Ohio Political Pot Begins to Bubble.

= The political battle has opened in
earnest down in Ohio where this year
may be expected some of the hottest
engagements of the campaign. Col
Roosevelt's son-in-law, Congressman
Nicholas Longworth, who is further
distinguished by being chairman of
the Ohio Republican state committee,
Tuesday at Columbus set forth the
issues that are to be kept before the
voters in the campaign. He spirited
ly defended the Payne tariff law and
declared that the Republican party in
on that issue He said that they
could not dodge it if they would and
would not if they could. 1t had been
won in honorable, open consideration
of the country's interests and de-
mands. and the law was demonstrate
| ing the wisdom of its builders. He
declared the Republican party re-
sponsible for the measure and that
they are not ashamed of it; that the
Republican delegation from Ohio in
both houses, with one exception, had
voted for it, and an Ohio Republican
President had signed it. He went on
to say that the Payne law had been
fortified by tariff commission which

out its functions.
| Congressman LongWorth paid his
| material nominee who has also nomi-
mated himself for the Presidency, Jud-
son Harmon. He said Judge Harmon
| is a strong man and must not be I'M
derestimated. He characterized the
Democratic leader as a big. forceful
| indvidual; keen, shrewd politician,
always on the job; man of unlimited
J ambition, with amazing confidence in
| himself and in his lucky star
But Mr. Longworth declared that
| there is one thing in Judson Harmon's
career that disqualifies him for the
Presidency-his years of activity as
an advocate of the interests of cor
porate wealth. He drew sharply the
contrast between the judicial training
| of President Taft and the schooling of
| the Democratic ticket head. He point
ed out the impossibility Of man like
| Harmon bringing to the Presidency
that single minded devotion to the
| interests of the people which it is
their right to demand.
Congressman Longworth expressed
| the sentiments recently found in
| Kennebec Journal editorials, that the
forces in this campaign must clash on
principles first, but that personalities
cannot be wholly avoided. Against
| honors the figure of William Howard
| Taft stands out for comparison. The
nations people have learned to recOg-
nize his lofty purpose and iron will.
| They have learned that they sized him
up wrong. AS Mr.. Longworth said,
they mistook his good humor for
weakness, his patience for pliability.
| Events have shown his strength and
sagacity, his fixity and honesty of
purpose.
Mr.. Longworth in closing again
voiced the Journals proclamation that
the Republican party's program is one
of progress, in contrast to the Demo-
cratic one of reaction

How to Live 100 Years.


Lo and behold, a physician comes
forward with the announcement that
it is as easy as falling off a log to live
to be 100 years old. He says all you
have to do is don't drink alcoholic or
malt liquors eve don't in Alabama),
don't smoke. go to bed at 10 O'Clock
and get up at O'Clock, sleep soundly,
don't worry about making money 1--WE
don't-we worry about not making
it,, do nothing in excess, the simple
life all the time, don't get excited 1--WE
don't over anything except elections
and prize fights, eat only when you
feel inclined Cor have the price-this
has no reference to newspaper men
who never eaD, and precious little
then With the exception of paren-
theses this is really serious advice
and YOU would do well to heed it if you
wish to live to the century mark
However. as for us, we wouldn't swap
one hour of good, golden glitterins
time on pay night in Montgomery for
whole century of such a simple and
uneventful existence.
