Plans of reformers in Cincinnati reform league aims at three measures
The Municipal Reform League of Cincinnati plans to push reform during the fall campaign. It will wait for party nominations, then select reform-friendly candidates. The league seeks legislative pledges to three measures: abolish Sunday and midnight arrests for liquor offenses, curb juries in favor of judge discretion, and arrest offenders at the start of violations. It argues this will close saloons at midnight and reduce theater disturbances, hoping statewide cooperation for enactment.
