and altsrnates ct large are close personal
as well as political friends Of the Presi-

from Washington. with the addition of
the antitrust resolution and the ON.
mission Of the Porto Rioan.
The so.oalled ''Hanns slate" on dele
gates and altsrnatss at large, and the
state ticket, went through without any
breaks. There was, however. opposition
to Food COMMITS Iioner Blackburn be-
cause he was running for third tern
and for other local reasons, and to Gen.
Grosvenor for delegate from the friends
of Ex-Governor Bushnell, The efforts of
the Bushnell faction to substitute some
one In place OF Grosvsnor, made an M.
usually interesting scsne. 1t reached Its
climax when J. Frank Mcdrsw. ex-
representative end son-in-law Of former
Governor Bushnell, was speaking on
his amendment to strike out Grosvenor
and insert Hanna. McGrew euiogized
Hams, whom hs-has heretofore opposed
and said the Democrats would make
capitsI ont of the Republicans Of the
Presidents state II Hanna was not made
one Of 'The Zig Four"
When Senator Hanna was finally called
to the mont Of the platform, the speech OF
ex- Representative MoGrsw caused the
Senator to proclaim emphatically; What
do I care what the Democrats say about

delivered q philippic against what he
termed "expediencies."
When Senator Hanna said he would
not serve as dslegats, there was . mo-
ton to strike out Grosvenor and insert
Foster who, In rsosnt sresohss. has made
several thrusts at Hanna. Foster de-
clined, saying he 'would not want to
break the excellent slate that had been
brought TO Ohio from Washington.
The resolution making Foraker, Nash,
Grosvsnor and Dick the delegates at
large, was offered by ex-senator Massie of
Grosvenor- congressional district, and
the Bushnell men charged that 1t was the
Grosyenor plan to avoid balloting. This
resolution was adopted.
