Pol | al bosses are to be detested and
are ini.nic;il To our form of government.
Bosses represent simply u concentration
of political power or ring. They live
nnd exist through jobs and schemes
luiGrd upon ihe taxpayers. They substi-
tutt their ruic in their party for the rule
ot lis ,u;crs. They select the nominees,
who, II elected, remain their tool and ad-
minister their official powers In the inter
est Ot their boss and not for the people.
The Republican party in Ohio Is now in
such control.
