In No Combine or Trust BEAUTIFUL WOMAN Hair Colors i LEGISLATION Of Various Kinds For Hamilton County Already Discussed By Democrats. Talk of Re-Establishing Board Plan of Government In Place of the Present Federal System, and of Changing Election Machinery. Because the Ohio Legislature is Democratic in both branches, local members of the party are somewhat consoled for the loss of their legislative candidates, with two exceptions, in Hamilton County.

Numerous measures will be formulated intended to put the Republican organization at a disadvantage and shear it of some of its power. It is already claimed that there will be a 'Lexow investigating committee, which will be favored by Governor Harmon. How the -state Democrats will regard such a probe is problematical, but the Democrats think that they would be more eager to delve into Hamilton County affairs, on account of being residents of other counties without any of the restrictions and influences which might surround them if their own localities were involved. Practical unanimity exists among the leaders of Dem- ocracy that there should be a change in the election laws. Some Reforms Proposed.

One reform is to make the witnesses and challengers officers of the elections, with the right to protest against the counting of a disputed ballot. Those who favor this amendment to the laws would also provide that such disputed ballot or ballots must be held out for a decision from the Board of Elections or other proper authority. A suggestion that the entire election machinery of the cities be changed will meet with tremendous opposition. It is said that under the present arrangement no Democrat has a chance to be elected Clerk of the Board of Elections in any of the big cities, and the Democrats may decide to remedy this. After the smoke of battle has entirely cleared away the leading Democrats of the city and county will probably get together and formulate some plan of action.

A considerable element want to abolish the present federal form of city government and get rid of the Public Service and Public Safety Directors, particularly in Cincinnati. During the last the Democrats got together the best organization they have ever had here, and no radical or unconsidered course will be pursued. Depends on Harmon. A great deal will depend upon the attitude of Governor Harmon, and the Democrats are likely to be largely governed by his advice in the formulation of municipal bills. It is understood, however, that there will be unanimous insistence, by the leading Democrats upon an investigation of Hamilton County affaire.

There will, however, be a great variety of opinions in regard to the election-law amendments and the revision of the code. Both the Democratic Representatives elect, E. K. Bruce and William G. Beatty, are members of the conservative wing of the party, and they will wield great influence at Columbus in a Democratic Legislature as the only members of that party from the second largest county in the state.

Of course, the Republican delegation may be expected to oppose any bills that propose to interfere with the present condition of affairs in this city. An interesting situation is likely to arise. John W. Peck, Chairman of the Campaign Committee, enjoys the respect and confidence of the rank and file of his party, and his word in anything that may be done this winter will have tremendous weight. It was rumored last night that Dr.

Thomas P. Hart, Democratic candidate for Congress in the First District, will contest the election of Mr. Longworth. His object in doing this, it is said, is to have a Congressional Committee appointed to come to this city and make an investigation of affairs. KENTUCKY FEUDIST Slays Breathitt County Jailer and Flees To Mountains.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. Jackson, November Wesley Turner, of Breathitt County, was shot and instantly killed by "Bad Jake" Noble, a noted feudist, on the street near the jail building late last night.

Wesley Turner is the fourth man Noble is now known to have killed. Circuit Judge D. B.

Redwine this morning called a special grand jury. Turner's friends and relatives have offered a reward for the arrest of Noble. SURELY A CHUNKI McFerran Must Pay His Former Wife $20,000 Alimony. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. the Frankfort, income November of of C.

It is claimed that Mrs. Thoms paid the loan during her lifetime, and that on several occasions demanded from Todd the certificates of stock and the promissory note, but that he failed to comply and always made various excuses for not delivering them when requested, but that he promised to hand them over at a future time.
