OHIO INSURGENTS BRAND GARFIELD,
PROGRESSIVE LEADER, AS GUTTER

The failure of the Democratic
state convention to endorse county
option is disappointing" says Bryan.
Still the fight has not been in vain.
1t has helped to secure a declaration
favoring the initiative and referen-
DUN by both parties and no doubt
such a necessary amendment will be
submitted to the next legislature.
"We must now secure county op-
tion delegates in every state assem-
bly, district. If the Democratic con-
vention had endorsed county option,
it wouldhave eliminated the necess.
ity of a state campaign, but even as
it is, there is no reason why any
vote for state officers except that of
governor should be influenced by the
candidates attitude on county OPP
tion.
'I believe the Democrats have the
advantage in the discussion of ma
tional issues. Every legislative can
didate should be urged to support
the candidate for United States SEN
ator receiving the largest vote un-
der the Oregon plan, thus eliminat-
ing the option question in securing
senator. The Democrats ought to
elect snator. There is no reason
to be discouraged and lose interest. {"
Minnesota Dems Follow Suit.
, Minneapolis, Mimi, July 2S.-The
Democratic state convention is ex-
pected to nominate John Lind for
governor if Lind will consent to run.
Lind has the solid backing OF the
opponents of local option and they
can easily control the convention.
Though 1t is the desire of small
minority to make local option one
of the issues at the convention, It Is
believed that the question will be
ignored altogether.
The platfoEm probably will in
clnde plank favoring initiative and
referendum.
The keynote speech Of the conveu-
ton was delivered by Congressman
Hammond, who strongly denounced
the Aldrioh-Pa tariff law.

none of the benefits of the act de.
spite the fact that in contributions
to the reclamation fund it was only
surpassed by one state-North Da-
kota.
When the act came up for consid.
Grafton in congress the Oregon dele
cation in congress was severely crit
icized for permitting it to be passed
without registering a protest against
it. 1t was contended that its pro-
vision were unfair as the state which
happened at the time to have the
most irrigation projects under way
derived the greatest benefit from it
regardless of the extent of it's col-
tributions. 1t was insisted at the
time that the fair manner in which
to distribute the benefits of the act
would have been to base them upon
the amount contributed to the re-
clamation fund by each of the states.
The Umatilla project embraces
10000 acres.

Columbus, o., July 2S.-This "a
the day of the political crouch In
Ohio. Following the Republican
state convention yesterday, insur-
gents today are accusing James r,
Garfield, looked upon as the pro-
gressive leader of the state, of quit
ting"
The nomination of Warren Hard
ing for governor is regarded as an
indication of the temperance of
former Senator Joseph B. Foraker
into politics, and this means, ac-
cording to the wise ones, the down
fall of Senator Burton and, the nor
thern Ohio Republican leaders.
Incidentally the disgruntled Re
publicans-of whom there seem to
be an abundance in all parts of the
state-are predicting the slaughter
of the party at the polls this fall
and a clean sweep for the Democrats.
President Taft is reported greatly
pleased with the work of the con-
vention.
Popular rumor here says that
Theodore Roosevelt. who openly ex'
pressed the wish that progressive
platform be adopted does not like
either the candidates or the plat
form.
All in all, the Republican leaders
today seem to be engaged in 6
game of cross purposes.
Harding, who hes been a consist
ent stand-patter, is one of the
strongest supporters of Foraker, and
has long ben one of his close friends

to the amount OF $19,625 fall due
and must be paid. There was no
provision made for any Of these In
the levy.
Seven thousand dollars have tenn
porarily been borrowed from the
bank, and there are $1,000 in cash on
hand. Should the taxpayers not de-
sire an bond the district for the sites
and repairs, which amount to $1O.-
900 and $4,000. respectively. it will
be necessary TO make levy to pay
the residue next fall.
The bonds. however. must be re-
funded, as no provision has been
made for their payment.

Foraker candidate and 1t was be-
lieved that he stood the least
chance of the three regular candi-
dates for the nomination. That he
received enough votes to win Is be-
lieved by politicians to indicate that
Foraker has "come back" Further,
1t is limited that 1t may presage an
alliance between Foraker and Cox.
which is strong enough to control
the party in the state.
Foraker's chief opponents come
from the northern end of the state,
where Senator Burton is regarded az
the leader of the regulars. The
nomination OF Harding, therefore.
is considered an indication that war
between Burton and Foraker may
break out, and that the northern
leaders probably would get the
worst of the encounter.
The insurgents are perhaps the
most disappointed of the factions de-
veloped by the convention. They
are openly saying today that II Gar
field had not quit he had an excel
lent chance of winning the nomina
tion, and that IL he had carried the
platform flght to the floor OF the
convention, the regulars would have
been routed and the insurgents
would have swept the convention.
