In the early 70's Jesse Pomroy and his crimes were discussed from one end of the country to the other.

When he was fourteen years old Pomroy was syntenced for life for torturing: and murdering llttl« children. Me is now forty-eight years old and looks to be much older.

(Continued on page two.) • Twelve years ago the democracy of Popular Rule "No one more than I desires to see i administration purged of ever selfish taint, to have fair and impartial laws faithfully executed, to get rid of every vestige of special privilege at the expense of public interest, to liberate trade from unjust encroachments, to purify our electoral methods and to maintain honest representative government. And it is because of his loyalty/to these ideals, because of his broad sympathies and his rare equipment in character, ability and experience, because tested in the difficult fields of judicial and • administrative work he has proved his quality by eminent service, because of his varied learning, his acquaintance with affairs, his respect for constitutional government and his capacity intelligently and justly to plan and direct necessary reforms that I most earnestly support the candidacy of William Howard Taft. Mr. Taft's Candidacy we look carefully to see who constitute the new patriotic army into whose keeping we are asked to turn over the destinies of this great Natino. The campaign watchwords, 'Shall the People Rule* and the demand 'Whether the government shall remain a mere business asset of favor-seeking corporations* are not impressive when emblazoned on the banners of Tammany Hall and of other essential allies. The army opposing us cannot pass muster either as one of defense or of salvation, and we may well paue before we permit it, despite its boast of fidelity, to garrison our instituaions. call to the defense of popular rights. "The Republican party makes appeal to public confidence as the most Important political agency for conservation and for progress. Ry virtue of its achievements, its leadership and its alms, it stands forth as an efficient instrument for strong and capable administration, as a safeguard of stability, and as an unrivaled power for the correction of abuses. It stands in strikfhg contrast to the record of vacillation and ineptitude presented by the chief opposing party. That opposing party proffers a candidacy which is at once a monument and a guide-post. It memorializes the fallacies and unsafe policies we are asked to forget, and It points the way to business uncertainty and to the impairment of the confidence which is the security of industry and trade. "When we hear sounded a strident Governor Hughes, in addition to making complete answer to Mr. Bryonia para mounted planks, and speaking In generalities, said: The big event of the day's program was the meeting which succeeded the parade. A throng of record-breaking proportions heard the speakers. Arthur T. Vorys, manager of the movement which culminated in William H. Taft's nomination for the Presidency, was the presiding officer. Mr. Vorys Introduced Governor Andrew L. Harris as the first orator. Governor Harris was accorded a hearty reception and his address was given close attention. The next speaker was Governor Charles E. Hughes, of New York, who was Introduced as the chief orator of the day. Governor Hughes spoke at considerable length on the issues of the national campaign.
