Summit and Cuyahosa.
The nomination Of Judge U. L. Mar
win at the Republican Judicial conven-
ton In Cleveland Saturday gives much
satisfaction to his friends in this city.
None Of the numerous combinations
which the opposition had planned
made any inroads on the strength of
the Summit county candidate.
AS a result of the split in Medina
county two things are expected to de.
veIop. In Cuyahoga county the Nor
ton men are already looking about for
candidate to down Judge Phillips.
They seek revenge for his failure to
| deliver any votes to their man in the
judicial convention. Here in Summit
the friends OF Judge Marvin want to
hit back because the Medina dclega-
ton did not stand solidly for him. 1t
is reported that this county will have
two candidates for Common Pleas
Judge in the convention to be held at
Medina June 1. 1t Is the purpose OF
the Republicans in Summit to nomi-
nate both the candidates. Judge koh-
Ter will be one of the nominees. The
second candidate has not been selected.
He will be brought out within few
| days. s.
At one time during the convention in
Cleveland, when Medina could have
practically put an end to the voting,
by swinging into line for Judge Mar
win, three Of the delegates from that
county refused to- do anything for
Summit. 1t was then decided, that
should Judge Marvin fail to win the
nomination for Circuit Judge, to nomi-
nate him for Common Pleas Judge in
opposition to any man from Medina.
After the sixth ballot at the CIeve.
land convention, when recess Of 10
minutes was taken, an effort was made
TO start boom for Judge Nye of Lor-
ain.
This fell fat, as nine members of the
delegation from that county refused to
be parties to the plan. 1t was at this
point that the opposition to Judge Mar
vim ended. Cuyahoga county, after
the conference was ready to swing in
| line for SUBMITS candidate. As soon
as 1t was announced he had received IA
votes from the Cuyahoga delegation,
| Richard Palmer, the Lamson leader,
| jumped TO his feet and announced that
he wished to change his vote from
Judge Lamson to Judge Marvin. This
had the desired effect as Lorain i'm
medately asked for a few moments
time. Medina was busy about this
time getting into the band wagon. Lor-
ain announced Is votes for Judge Mar
vim and Medina Z. Before Summit was
reached Walter Meals, the leader of
the Winch-Norton forces moved that
the nomination be made unanimous.
The motion was carried with Il cheer
and Summit was happy. 1t was known
that deal could have been made at
almost any stage OF the proceedings
with the Cleveland delegates. Judge
Marvin's supporters, however, refused
TO enter into 1t, believing that they
could land the nomination ard come
out of the convention without being
tied up to any one faction.
Before the balloting commenced the
Cuyahoga county delegates werc claim
ing everything in sight. Winch assert,
ed that he would have 40 votes from
Clyahoga on the first ballot. Only b
were conceded to SUBMITS candidate.
Winch received 36is votes and Marvin
Z. This was a surprise to Judge Mar
WINS friends. They did not understand
where the two extra votes came from.
On each succeeding ballot Marvin kept
