Cincinnati,so Oct. 26.-For several
days the investigation of illegal regis
tration in this city has been in prog
ress and the evidence of crookedness
has been piling up until, 1t would
seem, this mass of rottenness would
stir up the daily newspapers to the
highest pitch or indignation. But 1t
has not Every newspaper in Cincin-
natl has been cognizant of what has
been done and learned, and only one
has ever made mention of It, This one
spoke of the subject lightly and buried
the item in dead column called "Po-
litical Gossip
Here a corrupt gang is preparing to
steal 10000 or more votes-is doing II
openly and boldly, and is protected not
only by the municipal and police au-
thorities, but even by the newspapers
Of the city, these leaders of thought
and morals-molders OF public opinion.
Decent people cannot be so much blam-
ed for believing that reports of munich
pal and political rottenness in their
city are exaggerated, when their news
papers are silent.
In yesterdays dispatch 1t was prom
ised that today there would be given
report made by detective. 1t is
signed by H. G. Harnett, "sleuth"
brought by the local committee of cit
izens from Philadelphia to do this
work. 1t is addressed to the man who
has charge Of the investigation, and Is
as follows:
Thursday went to some of the
places which, you told me, were nests
of fioaters. / first visited the old Ger
amnia hotel. down near the river in
the Eighth ward. 1t has been turned
into an apartment house and Is occu-
pied by some of the most wretched
families l have ever seen. Compare
lively few people are living In 1t now.
l was told by some of those living
there that a few days before election
each year tenants begin to arrive until,
the day before election, it is swarming
with people from cellar to garret. The
new comers are from Kentucky. across
the river, and from Ripley and other
up-river towns on the Ohio side. Votes
are cheap all through this river district

vocating anti-saloon measures mainly
for political purposes and that he re-
grets the enactment of the Watts bill.
Why? listen: He advocated the. passage
of the London bill without submitting
the same to the people, when certainly
would have worked the undoing of th9
Democratic party (this he has ever been
ready to assist in), yet, in the last issue
of the Recorder he is advocating the
Initiative and Referendum" as the DEM

issue suggests convention of anti-saloon

bill has broken up gambling. | dun no
how that is, but it anyway further
from the road. What we want is a City
Government that will smut up the inn
moral houses and compel the soiled doves
to fly. Some folks say it cant be done
and it does harm even to talk about it.
1t does the same harm that it does to
talk about a hog pen under your window
unless you intend to clean it up, But
if Raleigh will put courageous men in
control of affairs. with a resolute police
force, the evil can be stamped out. To
put about n dozen of the inmates and
frequenters of these dens on the roads
would, be a wholesome example.
There is one more thing" said the Old
Codger as he made preparations for
going. Il hear right smart of talk about
the necessity Of reform in the city gov
eminent and l think it is needed. Why
not require the Board of Aldermen to
publish every month an itemized account
OF all expenditures? Next to a police
mans billy and a cell in jail, l begin to
believe that Mr.. Publicity is a pretty
good thing to regulate a city government.
What? You are going to print my plat
form and my views on city politics and
reform in Sundays News and Observer
Well, | don't care if you do, if you will
dress it up a little. l may not use as
good grammar as Mayor Powell; may
lot know as much about street building
as John Drewry; may not be an expert

Sale; may not understand the science of
politics as we'll as Armistead Jones, Bill
Russ Brown Pegram and Charley Ar
thur; may not be as practical a reformer
as Stan Wynne, Joe Pogue, Alf Thomp-
son and Yves Jones'. may not shake
hands as well as Frank Stronach and
Tom Badger; may not know as much
about Polio, Commission as Fred Habel
Falc Arendell, Walter Watson or Alex
Andrews Ct mean little Alex, for Alex
ander the Great is so bent on keeping
Durham from having decent depot and
lodging taxes that he has bequeathed
the duty of running the city to little
Alex: and l may not be up to snuff
as we'll as some other folks who are
taking the lead in city politics, but l do
know thing or two about city politics. It
might not be popular for candidate to
plant his number ten on my platform,
but I'd rather get licked on a plat
form that means something than to win
on an oil and water platform that pleases
robody and does nothing. Afraid l am a
back number? Not much. The people
are gettin' mighty tired of straddlers and
reforms that don't reform. They want
clean city government ard the real re-
forms l have put down in my platform,
and if good men will have the courage to
run on that platform they viii find a
host of good citizens who will be glad
to hold up their hands. The
people are long ways ahead of
the men who are at the head
IN wanting my platform and if l were ten
years Younger / would run for mayor
on this platform myself. and | tell you
there would be rafting of dry bones

scuffe you ever saw and I'd keep up the
row until I'd carried out every pledge in
