GOVERNORS ITINERARY.
Hon. Walter Weaver, chairman Of the
Republican speakers bureau, says
Governor Nash's speaking itinerary for
this campaign will not include counties
ne visited last fall while canvassing
In his own behalf.
The governor will be exceedingly busy
from now until the close of the cam
paign as he is listed to deliver addresses
in many towns and cities. 1t is not
probable he will be assigned to any
meetings in the Eighteenth congress
sional district by reason of his having
spoken in Columbiana county a year
ago and because of his attendance nt
the Youngstown opening.
EXAMINING APPLICANTS.
Elmer E. Miller, of Canton, who was
here attending a meeting Of the board
Of examiners of the stationary en-
gineers, left yesterday for Mt. Vernon,
where he will examine applicants. From
there he will proceed in the direction OF
Canton in which city he almost entirely
has his work completed. Every en-
gineer in Canton with one or two possi-
BILE exceptions, Is now holding a license
under the new law.
Next week Mr.. Miller will go to
Youngstown to close up the work there.
He was In the city short time ago,
but as many Of the big plants were
idle he could not proceed advantage
ously, SO he concluded to depart and
return at a more opportune time.
READ 1T IN THE DEMOCRAT.
The meeting of the district deputies
In Columbus was an important one, and
but for an item in the News Democrat
Mr. Miller would not have been in at
tendance at 1t.
IN sending out notices of the meeting
to the deputies Chief G.. M. Collier
overlooked Mr.. Miller; but the latter
read in this paper that he was expect
ed in Columbus, needed the suggestion
and afterward was glad. He has Issued
over 800 certificates.

penitentiary Tuesday at the expiration
Of their sentences. John Dugan, who

among those released. Both men re-
ceived allowances of good time which
reduced their sentences.
