The Wings Of 1912
The Wing Traitors. and the apologies Of
their treason, In e6deavording 10 ward offtber
impending iufamy and ruin, assert that the
calling of the late exssa session 10 district
the State, was inexpedient and outrageous;
and upon these premises do they, ina great
measure, base lheii nefarious and abortiye
attempts to- justify me infamous conspiracy
agaiHst the Constitution and lave OF the land.
Let us for a moment examine into The ain.
cerity and honesty Of this assertion.
II is well known that the Legislature Of 1881
'32, passed d law providing for an extra ses-
sion Of the General Assembly, for the pur-
pose Of dividing the State into Congressional
districts. Let US see what the WHlGS in the
legislature THEN thought, 10 regard to the
necessity and expedency Of an extra session.
Take the House Journal Of the thirteenth
General Assembly, (session Of 81 1927 and
turn to page 226, and you find The following:
"The engrossed bill entitled, ian act 10
provide for an extra session Of the General
Assembly, was read third time. -
"The question being put, 'shall the bill
passJ was decided in the affirmalive-yeaS
40, nays 80.

ran, Ceilings, Corwin, Creighton, Curier;

Hamilton, HAllack, Harris, Kirkland, Lutz,
Mcdonald, McGonsgle, Miller, Newell,
Olmstead, Paige, Pease, Peairs, Reace, Rob-
bins. Shideler, Spencer, Storm, Swain, War.

By carefully examining the above list Of
yeas and nays; it will be found that Of the
FORTY members Of the House, who voted
IN FAVOR Of an extra session; G3s36 were
WHIGS and but -FOUR were DEMOCRATS!
And out Of the THIRTY TWO; who voted
AGAINST holding an extra session; TtllR"
TY we're DEMOCRATS and but TWO were
WHIGSll
Butlet US follow this bill into the Senate.
Examining tho Senate Journal Of the ihir>
teen General Assembly, (session Of '3l 81,
page396; and you will udtbe following:
'.Mr. Lockwood then moved that the SEN
ate resume the consideration Of the bill from
the House, entitled ian act 10 provide for an
extra session Of the General assembly, there's
upon, 7.. 49,. II ...4
The Senate took up said BILL .~'
.And the question being, shall the bill pass2
il was decided in the affirmaise--yeas 81,
pays l3s,
The yeas and nays being required,
Chose who voted in the affirmative were
Messrs. Augustine; Bigger; Carpenter; Cote
well; Cox; Dunn; Elsberry; Howell; Kilgore;

Msssrs. Anderson, Blackburn, Carotbers,
Cilley, Case; Heaton, Jones, Mcdowell. Mil
Ter, McMechan; Morris, Shelby and Thomp-
son-23. rys.-s..,.,,,r.. E
Thus it will be seen; that out ofTWENTY
ONE. Senators who vnied IN FAVOR Of an
extra session; 07sTWENTY we're WHIGS
and but ONE was q DEMOCRAT!l And of
the THIRTEEN Senators who voted against
holding an extra session, GTeTWELVE were
DEMO GRATIS, and but ONE was WHlG!!
What think you Of that, honest men Of
Ohioa-What think you now, Of the profess
sions and declarations of the traitors!
BEAR IT IN MIND that in 1882, EVERY
WHilG IN THE LEGISLATURE, with
butihree exceptions, voted FAVOR Of hold
ing an extra session TO district the Slate.
BEAR 1T IN MIND, that the present whig
State Treasurer, Nh. Whitehill, who now
defends the treason of the conspirators, on
f, tie ground tha! an extra session was unneces-
sary, did himself in 1882, vote in favor Of an
extra session 10 district the Statel s.
Thus do the archives OF the State, hurl LII
AIRS into the traitors teeth! Thus do their
own recorded votes, and those Of their ffiends
convict the PICTURED traitors, Of the most dam
ning fraud and faIsehoodl
PEOPLE OF OHIO!-an awful respoDsi
bility rests upon your shouldersl 1t is for you
20 decide, whoher TREASON shall triumph
whether liberty is bu. an empty sound
lNSOLENTLIY DESPERATE.
