He lias boon for almost a score of years in tho house of representatives, what John Bherman was for a'"longer ' period in tho United States senate—a leader among leaders. Ho tyaa always • the friend of Sherman of Ohio. Hio name ■and his ancestry are -dour to all in thta rtato. He stands for what. John Sherman Gtaod. tvho could stand for more? Tho name «f Taft is especially dear to the people of 'Ohio. Judge Taft was born ■ and reared in our state and still lives in it. He is one of us. Be is- the son .of a great lawyer, Jurist tfwl statesman. His father was the legal adviser, as attorney general, of tho -immortal Grant, Both • father and son were secretaries of war. Ap a. lawyer, prosecutor, jurist, governor ■general and cabinet minister, ’William Howard Taft has -had a mare extended experience lit statesmanship than’ any- man livjng today, and he has been more’ than equal to all pf his public trusts. 1 Uhfair “N(ucK-BaklflB.w , For the first time Within a period of CO years,.in Ohio, we are to vote'at a presi­ dential election also for all state .officers, all'eounty officers, congressmen. Judges and members of tho legislature. We are, therefore, pn the eve of the most impor­ tant election that has ever1been held in our state. Under the circumstances every­ thing is a t stake except municipal and township offices. Our Democratic oppo­ nents have tho assistance, by indorse­ ment and-otherwise, .of the liquor leagues nnd all their allied Interests, Unddr these conditions the most desperate efforts are being made against the Republican state ticket. Ho human beings, either In or out of office, are Without -error,. Speaking from the knowledge of personal and offi­ cial contact, I am confident that the pres­ ent state officers are both competent and •. honest, and that my associate candidates On- the -Republican state ticket without exception are, worthy Of your most earn-, .cst support. Rome of them are being misrepresented and maligned in- a most unjust manner. To their credit it pan ,te said- truthfully, t—A none of the xbarges have beep sustained. ’- * After calling attention tb .the cir­ cumstances under Which, he assumed office, Governor Harris -reviewed a t some length th e financial condition o£ th e state under Republican adminis­ tra tio n and th e efforts made after ""Governor Campbell's term expired to , Improve, th e condition o f th e state” treasury. He mentioned th e various revenue law s passed by legislatures and congratulated the people of th e sta te on tho excellent condition, of the finances, Continuing, he saidfi What ThI* Me*h* to Taxpayer,' The enactment ofthese- lawn enabled the _ _ ntsde la ISOS to tripe out entirety the levy-f ^andird-b«Mer in Ohio' this y ew Aw genera! revenue purpose# of 1 h mills ■ - - ■* -- c«Pisr thw-fe«*ral expenses oat -tbs state taMtt y d gmia- , . of 164 mm® loft (toe levy remaKting against the dupii- eate of the state 3.J8 wBIs, which i# used entirely for the maintenance of - public schools and the universities, of the state, so that all of the taxes collected by the State on the grand duplicate at the state is Veturntd to the people for educational purposes, and th e individual taxpayers of •the state pay nothing toward the State rovernment and lta many institutions, lals expense being borne entirely by the excise, corporation and other privilege taxes.. I earnestly Urge, tho electors to adopt th e amendments to tkfi constitution relat­ ing to taxation, to the*time of meeting by the general assembly and to t.he technical -change In the' provision for the -veto power recently conferred on Uie governor.' The conditions in the yarioUB state institutions were reviewed and the work of -potting them on substantial business basis commended. Continu­ ing, h e said ; Democratic speakers are talking about "what was lost in reforms that tho late Governor Pattison stood fan" His rao* aromendatlonS certainly were for tiro most part followed by tho legislature, and yet these tame measure# are opposed by rise leaders of the Democratic party so dooa after his death. Governor Rattison died in 1906 with a'plea for county local option on his lips, In 1003 the Demo- rratic state convention not'only repudi­ ated hffi policies, but also refused to-show respect to his memory. There fa no ref- erer.co Whatever to Pattison in the Dom- cratic platform of thla yean And yet ha was elected after a succession, of 16 Dem­ ocratic defeats In stato elections),- and he won tho Only one on the Democratic ticket elected. Those who named tho head of the present Democratic state ticket are the same ones that secured ibis action through the committee on res­ olutions. Mayor Tom t>, Johnson a t tho time said „■ - "The liquor lntcrcnfa arcs in Columbus to- control tho Democratic convention. * * * It is a foolish attempt on the part of the liquor interests of Ohio to side­ track nil great issues and place tho whis­ ky label afl oVcf the Democratic party. * * * Tho Democracy of Ohio can not go before tho people With -a. Candidate for governor who is tut attorney for the brewing interests, and who is known ns the legal representative and railroad re ­ ceiver in Ohio of tiic Morgan Intereota in Hew .Yum 1* ' ‘ The false pretenses of the present Dam- Ocratlo managers are illustrated in this talk’ about Rattlam, when they- ate Itt league with those who reviled Mm and arc* r.ow seeking to undo ’alt that he had hoped to .accomplish. Judge Harmon in a gentleman of high standing profession* ally and every other way, ns was .Gover­ nor I ’attismr, and they wore personal friends. But Is his representative topac* j Jty as a candidate, Harmon appears to Stand for tho opposite of what Battteim stood for.

