Mrs. Rtchnrdsnii mentioned casually
that Judge Brown had talked with Sen

Senator McNIchol was found in his

He was asked if he had gUen immediate

when Judge Blown came to see him.
"Judge Brown and I never tullced about
the Municipal Court," he said. "I have
discussed It with some councllmen, but I

"I finally aroused myself and found

Marshall got. "Ton can continue that

COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 2U.-"The mu
tual affinities of whisky and crooked
politics" was the. keynote of tho address
In which Theodore Roosevelt opened the
Progressive campaign In Ohio hero Inst
night. He urged the election of James
R. Garfield for Governor and A. L. Gar
ford for United States Senator, on their
prohibition platform
"Whisky and crooked politics unques
tionably have strong mutual affinities,"
said Colonel Roosevelt, "and It Is natural
that everywhere the liquor forces should
Hue up against the Progressive party,
sometimes behind one, and sometimes
behind the other, of the old parties."
He took a strong bland ugulnst the pro
posed amendment to the Stato Constitu
tion -which will be offered to the voters
of Ohio this fall in an effort to make
the entire state "wet."
"In the State this year the contest has
been precipitated by the liquor men,"
he said, "who have forced before the
voters an amendment, which, If success
ful, would mean tho abolition of all ef
fective control over tho liquoi traffic and
the abdication by tho Stato of all power
to minimize tho damage It does."
Colonel Roosevelt said that the Demo
cratic party in Ohio Is either overtly or
covertly supporting the "wet" amend
ment, and that the Republican patty Is
dodging the Issue. Ho also assailed the
tariff policies of tlie Republican and
Democratic patties. Under the Republi
can tatlff, he sold, a few men prosper
too much, while undei the Democratic
totlft no one prospers. He Indorsed the
election of a tariff commission of ex.
