J. Jewett has been prominently mentioned
among the candidates for the Presidential
nomination at Cincinnati in June. What
ever the result of the Democratic National
Convention in June, the name of Mr.,
Jewett will be prominently and properly

is their wish that he shall receive the vote
of Ohio at Chicago.
