Judge Ranney, in his Akron speech, said in
regard to the school system under our present
Constitution: 81 can not fail to remember lust
how | and other members of the Democratic
persuasion looked upon this whole subject
But Judge, the people are anxious to see IL
you remember how you Uoted on the subject
when you were member of the convention
Have you failed To remember" that2 II so,
turn to page Ill, volume ,, of the Convention
Reports, and You will find that you, Judge Ran
ney, U0ted against it.
You will find too, keeping you company,
Messrs. Groesbeck, Jones, Riddle, and Holmes,
Democratic members from Hamilton County.
You will find large number of Democrats
voting no, as you did.
You will find that the system would have
been defeated if the Wings had not voted yes.
When you made your Akron speech you
knew exactly that you had Uotsd against the svs-
tenn. Why did you attempt to pettliog the mat
ter and oewilder the people by uttering glitter
ing generalites to make them believe that you
had voted for it? You had not the hardihood
to tell them you voted for it.
