Factions Active All Over the

Cincinnati, O., Dec. 31--The fight
between the Foraker and Hanna Re-
publicaps, for control Of the Ohio
Legislature was transferred to day to
Cincinnati, by the arrival of Lucas
county representatives from Toledo,
and Hanna leaders from Columbus.
The chase of one faction by the other
was exciting. The Toledo members
were considered doubtful. All had
decided to vote as a unit. The anti
Hanna men had representatives in To-
ledo for some days working with the
Lucas county members and two of
them, Harold Frazer and John G.
Jones, left Toledo last night for Gin
cinnat. Representative Demuth of
Toledo, and Samuel Cohen, chairman
of Lucas county Republican Commit
tee, were in Columbus last night,
when they learned that Frazer and
Jones had gone to Cincinnati, and they
also started for Cincinnati. The four
reached Cincinnati on different routes
this morning and happened to regis
ter at the same hotel at the same time.
Demuth is n pronounced Hanna man.
Cohen Is one of Hanna's leaders.
Meantime John Il. Malloy, the Hanna
manager, and others arrived from
Columbus at the same time and regis
tered at another hotel. The Lucas

A bet Of $500 at the Neil House last
night that Hanna would name the
speaker was eagerly snapped up by
the Foraker men who clamored fol
more of just such money. Politicians
are hesitatlng which way to turn to
strike the real band wagon.
