Fuller Not Likely to Retire.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 11.-Chiei
Justice Fuller today celebrated his
18th birthday and was the recipient
Of a flood of congratulations from
his colleagues on the supreme bench
and from many other friends in pub
lie life. Although he has been legi-
BILE for retirement for seven years, ii
is not regarded as likely that the
chief justice will take advantage OF
the privilege for some time at least.
He is apparently in excellent health,
and the prevailing opinion here is
that unless his health should sud-
denly fail, he will probably remain
on the bench until after the next
presidential election, when the ques-
ton as to whether there is posi-
bility of a democrat succession will
have been determined.

REPUBLICAN PAPER
SUPPORTS HARMON

The Cleveland News is known as a
staunch Republican paper. Two years
ago the Cleveland News ardently sup
ported Harris for governor. This year,
although 1t opposed Harmon two
years ago, the Cleveland News has
turned from Harding to Harmon as its
preference for governor. =
An editorial appeared in the Cleve-
land News Of Monday, September 26,
boltiDg Harding and favoring the re-
election of Governor Harmon. The
editorial is given below in full, but
there is one expression in 1t which
needs word of explanation to set 1t
right. 1t Is the reference to "The gov
ernor's attitude on the public utility
measure" This measure never came
to the governor for action by him one
way or another. 1t was introduced in
the house by Republican as a party
measure" supported as party
measure" and passed the house as a
party measure" In its early stages
1t was called President Taft's special
measure for the Republican legisla-
ture of his home state to enact as a
basis for party credit in the state cam
paign this year. 1t passed the house
without opposition on the Democratic
side in order that it might be put up
to the Republican majority of the
senate.
The Republican majority in both
senate and house had 'played horse
with Governor Harmon's tax measures,
his central board bill and other pro-
posed legislation recommended by him.
The senate had a Republican majority
sufficient to pass any party measure,
there being 20 Republican senators
and II Democratic senators. The utili-
ty bill having been made so notorious
ly party measure" the Democratic
senators passed up to the Republican
majority the entire responsibility for
It's passage or defeat. When the bill
came to a vote in the senate it was
really defeated by Republican senators,

for as many Republican senators voted
too, that advice came from Taft him
self to kill the bill. Responsibility for
defeat of the bill, therefore, rests pri-
marily and finally upon the Republican
side of the senate.
The Cleveland News editorial, which
was entitled, "The issue in Ohio this
Fall,' follows in full:
"Both sides have now presented
their case to the voters in their open
ing speeches and in their platforms,
and comment seems almost superfiu-
GUS. The wideawake voter is capable
of deciding unaided which side to
espouse. The issue is plain, namely,
performance VS.. promise.
"While the administration of Gov
ernor Harmon has its weak spots not
ably the governors attitude on the pub
lie utilities measure, on the whole he
has given the state one of the best ad-
ministrations in its history. 1t has
been conspicuous for efficiency, econo-
my and honesty. On his record, as a
whole, the governor is clearly entitled
to the thanks of the people and their
support for another term.
Warren G. Harding is an able,
clean and forceful man, and he has
made many fair promises. We have
no doubt he would, if elected, do his
best to redeem them. Unfortunately,
however, he is committed by his
speeches to the reactionary element
of his party, which means the bosses,
over whom he was supposed to have
triumphed at Columbus.
"He defends the Aldrich tariff with
its provisions for plunderipg the peo-
pie for the benefit of the trusts. He
sneers at the progressive movement
which has for it's object the retire
ment of the bosses and the enactment
of legislation that will benefit the peo-
pie. Ia short, very much to our regret,
we are constrained to say that his
whole attitude surprises, disappoints
and disgusts."
