GENERAL GRANTS SON
OUT FOR WILSON,.

Jesse r. Grant, son OF General
Ulysses S. Grant, commander in chief
of the Union Army in the civil war
and Republican president of the Uni
ted States from 1859 to 1877, has de-
c1ared for Wilson and Marshall. In
an open letter he states his reasons
in part, as follows:
"Veri1y, believe that the prin-
ciples for which Woodrow Wilson is
fighting are the principles for which
my father fought, and that he alone
among the presidential candidates
measures up to the standards Of cour.
age, conscience and capacity Of the
leader whose hand my father helped
to uphold.
"Old voters, as we'll as new, beg
of you not to be deceived by names
and prejudices Open your minds to
the trust and vote for its light"

BRYAN ENDORSES cox.

Colonel Bryan, In his Memorial
Hall speech at Dayton Saturday
night, called attention to the COM
mandlng position that the Third
district had taken In the United
States. He said II had been
placed on the map by James M.
Cox.
"Your retiring congressman
and Incoming governor has put
the district In the ilmelIght," said
Colonel Bryan.

simply because he is a man Of

believe his heart is with the peo-
pie.
HE has the courage to take
chances no matter what the prob
able cost. He has done splendid
service In helping to make the
initiative and referendum and
other progressive policies a part
of tho constitution of your state.

this beneficial measure"
Mr.. Bryan said that when pro.
gressive measures were dis
cussed, persons opposing progress.
slve legislation had often re-
marked that only few lnconse-
quenuaI Western states had
committed themselves to such
governmental policies.
"But we have crossed the Rub.
icon," said the Commorer, "and
Ohio has taken us across. In fu-
ture when we talk of progressive
legislation we will be able to
point to Ohio and proudly say
that she is leading the way. In
this Cox is one of your foremost
leaders. He has earned his re-
ward. He deserves we'll of you"

(From the Cincinnati Enquirer,
October 19)


Confirming the straw vote poll OF
the Cincinnati Enquirer in every re-
spect save in the proportionate
strength Of Col Theodore Roosevelt
and President Taft, announcement
was made today from Democratic
state headquarters of the result of
careful poll of 500 precincts of the
state, taken under the personal di-
rection of Democratic State Chairman
W. L. Finley. 1t shows, if it ap-
proaches correctness, that the order
in Ohio will be Woodrow Wilson,
Taft. Roosevelt, Debs.
"On the basis Of the figures, if the
same vote is cast as in 1908, Wilson
and Cox will carry the state by up.
ward Of 100000, insuring the election
of every candidate and sweeping
nearly every county in the state.
"The care with which the poll was
taken precludes the possibility Of Sc
rious error in the view of Democratic
leaders, who point out that Demo
Gratis have only to go to the polls and
the victory will be theirs. The pre-
cincts polled are very widely scat
tered and are situated so as to reach
every class of voters in the state,
country and city, rich and poor, work.

Everywhere the story is the same.
Democratic lines are solid against
warfare of both Republicans and
PrOpressiVes-Bul Moosers seeking
o2ly to eliminate each other. The
surprise in the poll and condition
not found by The Enquirer in its
careful straw vote, is the poor show
ing made by Colonel Roosevelt. He
is poor third, and is receiving but
precious few Democratic votes.
"For the governorship, the strength |

candidate, is very small, and he is

TARIFF ROBS MANY
FOR The RICH FEW
U. S. SENATOR o'eoRMAN TELLS
OF EXToRTIoN PRAcTIcED
ON THE MASSES.

ut is now generally recognized that
for many years we have had an in,
visible government outside of the
constitution" said U. S. Senator
oGorman of New York at Toledo re.
Gently.
Tariff laws were passed, not for
the benefit of the people, but for
the enrichment of friendly trusts
and combinations.
"I has been estimated that the ben.
efciaries of this system have for
years taken $2,0U0,000,O0O annually
from the pockets of the consum.
ers of the United States 1t is
not surprising, therefore, that they
could afford in the first Nc.
Kinley campaign to contribute to
the Republican party from $12,
100000 to $16,O00,OOO, and in the
second Mckinley campaign from ST..
100000 to $9,000,000
at is estimated that the present
tariff law imposes a burden of S115
annually on each family in the coun.
try. OF this amount SIC goes to the
government and 500 to the protected
interests.
Various pretexts have been offered
for this so-called protective policy
They sought to justify this unjust
system on the plea that it was nee
essary to protect American labor
But it is now well established that in
the best protected industries of Amer.
lea the workmen receive the poorest
pay. The shoe industry has the low.
est protection, only 10 per cent, and
the workmen in that industry are the
best paid in the country.
"They talk about protecting the
workingman when they tax his food,
his clothes and the furniture in his
home; when they make him actually
compete in a free trade market, be-
cause labor itself is in a free trade
market So with the farmer. He has
never derived any benefit from the
high tariff.
"In the discussions in relation to
the Canadian reciprocity year ago,
in the senate it was repeatedly de.
clared by Republican senators that
while the farmers had been maintain.
ing the protective system, they have
never derived any benefit whatever
from it. Everything the farmer con-
nh hO oafVa11Hy
duces, is taxed His farming imple-
ments, made by the American trusts,
are sold more cheaply abroad than at
home
"In 1910, when the American peo-
pie had an opportunity to pass judg-
ment upon the broken pledges of the
party, large Republican
majority in the house was turned into
a Democratic majority A Democrat
ic house, hearkening to the demands
Of the people, passed tariff measures
to eradicate the evils Of the
present system, but the president
saw no inconsistency in vetoing these
measures one after another.
owe demand tariff revision, be-
cause the present tariff is unjust to
he people of the United States
That is all the Democratic party |
claims. Indeed, all the parties are
agreed that tariff revision downward
s necessary. We were all agreed on
hat proposition four years ago, BY
he vote at that time, you declared |
,ou wanted a revision downward.
You did not get it. The Republican
,arty broke its promise to give it.
Will you trust that party again? If a

YOUR SPOKESMAN, NOT

Here are the closing words of
Woodrow Wilson's address which
brought to their feet the great
audience In Carnegie hall, New
York, on the night Of Oct. 10:

ton OF individuals. 1 do not be-

The price of coal is simply out
rageous, a recent advance of over
a dollar per ton being utterly un'
called for. Each handler of the
fuel blames the advance on some
other department. Wheresoever
the fault may lie, som cone is
reaping an e1orbitant profit from
this necessity of life, and a rigid
investigation should be made.
