Body Broken Former State Senator John F, Burke, Elyria/who some months ago addressed the college students, is out in a statement appealing to the public to break the hold of the utility inter­ ests on the people by the aid of the Ohio Public Utilities commission. Senator Burke urges that the pub­ lic be organized in gvoapcs to elect state senators to office that will make it possible to clean out the commission He also suggests that each candidate for governor declare himself on thin issue. In a statewide campaign not a man who was a member of the last Senates can be elected once the public is fully acquainted how things were control­ led by the loby interests for the util­ ity companies, Tho upper body of the last legislature is credited as being the rottenest in the history, of the state. Cincinnati politicians and lob­ by interests control the votes of more than fifty per cent of the members. Tho folks back homo arc paying for it in increased rates while utility stockholders are enjoying 100 per cent dividends. JABOfl VII STO!

Smith, manager of the Greene County Livestock Co.f stated that liis organization sells,openly on tho highest -market for the direct benefit of the farmer.
