I IN OHIO'S HISTORY

rstgmm&ammmmmmmmaMt

MAW1M TO ULUSK
Slate in Throes of Vote-Get-,
ting Struggle of "Wets,"
J "Drys," Suffragists and
Antis.
COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 30. Ohio voters
will po to the polls next Tuesday to cast
their ballots In the most Important elec
tion e"cr held In the State. Not only
re tho oters to elect State, Consres
tlotial, county nnd Judicial tickets, but
they aro to decide the State-wide pro
hibition nnd woman suffrage questions.
Party questions havo been shoved Into
the backuround by thev 'wets" nnd
"drjs' " flsht. The usual question of
'Who's to be ouf next Governor?" has
been replaced by "Will the State ko
drv?" .
Here nro a few of tho reasons for this
situation:
Trom three to six Itmes as much money
wai spent by tho State "wet" nnd "dry"
organizations as was expended by the
Democratic, Republican and Bull Moose
Mnto Committees combined In their ef
forts to "led their State nnd legislative
tickets
Fhe times as many workers were en
rolled In tho "wet" and "dr" armies
as wcie found In the three State politi
cal organizations.
For every piece of literature distrib
uted by tho three political parties at
least ten pieces were distributed by the
"wots" nnd "drys."
"Wet" or "dry" raised nnd spent about
1160,000 In their fight to write a. State
wide, prohibition amendment Into the
State constitution.
Tho "wots" made no announcement of
the size of their campaign fund, but It
was reported to bo around the million
dollar mark.
The constitutional amendment proposed
by the "drys" provides Statc-wldo pro
hibition. In opposition, tho "wets" pre
sented a proposed amendment which re
peals the Itoso County option law and
prevents Stnto-wldo prohibition through
leglslatlvo enactment
Two more proposed constitutional
amendments confront the voter. One pro
vides for woman suffrage, tho other writes
the Smith 1 per cent, tax law into tho
constitution.
The suffragists have made a deter
mined fight to carry tho State, the na
tional organization Bending Its best speak
ers here, as tho suffragists believe with
the vote In Ohio, the most Eastern State
to vote on tho question, they will have
more chance for success when they move
on New York and other Eastern States
next year.
Naturally, tho prohibition Issue was ex
tended to tho political arena. Tho Pro
gressives, with James It. Garfield, former
Cabinet member under Theodore Roose
velt, ns their candldato for Governor,
came out for Stntc-wido prohibition and
woman suffrage.
The Democratic party, with Governor
James M. Cox as its candidate, Ignored
both Issues.
The Republicans, who have as their
Gubernatorial candidate Congressman
Frank B. Willis, took no sides on woman
suffrage, but adopted n liquor plank In
their platform which, nfter asserting that
Btatc-ulde prohibition Is a question for
the oters themselves to decide, doclared
for strict law enforcement nnd for the
decentralization of liquor. license boards,
which are now appointed by the State
goernment In each "wot" county.
OLD PARTIES IN DELAWARE
PROFESS CONFIDENCE
Indications ns Campaign Closes Ap
pear to Favor Republicans.
WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 30. In most
parts of tho State tho political campaign
will end on Saturday night, though all
of the parties expect to hold meetings
In this city on Monday night, which will
be the night before the election. The
campaign has now progressed so far that
the political experts aro making a pre
diction as to the outcome. Naturally alt
sides assert that they will make a good
shoulng, and both the Democrats nnd
Republicans claim that they are going
to win
Indications, based on the best Informa
tion which can be obtained, are that
the Republicans will elect the member of
Congress and will also elect their Stato
ticket, but the majority over the Demo
crats will be small by reason of tho fact
that most of the Progressive votes will
come from the Republicans.

