Harmon ON the Defensive.

Gov. Harmon, the Ohio Democratic can
didate for President. that his campaign
has reached the defense" stage. Some
how. It is over thought unfortunate II de-
fense and denial are needed prior to the
nomination. During the meeting OF
Democrats from every State at WASH
ington. last week. the Harmon home
bureau at Columbus put out a fervent
denial OF something that no one at Shis
end had ever heard about. and cared
nothing about. Then at the Jackson Day
banquet, Senator Pomerene of Ohio, who
was elected lieutenant governor with
Harmon. and peIected Senator by Har-
mon-nots the two prepositions-felt It
duty to do some more defending. espe-
cially against insinuations made by
Bryan. The Pomerene speech was made
so long after midnight that the press did
not handle IL or play up its significance.
That Pomerene took pains to almost point
at Bryan heightened the interest Of the
guests. who recalled that Bryan had
charged Harmon with being the candi-
date Of Wall street and the financial
interests. Pomerene plainly declared that
such charges were untrue, and looked
squarely at Bryan while making the
statement. and adding that Gov. Harmon
represented the best Democratic thought
In the country. This was practically
calling Bryan a liar. but the latter never
fiecked an eyelid while the castigation
continued. nor did he applaud when Pom
creme perforated" in praise OF Harmon
and every other real Democrat II ought
to be added that Bryan applauded every
other speaker.
