To 'ThWart the
Selfish Ends of:
Astute Politi-
clans Vote Yes
On the Sprague
Districting Bill.

One of the most important proposi-
tions to be passed upon by the voters
this fall is the Sprague districting
bill
This measure reaches the voters
through a referendum invoked by pro-
fessional politicians.
The last general assembly passed
the Sprague bill, which fixes along de-
cent lines the congressional districts
ir Ohio
When the Democrats were in power
they enacted district ripper law that
was unfair to the people of Ohio. This
ripper" built up party geographical
lines with the idea of giving the DEM
ocratic party congressman to which it
was not entitled.
1t is easy for u legislature to draw
imaginary lines around a bunch OF
counties and call it congressional
district. And it is easy for the same
legislature to draw this imaginary
line around lot OF counties that will
be sure to elect Democratic legisla-
ture and call it congressional dis
trict.
That is exactly what the Demo
cratic Legislature did-bunched the
counties of Ohio into districts that
guarantee il advance the election of
Democratic congressman.
The congressional districts in Ohio
were constructed so unfairly that it
was necessary for the last general as
sembly to redistrict the state. Ac-
cordingly the Sprague law was
passed. That law establishes the dis
tricts practically as they were before
the cunning politicians saw to it that
the congressional districts should be
constructed on party lines. The
Sprague law districts are not iden.
tical with the old districts because
Ohio now has % districts instead
of 81.
The Sprague act, of course, sadly
cripples the power of a number Of
leading Ohio politicians of practical
turn of mind. They melted the refer
endum. That is why the bill will be
passed upon by the voters at the Nov.
2 election.
To sustain the law-to knock out
the aspirations of designing politi-
clans every voter should put his 'X''
in the first space on the special refer
| endum ballot.
The referendums will be on sep,
| arate ballot and the right vote on the
Snrague bill is in the top space. Here
is a sample of the referendum ballot:

A Right Kind of Tariff viii
Cut Out the "War Tax"
Nuisance, Insure Uncle
Sam a Fair Income and
Bring Lasting Prosperity.

A Republican tariff policy not only
secures revenue enough to meet the
demands of big government, but 1t
ensures prosperity for workingman,
farmer and business man. The present
Democratic administration Is COM
PEELED to collect war taxes" at time
when Uncle Sam is not at war.
Endorsement Of the Sprague law Is
a vote for the Republican protective
tariff policy and a vote against "war
taxes" which are being collected by
the Wilson administration. Even
though the stamp taxes are effec-
tive, the present national administra-
tion is now wrestling with another
$25,000,000 annual deficit in revenues.
The protective tariff policy is favor
ed by large majority of the people
Of the county. This is pointed out in
an editorial from the Marion Star:
Majority Favors Protection.
Many times it has been pointed out
that in 1912 the Republican and Pro-
gressive platforms declared in favor
of the protective principle and that the
candidates of those two parties polled
a total of 7,607,735 votes. while the
Democratic candidate polled only
6,290,S1S. 1t is notorious that the DEM
ocratic candidate received hundreds
of thousands of votes of staunch Re-
publicans whose course was deter
mined by the feeling reused by strife
within the party.
But there are some other figures,
not so well known, that throw light
on the real strength of protection sen.
timent. Woodrow Wilson had ma
jority vote in only fourteen states.
with a total of 152 electoral votes.
The combined Republican and Pro-
gressive votes constituted a majority
in thirty-four states whose electoral
vote aggregated 379. If, therefore, the
enactment of o tariff law had been
determined by the actual vote as cast,
the Republican tariff principle would
have been maintained by an electoral
vote of two and one-half to one.
The fact was pointed out by Sena-
tor Warren of Wyoming during the
tariff debate in 1918. Senator Warren
also presented figures showing that
the twelve southern states and Ari-
zono and Oklahoma, which gave a
majority for the Democratic party
have a total population of 26,543S2S,
while the thirty-four northern and
western states, which gave a majority
for the two protection tariff parties,
have total population of 65,097, 1863.
The people of this country were in
favor of protection in 1912, and, after
two years experience with tariff
for revenue only, they are more
strongly in favor of protection, not
withstanding the fact that the dire re-
suits of Democratic tariff policies were
prevented by the outbreak of the Eu
ropean war.

UPHOLD THE SPRAGUE LAW
Cincinnati Jurist Shows Necessity of
Supporting the DistrlctIng Law.

Supporting the DstrlctIng Law.
In an interview in the Cincinnati
Times Star, Judge D. D. Woodmansee
Of Cincinnati discusses the Sprague
districting act as follows:
every voter In the state will have
an opportunity to vote for or against
the Sprague redistricting bill that was
passed by the last general assembly.
No Republican should be led astray.
In the preparation of this bill an ef-
fort was made to divide up the state
into twenty-five districts on fair
basis. Members Of the legislature
knew that the law could be put aside
by the people at the polls if 1t were
not satisfactory, and they would ne.
cesssarily want their work such as
would meet the approval Of a fair
minded electorate. The districts, as
they stood at the last election, were
legislature, and that ought to- be
enough to convince every Republican
that our party was justified in chang
ing it. The Republican members Of
the legislature vouch for the new law.
Republican congressman and the
members of the Republican state COM
mittee approve it, and it would seem
that the judgment Of these men ought
to be more attractive to Republicans
generally than any recommendation
that might be made by a Democratic
politician. The sole issue in the ref
erendum that is before the voters of
Ohio is whether or not they will ap-
prove the Democratic law or the Re-
publican law. Democratic leaders
want us to believe that they always
treat Republicans fairly, even though
they have the power to do otherwise.
Can they point to any time when they
did, or to any place where they do?
81 want, If can, to impress word
of warning upon Republicans. If we
fail this year to defeat the Democratic
referendum on the redistricting law,
the time will never come in our state
that we can hope to do otherwise than
simply submit to a Democratic divi-
sion Of the state on congressional rep
resentation. If the new act stands
the present attack, we can be assured
that 1t will not be changed in dec
ade unless 1t is changed by Republi-
cans. This fight is extremely import
ant and its results may fix the control
Of the lower house Of congress for
years to come"
