combination will have difficulty in controh-

tricts on this question: The farmer mas ,

| Plans Of the Republicans.
| Judging from action taken this week In
| q number of county republican conventions,
| the word has been passed down the line
| from the republican leaders that Lieuten-
| ant Governor John A. Caldwell, as well as
| Governor Nash, is to be nominated for
second term without opposition. In Fay
cite and Auglaize counties, where the lead
ers were known to be opposed TO the re-
nomination Of Caldwell resolutions were
| adopted indorsng him for a second term.
| If this is done it will be victory of George
| b. Cox of Cincinnati, who alone demanded
| the nomination of Caldwell for second
| term, when all the other prominent leaders
| of the state were saying that 1t would be
| suicidal for the party to do so. CoXs ar
| gument was clearly faEacious, and it can
| hardly have been that that lead the party
| managers to CoXs way of thinking. The
| fact urged against CaldwelTs nomination
! was that the opposition of the temperance
| republicans reduced his plurality 10000 be-
| low the average at the last election. Cox S
| answer to this was that the total vote cast
| for Caldwell was greater than that for
! Nash. and therefore Caldwell was more
| popular than Nash.
| The fact was. however that there was a
| republican running independently for gov
| ernor-Mayor Jones of Toledo-who divided
! the republican vote for governor There
was no independent candidate for lieuten-
ant governor, and Caldwell got the
votes of all republicans who would not
vote straight for his democratic opponent
Defying the Anti-saloon League.
| In nominating Caldwell again and gener-
| ally retiring the members of the general
| assembly who voted for the Clark local op-
| ton bill the republicans are defying the
| Anti-Saioon League, very strong or
| ganiZation. as recent elections show. OF
| >ourse, to take the other course would
| ave invited the antagonism of the liquor
llterests which have large wealth behind
them and are we'll organized. But these
interests have never been very much afraid
II democratic supremacy in Ohio, anyhow,
and there is the danger to the republicans
that the liquor interests, having succeeded
in debating the republican nominations,
will not be very much exercised thereafter
as to who is elected. Not in decade have
so many elements of uncertainty been in
troduced in a state campaign In Ohio, and
this, with senatorial election pending,
makes the situation unusually interesting.
Gov. Nash has so far recovered his health
as to be able to come to his office for
| short time each day He walks without
assistance, and his apoplectic symptoms
have so completely disappeared as to leave
little reason to fear that he may not be
able to take the lead in the state cam
paign.
