In which Theodore Roosevelt opened tho
Progressive campaign In Ohio here last
night, lie uiged the election of James
R. Uarlleld 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,"
suld Colonel Roosevelt, "and It Is natural
that everywhere tho liquor forces should
line up against the Piogiesslve party,
sometimes behind one, and sometimes
behind the other, of the old parties."
lie took a strong stand against the pro
posed amendment to tho State Constitu
tion which will be offered to tho voters
of Ohio this fall in an effort to make
the entire state "wet."
"in tho 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 the abolition of all ef
fective control over the liquor traffic and
the abdication by the State of all power
to minimize the damage It does."
Colonel Roosevelt said that tho Demo
cratic party In Ohio is either overtly or
covertly supporting the "wet" amend
ment, and that the Republican party Is
dodging the Issue. Ho also assailed tho
tariff policies of the Republican and
Democratic parties. Under the Republi
can tariff, he said, a few men prosper
too much, while under the Democratic
tariff no one prosper. Ho Indorsed the
