ROOSEVELT GETS
OVATION in Ohio

COLUMBUS, o. Special Ex-
President Theodore Roosevelt raped
President Taft and advocated prac-
tically every progressive. measure ad-
vanced during the last few years, in
his address before the Ohio Consti-
tutional Convention here today.
Using the phrase, I'VE progress
sives," Colonel Roosevelt came out
with the most complete declaration
of his. ideas that he has given in
many months, and defined the views
that will probably form the basis of
his platform in case he is nominated
for presidency.
Among the progressive measures
urged by the ex-President were:
Government supervision of corpora
tons.
Direct election of senators.
The short ballot.
Direct nominations by the people.
including national convention dele
gates.
The initiative and referendum.
The recall, including recall of
judges and special recall of specific
judicial decisions.
In speaking for the recall OF judges
Colonel Roosevelt delivered a broad
side against President Taft's recent
utterance to the effect that the peo-
pie were incompetent to decide when
q judge should be recalled, and, tn ere
fore, should not have the power.
"Our AIM" the colonel said, ''is to
get the right type OF judge, to keep
him on the bench as long as posi-
BILE, and to keep off the bench, and,
II necessary, take Off the bench the
wrong type OF judge.

PROPERTY OWNERS X OBJECT ID SWITCH
sCoTT-MYER GROCER co. WANTS FRANCHISE TO CROSS ELM
 STREET WITH RAILROAD.

The city council Is being asked to grant a franchise to the Scott Myer Grocer Co. for a private track across Elm street opposite their present To- cation. to property recently acquired by them, and the request is encoun- tering considerable opposition from some of the property owners who do not relish further encroachment of tke railroad into the heart of the city and who do not believe 1t right and proper from a number of standpoints to grant the franchise. One argu- ment of those opposing the franchise is that Elm street is a direct route from bath house row and the East
 man hotel 10 Grand avenue and that the street is already obstTueted enough with railroad tracks without more being built and if the franchise is granted Elm street will be avoided as much as possible by vehicles. Dr Laws. who owns the Ozark Sanitor
 ium, and who is one of the chief ob- jectors, state sthat he is contemplat
 ing building a bath house in connec
 ton with his sanitorium, but that if the franchise is granted it is all off so far as the bath house is concerned as he feels that switch across the street in the rear of his property will be a direct damage from noise and smoke Those who are asking the franchise claim that Elm street in this vicinity is destined 10 become wholesale district on account of railroad and switch, but this areu- ment is combatted by those in oDpo- sition that if the railroad ever crosses the street it is only a ques- ton of time until the tracks are ex tended to Central avenue or within a short distance of that thoroughfare, in order for merchants on that street to have track facilities in the rear of their places of business, and that the constant switching Of ears will injure property not being used for mercantile purposes It is stated that the majority of property owners af- fected are against granting the fran chise, and that they will take tho matter up in the courts should the council grant the franchise.
