is in the right breast, an inch above
the nipple. The course OF the bullet
appears to be down and toward the

Political Gossip

Petitions are being circulated in this
city in behalf Of Governor Harmon's
candidacy for the presidential nomina-
ton. Deputy Sheriff Betz, who is carry
ing one of the petitions to get a little
exercise for the base ball season, said
yesterday that not a few voters declined
to sign the nominating petition. Posi-
bly, if the Governor views on the Aid
rich bankers scheme and few other
things he can't be located on, could be
properly explained, this reluctance
might be overcome. Still he's against
popular rule-with Taft and Foraker
against mob" rule and didn't he tell
the rabble so before the constitutional
convention recently. After reading the
returns on the |. and r. proposal yester-
day and his efforts to buck it off the
track, perhaps it will be harder than ever
to get an expression on some of the
qeustions that agitate the public mind.

ORGANIZATION
Effected AS Result Of Meeting 90
War on Plans Of AugIaize
Water Power Co.

The second meeting Of indignant land
owners to protest against the action of
the State Board Of Public Works in
granting the J. NJ. Ashley power syndi-
cate the privilege to use the Mercer
County reservoir for a small yearly rem
tai and to defeat the plans of that COM
Pany to practically control as we'll as to
use the lake for a storage reservoir to
supply water for their power during the
dry months Of the year, was held at the
courtroom last Saturday afternoon. The
meeting brought out a tremendous
crowd of interested land owners from
the south side of the lake and along the
course Of Beaver, while a goodly num-
Der were present from Auglaize County
and from Adams and Jay Counties, In
diana.
1t was generally expected that Attor-
ney General Hogan or one of his assis-
tants would be here to attend the meet
ing, but Speaker Vining, who returned
from Columbus Saturday morning, fur
nished the information that Mr.. Mar
shal, the Attorney Generals chief coun-
sci, had informed him that Mr.. Hogan
could not get away at the time, and that
he would not send one of his assistants,
as it was his desire to take the matter up
himself.
In view Of this the following commit
tee was appointed to confer with the
Attorney General and if possible per
suade him to come here and look over
the lay of the land affected: Speaker S.
J. Vining, ex-Congressman W. E. Tou-
Velle, ex-Probate Judge c. S. Younger,
Civil. Engineer 1. f. Raudabaugh, and
John Pax, of this city; ex-Commissioner
Isaac Brandon and Frank Dorston, of
Franklin township; Henry Martin and
George Fennig, of New Corydon, Ind,
and John Koehn and Ewald Kallmeyer,
Of Auglaize County.
At the close of the general meeting
the committee met and organized by the
selection of the following officers: Chair
man, c. S. Younger; Secretary, S. J.
Vining; Treasurer, John Pax.

QUESTION Of
ISSUING BONDS
For Sewerage Purposes 60 Come
Before Council Next Tues
day Night for Action.

Council met in adjourned session last
night, and after stormy session Of two
hours adjourned again until next Tues
day night, when final action will be
taken in regard to submitting the ques-
ton of issuing bonds in the.sum of from
$50, 900 to $4,000 to the people of the
town, at the time of holding the spring
primary, on May 2l, for the purpose Of
constructing compile sewerage system.
A resolution accepting the changed
plat of the Wilkin addition, in the south
west part of town, was passed last night
by unanimous vote.
The matter of a public market and
the selection of a night policeman was
laid over until next Tuesday night
Ex-Mayor Kenney was present at the
meeting and delivered himself on the
sewerage proposition, that comes up
each recurring season and still remains
unsolved He said he favored bonding
the town by general taxation for a COM
plete sewerage system, that would reach
and serve all corners of the town, and
was heartily applauded when he declar-
ed himself unreservedly for the inn
provement II live on Main street, am
paying for the Main street sewer, but l
will vote to bond the town for complete
sewerage system, and the sooner the
better"
His deliverance along this line was
occasioned by Councilman Lennartz say
ing that North Main street resident
had said he would vote against the issue
if the money was to be raised by general
taxation, as the Main street sewer afford
ed him all the drainaged he needed, a
narrow and selfish view to take of a
public improvement for the convenience,
health and general welfare of the COM
munity. Such citizenship tends to make
one think that the hog hasn't monopo-
ly on bristles.
Mayor Miller and Solicitor Johnson,
both Main street residents, joined with
Kenney in favoring the general tax plan,
and the Solicitor was instructed to pre-
pare the resolution with this idea in
view-a complete system-from north to
south, from east to west, covering every
street of the town.

