MAKE HAXXA THE ISSUE. Ohio Democratic Campaign Opened by Johnson and Clarke. AKRON, Or.. Sept. 9. The Democratic state campaign opening meeting was held in a tent here tonisht, addresses being de livered' by Tom L. Johnson, candidate for Governor: John F. Clarke, candidate for Senator, and Henry George, Jr., of New York. The crowd at the meeting was estimated at 3000. In his speech Mr. John son said in part: "We have in this campaign three great questions to present to the people of Ohio. These are the questions Af home rule, equitable taxation and the destroy ing of the unholy. If not' corrupt alliance between certain managers" of the Repub lican party and the owners of valuable special privileges. "The City of Cleveland furnishes an ex cellent illustration of the issues of the Democratic party in this campaign. Cleve land has become . known as the mo3t completely enjoined city in Ohio. Since I have been Mayor. 15 injunctions have been issued against the city In the Interest of the owners of valuable special privi leges like the street railroads and the gas and electric companies. And after each Injunction the Democratic pluralities have been larger than ever before. "Senator Hanna, who Is financially in terested In Borne of these public corpora tions, with the aid of Attorney-General Sheets, has been able to prevent the city from compelling the public service corpo rations to pay their just share of the taxes, and has, so far, blocked the estab lishment of a 3-cent fare street railroad to compete with his 5-cent fare monopoly. Liberty of People at Stake. "The1 last Injunction issued against Cleveland strikes at the very liberties of the people. Senator Hanna, through this Attorney-General, secured an injunction truin uie supreme ourt restraining the people of Cleveland from expressing their opinion as to whether they would operate their own electric plant, or allow it to be operated for private profit. The Injunc tion prevented the election. "The municipal code which was foisted on all the municipalities of the state Boss Cox's board plan of government by some slip, had left In it a provision al lowing cities to have their own electric plant it they desired it It was certainly an. oversight If the men who made tho code had only thought of it they would have left us In the same position as we are in in respect to street railways. The state laws are now such as to make It Im possible to build a municipal street rail way, but it is not impossible to build a municipal electric plant if you are suc cessful lenough to dodge the Injunctions. "Senator Hanna is standing for vindica tion. He stands for vindication of that variety of municipality ownership which, through the ship subsidy, proposes to pay Into the pockets of Mr. Hannah friends $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 dollars annually in ship subsidies. He stands as opposed to allowing ihe people of Cleveland to ex press their will as to whether they de sire an electric light plant I will be sat isfied with the verdict of the voters." Clarke Also Scores Hannn. Mr. Clarke's address was in part as fol lows: " 'Let well enough alone,' 'stand pat,' 'continue to stand pat,' 'hands off,' 'for God's sake keep letting welTenough alone.' This, In his own language, Is the sum of the political wisdom and statesmanship In which Senator Hanna has given coun sel to the people of this state -and Nation for several years, as if, forsooth, he thought tho National life of this great people and the'buslness of it would stand still, no move, at his command. "The business of the country has re fused to stand still at Mr. Hanna's com mand, but on the contrary, has run riot In speculation such as was never seen be fore, and now stands upon what all men fear Js the verge of collapse and capital and labor halt In dally expectation of a panic a fear in which the President and Secretary of the Treasury, by their pub i lie speeches, show they distinctly share. This condition has been largely brought about by the disturbance of business caused by the high tariff- taxes, through which millions of dollars have been taken unnnecessarlly from the people and the channels of business and locked up Into the United States Treasury or loaned out by it to favored banks. "While Senator Hanna has thus been urging this do-nothing policy, there has been worked out unrestrained, in our country, the greatest industrial revolution ' of modern times, which has placed every branch of business and manufactured con trol "of a form of monopoly, whlch all the world except Mr. Hanna agrees to call a 'trust.' "The decision In the Northern Securi ties case is proof positive that through all the seven years in which the trusts have been taking possession of the busi ness of the country there was ample law, if It had been enforced, to have prevented the formation of pr to have restrained tho actions at least of every trust en gaged in interstate commerce, and most of the great ones are so engaged. As to remedies in the way of control ling trusts, the first Is the taking of the tariff from all articles the manufacture or sale of which Is controlled by a mo nopoly and the second the limiting of the capitalization of all corporations engaged in interstate commerce, strictly to the value of the property Invested. The last I think, is a most sweeping remedy, be cause I am satisfied the schemes of op pression are always worked out through fictitious stock; that It Is to pay dividends on such stock that monopoly prices are always exacted, and that if such could be prevented, or If the capital would be lim ited so the profits would Bhow when mo onopoly prices are being charged, the people are depended upon to supply the remedy." ' i Referring to. the Philippine policy of the Republicans, which he denounced, Mr. Clarke said he was in favor of grant ing the Filipinos immediate independence, reserving coaling stations, which they have always been ready to grant to the United States and of saying to all tho rest of the world "hands off."
