At the same time the Russian fourth

victorious, drove back the consider.

The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1914-08-28

for the ignobIe purpose OF oatchins
q few votes.
The standpatters declaim against
the commission form OF government
without offering word as to what
they would substitute for It, While
not denying that there was glaring
neglect of duty In the communities
with respect to both the liquor and
tax laws, they sneer at the effective
plan of placing the authority where
1t will be exercised for the public
/ good.
Adhering for years to the practice OF
executive appointment of election Off
police departments Of cities, they have
now in their last extremity thrown up
earthworks and raised the flag Of
home rule. In the summer Of 1912,
when the adoption OF the new consti-
tuition was the Issue, and the sole is
sue at the special election in Septem-
ber, where were the friends of home
rule then? Was the voice Of the dis
tinguished stand-pat candidate for gov
ernor raised in its behalf when home
rule was one Of the most important
amendments presented for ratifica-
tion? This late preachment is a pre-.
tense too hollow and transparent for
an intelligent electorate. In this con-
nection 1t Is well worth noting tina
during the present summer, while the
stand-pat candidate for United States
senatorwas delivering lectures in Ohio
on Alexander Hamilton and centrali-
Zation, his associate, as q candidate
for governor, was praising Thomas
Jefferson and his school of thought.
That single circumstance reveals the
whole line Of battle, infantry, cavalry
and artillery, that we are to face-a
mere mass of pretense and hypocrisy.
The Democracy, after lending it's eff
forts to carry out the changes outlined
In the new constitution, now presents
as its policy an era of legislative rest
in our commonwealth.
The opposition is therefore COM
PEELED to accept or oppose that plan.
II 1t subscribes to it, then 1t implies
Its acquiescence in the wisdom of the
new laws. II It means to disturb
these measures, then it favors two
years more Of legislative activity.
The Democracy, in good faith, has
carried out the will Of the people. In
the administration Of the new stat
utes no one has dared to charge cor
ruption or irregularity. If the laws
are rooted both in justice and logic,
they deserve to be tested by their
friends-not their enemies.
With every confidence in the intelli-
gence and fair-mindedness OF our peo-
pie, l enter this great battle as your
leader without word Of defense and
with an absolute conviction that our
cause will triumph because it is right. |
