Mr.. and Mrs. C. E. Mcclure of
Loudonville had a tragic race with
death and met with death on the way
as they hurried by automobile recent
ly from their home to Doylestown.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcclure were rush

boy II years old, who was dying with
lockjaw.
When they came to the bridge at
BahPs mill, they ran into the acci-
dent that took the life of j. w. Tay.

the ditch, and found the unfortunate
man. Like the good Samaritan, they
helped the injured man from the

SHAKE, BILL!

If, in 1912, Taft and Roosevelt told
the truth about each other, this is the
exhibition that was staged by the Old
Guard in New York recently:
Taft shook hands with "dema-
gogue," "neurotic," "hatterer," a
"honeyfugler," "friend of the steel
trust and the harvester trust" and
politician who had received cam
paign aid" from Standard Oil, Pen
rose, Cannon, Quay, Platt and Forak
er.
Roosevelt, on his own statement,
shook hands with the "upholder and
beneficiary of crooked privileges;
the associate of "Guggenheim, AL
drich, Penrose, Gallinger, Lorlmer,
Cannon and Mckinley; the man IRE
sponsible for the alliance between
crooked politics and crooked bust
ness" a "friend of the bosses; a
president guilty Of the most scan
dalous abuse Of the patronage; a
tariff-maker representative Of "spec-
ial privilege and special interest" (;
likewise with the former head of "a
government administered by Messrs.
Lorimer, Guggenheim, Barnes, Gal

the will OF the people,; and, finally
with the chief executive of "a gov.

1t now appears that when Hughes
came to Ohio to lambast the Adam
son bill he left the Republican state
candidates and committees bruised
and bleeding on the field. At stra-
tegic board meeting on Monday they
decided that he Adamson eight-hour
bill was not the campaign issue, but
that the cruel Democrats had at.
tempted to make such of 1t.
1t Is not impossible that the state
ment OF Senator LaFollette, In con
demnation OF Hughes, may have aid
ed in the decision. Nor Is II unlikely
that the declaration of James T. Ken
nedy, former Republican congress.
man of Youngstown, that he will
support Wilson because of the Adam
son act, may have had some inilu-
ence.
The declaration of Representative
Cooper in direct controversion of the
arguments advanced by Hughes and
his followers did not aid In party

granting tho indemnity companies
the privilege of writing insurance.
That's all there is to it. 1t is as
plain as daylight, and all the sophis-
try of the Mount Vernon Republican
will not delude the workingmen
Some more facts which stand uncon-
tradicted: Under Gov. Cox working
men were so we'll satisfied with the
honest administration of the law that
no effort was made to have it chang
ed. The administration of the identi-
cal law by Gov. Willis, whereby in
demnity companies were permitted to
enter the field, has caused the work
ingmen of Ohio to initiate measure
that will rule out the indemnity com
panies, and petitions with that end in
view are being circulated for sigma
lures in Mount Vernon as they are in
all cities of Ohio. These are facts
that are known to everybody, espec-
tally the workingmen, who know that
the humane law enacted for their
benefit under Gov. Cox was weakened
and its functions practically destroy
ed by the ruling Of the insurance
commissioner under Gov. Willis. 1t
is a big job the Mount Vernon Repub-
lican has on hand trying to fool the
workingmen and make them believe
ter for them under Willis than it
was under Cox. The workingmen
fully understand the situation and as
a consequence are initiating a mea-
sure to restore the conditions that
existed under Gov. Cox.

Butler, o.. Oct. 6-The differences
between the mayor and marshal were
given a limited airing before the viii
lage council recently and the petition
filed for future reference.
The petition contained 101 legiti-
mate names of voters. The mayor
read four distinct charges against the
marshal, and asked that the office be
declared vacant, for the reason that
no arrests had been made by the
marshal since May 20, and no officer
being needed, the claim was made
that the Office should be abolished.
The charges we're ordered placed
on file, until the next regular meet
ing when the entire matter will be
threshed out.
James Bumpus resigned as council
man from the 'steenth ward, as the
Office was about to be declared va
cant from non-attendance.

The endorsement of Charles Ev-
ans Hughes at a meeting of the Ger
snan-American executives in Colum-
bus has created storm of protest
among many Of the loyal Germans OF
the state It appears that the en-.
dorsement was not any way near
unanimous, aud that it did not ex-
press the opinion Of many Of the ex-
ecutiyes present. A movement is now
on foot among Germans TO revolt
against the alliance. Statement was
made at the meeting that representa-
tiVes of the alliance had held con
ference with Hughes at Detroit and
that results were satisfactory"
A recent development in this con
neCtion was the endorsement by a

That was a wise decision reached
by the state Federation of Labor to
oppose one of the two Republican
candidates for Judge of the supreme
court because of his opposition to all
tho interests that affect workingmen.
The only regret that may be express
ed is that they did not invite all citi-
zens to join them. 1t ought to be a
most pleasurable duty to keep men Of
the type of the man they oppose out
OF any judgeship and much more out
OF q supreme court judgeship. OF
course, the workingmen have q right
to oppose men who are so utterly re-
dictionary that they contend against
workmen's compensation. The toll
-ers have a right to show what may
be called q class interest but when
this interest is joined to decency the
right becomes stronger. They might
have opposed the other candidate.
He is a good-natured fellow and no
doubt would be an agreeable compan-
ION at a picnic or barbecue. But there
are too many important matters COM
ing before the supreme court to
trust the decisions to extreme reac-
tionaries and good-natured FOUNDERS.
Let the voters turn to those tried and
true, tested and trusted, imbued with
honor, dignity and courage, known to
be ever friendly to human rights and
alive and wide awake TO the changes
that modern conditions demand. The
need of the hour is the reelection of
Maurice II. Donahue and James G.
Johnson as supreme court Justices.
