HARMON GAINING
GROUND IN OHIO
Conditions Point to His Lead
ing the Other Presidential
Aspirants Now

Columbus, Ohio. Sept. 5.-One of
the supreme joys of politics in this
state is to have the initiative and ref
erendum held up before the proletari-
at every election time as the one
burning issue and then defeat any
one who seems to be for it. at the
polls. 1t has been so for years. Now,
however. along comes the supreme
court of the state and says that poll
ticans shall go back to kicking each
other and that there is to be no more
kicking If the initiative and referen-
dunn, for there isn't going to be such
q thing.
Invoking the ordinance of 1886, the
highest Ohio court says that nothing
but Republican form Of govern
ment will be permitted under that
honorable and revered document, and
that return to anything like a pri-
mitive state of pure Democracy is out
of the question. The whole thing
came up when a doctor refused to re-
turn to the editor of the vital sta
tistics bureau the fact that there had
been birth in the family Of one
of his clients. The doctor contended

to make such a report unless he was
compensated. The legislature made
no provision for compensation. Now
the supreme court says the doctor Is
right, and goes farther, covering
ground not directly raised. and takes
Q terrific whack not only at the in
taative and referendum, but the re-
call as we'll.
Notice to Progressives.
Some Of the extremists say the
court purposely met the initiative and
referendum arS recall more than half
way. SO as " give notice that any
movement along that line by the
"progressives" would avail nothing,
az it would be upset the first time it
got into the Aforesaid court. It has
created a big political furry, for tAe
one big subject-outside of the liquor

TARIFF ED WAS A GOOD ONE.

Dear Sir: Your editorial in the
Weekly jeff of Jan. 10, 1911, "The
Tariff Again-And the People Should
Bring a Test Case" has been read by
me with great interest. 1t is a repeti-
ton Of my own thoughts, and if |
had known how to say it, | would
have said it before you said it.
If you will bring a test case in this
matter or have some other good law
yer who has the matter thoroughly at
heart to do So [ will pay twenty-five
dollars ($25.00) towards helping de-
fray the expenses in the case.
[ am no lawyer, bat have read the
Constitution of the United States
few times, and have studied law in a
general way just a little, and it has
been my opinion for a long time that
the protective principle embodied in
our tariff laws by the Republicans
and assistant Republicans was uncon-
stitutiOnal, and that a test case
should be brought before the Su-
preme Court of the United States.
The judges of the court may favor
the protective principle, personally,
but the Constitution seems so clear

your stand. | have had and talked

you should write similar letter to

ANOTHER PLEA FOR A FEARLESS
DAILY PAPER.

Dear Sir: Within the last month
l have met and talked with many
JeMersOnian Democrats, and all en-
dOrse your present policy, and express
a willingness and desire to uphold
your hand to the extent of their abil-
ity. And further, they all say it's up
to you to take advantage of the al
ready exposed and the now being
judicially exposed, dishonesty of our
dailies. To give us daily that is not
afraid to give us the news.
I'm Veteran, both of the Con-
federate cause of 81, and also of
the Greenback cause of rs, and
am now past seventy-six years
Of age. Seriously now suffering
for the third time in my life from
the effect Of a purposely precipitated
financial panic and ! more firmly be-
lieve now than when / learned, SO
years ago, that ''The National Bank
ing System is more dangerous to
the liberties of the people than a
standing army, and that the money
question is the virtual issue to be
settled and will eventually be either
peacefully, at the ballot, or forcefully
at the point of bayonets when a nat
urally short crop and famine, and an
artif1cially and purposely inflicted
panic strikes the country one and the
same year
But, my friends say, no one suffers
from panic who keeps out of debt
and they give what they call good ad-
vice Don't Borrow Money
[ answer while we are presumed to
be on a gold financial basis, it's all
presumption. We are on debt basis
the U. S. does not produce gold but
borroWs little, giving the note OBJ
legation (Bonds) of the whole peo-
pie therefor, and upon this bond bas-
is rests our whole financial fabric.
All the bonds, natural treasury
notes, greenbacks, silver certificates,
national bank notes, etc. are obloga-
tiOns Of the U. S. and as such are ex-
empt from taxation.
Now [ ask, suppose we ALL. every
body refuse and refrain from borrow
ing money, what would be the result?
Within year or two there would be
no money in circulation, for the tran
saction Of business; the effecting of
exchange. Why? Because outside of
the money paid out to defray the cur
rent eXpences of the government,
there is no other way to get money
in circulation, except through Dor
rowing it, and as all that is expended
to defray governmental expences, is
drawn back into the treasury
through taxation, there would be no
money for any other person, conse-
quently, if no one should borrow
go in debt-all would suffer Yours

