Repeats Charges
Il think you are familiar with the
fact that | have made some charges
in this campaign. have charged that
an attempt is being made to purchase
and regardless of denials U did not
expect them to do anything else eX-
cept deny), l repeat the charge in
this presence, Pnd, l will continue to
press that CHARGE until the End day
cf November.
Il have been governor of Ohio sx
years, three terms, and / have never
thrown the uniform of soldier into
! the perspective nor the skyline of an
industrial controversy. And we have
never fred shot in Ohio for the
ipurrosc of settling an industrial
strike. Now. You ask me, was prop
erty protected? Il was. Was per
son protected? 1t was. Was the
law preserved? 1t was. Well, then,
how did We do it? We kept the bay
onct covered up. We never v5ed it..
We used in place the Golden Rule. 1t
worked perfectly. That explains the
large contributions Of some Of the
Big interests.
Discusses Labor
$50 long as men work for nIre,
there VIII be differences of opinion
between those who labor and those
who employ labor. Industrial dis
Dutes cannot be avoided, but indus
lsrial disputes can be prevented from
menacing the welfare of the nation
when both parties to the dispute Laa
be made to understand that govern
nent is fair and that neither one nor
the other may gain an advantage.
Public opinion rules in America, and
nublic opinion will always settle in
du3trial conflicts if the game be play
ed ir the open.
Labor should have the right to
organize, and, through representative
Of their own choosing negotiate col
lective bargaining. This right has
never been denied capital. Care must
be exercised that government at 10
time be made oppressive in maintain
ing the laws of the land. | have said
that rublic opinion will settle indus
trial disputes and to this end believe
thai government should provide for
proper iavC stigation in all cases, with
provision for the filing of the facts
without prejudice, so that the public
may have full information. The right
to free speech and free press and the
right Of orderly assembly, guaranteed
by the constitution must never be in
fringed.

problems to meet. They are of state
concern. They involve your homes,

children and our children's children.
