Under the caption Something

publishes the announcement of Ten
Day Community Development Insti-
tute to be held November 10th to
2lst- The purpose of this institute is
evidently to educate the people of the
village and the surrounding county m
community building and cooperation
and to dezelope the idea of commun-
ity interests. We take it that the
business men of Delta are back OF
this movement and they are certainly
doing fine thing and the right thing.
This movement should have the hear
ty support of every man, woman and
child living in the territory contiguous
to Delta or who find Delta their log
ical trading center. We can hardly
endorse the statement that this is
Something new, for we know that
the same idea has been worked out
with great success In other sections
of the country, but we are ready to
affirm that it is most decidedly Asome-
thing good" Rally to your home
town, realize that what affects for
good or i'll the people, who live on the
farms effects for good or i'll those who
fise in the village and vice versa. Co
operation is the slogan of progress
and success. When town and eoun-
TRY work together, each taking . real
Interest in and lending q helping
hand to the other, then there is prso-
perity ana progress for all.

NOVEMBER BALLOT
The Sprague Act Referendum-Recen
History of The Gerrymander in
Ohio-Reason for Redistricting The
State The Fifth Congressional
District.

The voters of this county will have
at least four ballots to mark when
they go to the polls November e
There will be ballot containing the
names of the candidates for township
or municipal offices; another contain
ing the names of the candidates for
members of school boards; another
containing the proposed amendments
to the state constitution; and another
containing the referendum on two
laws passed by the last session of the
legislature.
The proposal to amend the state
constitution in four particulars, makes
the election in November of more
than ordinary importance-yes of
more Importance than election of
local officers and that should be a
duty not neglected.
By the adoption of amendments
proposed by the state constitutional
convention in 1912, among many
other things, the electors of Ohio
were given authority to pass upon
laws enacted by the legislature for
their approval or rejection through
the referendum. On November 2 the
electors Of Ohio will pass upon two
measures enacted by the last legis-
lature. The referendum on both of
these acts were brought about by poll
ticians. These two acts will be upon
separate ballot and will be arrang
ed in the following order:

OPEN LETTER.
Atlas Printing Co.
Delta, Ohio,

Atlas Printing Co.
Delta, Ohio,
Gentlemen:-
Thanks for the write up on our
County Fair. You certainly were
aware that those races were called
off on account of bad track, on ac-
count of heavy rains. Our track was
unsafe, even dangerous, racing was
simply out Of the question. You also
were aware that we had the finest
and largest field of harness horses on
our ground, a field of horses, fine
ones, credit to any Speed Committee,
eighty head of race horses. Compare
this field to the Adrian field of thirty
eight head, or Napoleon of fifty
eight head, or compare our field with
any other County Fair in northwest
ern Ohio, and our races on Thursday
were the finest in northwestern Ohio.
For authority I will cite you Mr..
Fowler of Detroit, Mr.. Haoy of De-
troit, Mr.. Dunlavey of Miss. These
men are well known race men, known
the racing world over, they stated to
the writer that those races were as
fine as they had seen this season. In
the 2:15 trot and the Free For All
Pace every heat was race. Why
you should wish to misinform the
public seems strange to me, unless
you wished to seize upon the misfor.
tune of the society to register knock
In your next issue you had better
state to the public the kind of in
terest that you have always taken il
your county fair, and what if any
thing that you have ever done tt
make your county fair a success, th'
writer thinks that it won't take mucl
space. Enclosed find check, pleas
stop our paper.
Respectfully,
| S. W. SIPE.

THE LOST TWIN.
(Frederic Rothfuss)

The Mothers grief is ocean deep;
Thru sorrows fount' its flood of tears
Now rise until they seem to leap
Their closure, and-burning hot
hot sears
The cheek, down which they swiftly
flow,
For such are women who sorrow
know.
The Fathers fierce yet manly sorrow
Gnaws at heated, troubled heart;
Nor relief would deign to borrow
In fitful slumber's merciful mart.
For such is grief of stalwart men
Who turn. life's duties to meet again.
| But I come to tell of another
Whose face bespeaks the cutting pain.
He and the lost were more than
brother
They voyaged together en- life's mys-
tic main,
And sucked the breast Of common
| mother
And nourished closer ties than could
| another.
These ties are tense as bended steel
Forget not his day is shrouded il
black night
His love as divine as mankind car
feel,
Forget not the battle this young sol
! der must fight
All! long shall be the day of his sor
/ row,
He hath need for all strength you'll
can borrow.
H.S.F
Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1915-10-15

The first one on the referendum bal |
lot is the Sprague Act which divides
the state into twenty-five districts |
from which congressman are elected.
Up to 1918 the boundaries of the
| congressional districts had not been
changed for nearly fifteen years. Dur
ing Gov. Harmon's administration the
Democratic politicians tried to induce
stricting bill, but he not only refused
would oppose it. It was two years
ago, in Gov. Cox's administration that
the congressional district of this
then to do the things that Mr.. Harmon
had opposed.
There were three reasons that
led to the enactment of the redis-
tricting law in 1913. The first one
was that certain ambitious Democrats
in the state wanted to go to congress,
which they could not do unless the
districts were changed. The second
one was that the Democrats wanted
a larger representation in Congress
than they had from Ohio. And the
third one was to eliminate certain con-
gressmen who had not agreed with
Gov. Cox so the Gerrymander was
passed. Under this new law there
were fourteen Democratic districts;
six Republican and two doubtful ac-
cording to the normal Democrats vote
but the unpopularity of the Cox adj
ministration upset these figures in
the election last fall and gave the Re-
publican thirteen congressman and
the Democrats nine, the Republicans
carrying the strongly Democratic
fourth district with it's 1000 majority
and the fifth with it's 1000 majority.
The New Bill.
1t was to give the Republicans of
this state a representation in Con-
gress to which they were entitled that
new bill had to be enacted and
| which the Republican legislature pass
ed Under this new bill, under normal
conditions ten of the districts are re-
liably Republican, seven are reliably
Democratic and five are doubtful.
This restores the ratio to what it
was before the Cox regime disturbed
it and when Gov. Harmon said it was
good eonugh for him. The State
Democratic organization oppose this
new bill because it reduces the Demo
cratic congressional districts of the
state from IA, a number not warrant
ed by the Democratic vote in Ohio, to
liz, and increased the Republican dis
tricts from six to ten, and making five
| doubtful districts instead of two, sc
| for political reasons alone they seek
to defeat the Sprague Act by call
ing a referendum election upon it
| 1t is now for the voters of Ohio to say
whether they want the Sprague Ac
to stand or the act passed in the Coz
administration.
The Fifth District.
| The fifth congressional district un
der the Sprague Act is composed o.
