UNFAIR
Tactics of Republican POIiti-
clans in Geymander
OF State TO Secure Undue Repre-
sentatIOn Iu Congress Should
BE RebuLed at Polls.

Offering a statement that Fair
ness, deceney In politics, and loyalty
to the president in this hour of the
nations peril. demand that the spra-
que act should be rejected" the De-
mocratic state central and executive
committees and hosts of leading De-
moerats met Monday in Columbus to
open a campaign against the obnox-
ious gerrymander. The denial was
offered that the referendum was par
tisan unless to support the president
and deal fairly with him in the ap-
portionment of congressman was also
partisan. Arrangements were made
to go at once into the campaign for
solicitation of mo" votes. The COM
mittee further issued a statement in
viting attention to the McDermott re-
ferendum as follows:
"The people of Ohio will this
fall be called upon to approve or
reject the McDermott liquor Ii
cense act passed by the last gen
eral assembly A mo" vote will
reject the McDermott act and
continue to enforce the efficient
Greenlund act.
Though the referendum on
the McDermott act was brought
without the action of the Demo-
cratic committees, these commit
tees feel it proper to invite the
attention. of all voters, regard
less of party, to the situation.
Let the voters consider the mer-
its of the present Greenlund law
which centralizes the authority
to enforce all license and regu-
latory laws without fear or favor
of local influence, and which has
demonstrated itself efficient in
every test Let them consider
the McDermott act, which decen-
tralizes all the law enforcement
authority. eliminates central re-
spOnsibility, makes the conduct
of the saloon conform to local
prejudice, and injects the sa-
loon question into every county
election.
"By decision of the amend
ment to the constitution of Ohio
in 1912 license of saloons in
some form was made mandatory.
The Greenlund law was the re-
suit. 1t is now to be either the
Greenlund law or the McDer-
mott law; the former makes
somebody responsible for law
enforcement, while the latter
holds nobody responsible and
makes for local laxity or local
oppresson.
"The Democratic party is not
concerned in the authorship of
the McDermott referendum, but
that referendum having been
brought, its committees urge up
on the people the careful con-
sideration of the present law
passed by the Democratic gen
eral assembly of 1913 in COM
pliance with constitutional de-
mand The law enforcement
and inflexible, automatic action
of the Greenlund law is imposs-
BILE under the McDermott act"

During the past week Cincinnati
has reached the crown and summit
of all disgraces. Crime and licent-
iousness have run wild all along
Court street and vicinity. Pickpock-
cts, thieves, cut-throats and prosti-
tutes have orged and orgied
1t has been a Carnival of Crime
and Nastiness.
Decent Cincinnatians hang their
heads in shame.
Robbers have ruled the Roost and
the stencil of the Court Street Carni-
val will remain in the nostrils of old
Cincinnatus for months to come.
1t went along for two or three days
and nights. Then the affair became
so notorious, and was so generally
condemned that the city administra-
tioin finally felt compelled to inter
fere.
Never during the palmy days of
the George B. Cox gang, when every
thing went, did Cincinnati witness
anything that, in crime, robbery,
prostitution and disgraceful orgies,
approached the reign of Righteousness
of the past week, given by the Pitt
ner-Mack- -Uricho Welfare Associa-
ton.
They even diverted the street cars
from Court Street.
