The Executive Power.

Gov. Judson Harmon, Ohio's new Demo
cratic chief magistrate. prefaced his in
augural address with a few reflections on
the changed attitude OF the public toward
the executive power Recalling that the
long struggle for individual liberty was
one for restraint OF the executive. and
that in our own governments he is sub
servient to legislative control over the
public purse, Gov. Harmon remarks that
in spite OF all this. "the chief magistrate
still holds everywhere the foremost place
in popular interest and concern.
