improvement in Republican strength In
the last two weeks continues until Elec-
ton Day the Republicans will sweep the
state for both the national and the local
ticket.
And as Ohio goes" he said, $50 goes
the nation, for this is a typical citizen
ship and It's influence will sway the opin-
ion Of enough states to decide the Presi-
dency."
Thousands Of voters who month ago
intended to cast their votes for Governor
Wilson, fearing that Colonel Roosevelt
might be elected. Mr.. Daugherty declared,
were turning back TO the enthusiastic
support Of the Republican party and
President Taft. He added:
/ have never in my life seen such a
change in the political situation In a
period OF sixty days as has taken place
In Ohio iE the last ten days. Republicans
and voters generally have their eyes open
now and know that this Is not personal
controversy between men, but struggle
for the preservation Of party, party prin-
ciples and the most important things that
are beneficial to business conditions and
the prosperity Of the country.
