Well, anyway, if Roosevelt carried Ohio, Taft still claims he will get practically all of Teddy’s state. it seems that neither of these men is appreciated at home. «■» Governor Harmon will go to the democratic convention with the Ohio vote in his vest pocket. He will help to split the vote no doubt, causing the dead-lock that will likely elect Governor Marshall. The present contest of the republican party put before us the interesting and edifying spectacle of a New York man and an Ohio man pitted against each other. The Ohio man was a present to us from the New York man, but the New York man now ' proposes the recall of his annointed Ohio successor and ihe restoration of the New York dynasty in its own right. This should be his reward for , having handed us the lemon that now | gives him so much pain. New York: and Ohio are all very well in their ! way, although passable presidents have come from Virginia and Illinois. It is not esesntial, however, that we always have a New York man or an Ohio man picked out by a New York man. There may be other states — who knows? Even in this year of , grace, 1912, there might be some one else capable of destroying the trusts and saving the country, as has heretofore been done, except the aforesaid lemon and the demon s infallible donor.—lndianapolis Star.
