WIN BIG VICTORY IN OHIO
Prouressves Elected to Constitution
al ConVentino BY Big
Majorities.

Washington, D. c., November
The campaign for popular government
has won a notable victory in Ohio, the
native state of the President. The
victory is particularly significant in
that it involves the adoption of prin-
ciples which have been roundly de-
nounced by the President in many OF
his speeches.
Ohio is to have a constitutional con-
vention shortly. The candidates for
delegates to this convention were di-
vided into two classes, the conserva-
tives and the Progressives. The Pro-
gressives pledged themselves to re-
wise the constitution along the lines laid
down by the Progressives in Congress
and who subscribe TO the spirit of the
speech of Senator Jonathan Bourne,
known throughout the country as
Popular VS., Delegated Government. -
The Progressives were elected by an
overwhelming majority and now the
people of Ohio are assured of consti-
tuition which will provide for the initia-
tive, the referendum and the recall.
Ohio's selection was notable, also be-
cause it marked the downfall of one of
the most notorious political machines
in the country. When Mr.. Taft was
Secretary of War, he denounced Boss"
Cox and his political machine. This
year the Cox machine put up munic-
vailed upon to make public a letter
announcing his intention to vote for
the machine candidates, notwithstand
ing his previous condemnation of the
machine. He excused himself on the
ground that conditions had changed,
but twelve of Cincnnati's most prom
inent citizens followed the Presidents
letter with a statement that conditions
had not changed in any particular.
Opposed to the Cox machine candidate
for mayor was District Attorney Hunt,
who has been fighting Cox in the
courts and at the polls for many years.
The voters of Cincinnati ignored the
President and elected Hunt mayor.
Ohio also elected Democratic mayors in
Cleveland and Columbus, as protest
against machine politics and the
Socialist vote was increased through
out the state.
Massachusetts furnished a striking
example of the temper of the country
on national issues, and stand pat tar
if platform was rejected
President Taft was personally re-
sponsible for having the Massachusetts
campaign made on national issues.
Four days after the extra session of
Congress adjourned, the President went
to Hamilton, Mass, to defend his

vetoes of the cotton, woolen and far
mers free list bills. Republican lead
ers were making plans for their state
campaign and the President appealed
to them to vindcate his tariff record
in the following language:
''You have a state election lmme-
diateIy before you into which it seems
to me national issues ought to enter.
We have just finished an extra session
of Congress and the matters considered
were of such Importance to the Com
monwealth of Massachusetts that do
not see how the people of the state can
withhold an expression of opinion on
them"
/ The President then criticised the cot
ton and woolen bills, and denounced
Senator LaFollette, whose bills were
accepted by the Democrats and passed
by Congress for the Presidents sigma
ture In his speech, he said:
"Under these conditions, men of
Massachusetts, it seems to me that
the slogan of your party should in
volve national cry and not be con-
fined to mere state issues.
Acting upon the advice Of the Pres
ident, stand-pat platform was writ
ten by United States Senator w. Muir
ray Crane, and on that platform Louis
A. rockingham, the Republican can
didate, made his campaign. That the
people of Massachusetts reelected
Governor Foss and rejected the Pres
ident's stand pat issue is now a matter
of history, and history of character
certain to play prominent part in the
nomination of a Republican for the
presidency.
Philadelphia, like Cincinnati, saw the
downfall of a powerful political ma
chine on November T. United States
Senator Boise Penrose, chairman OF the
senate committee on finance, stand
patter, and opponent of all progressive
measures, put up George H. Earle as
his candidate for mayor. The candl-
date of the people. running as an in
dependent, was Rudolph Blankenburg,
the leader of countless battles against
machine politics in Philadelphia.
Battling against what seemed to be
overwhelming odds, Blankenburg was
elected, and by the same token Pen
rose was humiliated
Taking the elections as whole, the
Progressives in Washington are might
ily pleased and cheered They see IN
the returns that the voters are show
ing a discrimination which augurs we'll
for their cause in the future. They
see display of independence in voting
which they are certain will bring about
the nomination of Progressive at the
next Republican National Convention.
They see the downfall of political
machines everywhere, and they see
stand-patsm repudiated, even though
urged on the people by the President
himself. 1t is because of these signs
that the Progressives are cheered py
the elections of November 7th.

 Following as it does her widely read novel, The Awakening of Helena Richie Mrs. Deland launches forth on her subject with an incomparable :.est that from the beginning enlists the sym pathies of all those who loved and read of Helena and David.
