Ticket. For Uuvernor, SAMUEL M. JONES. I claim no privilege for myself or my children that I am not doing my ut most to secure for all others on equal terms. Samuel M. Jones. Why Vote fur Jnnna. Go 'd reasons, from which the fair- mindud, progressive voter cannot es cape : 1. He is not a party candidate. 2. He is opposed to all party cor ruption or party rule. , 3. He stands for, and believes in the whole people. 4. He believes that human life and individual liberty are more sacred than money. 5. He is not owned by a political boss. 6. He is not the agent of a political ring. 7. He is no part of a political mach ine. 8. He does not believe in nor seek for spoils in politics. He desires and seeks nothing for himself that he ia not doing his utmost to secure for all others on equal terms. 10. He is a free man, and can there fore afford to be just. 11, He believes the purest religion and the best politics can and should be clasp hands. 12. He believes in: Measures before men, duty and not expediency, justice and not charity as the foundation of the social Btate. 13. By the election of Mr. Jones as governor the people of the great state of Ohio may give an object lesson to the world and inaugurate a govern ment of the whole people, that shall put an end to special privileges; by which the few rob the manynrjhe rich grow richer, and the poor poorer, 14. Among the results that will fol low the triumph of the principles for which Mr. Jonei standB, are the fol lowing: a. Equity in land values as to dis tribution and occupancy. b. Great reduction in necessary tax ation now doubled by political gang robbery. The equable distribution of taxation among the whole people, great part of which the majority of the rich now escape by trickery and per jury or a "pull" on officials and bosses. c. Public ownership of all public utilities, with reduction of cost to con sumers and patrons and large increase in revenue to the whole people repre senting the state, and from whom all profits are derived. d. Direct legislation, initiative and referendum, by which the whole peo ple shall make their own laws and manage their own affairs without mid dlemen or representatives other than they shall appoint and remove at will. The forgoing just measures and acts are advocated squarely by Mr. Jones and opposed by every political boss, gang and machine known in politics, and will be to the crack of doom. If the people want justice they must help to secure it by destroying root and branch, that system which is built on injustice. A vote for Jones is a vote for justice, and against all injustice. Class rule must go. Class privileges must go. Boss rule must go. Gang rule must go. Machine rule must go. Party rule muBt go. Mammon rule must go. The whole people must rule them selves for the benefit of the whole peo pie. Vote for Jones. Mew lllble Heading.. The gospel according to Mark: The beginning is boodle and the end is boodle; yea, everything is boodle, and its power endurelh forever and ever. Amen. The gospel according to John. And this is the record of John, when the Great Unwashed sent delegates to Zanesville asking: Who art thou? Aid he confessed, I am the Real Tiling, For have I not a barrel, yea, two bar rels? I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ho, all ye that are hungry and thirath, come and take of the full ness of the barrel. And there are many takers thereof. The book of Samuel: I claim no privilege for myself or for my children that I am not doing my utmost to secure for all others on equal terms. i - J - I - r nw uio pnirimo The Jones Xon-Partizan movement is, therefore, officially not a party, and accordingly it cannot use a ballot device on the ticket. Voters, however, will be guided by words NON-PdRTISdN TICKET. ' The Jones column will ap pear as annexed cut after the voter has put his cross opposite Jones' name. "Will Mweep the State." President J. F. Mulholland, of the International Union of Bicycle Work ers and Allied Mechanics, has returned from an organizing trip through the Southern and Central parts of the state. He was run down by a "critic" and asked his opinion of the non-parti san Jones movement. "There can be no doubt as to where labor standi in the campaign for governor ol Ohio this all. The trade unionists are signing the Jones petitions by the thousands. n is my honest conviction, after a thorough investigation, that Jones will sweep the state. It is the opportunity that labor has been looking for for years a chance to vote its sentiments on queslions vital to the best interests of labor. It has been amply demon strated that there can be no relief from partisan politics. Political parties do not exercise the functions of the gov ernment in the interest of the people, but In the interest of the machines that run them. This explains why la bor measures and just legislation de sired by all the people are invariably pigeon-holed or defeated in Congress and in State Legislatures. Both Dem ocrats and Republicans voted against the eight-hour bill, though its passage was demanded by the American Feder ation of Labor and nine-tenths of the people of this country. The men who supply the oil to grease the machine the corporations and trusts have more influence with law-makers than the people have, because the machine backs them." In reply to the question: "Won't Jones' vote be confined to the cities?" Mr. Mulholland said: "Why, no. As was the case in Toledo last spring, his votes will come from where it is least expected. There are thousands of merchants, professional men and farmers who are not saying a word, but are just going to vote that's all. As Jones says: 'They are just people, and they will vote as such.' " Dayton Club Formed. The meeting at Dayton last Saturday night for the formation of a Non-Parti-san Club was a great success. The au dience was very enthusiastic and con fident of big results at the November election. The Central Non-partisan Club was formed with Sylvester Gress as presi dent; F. L. Allen, vice-president; W. Barringer, secretary-treasurer; Peter Gurney, F. L. Allen, Sylvester Gress and W. Barrenger a committee to ar range for halls. Literature and but tons have been distributed in large factories and the Non-Partisan senti ment grows stronger day by day. Jones will have more than his share in the triangular division of votes Nov. 7. The Democrats are conceding Jones a large accession of votes from the Re publican voters ; the Republicans are conceding him still larger accessions from the Democratic rank. The total of these concessions will elect Jones by a bigger majority than Brough had over Vallandingham. Mayor Jones does not seek to estab lish a party, labor or otherwise, never sought to establish a party, and never will. No party, not even a committee resulted from his election last spring. Hii platform ia about as like that of old-line democracy as sun-light is like candle-light. The old-line Democrats did not understand the real principles of democracy and equality, despite their fine phrases. He asks votes to rebuke McLean ism as well as Hanna ism. It is not McLean or Hanna that he opposes, but tlis system that pro duces McLeans and Hannas. The Eight-Hour Day. I advocate the eight-hour day, not because it affords a Anal and complete solution of the labor problem, for it does not. It is only a step In the right direction, but its immediate adoption would put thousands of men now in enforced idleness at work at once, and we may as well admit, those of us who claim such superiority as to style our selves "captains of industry," that these men are our brothers and in one way or another they will live. Through our selfish, greedy, and soul-destroying policy we are driving millions into beggary and thousands into crime. Samuel M.
