JUDGES son.

NAMES COMPOUNDED
Announcement That Judge w.

paign Speeches an
Error.
From a Staff Correspondent.

From a Staff Correspondent.
Columbus, Oct. 10.--It was given out
few days ago from state headquar-
ters and mentioned in this correspond
ence, that Judge William II. Day had
decided to take part in the Republican
campaign. This is found to be erron-
eous, and the error occurred through a
confounding of the names of Judge Day
and his son, William l.. Day. 1t was
thought strange at the time that Judge
Day, who had so frequently refused to
take part in political campaigns, since
his elevation to the federal bench,
would consent to speak, and SO soon
after the death of his bosom friend,
the late President Mckinley, but the
clerk has Strengthened the thing all
out, and William l.. Day, the judges
son, will do
THE SPELLBINDING.
The people Of Canton are still suffering
with little thrills as the result of the
younger Mr.. Days maiden speech, de-
less write to all of their Columbus
friends to be sure to be in attendance.
Mr.. Day will do his spellbinding foren-
sic in the Columbus auditorium, the
largest public hall in the state, the
building in which state conventions
and other large gatherings are held.
The meeting is to take place October
25, and the array of talent is already
being rounded up for the event. Among
the lesser lights who will talk Is a fell
low named Hanna, of Cleveland, who
took to the stump about the time Mr..
Day was working off his
MAIDEN EFFORT.
1t is said by people who live in the
neighborhood that Mr.. Day has i'm
proved at more rapid rate than the
man Hanna, and the exercises here will
probably resolve themselves purely in
to a test of oratorical ability, in the
presence Of which contest state issues
will be lost sight Of.
