victory is distasteful to Democrats
and to all fair minded Republicans
as wdll, but laying aside all feelings
of partisan pride and all considera-
tiom for square deal, this act of the
governor in paying last tribute to
the party bosses is most distasteful.
1t proves conclusively that Ohio has
for years been one of the worst boss
ridden states i'm the union, and that
instead Of having "a government "of
the people, for the people and by the
people we have and have had a
government of the bosses, for the
bosses and by the bosses. When a
set Of bosses can cause the defeat of
a candidate and lay him 50 complete
ly on the political shelf, then have
so great an influence over him, that
they can force him to play into their
hands as they shall dictate, ii is lit
tie wonder that the peUp:e rejoice in
the success Of the opposite party and
promise of a complete change in the
manner of doing Things.
The acts of Governor Harris during
the closing hours OF his administra-
tion, his confession that matters in
the state offices we're not as they
should be and the admission which
went with that confession that he had
not performed his whole duty as
governor and his naming of boss
appointees to state positions, is proof
conclusive that the voters made no
mistake when they defeated him and
elected Judson Harmon. 1t also
proves that the voters did make a
blunder when they failed to make

fairs and failed to elect a legisla.

things which have been accomplished

Augusta, Ga, Jan. 6.--To the

his views regarding the influence of
the church uron civilization and its
usefulness in aiding governmental de-
velopment.
In his experiences In the North
and South and in the philippines,
Mr. Taft said he had been able to
study many different phases of life,
especially in the matter OF church in
fuenre. ain leawns the sectional
distinctions, he continued, 'the in-

BLUNDER IS APPARENT

Governor Harris in naming all of the
appotntives lin state affairs before the
expiration of his term in office and
playing politics with the Republican
bosses to secure the ratification Of
his appointments by the senate, has
played right into the hands Of those
men who plotted for his downfall
and worked during the campaign to
accomplish that end. 1t was thought
during the campaign that the ''drys'
were for HaiUts and the "wets'
against him because OF his connec-
tidn with tile Rose bill. The result
of! the election proved that this idea
was a mistaken one. 1t is true that
thts was 10 a certain extent the di-
viding line in tine election, but a
great many of the temperance men
became 80 thoroughly disguised with
Governor Harris because or his being
to all appearances at least, in League
with the Republican bosses. This
affiliation wdth Cox, Brown and
Guilbert, turned thousands of voters
TO Judson Harmon and brought
about the defeat of Harris.
NO sooner was the result of the
election made known than the bosses
gave out the word that Harris, be-
fore he retired from the office would
call special session of the general
assembly and would fill all of the po-
sitions possible and in this way
would rob Governor Harmon OF the
fruits of his victory. This was the
cue for Governor Harris. As soon as
plausible, he issued the call fer an
extra session OF the Legislature.
When he issued the call he was not
quite certain in his own mind wha.
he wanted TO accomplish, 50 he did
not say what was expected OF the
members when they got together
so he left that blank and said he
would tell them when they were as
sembled. In the meantime the bosses
informed the governor wlat pla.eJ
uhey wanted filed before me stepped
down and out. The governor was in
foqmed that unless he followed in
strnctLons down 20 the letter, the
appointments which he desired to
make in order to pay some Of his own
obligations, would not be ratified by
Uhe Senate. The club which has so
long been swung in Ohio was welded
again and welded effectively Like
a lamb, the governor walked up to
use trough and made the appoint
ments down to George B. COxs man
for police judge OF Cincinnati, man
who is thoroughly distasteful TO the
people of the Queen City who are
struggling to loosen their necHs from
the yoke OF Coxism.
OF course. this latest move upon
the part OF the Republicans TO rob
