Ohio" said Or. c. NJ Gearhart. OF Ohio.
the president OF the GreenviHe Taft Re
publican Club, at Gerstenberg's. last
night.
The next governor Of Ohio viii be
Judge Kinkead. Of Toledo. He is not as
well known 10 the people as other candi-
dates may be. but he has done whole
lot for the benefit OF the Commonwealth.
He is responsible for the punishment Of
the ice trust IN Ohio.
Judge Kinkead is absolutely fearless
and. performs his duty as he sees IT,"
added DIR. Gearhart. He cannot be in
umidated by anybody and he has many
years Of active life before him. I under
stand that Senator Burton will not op-
pose Judge Kinkead.
Gov. Harmon is a good man. bat he
is not as invulnerable as one might i'm
sgine. on the contrary. he could not sur
vive a critical investigation in many
points. Gov. Harmon can easily be de-
feated II put in the field by the Demo-
ocrats."
St John Corners. Of Albany. y. z.
who is at the New Willard in speaking
Of ROosevelt's political future, said last
night that the people are getting tired OF
the rough rider. and that, therefore, his
political future would not amount 10 any
thing
The people Of this country and abroad
are getting sick and tired Of the Roose-
welt circus" said Mr. Corners "Roose-
welt has repeated himself in many in
stances. which shows that he has about
exhausted his resourcefulness. The news
papers have made Roosevelt and they
will undo him. As soon as the newspa-
pers begin 90 cut down the Roosevelt
stun, his star VIII set
Taft. so far. has proved himself
safe, judicious, and sane President AMI
every indication points 20 his reelection.
7 really do not believe that Roosevelt en-
tertains any idea 10 run against Taft for
the Presidency. am inclined 10 be-
lieve that Roosevelt has had enough Of
politics and public office"
Until Mr. Harmon's day. the Cleve-
land administration had manifested al
most no interest in the enforcement %
the Sherman law" said George < Ayres.
OF Cincinnati. Ohio. at the Arlington, last
night
He retired from Office before the coun-
/ try reaped the fruit Of his efforts. Under
I tho reign OF Hsnnaism, which Mr.. Bryan
and free silver forced upon the country.
. the Sherman act was again dead let
ter. But Theodore Roosevelt swung the
power Of the law against the Northern
I Securities Company, and established. be-
yond question, the authority Of the
I United States government 10 destroy all
combinations in restraint OF interstate
trade and commerce.
1t was Nj Harmon. too. who. as as
associate Of Frederick y. Judsor, Of St
Louis in investigating the santa Fe re-
bate cases. reported 90 Nj Roosevelt that
guilt was always personal. and that the
way 20 stop Relating was through Grim
Iinal prosecution Of the men who had vio-
lated the law. The President refused 10
accept MS advice.
Mr.. Harmon is a very able lawyer
he proved by his work as receiver Of the
/ Pe-e Marquette Railroad that he is like
wise a great administrator. He IS also a
/ real Democrat. He comes from what
was once known as one Of the great de
batable States of the Middle West. Gov
Harmon is the one man whom the people
OF Ohio cannot afford 20 set aside az this
time He has shown 20 the voters that he
fills his post honestly and periodically"
There is such a custom as limiting the
