CLEVELAND FOR
CITY CAR LINES
Mayor Shows Public Ownership
Is Only Solution Of Trao-
ton Problem.

" Cleveland, O-Conviction that indt-
root municipal control Of Cleveland's
street railway lines IN only a partial
solution Of the city's street railway
problem has prompted Mayor Harry L.
Davis to come out uneQuivocally for
city-owned car lines.
The attitude Of the city's chief ex-
ecutive ia based on the belief the OK
perience here has shown that reten-
ton of any control by the officials Of
the street q company is in direct
conflict with the best interests of the
public.
The mayors theory is that heads Of
street a companies are solely con-
cerned in the interest of their stock
holders and in the establishment Of
conditions increasing the concerns
earning power. For this reason he
thinks their natural leanings are
against operation of roads at the low
est fare possible.
The mayors proposal for municipal
ownership was made in the light Of
refusal by the Cleveland Railway COM
pany to make concessions which he
had suggested to help in paying street
car men increased wages without put
ting the entire burden on the car rid
ers.
The city has protected the C1eve-
land Railway company and guaranteed
it's earnings, when other street rail-
way companies throughout the coun-
try have been compelled to forego
their dividends. Mayor Davis de-
clared: II do not believe 1t was at
all unreasonable to ask stockholders
of the company to accept voluntarily
ing the period Of the war;"

The base of his discovery lies In his

Bodies of 6 States Outside
South Dakota.
SUMMARY IS SHOWN
Many League Candidates Win Con.
tests Which Are Pure Gains for p
Organized Farmers.

st. Paul, Minn.-It Is now possible
to give a more Or less complete sum-
mary of the gains of the Nonpartisan
league in the recent general election
This was the first election in which
the League took part outside of North
Dakota, which it carried in 1916.
Everything the League has won out
side of North Dakota is pure gain.
Following are it's gains outside the
state of its birth:
MinnesDta-E1ection Of u senators
and rs house. members In rural dis
tricts, and an additional four senators
and 10 house members in Minneapolis
and St. Paul, with the cooperation of
organized labor. All these farmer and
labor legislators are pledged to the
full farmer-labor program. Election
of the clerk of the supreme court
Election of the farmer-labor candidate
for congressman in the Duluth dis
trict, Carss, who defeated Congress-
man Miller, an enemy of the League
and its program. The League lost
the Minnesota governorship.
Observation-Disclosures of Is members
of the legislature, a judge of the SUI
preme court and a state railroad COM
missioner, all with the Endorsement of
the League. No other state officers
were to be elected this year. The
League Endorsed for the United States
senate Miss Rankin, present member
of congress-, but she was defeated by
Senator Walsh.
Rehabilitation of 20 members Of
the legislature and the state treasur-
u. Senator Nugent, Democrat. and
Senator Borah, Republican, both hav-
ing the League Endorsement, were III
c~essful. Senator Nugent could not
have been reelected in the Idaho Re-
publican landslide had he not had the
League Endorsement. The Leagues
candidate for governor on the Demo
cratic ticket was defeated as were the
rest of the Democratic candidates for
congress and state office.
South Dakota-Electton Of TO- mem
bers Of the legislature. All the Demo
cratic candidates for state ONCE were
defeated by the League candidates,
who ran as Independents, but the Re-
publican candidate for governor and
other state Offices beat the League
candidates by a narrow margin.
Colorado and Reconsideration Of
q large group Of League candidates
for the legislature. The League did
not take part In the state and con-
gressional elections in these states,
but confined It's work to the election
Of legislators In q few counties where
the farmers were organized.
In none of the states above reported
did the League have q foothold prior
to the recent election. All the legis-
lators and other candidates elected
are therefore pure gain for the farm
ers' organization.
