f DICK
Was Reelected
Chairman
OF the State Executive
Committee.
Chairman Durr Was
Not on Hand
And the Committee Organized
Without Him.

Columbus, o., July 1.-Chairman
Peter Durr of the Republican state Gen.
tral committee did not put in an ap-
Saturday. He sent word that he could
not be present and that he would is
sue call for a meeting later on, but
the meeting was held Just the same.
The other members of the committee,
having come some distance in very
hot weather, did not believe that they
would be justified in going home with
out attending to the business for which
they were assembled and they went
right ahead.
The meeting was harmonious. AS
some twenty-one members had been Sc
lected by Senator Hanna, it would
have bee strange If there had been any
discord. Charles Dick was reelected
chairman and John r. Malloy Sec
retary of the state executive commit
tee. The choice Of Gen. Dick for the
craftsmanship was made at the re.
quest of Gov. Nash, who as long ago as
last fall told the general that he want
ed him to run his campaign. Gen.
Dick asked that Malloy be selected
for the secretaryship.
Gen. Dick wanted small executive
committee. His wishes were not re.
spected. As the request for small
committee did not come from Hanna
the honors were made to 90 as far as
possible. In addition to the chairman
and secretary, thirteen members of the
Executive committee were selected as
follows; E.. r. Matthews, Dayton;
Julius Fleischmann, Cincinnati; H. A.
Marting, Ironton; John H. Fitch.
Youngstown; Harry Hoover, Newark
George c. Durham, Toledo; Charles
NJ. Hogg, Cadiz; s. L. Patterson, Wa

c. Sands, Logan; w. L. Parmenter,

land; H. H. Hollenbach, Cleveland.
Chairman Dick announces that he
will open the Republican headquarters
within very short time, but the
speaking campaign will not be com
menced before the middle of Septem
ber. He favors one grand opening
meeting instead of number of simul
taneous meetings.

MiIlers Are a Close Second In the
CITY Directory.

How many Smiths are there in the
new city directory which the publish
ers have just delivered? Nearly every
one would guess more than the real
number 25S. This does not include
q few who spell the name with y.
Nearly everyone would say that
Jones was the next most common
name, but the Millers, the Browns
and the williams beat the Joneses by
far. There are SO of the latter. OF
Millers there are 23s, not counting the
Muellers. There are 130 Browns and
103 Williamses.
The most distinguished name in the
directory? 1t is easily Geo. Washing
ington. The warmest name is Hott
The most unhappy name is probably
Loveless. The coldest name is moi
Cooley, but Winter. The dearest name
is either Love" or Joy" The most
sought for name is Kasch. The dark
est name would be Ink, If it were
not Black. The loudest name is
Howells. There is no Sweet name
in the directory, but there is a Sweet
en-.
There is no surname in the direc
tory which begins with X. The long
est name in the directory is moi
Schneckenberger because Schratzen
.er beats it by one letter.

CONTEST
Between Old and
Young
Not Ended by Satur-
days Result. h.
Propose to Stay In the
Fight
Until They Have Elected Their
Chairman.

'Ifs high time we made our iniu-
ence felt,' said young Republican,
previous to the organization of the
County Executive Committee Saturday
afternoon. n
eve have been standing around with
our hands in our pockets allowing the
SO called leaders of the party to do as
they deemed best. Apparently all that
we have been good for was to tag
around after them. Today we propose
to let them know that we are in town."
Ex-Secretary S. D.. Kenfield had been
selected by the younger element
for their candidate. He claims that
he was forced into the contest against
his own wishes; that he knew
that the slate had been fixed and that
1t would take a mighty effort to crack
it. After the ballots were counted
there was conclusive evidence that he
was carrect in his surmise. He received
20 votes and Judge e. w. Stuart, the
machine candidate, 81.
And now the young men say that 1t
was Gen. Dick that brought about the
defeat Of Mr.. Kenfield. They say
that the general was very active in the
matter and that if he had kept his
hands off their man would have won.
Although disheartened they are not
discouraged.
1--WE will be in it the next time and
and the contest will be kept up until
we win out" said the same young
man who had talked so bravely before
the battle. A somewhat peculiar fea-
ture of the siatuation is the fact that
the younger element does not have
the backing Of the Young Lawyers
Republican Club. To man the or.
ganization is with Gen. Dick.