HOPE TO RESTORE FRANCHISE
TO MAN ONCE A PRISONER
Declared In Court Ho Was Convicted
For Another's Crime.
WILMINGTON, Del.. Oct. 30 -Friends
and even political enemies of cx-FIro
Chief Hugh F. Sweeney Joined today in
a movement to restore blip to citizen
ship, following Swccney'B declaration In
Superior Court that ho has lived down
tho fact that he was convicted ot man
slaughter and sentenced to six years nt
hard labor In 1872.
Sweeney has been active In politics hero
for years. The first hint that Sweenoy
had a "past" came yesterday, when he
answered a summons to Superior Court
on startling charges by Republican op
ponents that Sweeney had been convicted
of manslaughter and sentenced to six
jenrs, and that therefore ho had no
standing ns a citizen.
Sweeney Is now C5. When he npponred
before Judge Itlco he asked to make a
statement before being questioned. Upon
the court's acquiescence, Sweeney quietly
told his story.
' "Forty-two years ago," he said, "I at
tended a picnic at Sea Breeze, N. J.
There was a light. A man was struck
on tho head and jlled from his hurt. I
was merely a .spectator and Innocent of
the deed, but I his arrested, convicted,
sentenced For four years nnd nlno
months I tolled In tho Trenton peniten
tiary. I got 15 months off for good
behavior.
"I knew the man who struck the blow
fcr which I was being punished. Ho was
my friend, Lewis Lcgg. He did not como
forward to save me, but I nm not and
never havo been sorry I mndo tho sac
rifice. I would not tell his namo If he
were not dead."
Sweeney has a brother In Philadelphia.
A sister lives at Chester, Pa.

Penrose, Sole Survivor of Boss ism
In U. S. Senate, Faces Oblivion
Beating of Tom-tom By His Frightened Followers
Has Made Their Campaign a Ghost Dance.
The New York Times of this morning prints the following editorial:
THE TOM-TOM
At the beginning of the campaign It Bcemed a foregone conclusion that Sen
ator Penrose would be re-elected, because of tho big vote by which ho carried
the Republican primaries In Pennsjlvnnla. It now seems possible that the reaaon
ho got It was that the antl-Penrose Republicans, who left the party In 1312, have
not yet como hack and did not 'vote. At any rate, his opponents are showing an
obstreperous belligerence and confidence that they did not have a while ngo.
To an outsider, however, tho chief sign that Pennsylvania may not be deter
mined on perpetuating Penrose lies In the kind of campaign his advocates are
making. We do not here refer to tho slush fund collected for him, or to the con
juring of the liquor Interests to his side, or to the other evidences of panic of that
kind, but to the character of the nrguments. They hnve degenerated Into a fren
zied beating of the tom-tom. Summarized, they nro that his Democratic opponent.
Palmer, Is determined to closo nil the mills In Fennsjlvanla and thnt starvation
stnres her in the face If Palmer Is elected; that his Progressive opponent, Pinchot,
never lived In Pennsjlvnnla till two years ago; that Vance McCormlck, the fusion
candidate for Governor, is a rich man, and that Colonel Roosevelt once con
gratulated Penrose on tho fact thnt there wero a largo number of Republicans In
Pennsylvania.
The Republican campaign began as nn argument and has degenerated Into
n shriek. It started In a bass olco and has become falsetto. The shriek Is less
one of rngo than of fear. The procession hns become n ghost dnnce. Perhaps
these panic-stricken cries of men who nro catching at strawB will Influence voters
In Pennsylvania ; but If they have not all lost their calmmws simultaneously, wo
should think nil tho uproar would not drown out the one great question which Is
before them. It is whether Pennslvnnla, the last of nil the States to bo repre
sented In the Senate by the boss of a corrupt political machine, by a graduate of
ward politics, Intends to retnln that bad eminence. If New York had ever com
mitted the aberration of making Charles F. Murphy tho successor of Seward, and
If now the question was presented to her of continuing him In that profaned chair,
no tom-tom that ever was beaten could drown It or make doubtful tho result
Once many States shared Pennsjlvnnln's discreditable fame; but an Increase In
public morality In the last few ears has taken boss after boss out of the Senate,
till now only one relic of those political dark ages Is there. He Is the man whom
Pennsjlvnnla dellghtcth to honor.

TO EXCEED TENER'S VOTE
Brumbaugh Poll Expected to Be 25
Per Cent. Greater Than Governor's.
Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh's vote next
Tuesday Is expected to exceed thnt given
Governor Toner four jears ngo by more
than 25 per cent. Such an increase would
mean that at least 500,000 more votes will
bo cast for Doctor Brumbaugh than were
cast for Toner.
This forecast, apparently far fetched.
In view of the estimated total of 1.000.000
vctcs to bo cast at the coming election,
and In face of the supposed strength of
the Washington party forces In the
Western part of the State, Is based on
tho expected action of counties such ns
Montgomerj-, Lebanon, Berks, Lancustcr
