,.s'r.r ..tgrr. arrived AT th" Waldorf
y,-~'"r.lJ, Iwp wears ago Mr.. White
C,r." wliL.u - Votes IT h-inG IN" Con
r.. miu from th,. roCArIhhed R-publi-
e. Fifteenth district uf Ohio. lie tried
a. .lu 'ul~ year and VAS swept into Office
on such "a wave that thr effect took him
of his feet AMI III" first thing he knew
he was bound fnr tn-days hig football
gam, wh.r" I~ "A rs man he Will root
for Princeton. He got u plurality Of c,0,o.
Congressman elect " hlt.' Is in the crude
oil business. though lie once spent a re-
munerativ" two years in the klondike
and met Rex Beach
L didn't expect sn much said Mr..
White. referring To the election majority.
Z knew had Con ngrcssinan Joyce beaten
by 800 or 900. and then came along that
landslide. What fooled everybody on
majorities was tn" boltine of the farmers
on the issues Of taxation and graft. Gov.
Harmon had exposed graft and had
recommended a tax limit Of per cent.
but recalcitrant Republican Legisla-
ture had made the rate >, per cent. with
o CLAUSE which gave il the privilege OF
making IL more when necessary.
Il spoke with Harmon three times and
noticed he drove this last point in pretty
heavily. The farmers believed he was
right. In Ohio We have one OF the rot
tsnest tax laws in the United States.
Harmon made the point that the officials
would spend what they got. no matter
how much it was. and that IL this was
limited they would get along with what
was collected.
-Of course believe Roosevelt was an
issue In Ohio. introduced Harmon In
~. - .E.l ~. Il. "a
was a very strong point. He had figured
out that guilt was personal. IL 10 well
known that he had told Roosevelt several
years ago that the trail OF guilt in the
Santa Fs case led TO the Cabinet. When
Roosevelt came into the State he said
Harmon had played politics. l said In
my speeches that any time a minority
party made struggle to protect the
peoples interests the party in power al.
ways raised the cry OF playing politics
Roosevelt making that charge against
Harmon on the next TO the last day Of
the campaign added =. .OOO or $4,000 10 the
Democratic majority.
Harmon carried Licking county. in
which is Newark which the prophets had
figured would go against him. The
Columbus matter did not hurt him. for he
took the stand that as Governor he could
only interfere 10 protect l!fe and property
and could not force a settlement and this
course was approved by the State"
Another arrival al the Waldorf was
-X-Congr.ssnan Henry L Bannon OF
Portsmouth. Ohio. who after four wears
in " ashIngtnn went out two years ago Az
IA. result of what h.. considers primary
Vaccinations. Mr.. Bannon was loyal
I" the Republican party this year and
cannpaigned for Harding with all his
might. but yesterday he seemed far from
uhkafpy H- was able To give a view Of
things in Ohio from another standpoint
than. MAT of Mr. White
y, The result Of tn" elections generally |
simply showed that th,. people do not re-
gard this AZ one man country. said Mr. :
Bannon I'm th. Ohio campaign every ,
thing worked against ~" Republican
party. Ih" farmers voted against 1t on
account of th" graft there has been in III.
state Hous". The residents Of cities and .
towns voted the democratic ticket be- .
caus- they were dissatisfied with IN.
higher cost OF living. But the campaign .
WAS fought out principals on loCal lss,les
Harmon not only cam" out of u very
crediiably but h" ALSO left himself IN 4 .
sale position when 1t comes To- "a nomina-
tion Tor m" Presidency. heCaus" h- was
nov forced IN n" chmpaign Ia d"ciar" him
self on any Federal question.
Roosevelt dat m" Republicans no good
by buttIng into ~" campaign ! think
his abuse Of Harmon turned a great many
people to Harmon. who knew th. man
and that what Roosevelt said about hIm
was in rlerirei. Nor do think that m"
