APPEAL TO OHIO VOTERS
Impresses Belief That State Elec.
tion Will Be Far-Reaching.
JPH0LDS REPUBLICAN POLICIES
impossible, He Says, to Disconnect
Tie Between National and
State Issues.

CINCINNATI. November 5.-"President
Taft stands today the head and leader
of the great republican party, expressing
its principles, carrying out its promises
and guiding it with the confident mastery
Of leader, but without any assumption
IF personal control of power beyond the
right and proprieties attaching to his
great Office
tn these words Secretary of State Knox
tonight extolled the chief executive of the
nation in speech closing the republican
ampaign in this section Of Ohio. and in
" hich he pleaded for republican victory
on Tuesday next as an Endorsement or
the President by his home state.
The Secretary early impressed upon his
hearers his beAef that the election In
Ohio will be far-reaching politically In
the nation at large. On this theme he
said, in part:
Issues a Warning.
You should not be misled by the argu-
ment of our democratic friends that this
Ohio campaign involves no national is
sues, bears no relation to national poll
cies. and that republican voters can
safely abandon their party In this state
election without affecting republican is
sues in national politics hereafter.
Il say to you with all the solemnity of
an assured conviction that your duty in
the present crisis Is manifest and can
not be doubted; that you ought to recon-
cile and heal any differences in the party
that you ought to support your state re-
publican platform and candidates on the
merit of the issues which they present
and the claims which they make as be-
tween the republican and democratic par
ties, and that you ought to take this
course for the additional clear and strong
reason that IL you should elect the demo
cratic candidates and encourage the dis
organized ranks of that party by such
triumph In this state, you would deal 9
direct blow to the republican cause in the
national field. 1t is impossible to dis
connect the tie between national issues
and local causes in your present cam.
paign.
Effect of Democratic Victory.
In such event we would be heralded
to. the world by our opponents that not
only had the republican party been re-
buked before the whole nation by such
a result in Ohio. but 1t would be said
with peculiar emphasis that President
Taft had been discredited ands15is pol-
icies and administration condemned by
his own state. earnestly submit &c
you, my Ohio friends. that he Is en-.
titled to your enthusiastic and cordial
support on personal as well as public
and party grounds. and / earnestly en-
treat you not to permit him to be be-
trayed in the house of his friends"
Secretary Knox then reviewed at
great length the political and economical
history of the country since the begin
ming of President Taft's tenure of office,
defending the Payne tariff and other
enactments. and closing with another
plea for party harmony
Other speakers at the meeting, which
was largely attended. were Job Hedges
Of New York, and Lieutenant Governor
Francis J. TreadWay.

Only One Course Open.

The failure to ccme to an agreement
with the German government and the
Kali syndicate by which the terms Of the
American contracts in their full interest
can be carried out by the mines leaves no
other course open to Mr.. Davis than to
advise his government to this effect, to-
sether with his recommendation that the
time has arrived when under the terms of
the American tariff law its maximum
provisions shall have to go into effect
In this respect. 1t is pointed out, the law
Is automatic as we'll as mandatory, it
being only required to ascertain the
changes in the conditions as to commerce
which make the Presidents proclamation
necessary. The necessity for such action
the American government has sincerely
hored to avoid through due recognition
Of its citizens rights.

South Dakota
Divorce Was Illegal

WASHINGTON Oct, Divorces
granted in South Dakota are not ''le-
gal tender" in the District of Column
bia, according to decision today by
Judge Stafford in the district supreme
court.
The particular decree which the jus
tice declared invalid here was obtained
by Milton d. Davis, who in 1907 went
to South Dakota, got q divorce. and
three weeks later married again. The
former Mrs. Davis If she really is no
longer the legal wife, brought suit for
absolute divorce and alimony. The
answer made 10 the petition was that
Davis has already secured a divorce.
"Is 1t for public interest" Justice
Stafford says in his opinion. that di-
vorces of this character should De held
good" He held that as Davis had
deserted his wife and left this jurisdlc-
ton, it follows that the court of South
Dakota has no jurisdiction over her
and no right to bind her by its decree.

completing the eighth grade may get
n four or six years schooling in agri.

and other techical courses An ap
preparation of from $4,000 to 10000

The fort has eighteen well construct
