GIVEN THE CUE

From Washington has come the
word that the Republican leaders
have decreed that the Ohio general
assembly, which it must be remem-
bered is Republican IN both branches
must stop its bush-whackng methods
and give Governor Harmon support
in the reform which he is seeking to
begin. 1t seems strange that the
Ohio Republicans cannot make a
mcye i'm any direction until they have
heard from Washington. Even the
men at Washington, though, cannot
be given credit for being in sympa-
thy with Governor Harmon and the
things for which he stands. They
only fear that II the Republicans
