1t was late in the afternoon when
the herd, which was in the far corner
OF its Enclosure. began to move to-

irisking and bucklng, for the cool air
was raising the temperature OF buf-

Arrogant and defiant the young bull

up against another bun it's own age

Mooney BadIy MmddIcd.

Having been speaker Of the house
the past two sessions, there is no ex-
cuse for the Misrepresentation in
dulged in by Mr.. Mooney, Republican
candidate for secretary of state, in
his speech at the campaign opening at
Kenton.
Mr.. Mooney quoted that part of the
Democratic platform which accuses
the present Republican legislature of
opposition to the governors efforts to
purify the public service. Then Mr..
Mooney said: "There was never a
falser statement than that set down
in a party platform" The only thing
wrong with Mr.. Moneys assertion is
that 1t Is not true. lie tries to prove
his statement by citing an appropria-
ton made at the session this year of
100000 to be used by the attorney
general in the prosecution of graft
cases. Yes, YOU will find 1t recorded
In the last session laws as the first
act OF the assembly. as Mr. Mooney
says. But IL was merely placing at the
disposal of attorney general u fund
for prosecuting graft cases which Gov
crnor Harmon uncovered unaidcd by
WV ossofbsN S'hN'aI vi
legislature and then handed over to
the attorney general with orders to
go ahead.
But how about the session of this
same Legislature two years ago, with
MIR. Mooney as speaker Of the house :?
No matter what this legislature may
have done at the last session as a
sort of eleventh hour repentance for
its former record, the entire special
session of the legislature two years
ago was notorious for its opposition
and many outbursts of personal hos
tility to Governor Harmon. The at
tempt to appoint a committee to COM
plete the investigation of graft at Gin
cinnati was met with the hiss Of
peanut politics" by Republican lead
ers and thwartcd. The attempt to pry
into the state-house scandals was met
with the same hiss of peanut poll.
ties from Republican leaders. Every
recommendation the governor made
was responded to by the partisan Re
publican leaders with that same hiss
of peanut politics" And the bill
which Governor Harmon asked to
give him and his successors the power
TO investigate state OFFICES ana lnstl-
tutions, was torn apart and put to-
gethcr in such mangled form that
when il was finally passed it provided
only that the governor could name one
member of a committee of two, the
lieutenant governor to name the 9TH
er. to make such investigations II
found necessary, and the bill was so
worded that the governor could not
even call witnesses to testify. II was
such a monstrosity that Governor
Harmon vetoed the bill.
Mr.. Mooney Is very unfortunate In
denouncing the charge made In the
Democratic platform, for the shield
he undertakes to set up between the
people and the record of the legisla-
ture during its first session Is too
thin and too gauzy to conceal the
truth.

The speakers will be Governor Har-

lieutenant governor, and r. $. Hogan,
candidate for attorney general
In the selection of Canton as the
place for the campaign opening a
special compliment was paid Governor
Harmon's running mate. for that Is
Mr.. Pomerene's home city. To honor
their fellow townsman and to attest
their active interest In the Democratic
cause the Canton Democrats will do
their utmost to make the formal cam
paign opening complete success
The speaking will be in the big
auditorium, which is acknowledged to
be one of the finest auditorlums in
the state.
BE sure to go, If you can. And
don't be selfish about task your
Republican neighbor to go along. This
year Republican voters are just as
anxious to hear what Governor Har-
mon has to say as Democrats are,
They want to hear from his own
mouth the story of what he has been
doing the past two years to fulfill the
promises he made in the campaign OF
1908. Besides, Pomerene will have
something to say as interesting to
them as to Democrats. And 80 viii
