REMINDED OF Their
RESPONSIBILITY
Gov. Cox Declares People Made
New Constitution and He Has
Executed Their Orders.

In Speech at Wauseon ohio Exeeu
tive Asserts New Laws Are Not
Result Of Caprice or Individual De-
slres-contrast Conditions In 1851
and Time When He Took oath Of
Office.
Wauseon, o.-(Special,) )-Governor
James NJ. Cox Thursday made four
addresses, two at Wauseon and two
at Bryan. The first meeting was at
Wauseon, in the afternoon, on the
subject of Farm Problems, The sec
ond at Bryan, on the same subject
Early in the evening he spoke at
Bryan on THE Tendencies Of Gov
ernment," dealing particularly with
problems in the cities. Later in the
evening he spoke on the same sub
ject in Wauseon. In the speech at
Wauseon he said, in part;
81 am mindful of criticism being
registered against this state admin
istration on the ground that II has
done too much. When the critic is
asked to indicate which Of the laws
he would repeal he is at a loss to
name one. But let us consider the
amount Of legislation and the circum'
stances which brought it about. Let
us locate the responsibility and see
what combination of circumstances
brought about the elaborate legisla'
tive program, not that the agencies
responsible should be criticised, be-
cause it is my contention that the
people in directing these changes em'
phasized the dignity of a genuine de-
mocracy in Ohio. Until 1918 Ohio
had operated under two constitutions.
The first was that adopted when the
state was formed. The second grew
out of the constitutional convention

FORTY-FIvE DEAD,
SCORE MISSING
Toll Of Battle Between Militia
and Striking Miners.
LUDLOW DISTRICT A SHAMELESS

Troops Drive Strikers From Their
Tent Colony and II is Charged
Fired II, Burning Many Women and
Children to Death-Latest News Of
the Great Industrial War In the
Colorado Mining District.
Trinidad, Colo, April 22.-At least
As are dead, more than two-thirds Of
them women and children; a score
missing and more than 20 wounded,
as the result of a 14-hour battle which
ragged with uninterrupted fury be.
tween state troops and striking coal
miners in the Ludlow district.
The militia, which drove the strik-
ers from their tent colony and. it is
charged, fired it, involving thereby
the greatest loss of life, are prepar-
ing for a machine gun sortie from
their position along the Colorado &
Southern railroad tracks at either
side of the Ludlow station.
On the surrounding hills, sheltered
by rocks and boulders, 400 strikers
await their coming, while their ranks
are being swelled by grim-faced men
who tramped overland in the dark,
carrying guns and ammunition from
the neighboring union camps. Alien
Greeks and Austrian miners have APP
pealed to their consular representa-
tives for protection, and John McLen.
Ion, president of the local union dis
trict, wired the Red Cross in Denver
to be prepared TO render aid.
On the outcome Of the engagement
today may depend the fate of the
strike. Both sides face it as a battle
to the death with no thought of quar-
ter asked or received.
No train service through the war
zone is permitted. A command of
the troops is hemmed in on three
sides by the strikers lines, which ex-
tend back three miles. Through this
Gordon only the dead wagon is al
lowed to pass.
In Trinidad the situation is no less
acute. Men throng the streets about
the union headquarters with the pic
ture of their flaming tents still be-
fore their eyes and demand guns with
which to work vengeance upon the
militia, whom they hold responsible
for the destruction of their homes
and the death of their women and
children.
The Ludlow camp is a mass Of
charred debris, and buried beneath it
is a story of horror unparalleled in
the history of industrial warfare.
In the pits which have been dug
for their protection against the rifle
fire, the women and children died
like trapped rats when the flames
swept over them. One pit uncovered
disclosed the bodies Of 10 children
and two women. Military authorities
here admitted they did not know how
great the loss Of life may have been.

stance of no man attempting to una.
a single amendment, and under the
new constitution he has the right TO
start a petition for that purpose. The
only change which could be profitably
made in my judgment is that of pro-
viding a resident judge for each coun.
ty, and this thought is prompted by
conditions which developed since the
convention was held. Litigation has
been so much reduc d by the opera
tions of the worRmen's conversation
law that I believe the number OF
Judges can be vastly decreased"
