his country. He has laid plans for
building railway which will connect

not yet been worked out it seems to
be the general sentiment among COM
mission government advocates that a
special election should be held in Oc-
tober and the fate of the new charter
decided at that time This plan is
urged for the reason that it would
permit of giving the entire time to
the subject of commission government
without any distraction from political
fights. 1t is generally felt that the
new charter would have been adopted
two years ago had ii not been for the
hot mayorality fight that was on and
which caused the commission govern
ment issue to be overshadowed.
In preparing the new charter for
submission this fall the workers will
have the benefit of the work done two
years ago. For the most part the
charter submitted at that time will
still suffice. However, several changes
will be imperative because of the
granting of suffrage to women and
because of the change in the date of
the election 1t is also possible that
upon full consideration the old draft
may be altered in other features.
At the meeting Thursday steps will
be taken looking to drafting the new
charter ana getting it before the peo-
pie under the initiative.

Names by Observation-Disclosures

CLEVELAND, July ia series OF
public prosecutions to stop finally
further attempts at fraud in the use
of the initiative and referendum have
been ordered by Attorney General Ho-
gan. Indications are that scores OF
petition circulators will go to prison
for forgery as result of their eff
forts to get referendum vote on the
Green law, providing compulsory
compensation for workmen injured in
industrial plants. The Ohio Equity
association started the referendum
and recently petitions were filed. An
examination deeloped that at least
quarters of the names were
forged.
A canvass shows that less than one
per cent of the names examined so
far are genuine. Names of dead men
and women and persons now living
outside the state were copied from old
directories and telephone books, ac-
cording to confessions of some Of the
petition circulators 1t is declared
the solicitors were paid five cents a
name and some. by using directories,
cleared $40 a day.
The Ohio Equity association, state
officials say. had no part in the fraud
but was buncoed by agents.
