He has represented Geauga Mr. Fvrds

lowed the lead Of Mr.. Ford in breaking
up the legislature in 1912, by vile ab

always maintained a good character, and
we know him to be the firm devoted and

Whiggery snow in the position of sup

the letter of their whig candidate for
Governor, giving his reason for withhold

for President. How are the mighty fsl
