ONLY ONE BALLOT
Continued from First Page.

We demand a return to rigid economy
In the administration of public affairs and
proper reduction of all fees and Sala-
ries.
We demand a reduction Of taxation and
more equitable distribution of its burden.
Political bosses are to be deteSted and
are tnfmical to our form of government.
Bosses represent simply concentration
of political power, or ring. They live
and exist through jobs and schemes load
ed upon the taxpayers. They substitute
their rule in their party for the rule of
its voters and visit political death upon
any one who refuses to bow to their die
tatiOn. They select the nominees who
II elected, remain their tool and admins
ter their official powers in the interest Of
their boss and not the people. The Re-
! publican party in Ohio is now in such
control.
We deplore the frequent and outrageous
exercise of lynch law in this and other
states, especially against our colored citi-
zens, and we recommend the adoption of
prompt and efficient measures to supply
such unwarranted acts Of violence
We recommend a constitutional amend
ment providing for the election of presi-
dent, vice president and United States
senators by direct vote of the people.
Towards securing these kindred bless
ings we earnestly invite the cooperation
of all patriotic citizens who are opposed
to Imperialism in this country, and who
favor the perpetuity of the republic and
desire the blessings of liberty for our
! selves and our posterity
