CHANGED THEIR MINDS

With all their buster as 20 what
they intended to do to the decentral-
ling measures passed by the Repub-
lican legislature. the Ohio Democratic
leaders have finally concluded to let
them alone. and have dropped their
original intention Of invoking the ref
erendum. This was a very wise con-
clusion on their part. for there never
was a doubt but what the people would
have sustained the Willis administra-
ton on these measures. which were
written into the Ohio statutes i'm full
fillment of pledges made in the cam
paign OF 1914.
The Democrats are determined on
one thing, however. and that is the
Submission OF the redistricting of the
Congressional districts to a vote by
the referendum. This is quite a mat
ter apart from the other measures. as
II has bearing on national politics
end the complexion OF the Congress to
be elected in 1916. II is possible that
some of the switches and changes
inaue by the redistricting measure
may not be any more pleasing than
those made by the Cox legislature II
there Is any considerable discomfort
the Democrats may stand a show Of
carrying their point II will all depend
on how well the Republicans OF the
counties in the referendum districts
are satisfied The prospect OF in
creasing the Republican membership
OF the Ohio delegation in the next Con-
gTcss will be a strong incentive to let
the matter stand as It has been ar.
ranged.
