of Republican senators to vote for
their tariff measures, those same Re-
publieans have in every case enected
some increase of the duties over the
point fixed by the Democrats in the
House. But if Governor Wilson should
be elected it would mean also the
election of a Democratic majority in
the Senate, and then even the eompro-
misses effected by the insurgent Repab-
licans would seem mild reductions as
compared to what Democratic MAORI
ties in both houses would send to Mr..
Wilson fer his signature. and which
he could not refuse to sign.
What would happen to the pottery
industry if the Democrats were i'll
control of both houses and of the
White House? You and l know how
important that industry is to the well
fare of thousands of families in Ohio.
The men engaged in that industry in
the United States receive an average
wage of 24S cents an hour. In Eng
land they receive only IL cents an
hour and in Japan, one of our great
est competitors. only 1925 cents an
hour. Even with the present tariff Jap
an is sending hundreds of Thousands
of dollars worth of pottery into this
market every year, so that II Is MOI
hard to foresee what would become
of the industry were the Democrats
to win. When they were in power be-
fore they reduced the duty, in the Will
son bill, from 60 to 80 and 35 per cent
and what was the result? The men
in that industry. after being on strike
for several months, were compelled
to accept a I21a per cent reduction of
wages.
''Of course these facts are clearly
realized by the Third party. SO much
SO that some of their most prominent
speakers have not hesitated to declare
that the election of Governor Wilson
would mean financial disaster. And
yet they are working for nothing 9th
er than the election of Mr. Wilson and
a Democratic Congress. From asbo-
lutely dependable sources information
comes to me that none of the leaders
of the Third party believes it has the
slightest chance of success and that
they realize that a vote fer it meaas
a vote for the Democrats. But they
are, most of them, so filled with hatred
for the Republican party because it re-
fused to accept their dictation that
they are willing to bring disaster up
on the whole country simply to graf
ify their revenge.
Under such circumstance l am
sure you can appreciate, my dear Mr..
Goier, how pleased I am to learn Of
the splendid work you are doing You
probably saw the Republican estimate
of the vote in New York You may
accept it as trustworthy. The great
reserve force of plain, practical com
mon sense of the American people is
asserting itself and that means victory
for the Republican ticket, on Nov. o.

Ban on BARRIERS
At Naval Academy,

Washington. Oct. 29.-Word was receiy-
ed here, today, that the officials of the
Naval Academy at Annapolis had virtu-
ally ordered cadets not to patronize the
barber shops of that town, either for the
purpose of being shaved or having their
hair cut. Nothing was known of the
order here. but it is supposed that the
recent. death of Midshipman Julian b.
Bishop of New York from bleodpoisoning
as the result of a razor cut on his face,
sustained in a barber shop, furnished the
reason. No complaint yet has been forth
coming from the student body, but the
navy department expects to receive heat
ed protests when the football season
ends. The great majority of the students
shave themselves but hair cutting offers
a different problem.
