Which la acknowledgment that ho has been nsked to help "savo tho party In Ohio." Can It bo that Wado Kills appealed to Hitchcock for such a purpose? Now look nt (his; 'So far will Mr. Hitchcock GO In observing this policy, both In letter and spirit, that tho Ohio Uopubllcan organization will rccelvo no financial asBlstanco from the national organization," nays tho latent Wanhlngton roport. Ah, ha!

This pairaph Is quoted from a report Bent to a numlir of Ohio pap ers by W. 8. Couch, a well-known Ohio correspondent at Washington: "The Increasing shadow of Gov ernor Harmon of Ohio has boon spreading i growing chill over the White Houso for months. Tho sun niest afternoons In Washington haven't been isufllcUnt to dispel that chill. President Taft 1ms boon fussing more and more over the pioblem of shak ing that shadow, And hosU of Republicans join with tho Domocralo n wlshlug that (lov tirnoT Harmon's shadow may never grow less, but that It will contlnuo to grow until ho gets into tho Whlto Houso, where hhv groat abilities on able him to dispel tho Taft shadow that has fallen upon tho country. An Old Itulcr'fl Kvninplo. Ono of tho charges proforrcd against Gcorgo III In tho Declaration of Indopendenco was this: "Ho has called togothcr legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant ffrom tho depository of their public records, for tho fiolo purpose of fatiguing them Into compllnuco with tho measures." And tho Uopubllcan bosses of Ohio rush off to Washington at tho beck and call of President Taft to do tho thinking and acting (everything ex cept tho voting) for tho rank and fllo of Uopubllcan voters In Ohio. Isn't that fine! No wonder 'thcro are rumblings and grumblings among tho ratik and file about tho need of a now declaration of political Indepen dence. They got a tasto of It when thoy olected. Governor Harmon and Stato Treasurer Creamor, and they proposo to havo moro of It by mak lng It "Harmon and a clean swoop next time." They nro wary of having tho bosses called together at places uiiub ual, however comfortable, but dis tinct from tho rank and fllo for tho solo purposo of fighting them into compliance with tho "party" mandates.
