Representative O. F. Seese, who
promised no less strenuously than
Mayor Doyle Hint he would work lor
the reform of Akron's government, is
also reported, on tho very best of au
thority, to bo opposing tho bill now
in tho .Senate, though it has already
passed tho House, He is quoted as
having said: "It is a bad bill and
should not have been Introduced."
The Democrat's Columbus corre
spondent saw Mr. Seese and asked lilm
about ho remarks credited to hlui,
Friday. He declined to express him
self but promised to give out a state
ment Monday. Mr. Seose is further
reported to havo asked Senator Harris
to hold up tho bill which' is now in tho
Senate.
There is no longer any doubt that
Senator IIuitIh was right when he
said: "The bill is unquestionably
dead." The Legislature will adjourn

least, Akron will be burdened with

It Is believed that Council will niuko

lieving that tho knowledge they have
gained thus fnr In handling affairs of
toe proposed new library building is
too vnliinhlo to bo dispensed 'with, nnd

JURY BOX
Still Lacks Requisite 100
Names.
Tho liliing of the Police jury box has
been somewhat delayed, iiecnuse of tho
failure of some of the Coiincllmen to
turn in the names required from their
various waids. Friday morning Coun
cilman Andrew Mnrtin still remained
to bo heard from, and It was announc
ed that all the nain.es would bo in
for Saturday morning.
The reason for the linsle is that tlio
tilnl of game wardens M. A. Ilassett
and John Greenert Is set for Satur
day morning, nnd t'hey will have a
Jury trial. A. J. Itowley, who will ue
fend them demands that the jury box
contain the full quota, 300 names, be
fore the jury is drawn for this ease.

Councilman Seidell
Makes Statement.
Wanted to Have the Council
Caucus Unanimous.
i
Council President Seidell today is
sued the following statement In rela
tion to his position In the City Clerk
fclilp contest:
To the Citizens of Akron:
fn face of tho Insinuations thnt have
been iiiude ngninst my character by
Icertnln gentlemen, as a rcbiilt of the
lusgrncetui cjiuiuct, on Jabt Monday
evening, of two Republican Council
mlii, I feel that it Is only just to my
self and my friends that I niiike a
ntibllo statement of the iitnml taken
f rim the first to. the Inst.
wsh to say, llrst of nil, thnt I mn
a Republican, and have been elected
.insult me more than to accuse me of
doing otherwise. My llrst efforts were
made in behalf of Mr. Wiese, certnln
citizens of my own .ward requesting
Mhat I do what I could for Mr.
Wiese. The result of tho llrst Itopub
Ilcnn caucus showed that somebody
had worked for Mr. Wiese. I should
have been very much pleased If this
had decided the matter. The divided
ballot bf this ttrijt enucus caused me
to see -the 'possible ultlmnte defeat of
the Republican members of the Council
in the Clerkship contest and I at once
decided to have the next' caucus unani
mous, if possible, for some candidate.
I hoped It would be for Mr. Wiese.
.On the next dny, Tuesday, I saw that
Mr. Snyder was gaining strength, and
by Thursday morning It looked quite
decidedly in l'avurof Mr. Snyder. I
realized the necessity of this second
caucus being solid. If the Democrats
who are numerically weaker, should
know that wo stood-ns one man they
would not put in tlio Held u candidate
of their own faith, but If they saw
a split in tIlc Republican vote they
would no doubt seize the opportunity
and endeavor to win the day. Mr.
Wioso hud been encouraged by tho
Democrats and he wus confident of
their support. I felt that they were
'.'ursfor an Democrats, and would nut

reasoned that if the vote of the second
caucus were solid it would have tnu
effect df keeping the Democrats from
putting u candidate in tlio Held, and
in else all the Republicans did not
abide by the decision cf the second
enucus. their vote combined with that
of the Democrats would probably elect
Mr. Wlcse. At all events we would no
sure of a Repiu. -lean victory. Ilellcvlng
this, I viont to the second caucus fully
determined to make the'vt.ie solid for
somebody. When we met l saw that
Mr. Snyder was the stronger of the
two and I voted for lilm for the rea
son thnt I hnve just mentioned. I
went away from the cancan feeling
that we were sure of one thing nt least,
and that .was, we would hnye n Re
publican Clerk. Abiding by the de
cision of this spcoud enucus, I went
to the Council meeting and voted for
Mr. Snyder. The fact that I wus In
tercsted in different candidates at dif
errnt times during the campaign only

"The snme us I havo on now," wns
Hojper's reply. Hooper wns wearing

pioves that I was fit nil time most in
trusted In the Republican party. He-,
i-fiuse I promise a mun that I will do
ulmt, I can for lilm docs not Imply that
I will obstlnnlely hold out ior him to
tho neglect of the Interest of the Re

untrue to the policy and principle of

no mun should expect that.

VETO
Power For Gov
ernor of Ohio.
The Constitution May
be Amended.
Such Questions Will be Quickly
Decided Hereafter.
(Special Correspondence.)
Columbus, April 2.j. Thursday was
devoted largely to the State constitu
tion by the House of Representatives
and when tuat liody liulshcd Its delib
erations arrangements had been made
to subiii.t several propositions to the
people of the State to amend the fund,
ninental document nnd provision hud
been made for the -manner lu which i
the piopo.-ltlons are to be submitted, i
The first amendment matter taken
up was tie (iodfrey resolution, which
was adopted In the Senate several
days ago. This amendment provides
for an amendment to the State con
stitution so that the Governor will
have the power of veto. The resolu
tion was adopted.
Tl'e other amendment provided for
is tlio Wirt resolution, which changes
the system of taxation. The powers
of the 3.0,'islaturc are limited more
in the matter of tnxntion in .Ohio, than
perhaps any other State iir the Union,
and It Is held by many that this is a
dlsndvnuln'ro to tlio 'commercial Inter
est of the St"te. The resolution which
wns adopted with less lUscussion than
tlio (iodfivy resolution, provides thut
the l.eglslutuie shall regulate tho mnt.
tor of taxat'on, but that 'taxes shall
be uniform on fie same clusses of sub
jects. Then the Houo passed the Long
worth' Senate bill, which prescribes the
manner cf submitting constltutlounl
amendments to the vote of the peo
ple. On matters of this kind It so
frequently occurs tiat many, people
do not pay enough nttentlau to J these
mutters to vote upon them nnd they
uro: lost becuuse u majority of the I
wlio'lc numbers of votes east nt (he
election Is necessary to adoption.
I'nder the provisions of tlio Long,
wort!, bill, which Is now a law, the
two parties, in Statu convention, will ;
adopt resolution fop or ngninst the
.amendment, which vlll become a pait
of the party ticket, so that every ninn
who votes a straight ticket will eith
er vote for or against tlip amendment,
ns the cai might be. Then if he docs
not vote a straight ticket he will hnvc
a chance to yoto for or ngninst the
a-'ieudraent at any rate.
There wus a lively time In the Sen

Harris bill, which was niiiondcd, torn
