Getting Together.
By James Boyle.

| ~ IVY
Covering the period of the las
) four weeks, the writer has visit
ed a number of counties in cen
trail Ohio, and he has had excep
tional opportunities of ascertain
ing the condition of political sen
timent. 1t is fair to assume thai
the conditions found to exist ir
central Ohio apply in genera
way to the state at large. He i;
impressed with the initial fact
that the people, the common folk,
are talking more politics than one
would infer from the newspapers
is the case. Impression No. 2 is
that there is a marked revival of
Republican spirit-a party optlm.
ism even approaching confidence,
which is in strong contrast with
the downcast pessimism prevail
ing year ago.
While this is testimony to the
virility of the Republican party
as an organization, that fact does
not give the full explanation of
the perceptible development of
political sentiment. There are
several phases of that develop
ment. The first is the unmistak-
able merging or coming-together
of the two branches Of the same
family, which, under the names
of the Progressive and Republi-
can parties, made a present
through division-of che national
and state administrations to the
Democracy. There has not been
any formal reunion any ef-
forts in that direction; there has
not been any killing of the fatted
calf, nor even a smoking OF the
pipe Of reace. Like Sherman's
advice that "the way to resume
specie payment was to resume"
so Republicans and Progressives
have found a wcy to re-unite-I
simply by re-uniting. There has
just been a quiet fading away of
the line of demarcation. That
the reunited brethren will per-
petuate the grand old historic
name of Republican" is taken
as a matter of course, without |
any incidental reflections attach. |
ing to the dissidents who voted |
for Colonel Roosevelt last Nov
ember. No apologies or explain
atoms are given or expected. |
The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1913-09-25

The basis of the growing but
quiet and almost unconscious
movement for coming together"
is a developing recognition of the
folly of men dividing on matters
that are not fundamental, the re-
suit of such division being the
turning over the government
national and state-to minority
party to which all these men,
though divided, are equally op-
posed on real vital questions of
public policy.
There is unquestionably a spe-
cial explanation of the revival of
Republicanism in Ohio in the de-
velopn.ent of antagonism to the
administration and personal pol
itics of Gov. Cox. This aspect
of the situation is emphasized by
the undoubted decrease of popu-
larity of the Governor among
Democrats. In this connection |
it should be kept in mind that |
notwithstanding the Governors
plurality, he is a mi
nority governor, and that he did !
not get the full Democratic vote.
From now On, the Governor must
not only face solid Republican
opposition - reinforced by the
tens of thousands of former Pro-
greSsives who refuse to be made
articles of political merchandise
by Walter Brown-but he is also
by Democratic dis.
content and even active repudia
tion. There are several reasons
for this development of antag-
onism to the Governor; it has as
Sumed the form of intense dis
ike for what is getting to be
known as "Coxism," and ii is
FOUNDED on a faSt-eXCendlng be-
ief that the chief executive is
;rying to build up a personal ma
hine-that he is especially using
The license and taxation meas
lres for political purposes in fur
;herance of his own ambitions,
and also that the Governor is u.s.
ng his executive authority to
,ubjugate the Legislative branch

altogether clear.
Many reasons can be supplied for

but in actual achievement he is in
ferior to Mr.. Underwood.
Underwood Is national figure who

dcavor fully deserves all that he has
won lie is n door OF things. and not

no living State executive has such a
