Clearly That n Change I'm the Po-
litical Complexion Is Very Badly
Needed.
Anti-I


Republican votes to pass it, SO yeas,
and with "a Republican votes against
ii I'm the house, the anti-lobby bill
recommended by Governor Harmon
in special message is row before
the senate. 1t is the same senate
which by a party vote tabled Govern
or Harmon's anti-lobby message.
What do you s'pose the senate will do
to the antl-lobby bill?
Change In Subsidy Tune.
In his speech to the chamber of
Charles Nagel, secretary of COM
merce and labor in President Taft's
cabinet, advocating the ship subsidy
steal, was bold enough to say: at is
not ship building, but shipping that
needs to be protected"
Ohio! That is a change of tune.
Heretofore we have been told that
the ship building industry should
have this plumber IN order to pro-
mote the building of ships to carry
our exports to foreign markets. Now
we are told that 1t is not for ship
building but for shipping" that a
subsidy or subvcntion or steal under
any other name, is wanted.
The buccaneers on the high seas
Of frenzied finance are getting bold
er in their attempt TO play Captain
Kidd with the U. S. treasury.
Two Dozen TO Rcmcmber.
Put these names down in your
memory: Ash, Bowcrsox, Garfield,
Cobb. Crist, Dever, Oldham, Edwards,
Ertley Eubanks, Garner, Gregg,
Grinnell. Hatfield, Hawkins, Jones,
LcBlond, Moon, Pocock, Schaibley,
Scott, WILDER, Wilson. Wisener.
They are the Republican members
of the house who voted against the
Kempel anti-lobby bill. copied after
the New York anti-lobby law, as rec
commended by Governor Harmon in
his special message prompted by the
lobby scandal OF the session.
This is indisputable proof that the
state of Ohio needs Legislature with
/ n Democratic majority in the house
as well as the senate to aid Governor
Harmon in his efforts to eradicate
acknowledged evils.
i Don't forget that fact when you
vote next November for representa-
/ tive and for state senator, no matter
who the candidates are.
One As Bad As T'othcr.
/ Almost every day something hap
| pens in the Ohio legislature to prove
that the senate is worse than th'
i house, and that the house Is as bal
as the senate.
II Governor Harmon's present ad
ministration has been great success
in spite of n hostile legislature.
What we need at Columbus Is q
Democratic majority In both houst
and senate to make Governor Har'
mons second term q comnlete sue
Il cess.
Hear and heed this slogan, "Har'
mon and clean sweep next time"
Stood by the Lobbyists.
There was just two dozen Repub
lican members of the lower house o
the Ohio legislature who took theil
l stand openly with the lobbyists wher
i the Kempel anti-lobby bill was
passed by that body.
OF the other SO Republicans In thu
house, some voted with the Demo
Gratis for the bill, and the res
"ducked" Not one Democrat in thu
house voted against the anti-lobb,
bill.
Republican papers are not tcllini
| their readers these facts because
that would be revealing to them thu
need of legislature at Columbus
L with a Democratic majority in the
house and in the senate to stand by
Governor Harmon.
