Springfield. o.. Aug. 2l.-With the enc

politics are beginning the fall campaign
under conditions which assure unusua

The contest between the two leading par
ties is generally recognized as the mos

state committee finally met in Columbus
and chose George K. Nash OF Columbus

Judge Nash is a lawyer Of prom!nenos
and a politician of recognized ability. III
his law business he is the partner Of
Congressman John j. LentZ Of Columbus
who was an unsuccessful aspirant for
the Democratic nomination for governor
this year. Two years ago Mr.. Nash was
a candidate for the nomination for the
governorship at GAINESVILLE. He is gen.
orally regarded as an adherent of the
McKinley-Hanna policy, though he has
been on uniformly good terms with Gov
e,nor Bushnell.
II seems 10 be the general impression
that under Nash's management the en-
ergies Of the Republican campaign Will
be concentrated on the legisla tive candi-
dates. Senator Hanna recognizes the
foct that it will require close and persist
ent work TO bring about his own re-elec-
ZION. The funds which Will be used in
the campaign by the Republicans are
largely from the unexpended balance in
the hands Of the national committee at
the end of the presidential campaign.
This money was collected through the
personal efforts OF Senator Hanna and
his lieutenants, and they feel tina, its use

amount of benefit TO the interests of the

The peculiar course pursued by Governor
Bushnell has had the effect of placing
MIN 10 a greater or less degree in antag-
pnism to the leaders of both the McKin-
ley and the Foraker factions. The Fora
ker people do not seem inclined 10 do

reelection, while the Hanna forces are
evidently determined to ignore Bushnell
and 10 devote their activities exclusively
to the campaign of their leader.
Under the circumstances it becomes
necessary for Governor Bushnell to or
ganize his own campaign. He has been
indisposed for several weeks and conse-
ruently has taken no active steps in this
direction. Ii is understood, however.
