 Democratic Central Committee o1 Hamilton County, Ohio, of which Gin cinnati is the county seat, at recent
 meeting unanimously Indorsed Gov
 Harmon for president This is the Democratic organization which assist ed Mayor-elect Henry T. Hunt to de- feat the city ticket put forth by the notorious Republican Boss, Geo. B. Cox. Cincinnati is normally 15,000 Republican, and the Democrats, assis- ted fby personal efforts by Gov. Har- mon, won despite 'an' indorsement which Pres. Taft gave to the Repub- Harmon are both citizens of Cincin- nati.
 The Enquirer Cincinnati, (Ohio) carried the following report of the meeting:
 "A special meeting of the Hamil- ton County Democratic Central Con- mittee held at the Grand Hotel in dorsed Gov. Judson Harmon as the Democratic candidate for president, and promised him the undivided sup port of the party in this county. All but of the 45 committeeman were present, with Chairman George Dwyer and Secretary Clinton Collins at their post
 ''The resolution indorsing Governor Harmon reads as follows:
 :: Be it Resolved by the Democratic Central Committee of the City of Gin cinnati and of Hamilton County, O., that we heartily indorse the candida cy of Judson Harmon for President of the United States.
 :" The exposure of the former un- businesslike, rotten and fraudulent methods the Capitol of the state of Ohio and their reform; the establish ment of a state tax commission, and the compelling of the public service and other corporations to pay taxes upon the actual value of their prop critics, the reduction of taxes from rates averaging 2 1-2 per cent to a uniform 1 per cent throughout Ohio; the establishment of public utilities commission: the non-partisan election of the judiciary; the nomination of U. S. senators by direct vote of the peo- pie; the establishment of the initia tive and referendum in all municipal ities; the enactment of a law provid- ing for the compensation of injured employees, regardless of the question of negligence, by a state fund Sub- scribed to by employers and employ eeS; the non-partisan state constitu- tutional convention; the limiting of the working hours for women; the es- tablishment of a women's reforma- tory; the teaching of agriculture in the schools; the strict regulation of elections, and the prevention of cor rupt practices and the ratification of the proposed income tax amendment to the Federal Constitution.
 We submit the foregoing as a re- cord of administrative and legisla- tive accomplishment rarely equaled in the annals of this or any other state. We also recall with pride the record of Judson Harmon as lawyer, of the United States and private citizen.
 't When to the foregoing is added the fact that he has carried the state of Ohio on plain Jeffersonian Demo- cratic principles in two elections, at the second of which he received the largest majority ever accorded Dem orat in the State of Ohio, we conf1- dently claim that he is not only the logical but the ideal Democratic can didate for President
