AN INFAMY.

The proposed law to authorize an IL
literate voter to request any person to
go into the booth with him and mark
bis ticket for him, is probably intended
to enable the political heller and graft
er to see that the goods are delivered
when he buys vote The title of the
bin should be TO facilitate the buying
and selling Of votes. - Mansfield Enter
prise.
The Caucasian has already denounced
this infamy in vigorous words, and it
has scanned closely the columns of the
State press in the hope Of noting some
expressions of protest, but in vain. The
Mansfield Enterprise. at least to our OBJ
servation. is the only newspaper which
has alluded to this vicious bill, and
should It become operative, there will
be revived the debauchery of the cleo
torafs which finally led to the enactment
Of ~the primary election law, but which
has been tempered with, more or less,
at every session of the Legislature. This
infamy should Be defeated, as should be

HARMON OF OHIO.

Judson Harmon has been renoninated
for the Office OF Governor Of Ohio. He
is the candidate of the Democracy OF
that State and is being groomed fol
the presidency. In the convention the
proposition to endorse a candidate for
the United States Senate was hooted
down, and at the same time there was
an attempt to discredit William Jen-
nings Bryan, who favors the nomination
OF United States senator's by primary
81 ction. It has been charged that Bryan
has hten trying to dictate to this con
vSntion, which is not true The fact is
that Harmon is a straddler and will, if
he can, evade an issue. As other men,
Harmon may not be entirely free from
what is called the influence of the sys-
TEN, which dominates the Republicans
and the Democrats alike. Harmon, as
a Democratic possibility for President
Of the United States, may be pleasing to
his personal friends and to his followers
IN Ohio, but he is not impressing the
great body of the Democracy, who ad
fnire and respect Bryan. The kind Of
a man the people want for president is
one who is free from all political entan-
clements and connections with the sys-
TEN. Harmon is not the man wanted by
the people.

TO AID AGRICULTURE.

New York State Association Organized
to Boom Farm Life.
The back to the farm movement was
formally and permanently organized
recently by the creation of the Agri.
cultural Improvement Association of
the State of New York and the election
as its president of William G. Brown.
president of the New York Central
lines and originator of the project to
transplant thousands of city workers
with their families on farms in the
state
The association was born at a meet
ing held in the Hotel Belmont, in New
York city. which was attended by
President Brown, William FL. Trues-
dale, president of the Delaware, Lack.
aWanna and Western road, and many
others from different parts of the
state who have taken hold OF the back
to the farm movement
In explanation of the purposes of the
association the following statement
was made:
assist in the various movements to at
tract attention to the opportunities Of
fered in agriculture in New York
state. the condition now being very
different from what it has been at any
time in the past, There are many
farmers who are successful from q
business standpoint, yet there are hun
dreds of cheap farms through, the
state which may be purchased for
even less than the buildings on them
are worth, while the land is capable
of producing valuable crops. These
farms and the high prices of all kinds
of farm products offer inducements
that should take many families into
the rural districts, making farm life
attractive and profitable"
In addition to electing a full set O
officers, committee was appointed to
enlist the cooperation of all organiza-
tons interested in the back to the
farm movement. Other committees on
incorporation and ways and means
were also appointed.
