COLUMBUS LETTER

Napoleon. as trustee of the Toledo
cratic majority in the senate is threat
ened.
The Democrats find themselves be-
tween the devil and the deep blue
sea. Senator Lamb is against the
Gratis vote against Heller they are
likely to invite dangerous reprisals
from the Toledo senator, who holds
the political comp1exion of the SEN
ate in the hollow of his hand. On
the other hand, if the Democrats vote
against Heller and Governor Patti
son favors his appointment, it will be
showing glaring discourtesy to Pat
tison on his first appointive act
In this way Lamb may be brought
into direct opposition to the govern
or. 1t is Lambs first demand and
he is unalterably opposed to Heller's
retention.
DR.. H. O. Eyman and the board of
directors of the Massillon state hos
pital, has appealed to the general as
sembly for an appropriation of money
sufficiently large to establish con-
servatory.
Something will certainly be done
to change the present board of review
law" said Senator Lamb Monday.
"It is an outrage as it stands. Think
of $4,000 year for that board in
Toledo and the county auditor draw
ing $4,000 more. total of $40, 900 in
addition to the pay of assessors
81 agree with Senator Howe. that
in most of the cities the boards were
created and the members named in
the interest of the big corporations. "
Women of Ohio who have been lob
| bying ON the floor of the general as
sembly, and petitioning by the yard,
| to vote at local option elections. seem
to have been expending their energies
| in the wrong direction.
Instead of lobbying with the leg
islature they should turn their atten-
tion to the Anti-Saloon league
The Briggs bill, calculated to give
women the right to vote on temper
ance questions, specifically states that
they shall not petition for such cleo
| tion and the petition feature seems
to be tabooed pretty generally, with
respect to women.
But the Jones bill, the Anti-Saloon
league measure introduced, does moi
| provide for an election; but recognizes
petitions only.
out of the right to take part in resi-
dence district option matters
They can't vote if there isn't ar
/ election, SO the right they seek under
the Briggs bill, and for which they
have been maintaining determined
lobby, would do them no good IL the!
had it, except in Beal elections. Ant
there are not likely to be any Bea
elections in the large cities
1t is expected that the two interest,
will clash before the subject is set
