Thomson Defeats Mort Plan in Lorain Talks

He warned the legislature lacks money to fund two years of government, poor relief, and school aid, and supported a broad sales tax. Joseph Thomas warned against limiting township powers as bills on hunting licenses and city-tower separation move through. Charles Williams was elected president of the county association and John Davidson named vice president.
