SAMPLE OF PEANUT POLITICS

The Ohio Safe Journal (Rep) says:
"The failure of the Legislature to enact
the central board bill seems like a
piece of peanut politics. Quite right.
1t was peanut politics by the peanut
&. o p. majority in the house.
OF course 1t will be claimed that the
Democratic minority in the house join
cd with the Republican majority in
this piece of peanut politics But the
Democrats, by reason of the fact that
they were in the minority, saw that
they could not get all that the govern
or recommended and voted for the
emasculated bill as the best they could
get rather than get nothing at all. The
bill was emasculated by the peanut
politics of the g. o. p. majority and not
by the Democratic minority.
The Journal further says: but
the reform will be attended to by an
other Legislature"
Right again. But the state of Ohio
will have to have legislature with
q Democratic majority in both branch
es before it can expect to obtain re-
forms recommended and urged by
Governor Harmon.
