THREATENED WITH EX-
TINCTION AGAIN

The dear old Auglaize County Demo
crat is seeing spooks because there are
Democrats who prefer Wilson, Clark or
some other progressive to Harmon, and
is ready to read EN- out of its Palmer and
Bucker Wall street organization instanter
if two or three Of the small fry of the
State don't quit bossin' Bryan around
Listen to its wall
The press dispatches make bold to
say that Bryan is after all a candidate for
the democratic nomination for the presi-
dency. Much as we like, and greatly as
we admire the great commoner, we will
not support him for the nomination, or
the election, if he comes into Ohio at
the behest and under the guidance of
CARRIER, Durbin, ct al, including the
spurious backing of that renegade politi-
clan, the Cincinnati Enquirer

making profits Of from o to rs per cent
on their investment, decided to advance
the cost Of clothing. And, as a matter
Of fact, the consumers began to actually
pay increased prices for woolens and
cottons in anticipation of the increased
wages to be paid by the woolen trust,
before the announcement of the increas-
ed wages was made public.
Cotton prints, calicos and the like
have risen in price at wholesale in New
York City a quarter of cent in the last
ten days, and mill agents predict the
increases will reach cents a yard
This will make a difference of 5 cents
in an apron. and 25 cents in a house
wife's dress. Mems clothing is going
up, and women's and childrens wooden
dress goods are declared to be the next
in line. The increases, it is estimated,
will bring Approximately S12, 100000 in
to the Golfers of the WOODEN trust within
year. Thus an accommodating public
will bear the cost Of the strike and in
creases in wages.
The men who work such games as
these on both public and employees are
but handful in number They are just
few rich men who own or control the
majority of the stock of the woolen trust.
It is practically these few men, and they
alone, who are the sole benefciaries of
Schedule X
Again the query: How long are %, 900,
600 American citizens gotng to stand for
a wool tariff which taxes them outrage
ously on every stitch of clothing they
use merely in order that a few greedy
wooden trust magnates may be still fur
ther enriched?

BRYAN'S WELCOME
PLEDGE
THE Public, Dem. ]

William Jennings Bryan's annouce
ment regarding Governor Harmon.
Presidential aspirations is a welcome
pledge Explaining that Governor Har.
mon cannot be nominated without the
active aid of the Interests, and Justly
implying that his nomination would not
be democratic in any sense that could
make Democratic victory Worth while,
Mr. Bryan's editorial Ill the Commoner
of last week announces:
If Nebraska's Democracy instructs
for Harmon, Mr.. Bryan will refuse
to serve as a delegate lin case he is
elected, but will, instead, go to
Baltimore as an individual, and as an
individual do what he can to secure
the nomination Of a progressive
Democrat
This is full and fair notice to the in
terest, and all their political Office boys,
that they cannot battle the democratic
uprising in this country by annexing the
Democratic party. You who think diff
erently, read the history of your country
in the early ffties, when the slave
oligarchy did what the plutocracy of to-
day is trying to do Read that history
and be wise. Should a reactionary like
Governor Harmon be nominated by the
Democrats, Bryan himself could not keep
millions of his followers from voting for
the Republican candidate Not unless
the Republican candidate were a reac-
tionary like Taft; and in that case Bryan
could not prevent millions of his follow
ers from uniting with millions of LaFol-
lette's to defeat both reactionaries. No
third party would this one
be- 1t would be a spontaneously gener-
ated third party, like the Republican
party of more than half a century ago

Anyone who thinks those millionaire
woolen trust magnates at Lawrence,
Mass, are increasing the salaries of their
men, women and children mill workers
out Of the generosity of their hearts-and
out of their own pocket-books-are mis-
taken. They are making the American
people pay not only the amount of the
increased wages, but every penny of the
expense Of the long strike.

A FIGHT FOR MEASURE
STILL AHEAD

But simple as is the measure and great
as was the majority for it in the consti-
tutional convention, the end is not yet.
1t will be bitterly fought at the polls,
and from this date until the polls close.
The people of this state are not going to
secure the blessings that are bound to
come to them from the adoption of such
a progressive measure without a struggle.
Some indication Of the fight that will
be waged by the interests against the ini-
tiative and referendum may be had from
the fight that was put up against it in
the convention. Powerful interests with
millions of money back of them, great
corporations enjoying special privileges
with still other millions OF money back
of them, began warfare upon the in
itiative and referendum proposition from
the first day the convention was called to
order Dayton News, Dem.
And the News might have gone fur
ther, without any stretch of the imagina-
ton, and told the people that Governor
Harmon, the favorite of Wall street for
President, was against it, and went to
the trouble to repudiate it and the plat
form upon which he was elected Cover
nor in well advertised speech before
the constitutional convention.
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1912-04-05

