power in
the state house. Governor Harris is
their stalking horse with his light
ning-change conversion into an evan
gel of temperance, while Ghilbert,
Cox, Brown ct al plot how to manipu-
late state funds and run the taxing
machinery OF the state in ways that
are past finding out by investigating
committees OF the state legislature.
In counties where local option con-
tests have been held, the voters can
now give full attention to the ques-
tions at issue in the state and ma
tional campaigns. In counties where
such elections are to be held be-
tween now and November 8, the
voters can settle the non-partisan
issue of wet" or dry" without bind
ing themselves to vote against their
real interests in the state and ma
tional election.
The overshadowing issue before
the nation is, Shall the People Ruler"
The overshadowing issue in the
state of Ohio is whether corruption
which Governor Harris is trying to
cloak with a false issue shall con-
tinue to flourish; or whether the peo-
pie will decide to rule in Ohio as well
as in the nation, and vote to CLEAN
OUT THE STATE HOUSE from top
to bottom.
