Mr.. Harding said in his campaign

some very astounding correspondence
has been brought to light, showing
how state deposits were manipulated

of the letters found however, Cashier

who was nominated for state treas
urer and defeated two years ago, ad-
vised a bank in SteubenVille to ac-
company its application for state de-
posits with the recommendation of
the Republican county chairman, state
senator or representative.
Another letter written by Cashier
Green in 1907 was addressed to Hon.
Warren G. Harding, Marion, o., in
forming him that a bank at Marion
had been selected as a depository for
$4,000, and that This ACTION is

After discoveries like this it is no
wonder that Mr. Harding's campaign
plan of countercharges against Demo

miserable fiasco. Every charge which
he and his associates have attempted

witness to answer.
Senator Bristow (Rep.) Of Kansas
said at Winfield, Kan, July 9, 1910:
"The Republican party in its ma
tional convention declared for a re-
vision Of the tariff, maintaining the
principle of protection, and further
stated that the duties should be based
upon the difference in the cost Of pro-
duction at home and abroad, plus a
reasonable profit to the home manu-
facturer.
upon that platform the party won
the fight, and believe that nine
tenths of the Republicans throughout
the land expected the pledge to be
carried out in good faith.
"This, I believe, would have been
done had it not been for the peridy
and selfishness of certain designing
legislators, who were more desirous
of favoring special interests than Of
promoting the welfare of the people.
"Under the leadership of these
men, instead of revising the tariff
as was promised, duties are fixed not
with view of protecting legitimate
American industries or Of securing
revenue for the government, but for
the purpose of promoting the finan-
cial interests Of certain individuals or
concerns"
Here is what Senator Dolliyer Of
Iowa, that leader among the insurg-
ents who "died in the harness" only
few weeks ago, said on ihe floor
Of the senate June 13, 1910:
"If those of us who found it con-
sistent with our sense Of duty to
make the Republican support Of the
tariff act Of 1909 unanimous have
made any mistake, 1t is that we have
remained silent too long while an or
ganized defamation Of our political
character has been set on foot, pro-
ceeding from the highest public Off
GERS Of the government, executive and

necessary for men to swallow down
every tariff law that is set before
them or in conscience abandon the

the control Of the old regime.

have been trying to deceive the vOt-
ers Of Ohio by hurting alleged graft
charges against State Treasurer
Creamer and some of Governor Har-
mons appointees because they fol
lowed the custom observed for years
by Republican state officials in charg-
ing travelling expenses between their
homes and the capitol, custom found
ed upon an official opinion given by
former Attorney General John NJ.
Sheets, a Republican, to former State
Dairy and Food Commissioner Horace
Ankeny, also a Republican.
This custom prevailed without
question by the former Republican
state auditor, w. d. Guilbert, without
question by the present Republican
state auditor, E. M. Fullington, or any
other Republican state official until
the ruling was made by the present
attorney general, Mr.. Denman, that
the custom was not legal--a ruling
that reversed the official opinion Of
Attorney General Sheets
AS this ruling by Denman was made
about year ago there is reason to
believe that there was political mo-
tive in it, inspired by desire to hang
something onto Democratic officials If
possible.
But the ruling has had this effect.
All the Democratic officials who were
affected by it repaid to the state the
small amounts they had received I'M
der the ruling of the former attorney
general, Sheets, WHILE NONE OF
THE REPUBLICAN OFFICIALS AT
FECTED IN EXACTLY THE SAME
WAY BY MR.. DENMAN'S RULING
HAVE YET PAID BACK ONE CENT,
nor has suit been brought against
them by Attorney General Denman to
compel them to pay back.
Mr. Harding and his associates
have been charging that the repay
ment Of these amounts by Democratic
officials is confession of graft" They
have not told the people of Ohio what
kind Of confession it is for Repub-
lican state officials to collect the
same kind of expenses and REFUSE
TO PAY BACK.
Four years ago examiners reported
overcharges against Mr.. Harding's
paper, the Marion Star, for official ad-
Vertising. Mr.. Harding refused TO
pay back the amount Of such alleged
overcha ges, and two years later suit
was brought to recover them. This
suit is still pending in the courts of
Marion county AS a newspaper edi-
tor, therefore, Mr.. Harding is subject
to the same kind of criticism which
some unscrupulous Republican papers
have hurled at Governor HarmOn's
appointees.

