Bryan Will Have Hard Time.
IL is possible. however. that Bryan
may ignore State issues and the state
ucket entirely. He will have all he
can do. many believe. II he devotes his
ATTENTION solely to a defense OF the
democratic tariff. which has closed
many business establishments in Ohio
ana thrown thousands OF employees ous
OF work or placed them on short time.
FARMERS and worklngmen are not
I especially pleased with the results of
the Underwood revenue bill. and some
strong arguments will be necessary to

Practically the only criticism the
: Progressives have made of the Demo
Gratis concerns their stand on temper
ance, although they have pointed out
that the Democratic party. which has
talked so much about good roads. alb
! solutely ignored the question in its
l State platform.
ProgressiVes Allied With Democrats.
Inc Browne Cox progressive Demo-
cratic alliance. which put so many
Bull Moosers into once as a reward
Tor their splitting up the Republican
party. is still in force and naturally
makes II somewhat embarrassing for
lhe Progressive campaigners to say
anything very mean about the Gov
ernor and his State machine.
The Republican attack on the Cox
/ administration is centered in large
measure upon his usurpation OF the
powers of other departments OF the
State government. The slogan Home
Rule. which was the battle cry OF the
! Democrats last year. has been
dropped: the people have not been
permitted to name many OF their Of
I hoials. especially members OF the
: liquor license and taxation boards. the
! appointments being made direct from
| Columbus.
Governor Cox's troubles are grow.
/ ing. One OF his newspapers criticized
the Commercial Travellers a short time
ago. and the Indignant "drummers"
have adopted resolutions denouncing
/ him in the strongest terms.
Then the insurance men became
aroused over an editorial eriticIzing
them and they too. II is said. intend

ernor tefore the campaign Is over.
