Colonel Allen T. Brinsmade of Cleve-

handsome man with distinguished

II is likely that Congressman Morey
and Pugsley will go home to do little
campaigning in the now famous Scna

Congressional districts could not b,
changed and both Pugsley and Nor ey
especially Morey, are interested in re
tanning their present seats in Congress
for another term. As the next House
may be made Democratic by the los
: of several Congressman from Ohio, thu
I National Committee has been interested
| and it is expected that barrels of money
, may be dumped into the districts by
both sides. All Republican office
holders in Ohio are willing TO con

could not be legislated out, and Gov
ernor Campbell could have no ap
pointees confirmed. Congressman
Pugsley thinks it useless to make al
effort, as the district is over 1,20j
Democratic, with the Democrats wei
supplied with money. Senator cleo
Brice is willing to put up, and, besides