Defeat of Crean1er
Would Restore Old Ring

Early in the campaign Governor
Harmon criticised Mr.. Hartlng and
the Republican legislature Of 1904 for
failing to have the depository law
require that funds be deposited by
competitive bidding.
At that time Mr.. Harding was lieu
tenant governor, the presiding officer
Of the state senate and in v hich ca
pacity Mr.. Harding welded a strong
influence in directing the action Of
the legislature.
Attempting to defend himself, Mr..
Harding in his reply to Governor
Harmon intimated that at the time
he was in favor of depositing state
funds by competitive bidding, but
that the influence of the state audi
tor and state treasurer (Guilbert and
McKinnon) was so strong tnat he
yielded and they had to take the best
measure that they could get.
Governor Harmon replied to this
by asking If Mr. Harding surrendered
at that time to those men would he
in the future yield to the influence
Of George B. Cox, to whom Mr. Hard
ing has said he yielded ceference
and devotion? Mr.. Harding has not
answered.
When the depository act was pend
ing before the legislature Guilbert
and McKinnon opposed it vigorously
because they did not want depos-
itory law Of any kind. Revelations
made by the Howe investigating cCm-
mittee of the state senate and sub
sequent investigations show why.
Guilbert would have BEEN obliged to
turn into the state treasury every
week the large sums which ho allow
ed to Lay in banks. Another feature
of ''the best bill they could get" was
1. compromise with McKinnon giving
him 8, per cent of all the interest
collected from deposits, amounting to
approximately $4,000 or mere per
year, which, added to his regular SAL
ary and perquisites, made his total
income about $500 per year.
Mr.. Harding's acquiescence in "the
best bill they could get" was not for
gotten by tate Treasurer McKinnon
and his cashier, Mr.. Green, when
that letter was written In August,
1907, informing Mr.. Harding that
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1910-11-04

bank at Marion had been accepted
as a depository for $4,000, and that
"this action is in compliance with
your letter of recommendation to
Mr.. McKinnon Of some days since"
The depository law does not re-
quire the state treasurer to deposit
the state funds by competitive bid
ding. If State Treasurer Creamer
should be defeated for -e-election
there is no law or other obligation
to compel his successor to handle the
state funds in the same manner that
he has handled them. The depository
law does not even compel 'he state
treasurer to deposit the state funds
for the reason that the first sentence
of section 4 of that act (section 326
of the Federal Code) reads in part
as follows: "The treasurer of state
MAY deposit any portion of the pub
lie moneys in his possession" in such
banks as are approved by the depos-
itory board.
What, then, is the real purpose and
desire back of the effort to defeat
Treasurer Creamer at the coming
election? Judging from the discov-
cries Of political influences lowering
about the treasury in former years,
it is fair to assume that those who
profited by methods revealed during
the past two years woul1 move
heaven and earth if possible to get
Creamer out so that they can get
the treasury back into their control
as it was in the days when they
could "have the money back again
Monday if you wish" practice that
Mr.. Harding has said was wlnked at
by the knowing ones"

unique hoax, and both promptly pre-
scented to the favorable notice Of the
public by the highest official con-
gratulations' (Laughter.)
Now if such Republicans as Bris-
tow and Dolliver could not vote for
the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, why
should any Republican vote for a Re-
publican candidate for congress
whose election will mean an endorse
ment Of this bill? If Republican con-
gress is elected, you can rest assured
that the Republican stand-patters
will take this as an endorsement Of
their work and will continue to favor
the few and privileged class and put
the burdens of taxation upon the
common people.

