Bossism Denounced.

Political bosses are to be detested and
are inimcal to our form of government.
Bosses represent simply concentration
of political power or a 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 who refuse to bow to their dictation
They select the nominees who, if elected
remain their tools, administer their Off
cia powers in the interest of their boss
and not the people. The republican party
in Ohio is now in such control.
We favor an appropriation for the To-
ledo centennial.
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 suppress
such unwarranted. acts of violence.
We recommend a constitutional amend
ment providing for the election of the
president. vice president and United
States senators by direct vote of the
people.
Towards securing these and kindred
blessings We earnestly invite the co-ope-
ration of all patriotic citizens who are
opposed TO Imperialism in this country
and who favor the perpetuity of the re-
public and desire the blessings of liberty
for ourselves and our posterity.
