''Sinno the reports continue to conic out telling of the
tremendous strength Bryan has developed in Ohio, Mr.
Taft's own state, many republicans have been casting
about for a reason in order to determine just where the
trouble lies. And now M. W. 1 lissey, a staunch republican,
who in the -olden days was Senator llanna's legislative
agent, has come forward witli a statement showing the
nature of the unlicaval in that state. After predicting an
overwhelming plurality in favor of Mr. Bryan, he says:
"The republican party in Ohio has been the party of
the majority, and never before has it heard from any pres
ident the expression 'My policies.' The party has always
been greater than any one man. It was so with Hayes,
Garticld and MeKinley the party was above the individ
ual, and they always spoke of republican policies.
"Mr. Roosevelt speaks of 'my policies' as if the party
had become his personal property. This has disgusted the
rank and file of the party in Ohio.
, "Mr. Roosevelt, by the use of the big stick and the steam
roller, has nominated his successor, who, he declares, will
carry out 'my policies,' and Judge Taft agrees to do so
to the letter, showing conclusively that the republican par
ty has lost its identity and has become tho personal prop
erty of Mr. Roosevelt.
"Tho business interests of Ohio demand to know why
these hard times occur under 'my policy' administration.
MeKinley left a full dinner pail. Under Mi". Roosevelt the
bottom has dropped out. There are no natural reasons for
the existence of these hard times. Jt is up to Mr. Roose
velt, who claims to own the republican party, to explain the
situation."
Mr. Hissey goes on to say that a "serious disaffection
exists in the negro and laboring vote. Then also in the
state there are, he says, .150,000 Foraker republicans, who
will vote for Taft. He concludes:
"Never before in the history of Ohio have I known of
a situation with as many serious angles. The election of
Mr. Bryan, in my opinion, will be the greatest blessing that
ever happened."
WE NEED A CHANGE.
The last session of congress appropriated $1,008,000,-
000. This frightful extravagance has led to the popular
demand: .
"We need a change!"
During the past year federal officeholders were in
creased in number l:i,78l, costing $l(i,l 5(1,000, and the past
Bix years the total number of officeholders has increased
!)!),31J, costing $70,000,000, as against only .10,1279 new of
fices, costing $6,000,000, under eight years of Cleveland
and MeKinley. This growth of a bureaucracy has led the
people to cry.:
".We need a change 1"
The use of this army of officeholders by the president
to successfully dictate the nomination and try to force the
election of his successor has led to a popular revolt against
such czarlike methods, and swelled the popular chorus:
"We need a change 1"
Th abuse of power by Speaker .Joe Cannon, who has
usurped the governing functions of the house of represen
tatives for the benefit of trusts, and who vetoes popular
legislation before it is created, has led the nation to shout:
"We need a change!"
The refusal of Taft to make public campaign contri
butions, the fact that every trust in the country is sup
porting Taft and that, republican hopes of success, just
before election, are based solely upon the size of the Taft
corruption fund, has led to the universal acclaim:
"We need a change!"
The creation of government by injunction by the repub
lican nominee and his consistent, attitude in opposition to
labor, his lack of sympathy with and ignorance of the toiler
lias led the workingnien of America to assert with one
voice:
"We need a change!"
The refusal of Taft to approve a provision entailing
irtiarantv of bank deposits while demanding a tariff that
will give a "reasonable profit" to protected trusts, to de
dare that the common depositors need no guarantee,
though the government demands one, has forced the army
of depositors to rebel against such treatment and to assert:
"We need a change!"

THE HOW'S PANIC PLEA.
The only argument now used by the Taft advocates
to stem the Bryan tide is the plea of a pani , which they
hold up as a bogey to scare the people. Xn matter who is
elected, there will be no panic, except among officeholders.
The country was thoroughly prostrated by the panic
of last autumn, and it is slowly recuperating and will con
tinue to hotter, no matter who is choseu clue! executive.
Xo administration has ever yet won an election when a
panic occurred just before election, and the present is prov
ing no exception.
The New York Herald, which always reflected the
opinion of conservative financiers says: "Xo one really
fears that Mr. Bryan s election would provide an industrial
commercial and financial cataclysm."
The republican panic of 1907 provided a death blow for
the tariff superstition and also a forceful denial of the
truth of the claim wantonly made by republican leaders
that democratic legislation and hard times decreased tar
iffs and panics are found coexisting throughout our his
tory. . . .
The panic of 1907 lias seriously embarrassed republican
orators. But the truth is that every panic since the civil
war originated under republican rule and developed under
republican legislation.
The great panic which gave "Black Friday" to history
occurred during the month of September, 1809, when the
republican party was in power.
The great panic marked by the failure of Jay Cooke
& Co., occurred in September, 1873. Then the republican
party was in power, and eleven months prior to the begin
ning of that panic that party had been re-elected to power.
The "panic of 1893" began long prior to that year and,
indeed, long prior to the presidential election of 1892; and
it is a fact, although republican orators and republican or
gans try to forget it, that the socalled panic of 1893 began
and played its greatest havoc under that famous tariff law
known as the MeKinley bill.
