cal count; and, finally, that at least
a modest appropriation should be
made to the end that the weights and
measures laws might become effec
tive
The changes in the law as above
outlined were made by the general
assembly, and State Sealer Strobe at
once put new life into the weights
| and measures department by issuing
a circular of instructions to all county
and city sealers.
1t was well past the middle of June,
1911, when this work was inaugur-
ated, but the response to the circular
was immediate and effective and the
state department had the instant CO.
operation of most of the county and
city sealers.
In little more than one year since
these changes became effective, GA of
the S8 counties have secured new
standards and the sealers are dill
gently and enthusiastically at work.
In this short time the department has
demonstrated that the work of cor
recting conditions with reference to
weighing and measuring devices is
among the most important in the
state. The public is just awaking to
this fact and a united public senti-
ment will make the task of the seal.
ers much easier. The state sealer Is
vigorously keeping up this campaign
of education and is gratified to know
that he has the earnest support of
the entire press of the state.

POLLS SHOW THAT
WILSON WILL WIN

Two of the largest and most influ.
ential Republican papers in the
United States, while supporting Presi-
dent Taft in his campaign, practically
concede the election of Governor
Wilson. The two papers are the New
York Herald and the Chicago Record
Herald The publications have been
conducting a nationwide poll and,
Judging from the results obtained,
Governor Wilson will sweep the
country
The Herald has been carrying on
straw votes for more than a score Of
years, and its canvass in past years
have always been verified in No
vember.
The New York Sun, which is also
supporting Taft prints the following
review Of the Herald's efforts.
"The Herald publishes it's first in
stallment of it's countrywide review
Of the presidential situation, and its
indications are that Wilson is easily
leading both Taft and Roosevelt, with
Taft running third, according to the
straw ballots. More than 24,000 test
ballots were taken in various parts of
the country.
"Of the total straw ballots taken in
oll regions the result was as follows:
Wilson. 11,164; Roosevelt 7,147;
Taft, >4791; Debs, 1900"
n Ohio Wilson obtained 1914
Yotes; Tai, 942; Roosevelt, 81S.
A POTENTIAL FACTOR
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1912-10-11
Why the Dollar Counts

In this campaign the issues lie between the forces of
Representative Government and Popular Government.
In Representative Government only part of the people
have influence those with political faith who spend
fortunes in any direction where their ends are fur
thered Tor money.
In Popular Government all the people have influence
because their executives and Legislators do dare to
thwart the expressed will of the people.
Representative Government as ever this year is being
supported by the money of the Interests is being spent
lavlshy to give the voters wrong impression of Wilson,
Popular Government this year. wn must depend on the
truth being told about Wilson We publish his record
and platform broadcast so that no conrovertit
Your ST. your 49, your S. your $40 $40 will count and

REPUBLICAN JUDGES
FREE A Big BOSS

Delegates to the state Republican
cClvention in 1903 were given circu-
lars containing an attack upon the
supreme court of Ohio, then made
up of Republicans, in general, and
Justice Shauck, in particular.
This circular aroused a storm of
criticism which ended with the cleo
ton of two Democrats to the court
in 1910. A decision was given by that
tribunal early in 1911 in favor of
the Republican Boss of Cincinnati,
in his efforts to prevent Prosecutor
Henry T. Hunt of Hamilton county
Cincinnati bringing him to trial on a
perjury charge before a judge who
did not owe his nomination to boss
ism, indicates that there is need for
further cleansing.
Judge Charles J. Hunt, a Republi-
can member of the Hamilton county
bench, one of the boss nominees.
Prosecutor Hunt claimed usurped the
functions of presiding judge and as
signed Judge Samuel L. Dickson,
another boss-made judge, to try the
perjury charge against the politician
Defeated in his efforts to compel the
boss to plead to the indictment in an
other court, Prosecutor Hunt applied
to the supreme court for leave to file
a petition in quo warranto to ascer-
tain by what authority Judge Hunt
was acting as presiding officer of
the court. But in a decision concur
red in by the Republican judges of
the supreme court, and to which the
two Democratic members dissented,
the application was denied and a |
few weeks later Judge Dickson mol, |
lied the indictment against the boss
and set him free without a trial on

