A Republican Tip for Ohioans
Voters generally, and particularly na machine, and who organized and
thoso of Ohio will be interested in an
editorial that appeared Wednesday,
September 27 in the New York Press,
a stalwart republican newspaper.
That editorial is entitled "Republican
Success Threatened by Foraker
Treachery," and is as follows:
"Senator Foraker says the railroad
rate question is not a party question.
Herein ho is right. Senator Foraker
says tho republicans of Ohio do not
bossed the convention, refused, in tho
interest of his railroad clients, to al
low such a plank in the platform. It
may bo recalled that Senator Hanua
tried to prevent the Ohio republican
convention of 1903 Trom committing
the state to the nomination of Mr.
Roosevelt for the presidency, and that
with his control of tho machinery of
the party he could have carried out
his scheme. He desisted only when
Garfield
un.
stand with President Roosevelt on tho the whole country raised such a din
railroad regulation policy. Herein he around his ears that he did not dare
is wrong. As proof that the Roose- to dofy the sentiment. Tho signifl
vclt program is not n party question ( canco of tho Ohio convention's un
Mr. Foraker nol.es that Mr. William sympathetic attitude toward an im
J. Bryan has been its chief advocate mensely popular cause is not that the
for vears. and that Mr. Roosevelt and , republican voters or Roosevelt voters
the democratic leader are in perfect
accord on the plan to give tho inter
slate commerce commission or some
other administrative body power over
railroad tariffs. Mr. Foraker cites
this fact to bring the rate regulation
policy into disrepute. But tho aver
age citizen will reckon that there
must be some merit to a scneme that
has tho approval both of the fore
most republican and tho foremost
democrat.
"In this matter, as in several oth
ers, Mr. Bryan is a bettor republican
than Senator Foraker, a better Amer
ican than Senator Aldrich, a more
loyal citizen than Senator Blkins, and
ho looms so far above a dozen other
senators who mask behind tho name
of "republican" that we could gladly
exchange the wholo outfit of them for
Mr. Bryan even with all his economic
heresies. At least he is not a hired
man for the railroads or the trusts or
the insurance companies. As proof
that tho republicans of Ohio are not
in accord with President Roosevelt
on his program of federal control Mr.
Foraker points to the failure of the
Ohio state convention tolndoreUie I
project, ii-vt"Were.iustomary lor tne
"- OfiTo" state convention tp record the
wishes of the republican party of
Ohio we should not challenge the
senator's statement that the absence
from the state platform of any in
dorsement of the Roosevelt rate pol
icy is evidence that the Ohio repub
licans have lined up with tTie rail
broads against the president. But so
rarely do the Ohio republicans have
a free hand in their state convention
that its nejrlect this year to approve
. the president's rate plan does not
mean that a majority of the GOO 000
republicans who voten for Mr. Roose
velt last November have parted com
pany with him on this question, or
that the 255.000 Roosevelt plurality
was given to him by the Ohio repub
licans in the bel'ef that he would
leave the svndicated railroads in un
disturbed mastery of the people.

aid President Roosevelt's rate pro

Senator Foraker to mean hostility to

ventured to ask him if he could af
ford thus to stifle his convictions,
and this inquiry seemed to disturb
him, for he said: "1 nave been think
ing over this subject since my friend
came, and I am coming to believe
that strengthening the commission
will do no good. We want stronger
legislation and I am in favor of abol

road's friend had captured my asso
ciate, and I gave h'm up as an ally,
only asking back my memorandum
of data. The advocates at the coming
session of the abolition of the com
mission and the establishment of a
railroad court should bo viewed with
curiosity and care."