Hon. w. j. Bryan, Lincoln, Neg.
Dear Sir: Permit me, please, to
commend contents of this cOmmuni-
cation to your deliberate perusal,
which may be employed or suppressed
whenever and wherever you think
best, copy of which | shall mail to
Hon. T. e. Watson, of Thomson, Ga,
for the same purpose. A thorough
Investigation will verify the truth of
my allegations.
The Mcmillan, Taylor and Patter-
son combine, backed by the whiskey
and railroad interest, defeated the
great Carmack for an endorsement in
1906, to which he was entitled by
Democratic precedent and every sense
of justice.
The foregoing combination and
their immediate friends elected Tay-
lOr as United States Senator in 1908,
Patterson as governor at the same
time, and promised to support Nc
MILAN against Frazier for United
States Senator in 1911, which they
are doing.
IN 1896 Tillman polled about 153,-
600 votes for governor, but the ma
chine counted about 100000 votes
for Taylor, who pushed a measure
through the legislature requiring con-
testants to make $4,000 bond to
cover cost of contest in event con-
testant lost, thus preventing Tillman
from exposing before a Democratic
legislature the imposition practised
upon him.
By subtracting $4,000 votes,
polled for Taylor in 1910, supported
by the above named combination,
from about 100000 votes counted for
him in 1896, we find a difference of
$4,000 votes against him. 1t was
Taylor who voted for free lumber
and iron ore in the Denver conven-
ton, and then supported protection
measures on lumber and ore in the
United States Senate. We hope to
defeat Taylor for an endorsement in
1912.
A majority of the law-abiding
Democrats and Republicans united to
drive from power the laWless element
of both parties, together with
minority Of laW-abiding, but mis-
guided citizens who supported him.
In the classic halls of Congress the
great Carmack-great in achieve

providing the greatest good for the
greatest number, and greatest in the
establishment Of a good character for
the benefit of generations to come
established an international reputa-
ton for elOquence in delivery, power
in argument and honesty in purpose,
second to no man of this or any other
nation.
The lamented Carmack not only
saved the people untold millions of
dollars by fighting the Ship Subsidy
bill to death, and did them a distinct
service as author of the measure
making the initial road responsible to
shippers, but he caused the govern
ment to discontinue the use of the
offensive word, Rebellion" in it's
reference to our Civil War
Carmack will live in history, statue
and the hearts of the people long
after his would~be traducers have
been forgotten. Shot in the back of
the neck-the story goes to immOr-
talize Carmack and damn his foes.

New State Board Declares There Is
No Need for Such an Official at

Salem, Or, Jan. 13.-Dr. j. D. Pla-
mondon, appointed by Acting Cover.
| nor Ja- Bowerman superintendent o.
the eastern oregon branch asylum ye
to be built at Pendleton, was late yes
terday afternoon removed from of
flee by Governor Oswald West anC
State Treasurer T. B. Kay, the new
members of the board governing the
state institutions.
DIR. Plamondon was notified of the
intended action of the board soon af-
ter Governor West was inaugurated
last Tuesday. 1t was conveyed to
him from the governor through State
Senator c. A Barrett of Umatilla, his
father-in-law, that his resignation
would be accepted. DR.. Plamondon,
however, answered by stating he
would resign if he were assured by the
board of a place on the staff of the
new institution when that staff is Sc
lected by the board. This neither
State Treasurer Kay nor Governor
West would promise and the action
taken by the board this afternoon fol-
lowed.
A copy of the resolution removing
DR.. Plamondon of Athena and giving
the reasons of tie board for his re-
moval follows:
Whereas: 1t would appear from
the records that the position of su-
perintendent of the eastern oregon
branch asylum has been filled by the
appointment of DR.. J. D. Plamondon,
and
whereas, it would appear that at
the present time the state has COM
petent and efficient staff, thoroughly
familiar and acquainted with needs
and requirements of insane hospitals,
which are willing to assist and advise
the board without extra expense to
the state in all matters pertaining to
the plans and procedure necessary in
the construction of said branch asy-
lum and preliminary to its active op-
Grafton, and
Whereas. it would appear that
there are no duties the performance
of which at this time requires the
services of a superintendent,
Therefore, be 1t resolved, that the
said DR.. ]. D. Plamondon be removed
from said position as superintendent
of the eastern. Oregon branch asylum
and that said office be left vacant
until further orders of this board.
