Not for Judges Recall.

A movement looking to shortening
of convention debates was contained
in resolution offered by Mr.. Pierce
of Butler. He would provide for
morning, afternoon and night ses-
sions, to the end that the convention
may finish its labors with all possible
speed.
In response to a question from Mr..
Thomas, he said: I'm not in favor of
the recall of judges. I'm in favor Of
the recall Of courts back to the peo-
ple." He cited supreme court deci-
sions in an attempt to show that the
supreme court had decided SO report
ed cases, constituting the law in favor
of the corporations to once in favor of
the individual.
Mr.. Thomas said it kept the labor
unions busy correcting the miscon-
struction of law by the supreme court.

Liquor License Plan Stands.
The liberal forces of the state will
be unable to induce the constitu'
tional convention to soften the pro
vision in the license proposal regard
ing the lessening of the number Of
saloons, and there will be no general
reopening of the liquor license fight.
This has been assured by the ac-
tion of the subcommittee of the re-
cent license caucus in ignoring the
request of the liberals for a gradual
instead of sudden reduction in the
number of saloons. The sub-commit-
tee consisting of seven delegates,
after canvassing the whole situation
In the convention has decided that 1t
will be impossible to get the request
through. The subcommittee, all Of
whom are friendly to license, has
therefore recommended only one sob
stantial change in tire proposal and
that Is, that in the limitation provi-
sion, wholesale houses and places
where liquors are manufactured, be
exempted. There is no objection to
this from the author Of the proposal
Mr.. Anderson of Mahoning county
and It is likely to go through. II
would make the pro0osal limit the
number of saloons proper and not
the wholesale and manufacturing
places.
The report Of the subcommittee
means virtual surrender of the liber
ais, so far is concerned any big re
opening of fight 20 soften the blow
that will come through a sudden re
duction in the number of saloons
over the state. The reduction is ex
pected to cut off about 5000 of the ap
proximately 5000 saloon in ths
state.

Waich was dcne at the instance of Mr..

proposal reads:
"All nominations for elective state.

Do Away With Conventions.

Admitting that the proposal is legis-
lative and has really no place in the
constitution, the excuse was made
that no general assembly will enact
laws for statewide primaries or for
primaries for state senators. If rati-
fed by the people, the proposal would
do away with the necessity for polit-
ical conventions, save to formulate
party declarations of principles.

strIkes Blow at Woman Suffrage

Stampeded by political issues, the
constitutional convention Tuesday,
took action that will not only strike a
blow at weman suffrage, brt that will
also seriously involve the conventions
work. 1t adopted the Cunningham
proposal to strike the word white"
from the constitution, although the
woman suffrage proposal, adopted
weeks ago, makes provision for the
same thing. Serious conflict in the
constitution will result if the people
adopt both proposals, since the instru-
ment will contain a contradiction.

Peck Proposals Meets Approval Of
Anderson.

HnueTSoH.
Rights of litigants are most amply
protected under the Peck judicial re-
form proposal, according to Delegate
D. F.. Anderson of Mahoning, one of
the committee of the constitutional
convention which whipped the orig
inal proposal into shape before its
passage last week. Mr.. Anderson be-
lieves that it will be ratified by the
people at the polls and will go fur
ther than any step taken in Ohio in
many years to recall the judges to the
people, which he thinks is greatly to
be preferred over the recall of judges
and the recall of judicial decisions.
The Peck proposal will help sub
stantially in getting away from judge
made law, that is, law established by
series of decisions, according to Mr..
Anderson, which he brands as the
worst system of lawmaking in Amer
lean Jurisprudence. 1t will reduce the
expense of trials and will obviate
many of the laws delays against
which much compliant has been di'
rected in recent times.

Lawyer Delegates Fall to Help.

If there is any judicial reform in
Ohio as a result of the constitutional
conventions work, the people will
have the non-lawyer delegates to
thank for it.
It's doubtful if there would have
been very much reform worth while if
the lawyer delegates had been given
a free hand in drafting the proposal.
During most of the long drawn out de-
bate they were quibbling, and at times
snarling, over technicalities that
meant nothing to the 'layman" seek.
ing real reform.
The result was that the non-lawyer
delegates came to the conclusion that
many of the lawyers didn't want liti.
cation cheapened and shortened; and
once having come to this conclusion,
the laymen lined up solidly behind the
venerable Juge Peck of Cincinnati
who was fighting for real reform, and
put through the Peck program without
allowing the quarrelsome lawyers
hardly to dot an 'i' or cross It,"
