Our position is now stronger than

This was the only word OF the fight

that the real attempt TO open the
gateway to Paris is by demolishing

From now on II is onfy question
OF the size of the Democratic plural
fty in Ohio. The fight Is won. and
there is nothing that can take II away
from the Democratic party.
In an editorial last February, The
Banner stated that the Reactionary
Republicans were then engaged in
electing a candidate for governor. but
that II would be different In Noyem.
ber The words were prophetic. II
WAS plain at that time to anybody with
any political sagacity that the false
statements and misrepresentation
that were going out through the Re
dictionary Republican press would fall
OF their own weight. Their pubica
tion was based on the assumption that
the people could be fooled during the
many intervening months, thing
that no one but knaye or novice
IN politics would believe.

undertook too much in publishing the
