In conversation, few days since
prominent Ohio Democrat, who en-.

leaders of the Anti.Hanna faction in

Democrat man that the plan to have
Governor Nash get off the ticket and
to substitute the name of General
Charles Dick, had assumed proportions,
and that 1t was scheduled to happen
within a month. The Republican lead.
ers on the Hanna side know that
Nash's action with reference to the
Toledo centennial will lose him thous,
ands of votes In northwestern Ohio,
and his action on the Cincinnati boxing
contest hurts him in that section. His
general conduct of affairs has been
weak, and in all parts of the, state
there is dissatisfaction. The story has
been going the rounds that Nash want.
ed denomination by way of alleged
yindication, and then agreed that his
health would suddenly get bad or some.
thing else would accommodatingly oc-
cur to him that would make a plausible
reason for him to get off the ticket.
Then he would retire in favor of Dick.
This story was vehemently denied,
but 1t will not down. Dick has now
been selected as ehairman of the state
committee, which will keep him in
touch with all affairs of the campaign,
so that when he goes on the ticket
he will know just what has been done
and what Is yet to accomplish. The
Ohio Democrat who is responsible for
revival of this story, insists that the
program will be carried out, unless
there is a material change in the sen,
timent of the people with reference to
Nash. which change is not likely to
occur.
