Columbus, o., Sept. 20.-Twclv
hours were spent in Columbus to
day by Governor Woodrow Wilson

opening of the democratic campaign
in Ohio, q luncheon with Governor
Harmon, Representative James Cox
the democratic candidate for COVER
nor, and state leaders, and a series ol
speeches and receptions. 1t was {
strenuous windup to the presidential
nominees first week of consecutive
campaigning. AS he started back tc
than pleased with the thrill OF cam
paignng and with the enthusiastic
greetings he had received.
Enthusiasm and demonstration
spread through the days events. For
the first time in his life, the governor
said, he saw what a political organi-
cation looked like. He saw the pre-
cinct organizers, the county organizers
and the state executives and with them
hundreds of co-workers,
From the meeting of the democratic
organization, the governor went to
the chamber of commerce and ad-
dressed meeting Of educators from
all parts of Ohio.
The candidate then addressed a
meeting of several hundred business
men. s
"One Of the most amazing fictions
Of our politics" said the governor to
them, lis that the democratic party
is not interested in the business life
of the, United States. When you reflec;
that the democrats of the United
States comprise about half of the
population, it is very interesting that
half the population should be sus-
pected of the desire to commit COM
mercial hari-kari.'
In attacking the idea of board Of
experts to handle the tariff question,
he said conditions were constantly
changing, with the tariff as often
some times as every twenty-four
hours.
You cannot touch one tariff sched-

culculable results in other schedules.
/ suppose that when you deal with the
wooden schedule for example, you
supposed that was all the woolen men
were interested in. But the Woolen
men, il | may credit what ! have read
in their reports, are almost as much
in the chemical as in the
wooden schedule.
Bodies of experts to guide legisla-
latlon have always been the machin-

commission was an example OF what

The governor said, 1.-THE leader of
