keep the thing out of the hands Of
the committee and when It came to a
vote declared against the resolution
to submit the senatorial election to a
popular vote of the people. Mr.. Metz
ger had, seemingly, desired to escape
going directly on record, but when It.
came to a vote on the resolution he
voted for It, thus declaring that his
preference is that the United States
senator's be elected by vote of the
people. Mr.. Mag, of Mahoning, want
ed an open vote. Mr.. Williams, of
.Mahoning, was not in favor of going
on record on the matter, and wanted
the committee to Go the execution
act privately, but when the house re-
fused to refer the resolution and 1t
was put on it's passage, he was one of
the few Republicans who voted for It.

The result of the action Is that the
legislature of Ohio has declared what
is not fact, that the people of Ohio
are opposed to the election of United
otttCS oCittlOio Wy a VII OSt NOtC VI thS
people. 1t is not unlikely that an.
other resolution will be introduced,
leaving the question Of the preference
of the people of Ohio to vote of the
people OF Ohio, the next legislature to
abide by that decision and do what the
people want them to do.
1t Is said that the representative
who introduced the bill giving bonus
for the scalp of the groundhog, got his
ears frozen grounding day, coming In
In his cracky wagon to the way station
where his railroad pass became oper-

Senator Wilhelm's gold-headed cane,
the birthday remembrance from ALI
ance constituents, is beauty. It. is
almost, but not quite, the equal to the
ones received few years ago by the
president and secretary Of the city
ator and the late president of the
league expect to do some promenading
before the session ends.
Gentlemen of the Anti-Saloon
league are watching Mr.. Williams, Of
Mahoning, very closely. He is tenn
perance man and he is a member OF
the temperance committee, but he
doesn't seem to like tn Beal bill,
from the manner in which he is shoot
ing oil around it and not hitting it,
though exploited as an excellent
marksman.

In endorsing the Patterson measure
to allow the congressional districts
to remain as they are, Mr.. Tayler is

alone" with Mr.. Tayler in the capac-

Mayor Sam Jones, of Toledo, has a
municipal code bill. He is going to
join Mayor Johnson in the lobby; some
time Wednesday, and bring his code
with him. 1t is said to be somewhat
more voluminous than the golden rule.
Since getting that gold-headcd cane
Senator Wilhelm has developed a
frightful case OF gout. of the Mark
Hanna species. He can't go anywhere
now without cane.
A determined effort was made by
your correspondent to get the warning
delegations from New Baltimore in
small room adjoining the senate cham
ber, but they did no. appear to aprrc-
ciatc newspaper enterprise.
The perslstepcy of Sam Ne~house,
Of New Baltimore, rs lobbyist, COM
nended itself to the Anti-Saloon
league and he had narrow escape
from being attached to it's staff. Joe
Miller, of the liquor leagua also had
his eye on him.
c. c. Baker, Of Alliance, was in Co
lumbus Tuesday. When congressional
matters we're mentioned he became
as mum as the proverblal crustacean.
Representative Prices bill increas-
ing the Dow tax got second reading
Tuesday. It now goes to committee.
It will not die there. To your cor
respondent Mr.. Price stated that II II
did not come back from the committee
within a reasonable time he would
make motion to take 1t from the
committee. Even If the house did not
desire to take it from the committee
1t would thus be put on record.
