ELECTION LAWS A bill baa been presented in, the Ohio Senate by Mooney of Cleveland that will do •much to improve our election laws. The present laws have in force for- more than twenty- live years and have proved very cost­ ly to the taxpayers since the primary system was adopted. * I t is now proposed to adopt the Massachusetts election law which provides tha t the candidates foi- the ■various offices be placed under one heading and that all groups be ro­ tated on the ticket. Eor instance all candidates of all political parties for governor would be placed under one heading, a des­ ignation as to what political party they belong to. There would be no more party emblems, 1. • The election boards would be re­ duced from four to, two. -members. Ail primaries would be held the sec­ ond week inSeptember. Nothing could, prevent other names being on the ballot by the payment of a fee or. by- petition. However no name tha t was defeated a t a primary could, geta place on the regular ticket. ■ f WILSON APPOINTEE HERE FOR A VISIT Council met in regular session Mon­ day evening, ail members being pres* ent except J.
