Colonel Procter was commissioned as
colonel. It was through his efforts that
Camp Procter was established, an enter
prise much along the line of the Platts-
UiiiKii training camp.
With Colonel Procter out the officer
in command of the First will be J. Dal
by Crawfis, ranking major, until there is
an election ol a suqecssor, unless the
governor designates someone else. It is
said that Major F. J. Galbraith may be
named.
A report by the Government on con
ditions of the First Regiment, made
public a day or two ago, was based on
an inspection made in January and Feb
ruary, nearly a year ago. The First
was inspected when in camp in August
and September by regular army officers
and highly complimented. The resigna
tion reads :
"I hereby tender my resignation as
commanding officer, First Ohio Infantry,
on account of not being able to give the
necessary time for the proper execution
of the work."
The Jliind of the Interests.
That the hand of the interests is seen
in the resignation of Col. Procter is ap
parent. James M. Faulkner, of the Cin
cinnati Enquirer, and the foremost po
litical writer in the State, speaking of
"The Colonel," says :
"William Jennings Uryan has his Com
moner, Robert M. La Follcttc has his
La Follctte's Weekly and Harry M.
Daughcrty has his serially numbered
pamphlets ! True to his promise, the
modern Moses of the Republican party
who is leading it beside still and car
bonated waters and away from the still
that distills, got out his first broadside
this week, timing it to coincide in ap
pearance with the session of the liig
Nine, of liaiinv memory; While it had
a good deal of fine reading about
whether the serpent of drink was to rule
the Republican party or vice versa, as
lias been the case iu the past, the real

HARRY M. DAUGHERTY'S
PAMPHLET No. 1
Speaking of William Cooper
Procter, Says:
"Perhaps in some circles Mr.
Cooper Procter, of Cincinnati,
might be considered a critic wor
thy of some notice. His criticism
was published in the Cincinnati
Enquirer on' the same day that
that paper published my statement.
In a subsequent pamphlet Mr.
Proctor's prompt entrance as a
defender of the liquor interest
may be given more specific atten
tion. Mr. Procter is a member of
the Republican State Executive
Committee at this time. I might
respectfully ask if Mr. Procter,
when in an unguarded moment
and under excitement he rushed
so quickly to the rescue of the
liquor interest, was speaking for
the Republican party. Has he the
right, even though he is on an im
portant committee, to speak for
the party? If he claims that right,
docs the party support him in his
defense of the liquor interests?"
Judging from the above Colonel
Procter must speak for himself,
if not for the party.

Pass the buck!
"Although only 24 hours have elapsed
since that time, Colonel Procter has
ceased being a member of the State
Executive Committee because it has
been declared defunct; he has kissed
himself out of the Big Nine with the
other eight blokies, and he has resigned
as Colonel of the First Regiment of
Ohio National Guards (unbrigaded).
In fact, he is just like the pamphleteer,
a plain private citizen with a political
past. His only comment upon the
bouncing of the brick off his bean is
