HON. JUDsou HARMON, GOVERNOR OF OHIO.

made record of accomplishment IN
paralleled in the history of Ohio poll
tics. He has wrought more progress
for the people than was accomplished
in the forty years that preceded him.
There has been written into the stat
Mtes legislation that the enlightened
citizens had been demanding and plead
ing for in vain for decades.
The supremely important achieve.
ments of the Ohio Democracy under
the leadership of Governor Harmon
may be divided into transactions and
legislations;. first, for the elimination
Of graft; second, such reform in the
tax system as will protect the tax
payer from the tax spender and will
compel corporations to stop lodging
taxes and pay along with all indf-
v1dual property owners; third, the ap-
plication of business methods and
economy in public expenditures. and.
fourth, the enactment Of purely non
partisan laws for the benefit of the
entire people, irrespective Of political
parties, and designed to make rule by
interest seeking corporations extreme
~ difficult and rule by the people easy.
After he became governor two years
ago Mr.. Harmon quietly began his in.
vestigation of the methods by which
public money had been loaned by Re
publican state treasurers. He learned
they put interest earnings in their
pockets. There followed in rapid order
suits against the estate and bondsmen
Of W. S. McKinnon, former state treas
ufer, for S116,7S5 and interest thereon !;
against former State Treasurer /. B.
Cameron and his bondsmen for s211.-

Instead Of being places where the PEG.
pie could turn to invoke the penalties
Of the criminal statutes on those who
had offended certain courts were be-
ing used, in cases where men Of vast
political power were concerned, to
shield violators from the vengeance Of
the law.
But.the general assembly took long
step forward from boss domination of
the courts by enacting a bill provid-
ing in the future that all Ohio judges,
from the digniied gowned justices Of
the supreme court down to the humble
laymen who sit as justices Of the
peace, shall be elected on tickets alb
solutely free from party emblem or
device. Nominations may be made by
conventions, but the power Of bosses
to control nominations was broken by
a clause In the bill which says that
nominations may be made by peti-
tons. There is not another such law
in the United States
Ohio has been hampered by the
crude, unwieldy machinery of a con-
stitution which was adopted in 1851,
and the subject of making a new Or
ganic law is the biggest and most i'm
portant proposition that has come be-
fore Buckeye general assembly in
many years. Selfish hands We're being
outstretched to get control Of the con-
stitutional convention to be held in
1917 when Governor Harmon took
charge of the arrangements for it and
succeeded in getting through the gen.
eral assembly bill which will remove
the delegates from political influence

er. on graft charges in lesser degrees;
the settlement Of an interest claim of
over $500 on funds carried in the
bank for former Republican State Au-
ditor Walter d. Guilbert and the filing
of a claim for over $31 900 with the re-
ceiver of a defunct bank at Columbus
as an interest charge on funds carried
in that bank by Mr.. Guilbert as au-
ditor
These revelations during the COVER
nor's first term awakened the civic
conscience and paved the way for his
subsequent reelection. The Democrats
captured the general assembly at the
same time.
Then Governor Harmon renewed his
efforts in behalf of certain bills two
Republican general assemblies denied
him.
The most notable achievement &C.
complished by the executive during the
legislative session was the enactment
of the Wyman bill, including the Ore
gon plan of nominating and electing
United States senators.
A conference committee was appoint
ed to frame compromise senatorial
nomination and election bill. II would
vote for a Republican for United
States senator if the people by their
votes declared for a Republican," the
governor told this committee dur
ing the conference. Il would be
proud to do 1t. I would simply be
doing the will of the people" One Of
the committee suggested the Oregon
plan was undemocratic. The executive
replied, Its the very essence of De-
mocracy to put the government back
into the hands Of the people and let
them say whom they want for United
States senator"
Governor Harmon took a new tack
and had a similar measure offered in
the house, the Wyman bill. That
body passed it and sent IL to the SEN
ate, where the governor finally got
sufficient Republican votes to save it.
Ohioans had demonstrations recent
ly that their judiciary, one Of the most
sacred institutions of a free govern
ment, had been invaded by party boss
es in their inordinate thirst for power.

