his death and for that reason It In his
painful duty to ask the state central
committee TO select some other gentle
man to carry the standard In the state.
Then will be the opportunity to name
for n governor q man who has not
only made q record for the Anti
Saloon people, but who is in a measure
liked by them. He must also be man
who is not an enemy Of the liquor peo-
pie. Gen. Chas. Dick SENS to At the
case and he will probably be it, The
liquor people will be sure to support
the whole ticket, for they will have
Nippert, the presiding officer of the
Senate, to head OF vicious legislation"
The only point in doubt is the date
of the announcement by Nash that he
cannot accept reelection. Hanna has
absolute control of the machinery Of
the party now. There is not man on
the state central committee who is
not counted as Hanna man. The
junior Senator did not antagonize the
antis In Cuyahogo by refusing to give
them even one man on the central COM
mittee, for the fun Of the thing He
wanted an absolutely solid committee
so as to remove all doubt as to who
would be selected as substitute for
Nash, and he didn't make any mis-
takes.
The central committee organized last
evening by reelecting Peter Durr of
Cincinnati chairman, and Mark Slater
of Dayton secretary. Durr was au.
thorized to name committee Of three,
himself to be one member, to see the
candidates and learn their views and
then call meeting to appoint a cam
paign committee.
Hanna is the convention. His orders
have been carried out to the slightest
detail. IL Judge Crew fails to get the
supreme court judgeship and A. b
Critchfield fails to land the clerkshiI
IL will be because Hanna has not or
dered their nomination. He has claim

any hand in these contests and there
may be something in it. The only
committee which Hanna did not die
tate was that on credentials. He die
not bother with it because he appar
emily regarded it as small matter.
When the committee on rules me-
with Asa w. Jones as chairman, the
secretary pulled out typewriter SCI
of rules, which Gen. Dick had dictated
to a stenographer and they were
promptly adopted. They provide fol
nominations in this order. Governor
lieutenant governor, supreme cour
judge, attorney general, clerk Of the
supreme court, treasurer and member
of board of public works. The anti
Critchfield people, who had planned
to get minority report, placing thu
nomination of clerk ahead of tina,
Of Judge. did not even get &
man on the committee. With the com
mittee on organization it was the same
way. Hanna announced today that h,
would be the permanent chairman o
the convention. And he will be.
Harry Daugherty's delegation from
Fayette county is out of the game. Th,
committee on credentials last nigh
seated the Marchant people after hear
ing both sides. John Godenbogen ant
Walter Meals split their votes,s Gold,
going with Marchant and Meals witt
Daugherty That was the only vot
Daugherty got. There Will be no min
orty report.
The judgeship and clerkship are tn
only things left to fight for. Embold
ened by Hanna's silence on these of
fees, many administration delegates
have suddenly discovered that the.
have opinions Of their own and ar
beginning to talk loudly for Price an'
Emerson MS aginst the slate Crew ant
Critchfield. The friends of Price an,
Emerson are making bare claims
Cuyahoga county appears on the ev
OF a split, majority going to Pric
and Emerson. The chances Of smash
ing the slate are good.