TRUSTEES TO
HAVE FULL SWAY
In the Matter of Looking After
Public Highways of County
Appropriations.

The trustees of the various town
ships of the county met with the Com
missioners In this city last Saturday,
in regard to the division of the pike
repair money. With the exception oi
the trustees of this township, all
agreed to a man to take charge of the
pike repair work in their respective
diggin's.
The jefferson township board refus-
ed to accept the extra work thus plac.
ed upon them, on the grounds that
they were now drawing all the money
allotted and they would receive no pay
for this extra time they would be
compelled to put in.
By this new arrangement all pix .
superintendents heretofore appointed
by the Commissioners and now acting
are dismissed, excepting those in JEFF.
erson township, who will still be ur-
der the direction of the Board.
All the other superintendents will
be appointed by the trustees of the
different townships and will look after
the pike repair only in their township.
Their bills will have to be presented
to the township trustees and o. KID
before they are filed with the Auditor
for allowance by the commissioners.
The object of this new arrangement
is to place the work of repairing the
pixies directly under the supervision
of the trustees in their respective town
ships, thus bringing the matter closer
home. 1t is believed the change will
place the roads In better shape than
heretofore.
The Commissioners at the meeting
apportioned to the different township
trustees the amount of pike repair they
would receive the coming year. In
making the apportionment the Board
took into consideration the amount
expended by the different townships
for this purpose since last fall, and
allotted the big share of the money,
which includes the coming June tax
levy, to the townships to date which
had received the small end of the
fund. On this account jefferson and
Butler townships were allotted but
5000 each as they had used over $1,000
of the fund since last fall.
The allotment was as follows:
The first column of figures shows
the amount expended from Sept. 1,l9ll,
to March /, 1912.
The second shows amount appor-
toned for coming year up to and in
cluding March /, 1913.

A Columbus dispatch has the follow
ing to say of the triumph of the initia
tive and referendum in the constitu'
tional convention Wednesday night, a
copy of the proposal (briefly outlined
above) reaching THE DEMOCRAT yester-
day through the courtesy of Hon. H. c.
Fox, Mercer County's delegate in the
convention
Combining the concessions of the
radicals on both sides, the WEAKNESS of
the delegates and the magnetic elo-
qence of President Herbert Bigelow the
supporters of the initiative and referen-
dunn principal of government tonight,
after an exciting day filled with stirring
incidents, adopted the compromise pro-
posal of the conservative element by the
magnificent vote of 81 to 15.
"As adopted, and as it will be finally
passed, the proposal patterns after the
so-called Wisconsin model All legisla-
tive propositions emanating from the
people must be submitted to the General
Assembly to be acted upon Within four
months.
1t proved a hard fight to compel the
friends of the direct initiatives to sur
render this plan, which had the appro-
val of William J. Bryan and Governor
Hiram Johnson of California.
They succeeded, however, in saving
the right of the people to initiate con-
stitutional amendments directly, but the
percentage was placed SO high-12 per
cent-that it will be seldom if ever ex-
ercised. This will require a petition of
about 14O, 600 names
The alternative form, that of present
ing petition signed by per cent to the
General Assembly praying the submis-
sion of the amendment in regular fash
ion, will undoubtedly prove the most at
tractive. A majority of those voting
upon an amendment will carry it.