~OL U NJ B L S, O.-ISpeciaLl-
When the bribery charges
" against members OF the OHIO
general assembly exploited with
the suddenne>s ana force OF BOMB
and sent scores on i liant fer lawyers
Governor Judsoa Harmon took the
same view Of the personality OF Guilt
that he did when he reported to Pres
ident Roosevelt that Paul Morton. Il
member of his cabinet. had been guilty
OF granting rebates. while an officer
Of the Santa Ie railroad. Guilt Is
always PERSONAL said Harmon to
Roosevelt, and he resigned his com
mission to investigate rebating be
cause Teddy was inclined to shield
Morton.
A few hours after the bribery charges
were filed the Ohio executive sent out
an order that no man should be spared
in the legislative boodiing investiga-
ton. Party and even personal friend
ships must be set aside, the governor
said, and the entire situation cleaned
up.
Throughout ninetecr years of con-
tinuons control Republican state adj
ministrations. when charges OF irreg-
ularities were made involving members
of their party. assumed the attitude
'"They are our thieves. and We must
defend then." There is IN Ohio stat
ute which grants immunity to every
one who testiies before a legislative
committee, and this law, together with
a whitewash brush, had prevented any
Republican law yiolator from being
hailed before court of Justice.
Naturally there was Il great rush by
distraught members for legislative
immunity But Governor Harmon
promptly pulled the plug Of the i'm
munity bathtub and prevented any
one bathing in its soothing waters by
insisting that no legislative Investigate
ing committee be appointed and that
the inquest of the grand jury be the
only probe.
Indictments were returned against
seven members of the general assem-
bly, and the sergeant-at-arms of the
senate, and these cases will take the
same course as that of the most hum
BILE citizen who becomes involved in
criminal charges. A coterie of Demo
Gratis who had been fighting he gov
ernor's bills were among the members
indicted.

as one of the ablest lawyers in Ohio
In February, 1910, ten months before
the state election in Ohio, when JDdson
Harmon would go before the people
for re election, Ohio Republicans by or
der Of President Taft held harmony
meeting il Dayton. The Republicans
Mt DAYTON did not talk of helping Pres
ident Taft or Of restoring the Repub-
lican party; they talked about the
chance of defeating Governor Harmon,
and they did not talk hopefully. I'm
consciously they paid patent tribute
to the real strength of the nan. 1t
suddenly revealed the tremendous sue
cess of Governor Harmon andhis COM
plete mastery Of the political situation
In Ohio. The plan Of opposition out
lined in Dayton has never cessed. No
governor has ever been opposed by so
strong a force as Governor Harmon.
During his first term Of TIVE years

revenues were reduced 100000 year
by voting out saloons and several hun
bred thousands of dollars were added
to the wrong column by the abolish
ment of prison labor contracts Har-
mons arms We're apparently tied, and
his enemies laughed at his discomfort.
The governor promptly reduced public
expenditures. Then, instead IF a gen
eral levy, the proper enforcement OF
the excise laws provided $500000 addi-
tional every year. The establishment

goods and the concentration O. author

Voters like to support and

many localities where the el 6fs dis
played remarkable discrimination in
honoring exceptional men with an ex-
ceptional vote. This explains why in
a strongly Republican state Judson
Harmon was elected governor Of Ohio
two years ago by plurality Of 1882
in the face of a Republican plurality
of 69,591 in the vote for president.
On his record as governor of the state

for reelection and in the face of a
strong Republican sentiment to COM
bat, Governor Harmon nevertheless
was given majority Of 100000.
Ohio repudiated her favorite son.

campaign that Ohio will set q prece-
dent for all other states to follow when
they come to rewrite their organic laws.
Nominations Of delegates win be
made by petition only, and nominees
will be elected on ballots absolutely
any form Of party designation. The
liquor question, which has been q sore
spot in Ohio for sixty years, will be
finally settled when the new constitu-
ton is adopted
The state when Governor Harmon
grasped the reins of government had
nineteen penal, reformatory and benev-
client institutions, with the responsible
fty Of governing them divided among
nineteen separate boards Of trustees,
three members to board. They were
SO conducted as to secure neither econ
omy nor best results.
These trusteeships, all honorable
positions and eagerly sought after, had
been used as sort of currency to pur-
chase nominations and to repay the
boys who had delivered votes in con-
ventions. The trustees appointed SUI
perintendents and all subordinates,
and these combined to furnish the
dynamic power for the steam roller
which the late Mark Hanna and Boss
George B. Cox used to crush the life
out of rebellions against the rule of
the G.. o. P. machine.
Governor Harmon's idea was that
"the establishments which Christian
state maintains for charity are sacred
and that every selfish purpose should
perish at their DOORS"
Acting on this principle, the governor
framed and forced through the general
assembly a bill placing all employees
Of the institutions ranking below SUI
perintendent under civil service rules.
The nineteen separate boards Of trus-
tees and nineteen stewards under this
law were legislated out Of office, and
the duties of H. fifty-seven trustees
