HARDING FIGHTS FOR uFE'S COAL
Presidency In 1912 Greatest
Prize In Buckeye Battle.
Harmon's Re- election
May Mean Rejection of
Taft and Pushing of Gov
ernor Into White House.

Taft has shown a fitful interest In
the outcome. The careers of Harmon
and of Taft have been strangely in
termingled. They were born in the
same county, and, while it is not on
record that they courted the same girl,
1t is certain they have held the same
offices and no doubt will seek to do so
in future.
When Harmon resigned the Judge
ship in Cincinnati Taft was appointed
to fill the vacancy. Stranger yet, the
appointment was made by Joseph b.
Foraker. then governor Somewhat
later Grover Cleveland, In looking
over the country for an attorney gen.
eral, saw the lank and somewhat rug

Editor of College Paper.

Harding was born in 1865, the son Of
a physician who served in the civil
war. He had the journalistic bug
even in college, where he was one OF
the editors Of the campus paper. No
sooner was he graduated than he
started on his newspaper career on the
old family mule. riding 1t into Marion,
the county seat. Ii may be that that
particular mule will become as famous
as those driven by James A. Garfield
on the towpath. II may be that the
particular load Of ambition it carried
was then started on his journey to
the governorship Of great state, and
who knows to whit greater heights?
1t is hard to keep an Ohio governor
down, especially If he succeeds in
holding his job second term. And
that brings us to Harmon.
The friends Of Governor Harmon
IRE quite frank In saying that this
years campaign IL but preliminary TO
the White House in 1912. Possibly
that is one reason that William II.

Proves His Courage.

In his campaign against graft and
official peculation Governor Harmon
has exhibited an equal courage. He
has not made n great deal of noise as
governor, but his quiet efficiency has
attracted the notice of the country. At
the first meeting of the house of gov
errors he was chosen to preside, and
when the body called at the White
House President Taft singled him out
for a compliment. This is the sort of
man Warren G.. Harding has to beat
before attaining the ambition of his
life.
AS to Harding being the best cam
palgner in Ohio there is distinguished
authority. President Taft says so, add
ing, with the possible exception of
Foraker"
In his campaign for the nomination,
which he made frankly and without
mock modesty, Mr.. Harding held aloof
from factions. Although classed as q
Foraker man, he had in 1908 practically
repudiated Foraker. That was at the
time the Cincinnati senator attacked
Taft. Yet the Foraker followers
throughout the state rallied to Harding

IS not a mere state fight that is &C.
cupying the attention Of Ohio this
year, but one chock full of presiden
tial politics.
That it will be one of the hottest
fights in the history of the state is as
sured not only by the big stakes in
volved. but by the character of the
two men themselves. While Harmon
has never been referred to as the best
stumper in the state, he has sort OF
Uncle Jud way of appealing TO his au-
diences that is most effective. More
over, he will have certain ammunition
in the way of printing and other scan
dals at Columbus that will not be lost
oil Ohio voters. He will make his cam
paign largely on state issues, while the
Republican platform indicates that
Hardings fight will follow national
lines.
1t is understood the president insist
ed that in his own state there should
be a vigorous defense of the Paine
Aldrich tariff. The Democrats can
hardly refuse this gage of battle, and
hence the outcome in the Buckeye
State should give a clear line on the
attitude or American voters on the tar
in law. Indeed, Mr.. Taft naturally
feels that the outcome in his own state
will be regarded as a verdict on his
Dwn administration.
The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1910-08-03

been in harmony with the party man
ayers.
Before the convention which ren0m-
mated him for governor he locked
horns with William ryan on the
subject of nominatin andidate for
United States SEM %. Fhe governor
was against taking that action and
won out He also opposed public

Newark affair, where he took decid-
ed stand against the mayor, although
that official was Democrat, shows
something of the same Independent
spirit.

In this years contest for the nominal
ton. so that the breach, If the dis
agreement ever reached the stage of
being called breach. may be consid-
cred healed.
Another incident showing the quality
Of the Republican candidate was his
break with Governor Herrick. Hard
ing was lieutenant governor at the
same time Herrick was governor, and
the two parted company because Hard
ing wanted to be governor at the next
election.
Presidency Also at Stake.
The real issue in Ohio, however, is
not the governorship, but the presi-
dency. Not only did the Democratic
convention propose Judson Harmon for
the nomination in 1912, but the Repub-
lican convention accepted the challenge
Thus the fight assumes almost the pro-
portions of presidential contest
Should Harmon win he will almost
certainly become the Democratic stand.
Ird bearer two years hence, while
President Taft will be Inundated and
to some extent discredited by a repudi-
alton in his own state. Should Hard
ding be successful the result would
universally be regarded as the elimina-
ton of Harmon and the triumph of
Taft.
On state issues it has been generally
conceded that the Democratic governor
had an excellent chance TO succeed
himself, yet 1t must be remembered
that on national issues Ohio has been
uniformly Republican. This makes the
outcome more uncertain.
Nor do the complications end here.
The insurgent movement and the pop
ular feeling against the tariff law are
new factors the strength Of which can
noe as yet be measured. Then, too,
Theodore Roosevelt has announced that
he will make no speeches in Ohio this
year. In view of the defeat of the
Garfield platform what Interpretation
will the country place on his silence?

Another Parallel Seen.

Again Harmon's path paralleled that
of Mr.. Taft, who some years later be-
came secretary Of war in the cabinet
of Theodore Roosevelt. The govern
or's friends insist that the parallel is
to go further. In being elected presi-
dent in 1908, they only insist that
Taft beat Harmon to 1t. All of which
makes 1t more than ever plain that it

born in 1916. Both are graduates of