Champ Clark may be able to read a
lesson of value to himself and the Dem
ocratic party in the presidential prefer
ence primary from the Wisconsin returns.
In that state, where the Harmon man
ayers withdrew our Governors name to
save him the humiliation of a good hard
bump, they induced Champs managers
to allow the Speakers great popularity
to be brought into the fight against Viii
son in order to pull Harmon's chestnuts
out of the fire. Had Mr. Clarks name
been free from the suspicion of a deal
with the Harmon managers, we believe
his showing in the Wisconsin primaries
would have been more to his liking.

Ask any Democrat II he can tell where

seasonable weather finds an avenue Of

knows, and satisfy the earneet Demo-
Gratis of Ohio that Governor Harmon
really has program of helpful and pro-
gressive policies which justify his Presi-
dental aspiration, it would be very much
more to the point than the attempts he
seems to be making to stir up personal
prejudice and to discredit Governor VIII
son, Champ Clark and Underwood

Let's see, the initiative and referen'
dunn proposal got ninety-seven votes tc
fifteen against i'll the constitutional con-
vention last week. It is called a pro-
gressive measure. It received this hand
some majority after weeks of discussion
and speeches of distinguished men for
and against it. Governor Harmon said
his little speech against it; Wall street
applauded. Democrats who had not for
gotten 1896 were not surprised when he
spit upon one of the leading planks Of
the platform upon which he was elected
to the Governorship. There's reasons
for the faith of Wall street in Mr..
Harmon.

Draws Caustic Letter from

Lincoln, Neb. - tSpeclal.) In al
open letter, replying to a communica
tion written by E. H. Moore, the Ohio
insurance commissioner, Mr.. Bryan
has set out some of the reasons why
he does not enthuse over the presi
dental candidacy Of the Ohio execu
tive, and why he refuses to support
him in his present fight.
Mr.. Bryan declares that proof for
the charges is hard to get, that cir
cumstantial evidence is all he has,
but asks, if men can be convicted of
murder by this means, why cannot
charges against presidential candi-
dates be sustained by the same kind

Inc Old Tree's Story

gathered their first little ones. and there apples and chestnuts had been roasted on cold winter nights while warmth glowed within. To the rear of the main house-which consisted of but one large room-had in later years been built two other rooms of wood. But they had rotted away and nothing but bits of board and slender beams remained to tell of their one-tfme existence. Only the original one-room log house stood, defying Time.
 Jack sat on the hearth stone. his mind running back to other days. It was balmy evening in the middle of April. and spring in that part of the world was far advanced. Trees were leafng and early plants were begin ming to unfold their blossoms. Jack went, in imagination, back many many years. He pictured the house as Grandfather had built 1t for his bride. Ah they had been two very brave young people, had Grandfather and Grandmother. They had wealth cred many a storm together, had built up a good home; had eventually grown to be what the world calls rich; had out-grown the "old place." and had made for themselves and family a better one. But there, in that one-room log house they had started out, hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder. Jack wondered how many young couples of today had the cour- age to fight their way through hard ships and dangers as had dear old Granddad and Granny.
 They alone could not have wealth cred all the storms" It was a low, aged voice coming from the wall against which Jack sat. Jack straight ened up and looked behind him. No one was there. They alone could not have endured" again said the voice. T and my brothers were of great value to them. We warmed, fed and sheltered them."
 Who are you that speak ?" asked Jack. wondering And dazed, for while the voice was distinct and near no creature was to be seen.

the occasion. She was very young and fair, and was. like all good moth CTS, proud of her baby. He was named Jackson"
 "Ah, my uncle Jacksonl" exclaimed Jack. He is Mammals oldest brother-fifty-fve last month. He's getting well along in years, Mamma says.'
 Yes, as people count time," re- piled the tree. And your dear grand parents are still living, kind, good folk! Why, I hardly knew the old gentleman when he came here two or three years ago to look over the old place. He was stopped and grey had grown old, like this abandoned house. But he is still vigorous and fine. And the dear old Grandmother! Ah, I have seen her, too, during the fieeting years, and she has changed. But in memory I shall always see her as she was on the day of the christen- ing of her first son. It was beauti- full picture indeed. An, times change; but we are permitted to keep pictures we love in our mind."
 The tree ceased to speak, and Jack feared 1t would not resume. But af ter moments pause 1t went on: There was the first Christmas in this
