and mailed from the governors
Office in Columbus, was sent in re-
sponse to letter from Pollock.
1t says:
Il have read your letter with in

is law enforcement. AS the consti-
tuition and statute stand they are the
expressed mandate of the people

GERS and citizens as long as they re-
main. There is no difference be-
tween neglect of the law by public
officers and an attack against our
institutions by the bolsheviki. We
contend, and properly so, that there
is no need OF revolution in this
country. because we have the gov
ernmental facilities to change the
existing order by rule of the major

San Francisco, June e. ne nomi-
nation of Governor Cox signalizes
the surrender OF the democratic
party into the hands of the reaction
aries on both the liquor question and
the financial question generally. A
candidate, like all individual, is to
be judged by the company he keeps,
and Governor Cox's company leaves
no doubt as. to the view entertained
by him and by those interested in
tie manufacture, sale aud use of in
toxicating liquor and by those who
represent big business, hut while the
two most dangerous elements in the
country have taken control Of the
party for this campaign, it does not
mean that either element will sup
port the ticket.
The republicans have nominated
a wet candidate on wet platform,
although the wet element in their
convention was not so roisy or i'm
pudent as it was in San Francisco.
Big business will not te interested
In electing the democratic candidate
1t was simply interested in prevent
ing the nomination of any one who
could wage a campaign against its
interests.
Wall street will do this year as it
did in 1904; viz, throw our candi-
date overheard and support the re-
publican ticket.
When the dry democrats ran away
from their greatest moral victory
and allowed the convention to dodge
the issue, it invited just such a
nomination as has been made. With
dry plank we would have elimi-
mated all wet candidates and then
proceeded to select the best avail
able man among the dry candidates.
1t remains to be seen what posi-
ton the candidate takes on the
treaty questions Not having re-
ceived the support of the admins
tration, Mr.. Cox may not give to
the platform the same interest as
the president or his intimate friends
would have given.
Now that the fight is over, the de-
feated candidates will have an op-
portunity to review the past and
note the mistakes made.
