HAVE YOU HEARD PROM OHIO?

Have you beard from old Ohio? Don’t It fill your aoul with alee? Scooped it clean from Meiga to Fultop, from Scioto to Maumee! Cincinnati to Toledo, from Defiance to Monroe! Honeat votera gladly rallied to deal graft a fatal blow. And they landed good and luaty on tbe rotten Cox machine Till tbe buckeye* popped with laughter at the long awaited acene. *Tve retired." aaid Cox next morning, But the atatement isn’t true— Cox was ahoved. and shoved forever—don't it look that way to you? “That’* a democratic measure—l’ll have none of it in mine!" Shouted Foraker in frenzy as he pranced along the line, “Stand by Roosevelt!” he shouted, "but don’t vote tbe way you stand; Vote for railroad domination they have made the country grand;" Had he boosted Mr. Herrick back to place and power again He’d have claimed a vindication—Joe's the foxiest of men. But the people have grown wiser in the past decade or two. And they’re “onto” Joseph Benson—don’t it look that way to you? “Don’t go back upon the party!" pleaded Dick in tearful tones, But the answer of the people was to walk upon his bones. •‘Don't be fooled by public clamor—stand up for the G. O. P.,’’ Shouted Dick—and then the people emote him on the neck with glee. “Don’t do railroads an Injustice," pleaded Dick with plaintive cries, And the people for an answer smote him fair between the eyes. Cox and Dick and Joseph Benson are all feeling mighty blue. But Ohio is rejoicing- cjon’t it look that way iqyw? Have you heard from old Ohio ? Don t these figures make you smile? Beat the railroad combination seven furlongs In a mile? Have you heard from old Ohio? Notwithstanding Shaw and Taft Honest Buckeye Voters rallied and knocked out both greed and graft. Have you heard from old Ohio? Don’t the figures loom up fine? Got the “stand pat" fellows locoed all along the voting line. Have you heard from old Ohio? Pattison just fairly flew, And boss rule Is more than busted—don’t it look that way to you? —The Commoner,
