ANOTHER WILLIS "BEEF"

Columbus, Sept 22-It has been
discovered that the present general
assembly in its haste to pass the Huls-
witt law, repeating the provisions of
the Democratic measure which sepa-
rated the national ballot, did not re-
peal the provisions of the law which
required the printing OF all presi-
Dental electoral candidates in closed
order with no square space for the
"X" designation to the left Of the
names.
Under that provision, made for the
separate ballot system, the voter is
compelled to mark his presidential
ballot with an tx" in the circle be-
meath the party emblem and such a
ballot will be counted for all the
electors on the ticket thus marked
This arrangement, it is pointed out
will prevent many Independent voters
after they have voted for the presi
Dental electors of one party, from
scratching" on the state portion OF
the ballot, although they originally
intended to do so. On the other hand
many voters will cast their votes OF
the state ticket, but, seeing no spaces
left for the electoral candidates, viii
neglect to vote for president alto
gether.

anAys ''We are in the boat with such
1Drward looking men as Thomas A.
Edison and Henry Ford, and we do
not want to return to power the moss
backs of this country. The election OF
Hughes will hamstrlng the business
q the country, Woodrow Wilson has
done as much for emancipation of
business as Lincoln did to emancipate
the slaves"
These business men see in the cleo
tion OF Hughes the certain destruc
ton of the federal reserve act with
the passage of laws requiring compul
sorry militant enlistment. The fore
cast is that Hughes would have Elihu
Root as secretary of state, and Theo
dDre Roosevelt as secretary of war
which would deliver the country tc
the interests which would rule and
this would mean a destruction OF
peace and business prosperity.
