IN REPUBLICAN PARTY OF
OHIO IS GARFIELD'S PLAN

ocratic convention the progressive DEM
ocrats were ignored. | can see no hope
for better things from democracy as now

How is it with the republican party?
1t likewise has among its leaders some
who are allied with or represent spe-
cial interests, but on the other hand 1t
has progressive. aggressive leaders VINO
are the peoples representatives.
1.-The country owes a debt of gratitude
to the insurgents in congress who made
the fight against the domination of spe-
cial interests and who placed the COM
mon good above, party regulation.
1.-The real friends of conservation re-
lied upon insurgents and their progress
sive allies for the protection of the pub
lie domain against the assaults of special
interests.
'1nsurgent senators prevented the pas
sage of the Alaska bill which in its orig
inal form might have turned over the
untold wealth of Alaska to a favored
few"
Having dealt in a general way with ma
tional problems and continuing his euol-
ogy of the insurgents Mr. Garfield took
up special state problems. The recall.
regulation of corporations, workmen's
compensation act, the strengthening of
child labor laws, and the development
of a canal system were the principal
planks in the platform which he nnt
forward
In regard to the recall Mr.. Garfield
said
There is one method of dealing with
public service which demands our most
earnest consideration, namely, the yecal1.
I believe it to be the most direct. most
efficient way that the people have of
dealing with the unfaithful servant. 1t
is said that the recall makes towards
of public officials. / ask whether 1t is
any more injurious to the public well
fare to have an officer afraid of the
people than 1t is to have public officer
the servant of a. special interest"
Mr.. Garfield concluded his general de-
fense of the republican party with a
warning against the reactionary saying
THE real danger to the party comes
from the reactionary who is controlled
by special interests and the standpatter.
who because 1t is the easiest way, is
willing to return to the weak policy of
Laissez faire. To follow such leaders
means disaster

LANE DEFENDS
RAILROAD LAW

Berne. Switzerland. July 11.-Frank-
lin K Lane, member of the American
Interstate commerce commission, at q
dinner of the English delegations to
the International railroad congress to-
night declared that Europe mischieved
the nature of the new American rail-
road law, which was less drastic tnan
the English law.
Congress" continued Mr.. Lane. has
not fixed uniform classification of
freight maximum, nor class rates on
a mileage basis nor terminal charges;
yet the English parliament fixed theirs
20 years ago. American legislation
is based on English precedents, but is
not nearly SO radical. The American
roads have realized that instead of
injuring the roads, the regulations
have helped them. All candid railroad
men acknowledge that the new law
will tend to the stability of securities" "
American, Indian, South African and
Australian delegates were present OF
the dinner which was presided over
Jointly by Commissioner Lane and Ev-
elyn Cecil head of the British dele
cation. Toasts were drunk to Presi-
dent Taft, King George and President
Comtesse.

Cleveland O., July 11.-Cheered by an
audience of progressive republicans as
the peoples candidate for governor of
Ohio" James R. Garfield tonight opened
the fight to place Ohio in the 'insurgent"
column. In a two-hour's speech, In which
he avowed himself 'insurgent' and
eulogized the section of Congress which
is known by that name, the former Sec
retary of the Interior set forth the plat
form upon which the progressive re-
publicans of this state will enter the
fall campaign.
The meeting was avowedly the christ
ening of the newly organized progress
sive republican movement in Ohio and
its slogan, as announced by Mr. Garfield,
is manhood first and property second"
The meeting was attended by delegates
representing practically every district in
northern Ohio.
Mr.. Garfield insisted that the control of
corporations was the most important
problem confronting the people at pres
ent, and urged that corporation officers
and directors be held directly responsible
loT COT pOfdtiOT dCtb. Iio dtoo oCSiditu
that public officials who accepted corpor-
alton funds for election purposes should
be subject to loss of office and permanent
DISC qualification from ever again holding
office.
Mr.. Garfield declared that the nation
stood today In critical situation so that
confronting the country was the prob
lem whether the fight of the progress
sives was to be. carried to a successful
issue or whether they were to surrender
and admit that government for and by
the people was failure. He said In part:
Like the prodigal youth, we as a ma
ton have wasted our resources, sold our
inheritance, acquired evil habits; but for
tunately, we have realized the need of
radicl changes In time to save ourselves.
"The democratic party while declaring
against special interests has when In
power, allied itself with special interests.
Many of its leaders have been and are
the recognized representatives of special
interests. In our own state the dem
ocratic governor failed to be on the side
of the people in the fight for public

POPULAR ALDERMAN FROM THE
SECOND WARD TO CONTINUE
TO SERVE THE PEOPLE.
Has So Arranged That This Step
viii Not Be Necessary. as He
Will Remain in the City Next
Year.

Tue friends OF Alderman W. H.
Bowen. one OF the popular represen.
tatives from the Second ward in the
city council, will be pleased to learn
that he is not going to resign his po.
sition in council in accordance with
rumor which was given circulation
day or two ago. On the ontrary,
Alderman Bowen is going to give
more time to the aldermanic job in
the future than has been the case
in the past few weeks, when mat
ters of a business nature necessitat-
ed his being ont of the city almost
constantly. His firm has a large
amount of work to do on Jekyl is
land during the coming year and
Mr.. Bowen will be here all the time
practically, which will not make it
necessary for him to give up his
seat in council. The firm of Bowen
& Thomas, who are among the lerG
est contractors in the south, have re
ceived several large contracts in 9th
er cities. but happily they will not
necessitate Mr.. Bowen's leaving the
city.
This will be pleasant news to the
people of the city generally for Mr..
Bowen has wide circle of friends
who would regret to see him sever
his connections with the city council
of which he is an able and hard
working member
