OHIO VOTERS

COLUMBUS. o.. March 10.-Far
reaching changes in the organic Law
OF the state will be submitted to the
voters of Ohio next fall for their adop
ton or rejection. Delegates to the
fourth constitutional convention OF
the state now in session here to-day
estimated that probably thirty amend.
ments to the charter OF the common.
wealth would be submitted. In the
nine weeks of elaboration by the
convention since January four i'm
portant propositions have been ap.
proved for submission
Chief among the amendments so
Tar prepared was one providing for
woman suffrage. This amendment, II
ratified by the people. would give to
women full and equal suffrage with
men. The proposal passed the con-
vention by large majority vote pri-
marily because many delegates de-
sired to let the determination of the
question rest entirely with the
electors.
In passing an amendment to pro-
vide for the licensing of the liquor
traffic. delegates expressed themselves
as believing they had settled the Ques-
ton which has causd greatest dissen.
sion and strife in politics throughout
the state during the past sixty years
The license proposal adopted will
limit the traffic to one saloon for five
hundred population. prohibits brewery
owned saloons and preserves all ex-
listing local option laws. Both lead
ers OF the temperance and lisuor or.
CARNATIONS have asserted that they
will not oppose the approval Of the
proposal of the electors.
The other two amendments approved
by the convention provide for the con
struction OF = modern system OF high
ways throughout the state and reform
or the jury system. The electors will
have to approve the issue OF $50 OOO. 0OG

Highway amendment

nifty rule for verdicts will he abolish ed

While Roosevelt is posing
as trust buster, it must not
be forgotten that his chief
lieutenant in the present
campaign, George w. Perkins
is also a trusted lieutenant of
several Of the largest trusts
in this country. In referring
to this fact, the Salt Lake
Herald Republican says:
"Mr. Perkins, the brother
in-arms of Colonel Roosevelt,
the chief lieutenant in immed-
late command of the right
eous hosts as they gather at
Armageddon to do battle for
the Lord is a partner of j.
p. Morgan 4 Co., which pro-
NOTED the steel trust, the
harvester trust, the wire
trust, the lumber trust, the
beef trust and every other
combination of capital that
has been under fire from the
government. He is the ac.
credited political agent of the
money trust without whose
approval no great commercial
project can be launched or
successfully completed. The
activity of Perkins renders it
necessary to believe that this
great combination of trusts
wants Roosevelt for Presi
dent and wants him very bad
ly. If they did not want him,
George w. Perkins would not
be so active in the Roosevelt
interest; he would not be f.
nancing and directing the
affairs Of the Bull Moose
party.
Does anybody suppose
that the trusts would want
Roosevelt unless they had
use for him? Does anybody
suppose that they would sup
port a chief executive who
would enforce antitrust leg
islation? Does anybody sup
pose that Mr.. Roosevelt, the
candidate of the trusts, will
do anything, it elected, to in
jure the interests of these
trusts? Does anybody sup
pose that these cool and cal
culating gentlemen, who have
IN their hands a great proper
ton of the wealth of the
United States and wish to
keep it there, would support
Theodore Roosevelt unless
they had a definite under
standing with him as to what
he would, and would not, do?
And, in view of that under
standing, does anybody sup
pose that, If elected, Colonel
Roosevelt can give any con-
sideration to the wishes of
the working men and women
when they conflict with the
interests of the predatory
trusts? And is anybody, with
a modicum of common sense,
in any doubt as to the only
truthful answer to these aues-
tions?
Eyes, the brother-in- arms
of Mr.. Roosevelt, the chief
lieutenant of the colonel in
command of the hosts Of
righteousness as they gather
"a Armageddon to do battle
for the Lord is George W.
Perkins, financial and polit-
zeal agent of the great COM
binations Of capital, director
in their banks and bondhold=

enterprises"

RATHER UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE
! From His Actions, He Must Have

Richard Harding Davis, during his
Atlantic City honeymoon, said at a
fish luncheon:
Il confess that am not pleased with
the modern trend of fiction. The new
est fiction is nasty. 1t leaves a bad
taste in the mouth. 1t is full OF
double entendre-like the parloI
maids remark.
"A gentleman came down to break
fast one morning with bloodshot eyes
He drank eight glasses of ice water
hurriedly then he muttered, hoarse
ly, to the pretty parlor maid:
Tell me, Adele, did | reach home
last night very much under the
weather.
Indeed you did, sir" the maid re.
piled. Why, sir, you kissed the
missis!'"
