assured success, and every person
in the city whotis the possessor Of
a boat, and others who are not,
will. help, man the boats. Thou

While he was reviewing it men
were putting the seats and black
boards in the new rooms, SO that

THE LENTZ FACTION GAINS a PARTIAL VICTORY
OVER KILBoURNE IN FRANKLIN COUNTY.
Columbus. Ohio. June CspecaD.-The seni-vic-
tory of the faction led by John J. Lentz in the
Franklin County primary election last night has
greatly encouraged the Tom L. Johnson Demo-
Gratis and the outlook for a pleasant voyage of
Colonel James Kilbourne's craft is not as promis-
ing as it was a week when his nomination by
the Democrats for the Governorship seemed a fore
gone conclusion. Colonel Kilbournes partial loss
of the primary election in his county IS a
check TO his ambitions. The vote a heavier
than has been cast at Democratic county
primaries in several years, and the coloners friends
cannot consistently claim that the result is due 10
carelessness. They have been informed in detail
OF the intention Of the Johnson-Lentz crowd TO do
him damage. and they have known for weeks that

Lentz's thumb setting plans to capture the
delegation 10 the State convention. name the legis
lative candidates in this county, and dictate the
nominations for county Offices Yet. despite his
combination with John r. Mclean and the advice
and assistance of the astute lieutenants OF the
Cincinnati man. Colonel Kilbourne has had re-
verse in his county
All the results OF the primary election were not
known until this morning. Lentz claims that ff-
of his friends were chosen State delegates,
and he has named OF the four legislative can
didates and most Of the candidates for county
offices The fifteen Lentz delegates 10 the State
| convention viii be compelled to keep up a SEM
| blance of loyalty to and vote for KilbouTne, but
in a hard and close fight they cannot be trusted.
Lentz would draw them off whenever their de-
sertion Of Kilbourne would seriously injure the
| latter's cause. That the Johnson Democrats are
in earnest in their fight AGAINST Kiibourne is made
| plain by the announcement Of Judge A w. Pat
rick's candidacy made last night. The judge s
personality appeals TO the party elements that find
in Colonel Kilbourne their ideal and II Is evident
that the Johnson managers propose to go into the
stalwart rock ribbed portion of the party and try
