THE TARIFF IS THE PRINCIPAL ISSUE In his speech as temporary chairman of the Ohio republican convention Mr. Longwortn said that the principal issue on which the party in that state "will appeal to the people in this campaign is and must inevitably be the tariff." He assumes responsibility tor the present law in the followng words: "We could not dodge it if we would; we ought not to if we could. We are responsible for it in the fullest sense. It would be mere futility to attempt now to shirk our responsibility.” Undoubtedly the republican party is •esponsible for the Payne U». It was a republican congress that enacted it and a Tepublican president that signed it. and declared it the best tariff law ever enacted. Mr. Longworth is therefore right when he says that his party cannot dodge it if it would, and that it ought not to wish to do so. We think, howeve r , that in his very commendable effort to bring the two v Ings or tne party together the distinguished stateman fell into some confusion. He said that “the genuine standpatter is not enamored of the Payne law as it stand* today.” Yet Mr. Cannon professes to be satisfied with it, and he never loses an opportunity to denounce the republicans who voted against it.

ter.” Mr. Payne, whose name tut i_ bears, has spoken most warmly o. ... In this state the only republican tdorsement that the law has recci. has come from the standpatteis. 0.. the oilier hand, the insurgents, nevi weary ot denouncing it. Senator Beveridge is open In his hostility to it. Senator Cummins is putting up a vig orous fight against it Senator Bristow pointed out yesterday that the cotton duties bad been fixed for the I urpose of helping speculators in cotton securities. Finally the tariff com-u-issiuii plan, which appeals so strong ly to Mr. Longworth, was put througn by the insurgents, who insisted that the law was wrong, and opposed by the regulars who insisted that the law was all that could be desired. Indianapolis News, Rep. Suggestion is made that the franking privilege be given to Colonel Roosevelt. Colonel Bryan has not been as lucky as Colonel Roosevelt, tut it strikes us that he is equally entitled to the privilege —especially if the insurgents are to control the country. He has furnished them with most of their ideas. —Huntington Morning Times, Rep. Politicians may confer at Beverly ano Sagamore Hill, but political conferences cast mighty few votes on election day, especially when the indictment is against a party and not against an individual. Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt will not save Ohio in 1910, and they may count then*selves lucky if they save It in 1912. — New York World. CARD OF THANKS.
