and members receive only $40 per day

are in session about two days a week
and are selected from the four corn

projects.

Charging without reservation that
what Is transpiring in the legislature
today Is not the result of the combined
individual view of the majority party,
nor the ruling policy itself an affair
of the legislative leaders, Governor
James NJ. Cox sounded a note of warn
ing that will reach to the furthermost
parts of Ohio when he addressed the
Democratic members of the legisla-
ture No message to all the people of
the state in recent years has had so
great import as this expose of the ele-
ments that are controlling the legis-
lature at this important crisis in
Ohio's affairs.
1.-THE naked truth" declared the gov
ernor, "is that the Legislature is and
for months has been, controlled and
directed by two or three men living
I'm the hotels Of Columbus, who have
no connection whatsoever with the
lawmaking body, by virtue of any au-
thority given by the people"
The governor said that the Repub-
licnn leaders in the legislature get
their orders from these gentlemen
at the hotels" and that time after
time so soon as they are received the
legislature recesses in order that n
party caucus can be held to bind mem
bers of the general assembly under
force of partisan conference to the car
rying out of the order in question"
He asserted that, "never in the history
of the state have Legislative sessions
of the assembly been so broken into
with such frequency and cffrontery."

deemed 1t necessary to direct the at

the situation before them.
