CAN CONVENTION.

The national Chairman WIN IL Tn
dorsed for United states senator
and the Present state Onicers RE-
lominated The Campaign
Chairmanship gig.t
the Only Contest

TOLEDO, Ohio June %. The Ohio
Republica state convention assem-
bled here yesterday and will continue
to-day. The occasion has been one of
bitter factional fighting for two days.
There is no opposition to the indorse-
ment Of Senator NJ. A. Hanna for
both the long and the short terms as
Senator and there is no opposition TO
the denomination OF Governor Bush
ness and other state officers who have
! had only one term. The contest has
been on the state campaign chairman
ship. senator Hanna wanted aajol
Charles T. W Dick, secretary Of
the national committee, for this
place. Governor Bushnell and other
state officers wanted Chairman Charles
l.. kurtz, who has managed the past
two campaigns, retained in that place.
Senator Foraker was not here, but it
is known that he supported Governor
| Bushnell and Chairman Kurtz as
strongly as possible by wire. 1t has
been the custom for the head OF the
state ticket in Ohio to name the chair
man of the state executive committee,
but Senator Hanna had the conven-
tion here in hand and he will not per
feet the party organization according
to precedent
The contending factions carried
their claims into the meetings OF the
delegates by congressional districts
yesterday afternoon, and Mr. Hanna
won by more that two TO one. He con.
trolled the district meetings ana the
convention more firmly than the St
Louis convention last year. Major Dick
claims the committeeman from fifteen
of the twenty-one congressional dis
| tricts, with two districts contested and
| four districts conceded to Kurtz The
Kurtz men concede their defeat, but
claim eight ont OF the tweuty-one
committeeman.
Senator Hanna and Governor Bush
nell had conferences again last night
While the governor regrets the defeat
OF Chairman Kurtz, he will not decline
denomination to-day Meantime, the
state central committee will not select
the campaign chairman and the mem
bers Of the state executive committee
now, but the central committee will
meet at an early date in Columbus for
this purpose. 1t is expected that Sena-
tor Hanna and Governor Bushnell will
get together soon for cooperation in
the campaign. II is understood now
that Major Dick will be made chair
man Of the executive committee, and
that Governor Bushnell and other
state candidates will name the other
members Of the state executive com
mittee.

II took it for granted that this was a
celebration of the patriotism of the Pill
grim mothers. but when your president
asserts that we women have no part in
our national flag and live as strangers in

flag is my own and every other womans
in the United States of America. The
blood of my ancestors made red every
stripe in it, and the souls of the Pilgrim
mothers were not more white than those
other stripes.

that ever floated over any country in

The next day Dubois accompanied the

As he was shedding tears over Colauitt's

cisively. but it was too late. The story
flew to Idaho. The papers of that state
gave themselves up to scornful and in
vidious comment. They said 1t would be
more. in his line if Dubois passed up the
minuet and flung himself loose in q la
rat polka or Posatello reel. They also
caustically observed that in view of the
general hard times then starving the
west TO death, it was pleasant to hear
of their senator lightly dancing min
