STANLEY TO RESCUE.
w ill Fill Dates Of Congressman
Long Who Is Sick.

It is not often that political rivals fill
dates for one another, but that is what
Gov Stanley is doing today for Congress-
man Long. Mr.. Long had a date for po-
litical speech at WaKeeney- 1t was not
congressional campaign speech. as Wa
keeney is outside of the district, but was
one of the. series he has agreed to make
in the Sixth district. But Mr.. Long is i'll
in Kansas City and will not be able TO
be out for several days, when Chair
man Albaugh asked Governor Stanley to
fill Mr.. Longs date the governor readily
consented.
Mr.. Long has not been we'll since the
adjournment of congress. He worked very
hard during the session and the fight for
Cuban reciprocity was strain upon him.
About the time that Congressman Curtis
was taken sick Mr.. Long also was confined
to his room for a few days. but did not
give up his work He began his congress
slonal campaign on time and filed his first
assignment of dates, although he thought
at one time that he would be compelled
to abandon it.
Last week he went to Kansas City to
meet his family, who had been at Excelsior
Springs, and was taken ill at the Bonaven-
ture hotel. It developed that he was
threatened with typhoid fever A physician
has been working with him to get the fe-
yer down and a telephone message today
to Ralph Faxon, his private secretary, an
nounced that the fever had left him and it
is now only a question of rest and quiet
for a few days. Mr.. Long Is expecting
to be able to go out to the Sixth district
and begin speaking the latter part of the
week.

Government Of Towns and Cities
in Chaotic State.

Columbus, O., Aug 25.-The Ohio leg
islature convened at p m today in exc
traordtnary session to enact laws 10
provide for the government of munich
palities and to restore lost jurisdiction
to the supreme court these matters hav-
ing been renderd chaotic by the action
of that court during the early summer.
The governors message. accompanied
by municipal code bill prepared under
the direction of the chief executive, was
received, after which adjournment was
taken.
In his message Governor Nash calls
attention to the act passed last May de-
priving the supreme court of nearly all
the appellate jurisdiction formerly pos
act is recommended, and continuing the
message says:
During the last days of June the SUI
preme court of the state handed down
several decisions which practically de-
prfved our municipal corporations of all
government 1t is apparent that this Is
an extraordinary occasion which needs
remedy at the earliest possible mo-
ment- Constitutional government must
be restored to our cities and villages.
The labor demanded of us is not SO
much a work of construction as of re-
adjustment. The question now is not
what we think would be a model mu-
nicipal government, but what we can
get considering the constitutional hmi-
tatfOns and the circumstances surround
ing us. The task must be approached
with a spirit of give and take and
with determination to accomplish
something which will bring order out OF
chaos. 1t is time enough to attempt to
have our favorite ideas in regard to mu-
inequalities incorporated into law after
order has been restored and when the
general assembly has ample time at its
regular session to discuss and consider
them"
The governor then traces briefly the
history of constitutional government of
municipalities in Ohio and advises that
the legislature ignore the requests for
a constitutional convention. He then
submits his ideas of the necessity of
the situation in the form of a municipal
code bill. the enactment of which he
recommends.
Concluding, the governor says:
Il suggest that by joint resolutions
| you refer the school laws to the state
commissioner of common schools and
the attorney general; the laws relating
to the compensation of county officers
| to the auditor of state, secretary of
state and the attorney general: the laws
| relating to registration and elections to
! the secretary of state, and the laws re-
lating to annual boards of equalization
! to the auditor of state. with instruc-
tions to revise and recodify said laws.
| remove therefrom all imperfections and
! have their work ready for presentation
| to the general assembly the first
Monday in January, 1904"
| He earnestly recommends that no
| other subject of legislation be consid-
cred.
