Hotel The orlginators George f. GiIiand
who f. Senator Brices political lieutenant In ONO
and John Z. Martin. member OF the state Board
OF Public Works in the same State. Mr.. Martin Is
a n enthusiastic Hrice man. Mr. Brice Is busy

nation for Governor this fall IL Is generally al
mitted in Ohio that whoever consents to run on
the Democratic IL Ike; for Governor is simply throw

Of success can be entertained. Mr. Sorg has been
known as liberal man In politics, put ne wants
his reward and the question arises, II ne uoes
sacrifice himself the ticket this fall' what MS re-
ward Will be- Il Is said that ne wants 10 succeed

generally known that he Is after the Democratic
nomination on the National ticket and that he is
strauing every nerve 10 try to carry the ONO
delegation in the Democratic National convention
This led Mr.. Martin to say:

told him the best thing that he could do would be to
nlace the Senatorship IN the hands Of some strong
man. who would be popular and be hep 10 him.
and that then he would have excellent chance
