RdicuIes Third
Ticket Idea.
Sounding Brass and
TinkIins CymbaIs.
Says Party Organs Are
Making a Mistake
In Encouraging the Matter
Governor In Better Health.

"For the Republicans not to watch
every point during the approaching
fall campaign will be suicide. To
take anything for granted or to lie
back on supposedly superior party
organization may mean disastrous de-
feat" So spoke Gov. George Nash,
the standard bearer of Ohio Republl-
cans for the second time at the home
Of Sen. Hanna, Saturday night. The
Governor arrived in Cleveland late
Friday night from Buffalo on the
Naval Reserve cutter Hawk and was
driven at once to Senator Hanna's
Lake ave. residence.
Indications are that one of the
greatest political battles ever waged
in Ohio will be on when the campaign
opens this fall" he said. "To win
the Republicans must fight the entire
Democratic party. Such movements
as the so-called Bryanltes hold, led
by Groot, and whatever other dis
contents are behind it, must be re-
garded as sounding brass and u tink-
ling cymbal.
''The party organs that play UP such
moves really do harm because they
are inclined to instill ovcrcontidence
among their own following. While
not having examined into the question
closely, to my mind the so-called
Bryanites' movement will prove to
be nothing but n flzzle."
In speaking Of the rundown OF
Caldwell by the Republican conven
tlon the Governor said: IT cannot
see why Nippert should not prove tc
be as strong candidate with the sa
loon element as Caldwell He is Ger
tainly as much identified with the
saloon interests as the present Lieu
tenant Governor and is a strong oppon
ent of the Clark ward option bill"
The Governor appeared to be al
sea regarding the effect of the Anti
Saloon League vote. He stated tha
they We're becoming stronger political
ly every day and must be recognized
by both parties. He ventured til,
opinion that their canvass might caust
some big surprises in many of thu
Legislative districts.
Reports from our leaders indicat,
bitter fight for control of the Legls
iature," continued the Governor. II
the Democrats capture Cleveland
Cincinnati and Toledo they will com,
very close to whipping us in the Legls
lative fight"
The Governor said he was not wor
rled about the political effect of hi
action in stopping the Ruhlin-Jeffriel
prize fight at Cincinnati. The priz,
fight matter was brought up by tn,
fact that the Governor has man,
times been informed that his actor
In preventing the mill after all til,
preliminary arrangements had beer
made would cost him thousands O.
votes.
| He refused to discuss the action o.
the Democratic convention and tn,
platform adopted. Il really have no
yet read the PLATFORM" he said, IAN,
do not care TO discuss It."
The Governor says that he Is rap
idly regaining his usual health an,
that his physicians inform him tina
by exercising care he will be as wei
as he ever was by Sept /. He say,
he expects to get into the thick of tn,
campaign and will be at the disposa
OF the campaign committees,
THE preliminary work of the cam
paign VIII start at once" said tn
Governor "and the work of organi
zation will be pushed. The speaking
campaign, l believe, will commenc
about Sept 20, and continue with N
let up until the close"
You say you are here for rest
Governor, but there will be politica
conference of some sort during you
stay, will there notT"
"oh, politics are not barred" h
responded.
