The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1912-05-19

There is a stringent corrupt practices
act in Ohio, and this probably accounts
for the fact that up to the present time
there has been little talk of political cor
ruption on either side.
The campaign is being conducted, so
far as outward evidences go, upon le-
gitimate lines. The Taft people have
orators in every county, and they have
undertaken a Statewide newspaper and
billboard advertising campaign, to-
gether with prolific distribution of lit
erature and postal cards. The stump
speakers do not hesitate to fay Roos--
welt, but, upon the whole, the appeal
for Taft is along serious lines, EN-
phasiZing the achievements of his ad-
ministration, the cleanness of his rec
ord, the sanity of his conduct, and the
prosperity which the country has en-
joyed during his term.
These are all points which should
have their weight with intelligent and
thoughtful people, but whether they will
offset the lurid appeals which appear
in the Roosevelt advertisements is an
other question. One of the Columbus
papers, for instance, carries a black
type advertisement which insists that
the campaign is fight for human lib
erty and equality, and that Roosevelt
is the only man who can save the peo-
pie from being ground under the heels
of despotism. The trouble is that this
sort of thing carries weight with the
element which is most active On the
days of a primary election. In Ohio,
as elsewhere, the business men, the
lawyers, and other professional men
and the thoughtful and staid citizens
are for Taft Whether they can impress
their convictions upon a population
which, in large numbers, seems TO wei
come agitation and change, is still q
doubtful question.

voters. To secure this inadequate ex-
preston Of opiaion enormous sums
must be expended. It is estimated, for
instance, that in New York each vote
cast for Roosevelt represented an aver
age expenditure Of $40. In Ohio. II
only 50 per cent of the Republican vot-
ers go to the polls, the average cost will
be even higher. The probability is, Of
course, that there will be larger rep
resentstion of voters in Ohio than in
other States.
The Presidential primary doubles or
trebles the cost Of the election because
there are several aspirants, all work
ing and all spending money. When
the campaign between the two parties
begins the fight will be renewed and
then there viii be, all over the country,
orators and special >trains, literature
and campaign devices. One would
think that by the time the primaries
have been held the country viii have
been well drained of political eontri-
buttons. Certainly the amount of ex-
pense already involved is enormous, ard
il is made apparent that no one can
aspire to the Presidency in the future
unless he has behind him a treasure
chest that shall be like unto the widows
cruise of oil.
This being true, what is to- be the
outcomes The question is one that ere
long viii demand an answer.
At present, howeveS neither the Re
publican nor the Democratic managers
are INDUCING in philosophic reHec-
tons. They are meeting the exigen-
cies of the situation. They are, each
one of them, raising money somehow
and somewhere, and making such
struggle as they can to win the coveted
prize.
As to the result of the contest, every
thing on the Republican side will de-
pend upon the result in Ohio next
Tuesday. If Taft carries his own State,
as he ought to do, his denomination will
ensue. If he does not, Roosevelts Sc
lection will not necessarily follow, be-
cause there is widespread feeling that
he has engendered too much bitterness,
and that, when the people come to a
period of calm reflection next October
and November, there will be much hest
tation about giving any American the
third term which was refused by
Washington and denied to Grant
So, even though Roosevelt during last
week carried California and North
Carolina, and Taft added Tennessee
and Wyoming to his column. the poll
ticians everywhere are awaiting the
news from Ohio. No wonder, there
fore. that in that State there is activ-
ity day and night, with claims and
counterclaims appearing every hour.