Democratic editors, managers and candi­ dates now want to insint that the tem­ perance question la not an issue with them.’ ft seerna to bo a very lively one with everybo. ,* clue. The Republican state platform is nei­ ther silent,-nor evasive, nor ambgluous on thlo important matter. I stand squarely and firmly on that platform: nothing more and nothing less. The plank on this question reads; "legislation relating to ■thp liquor traffic in accord with the pol­ icy, of high taxation for the saloons and local option for tho people,"- That -moans taxation as represented in tho Aikln law, qnd county local option as,well as local option In smaller units: no-more, no lens. The acts of tho general assembly of Ohio which received the strongest sup­ port from friends and the bitterest oppo­ sition from ettero.tes are those pertaining to1 temperance. This la especially true In. regard to the R_ose county local option law. Tins Jaw of -vself does not close a single saloon.. It is a.referendum pure' and simple of the saloon question to the: electors of the counties, to her determined, by a majority of the votes cast thereon, If tho majority is In favor of the saloon. It will Stay in that county; if the major­ ity is against the saloon, it- yriU go. I t is unqualified home rule for the counties of Ohio, leaving each for itself to dficldo Its local policy as a unit whether the sa­ loon shall stay or gp. The present Demo­ cratic platform fayors both home rule and the referendum 'in other matters? .Why not In this? „ I repeat In substance-how what I said on a former occasion, that an organized effort Is being made by the liquor dealers and their friends to bring about a repeal pr a modification of the Rose law’ and other temperance,"laws objectionable to, their interests', r uo not believe these or-: ganizatlons, aided by the Democratic par-' ty of tho state, with all of their misrep­ resentations of fafits and the lavish use- Of their corruption fund,' will- succeed in, electing a general assembly or state olll- e-rs who-Will do their bidding.* I have an abiding faith' In the honesty, fidelity and InuAlgence of the electors of Ohio. „ I do not believe that these laws, passed by tho Seventy-seventh General assembly In the interest of law and order , and good government and happy, homes, Will ho repealed by the legislature elected by the voters Of Ohio this year. _ Among- the questions to be answered by tho voters in .Ohio at the next erection: are these: Shall the people or, the liquor element rule on-questions directing the home? Shall the brewers dominate Ohio politics, or the people have a voice? Shall, any one interest disregard all Other, inter­ ests? Shall homo rule, self-government and equal rights, as well as the church, the schools and the family circle, be pro­ tected? i The brewers, saloonkeepers and’stheir" allies were never so aggressive or so Well organised. They opened ■the campaign long ago with parades and ■dem-” atra­ tions a t which Instructions were given tef their host# to rally around theDomocratte .............. “ “ “ _ They have pMtued a new edition or the Declara­ tion t*f Indapenoano*.

They are largely . ltf Dm publishing and adver­ tising business. Their leagues are liberal in more ways than- one. They have the means with which to be liberal. But are they really liberal? Are their motives wholly Upseifish? Is not their liberality bestowed wbqrO it will dp them the most good and where they are expecting much lh returh? They are seeking' control of the state offices and of the legislature, What do they want with that power?. That i3 the question. This aggregation of leagues and alli­ ances has practically captured tho Demo­ cratic organization In Ohio. If they elect the Democratic state and legislative tick­ ets they will naturally look for their re­ ward for such nil expenditure in time and money, The. election Of the Republican ticket means that 'we will hold the fort’-r and not retreat front .the advanced- ground that we are now able to occupy !

Put Your Money In a New Country Tho Pacific Coast extension of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway now under construe-* .tlon, opens to tho settlor thousands of acres of excellent agricultural land- The new country in Adamf Hettinger, and Bowman Counties, North Dakota, and Butte County, South Dakota, is now reached by the new track. The soil is a dark loam with clay subsoil, and produces in abundance wheat, oats, barley, spelz, flax, corn and potatoes. The land Is well adapted to farming, good water is found a t a depth of from twenty to fifty feet, and the whole country is underlaid with lignite coal that out­ crops along the streams, and In most cases can be had for the digging, The climate is healthful, the air is dry and invigorating, and the percentage of sunshiny . days is high. Outdoor work can bt done almost eveiy day in the year. Rainfall Is amply suffi- A ‘ cient to raise the crops. Regular mail service has been established, the roads are good, rural telephone lines traverse the country, and automobiles are in conn m use. The deeded land Jn.thia district selffi for from $10 to $18 per acre. There are many instances this- -year where the crop equalled In value the cost of the land. In Butte County, South Dakota, there is considerable government land open for homestead entry. Government land offices are maintained at Lemmon, Hettinger and Bowman, where filings and final proofs may bo made, All of these towns are on the new line of the Chicago Milwaukee & St. P-iuI R a ilw ay . In Montana, thonow'failroad traverses good farming land. It lias been demonstrated that big crops of grain maybe raised. Along tho Yellowstone and Mussellshell rivers, tho water Is used for Irrigation, and phenomenal yields of alfalfa, sugar beets; and grain, are always certain, -In tho Judith Basin-near Lewistown, Montana, is one Of. tho most remarkable sections to bo found on tho new line, Under natural rainfall, tho famous, bench lands produced this year an average of 35 bushels of hard wheat to tho acre, and tho price was 91cents per bushel, Tho basin contains about 1500 square males and is sparsely settled, Somo government land still remains open for settlement. A government land office is maintained a t Lewistown, In Fergus County, outside the Judith Basin* is one of the greatest Stock countries in the world, and good ranches can bo purchased a t a reasonable figure. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Co. has established an immigration department for the purpose of assisting In the /settlement and development of the new lands slow being Opened,' Pamphlets descriptive of its resources will bo forwarded free on request. ; P i a * M i u e n GtftirJll Pa*«*n«*r Ag#nt, HAYNES Immigration A$#nt, S i ADAM# s m r f V CHICAGO