Walter Brown, former Republican
boss, who is leading the Third Term
ers In Ohio, and Lewellyn Lewis,
brother Of Tom Lewis, Republican
candidate for secretary of state, are
engaged in a mud-throwing contest,
with the result that both are badly
smeared, while the political integrity
of Tom Lewis has been questioned.
Lewellyn Lewis opened hostilities
| by charging that Brown oered him
$4,000 to induce his brother Tom to
run as a Roosevelt delegate to the G..
o. p. national convention last spring,
and that the offer was refused. Brown
replies that II was Lewellyn who told
him that his brother Tom could be
purchased for $4,000, and that he
Brown declined, so that one OF the
two mud throwers belongs in the
Ananias club. Thousands Of Republi-
cans are becoming disgusted as they
watch one wing Of their party point
out the rottenness of the other and
are going to vote the Democratic
ticket.
Brown says: early in April last,
Michael Gallagher of Steubenville
called me by telephone at Toledo and
stated that e. e. Erskine Of Jefferson
county and Tom L. Lewis Of Belmont
county were willing to run as Roose-
welt delegates for the Sixteenth dis
trict and had been decided upon by
the Roosevelt leaders, subject to my
approval. I acquiesced in the selec-
ton.
when reached Columbus the
next day to attend the Constitutional
Convention, found at the Neil House
the card of Lewellyn Lewis with a
penciled statement that he wished to-
see me. Later in the afternoon, while
was in the convention, was in
formed by a page that someone
wished to see me in the hall. / went
out into the corridor and there found
a man who introduced himself as
Lewellyn Lewis.
my recollection of our brief con-
versation is both clear and accurate.
"He said, Mr.. Brown, the Roose-
welt people in the Sixteenth district
want my brother Tom to run as
Roosevelt delegate to the national
convention. How about the finance?'
81 said, Just what do you mean?
"'Well, it will be hard fight over
there he answered, and will take
lots of money to make the right kind
of a campaign
"rHow much?' inquired.
owe will have to have $5,OOO,' was
his answer.
when I had sufficiently recovered |
from the shock to speak, 1 said, For
what will you need such a sum of
money as that in order to make a |
campaign for delegate to the national
convention?
"He said, Tt will take all of Toms
time and mine for about six weeks,
and besides it win make a lot of fell
lows sore, and we can't afford to go
into it for less than that. If it's
worth that much to you, we'll go
ahead. Otherwise Tom won't run
'1 answered, Very well, Mr.. Lewis,
if there is anything more to be said
on the subject you will hear from me,
and went back into the convention.
THAT is the only communication,
direct or indirect, which have had
with either of the Lewises.
"When the Constitutional Conven.
ton adjourned for the day, called
Mr.. Gallagher on the telephone and
told him the terms upon which Mr.
Lewis said his brother was willing to
run. Mr.. Gallagher expressed his
and indignation, and said
they would at once look for another
candidate. Mr. Cook Danford of Bel
laire was then selected"

FINANCE
SHEET APPROVED

The final approval OF the city finance
sheet was the most important matter
handled by the city council this after
noon, at the meeting which began at 3
o'clock.
The street committee reported bids for
the paving of Forsyth street between Ala
bama and Mitchell streets, and the park
committee reported against giving por-
ton of Piedmont park for new Eighth
ward school
The ordinance committee submitted
favorable report on the ordinance Great
ing smoke commission, an advisory
board which will investigate .Atlanta's
smoke nuisance, and an inspector of
smoke and meters at salary of 81 400 q
year.
The report of the charter revision com
mittee was submitted for consideration.
Its most important feature is an amend
ment providing for the retirement of city
officials and employees who have served
20 years The present pension law per
mits such veterans to retire upon their
own wish but 1t is proposed to give coun-
ell the right to order such retirement,

of policemen and fremen.