No Protection in Tariff
for American Farmers

Hon. Frank S. Monnett, candidate
for congress in the Columbus dis
trict, prepared a statement of facts
and figures that is of equal interest
and value in every congressional dis
trict in Ohio 1t should be helpful to
every voter in choosing his congress.
man, and follows in full:
When the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill
went into effect, the farmers of
Franklin county were receiving soc
to 90c for corn. The September op-
tion closed at 4S1ac per bushel, diff
ference of &C per cent Of the value to
the farmer, in less than two years.
Last year, September wheat sold
at Chicago, at the close of the mark
ct, at 1.2O. This year it sold at
9315c, difference of 20 per cent. or
One-quarter of the farmers income.
Last year l received 33 1-3c per
pound for my clip of Ohio wool.
This year, the best have been Of
fered is 22c to 25c per pound for the
same grade wool, difference Of
about SO per cent. on my income.
Last year, September oats closed
at 4Sc per bushel in the Chicago
market, and this year at 31hc, a diff
ference Of So per cent. or more than
one-half of my income from oats.
Woolen blankets from the same
wool have increased 25 per cent;
wire nails maul by the United States
Steel Trust, and wire fence are 40
per cent. higher than before the trust
fixed the arbitrary prices.
Farm machinery, mowers, reapers
and the repairs thereon, wagons, en-
gines and manure spreaders are sell

more than they cost, under the ma
nipulation of the International Har-
Vester Company.
Now under the tariff bill tha farm
ers OF Franklin county get no pro-
lection upon their hay, their oats,
their wheat or their corn, because
they export "a per cent. of these pro-
ducts.
Therefore, the tariff in no way
protects any of the farmers pro-
ducts, except wool, and with tartn
Of lie per pound, wool forthwith
shrank 8 1-3c per lb in Ohio.
The latest report Of The American
Woolen Company, according to their
report of August, 1910, shows they
increased their income from $685.

profits from $1,2S7, ,7O5 to S5,798,O59
or more than 400 per cent.
After paying all their dividends on
the watered stock and fictitious
bonds, they increased their surplus

$s,00O,0O0. The net profits Of The
American Woolen Company were as
above stated, and it is the sole buyer
Of the wool in this state and county,
having increased its profits under
the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill 400 per
cent. and the farmers, in the mean
time, lost or deprecated their profits
25 per cent.

How People Got Stung
by Late Tariff Revision

The Republican platform Of 1908
pledged reduction Of the tariff down
ward. President Taft in his speech
Of acceptance and in his inaugural
address promised this faithfully
When the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill
was before congress the Democrats
insisted on a reduction of the tariff.
They pointed out that the only proper
and legitimate function Of a tariff
law is to raise revenue to supply the
needs of the government economic

They said that the tariff shonld be

per acre. He plowed under a heavy
second growth of clover on 80 acres
of this field in December, 1908, and
applied 1000 pounds per acre of
rock phosphate; and the 40 acres, in
pasture, was given a light dressing
of manure and 1900 pounds per
acre of rock phosphate before plow-
ing in the spring of 1909. With this
treatment and good cultivation the
yield was doubled-70 bushels per
acre-while opposite 1t was tenant
land, naturally the same, which
yielded 80 bushels per acre.
On another farm Mr.. Wilson re-
deemed q bad spot of 10 or IL acres
which would not give good yields Of
wheat or corn, by blowing under
big crop of clover with a half ton
per acre OF rock phosphate. The
yield jumped to rs bushels per acre,
the best In the field. A 20-inch
catch crop of clover was plowed I'M
der the rest of the field, and with
thorough disking and four cultiva-
lions the field averaged 10 bushels
leaving out some sandy places.
For two years Mr.. Wilson has fol-
lowed the practice of turning under
whole crops Of clover, even when he
could get $12 or SIS ton for the
hay. And he believes that he gets
200 to 800 per cent returns for plow-
ing under even a catch crop of
clover. He is out nothing but the
seed and labor and gets a large in
crease in the following corn yield.
Glover is sown as a catch crop in all
small grain; he had 200 acres of
such last year, most Of which made
two tons per acre.-Reported by Ar
thur ]. Bill for the Illinois Farmers
institute.
