"Onc characteristic has come to us
with renewed force during the cam

G., Harding said today. The primary
for statewide nomination is a disap-
pointmcnt and failure, and it is not a
real reformation in the district and
county. 1t has tended to lower the
standard of nominations, it has ell
/ trcnChed the bosses more strongly than
ever in the localities where bosses are
given to ruling; il has given us an cX-
cess of political activity and added un-
bearably to the expense of standing Tor
Office.
What we ought to do in Ohio and
in all the country, is to go back to the
delegate convention, with the selection
of the precinct representatives made il
a primary under the safeguards of our
election officers. This would give us
a peoples rule in representative form
without any of the abuses which led to
the attempt to reforms which has proved
so disappointing.

FIGHT REOPENS TO GIVE
HOME RULE FOR CITY

A movement for home rule charter
tor Cincinnati is to be started by the
City Club in the next few weeks.
The club plans to ask other organza-
tons to cooperate with it in the naming
OF candidates for charter commission
ers.
The main argument will be the 30
cent gas rate ordinance. Though the
people of Cincinnati plan to veto the or
dinance by referendum, the public utili-
ties commission at Columbus will have
the final say as to what Cincinnati shall
pay for gas
If Cincinnati had home rule char
ter it could say what it will pay for gas
or electricity or street car rides without
decision from Columbus.
Prohting by the defeat of the first
charter, hackers Of the new charter
movement believe the new charter should
not provide for radical changes in the
form of the city's government
One OF the causes contributing to the
defeat of the first charter was the fact
it provided for small council 1t is
believed the next charter should allow
the machinery of government to remain
as 1t is and to lay greatest stress on
home rule.
Once they had home rule charter
the people could make whatever changes
they desired in the governmental ma.
chinery later on.

pany. 1t will not work a great injury
to these companies because what they

But the basic thought behind the whole
thing is that the workmen's compensation
law and the principles upon which it
was builded must be preserved at all
costs. 1t must be made bullet proof.
