but Senator Hanna vigorously denied
taking any part whatever in the con-
tests for those two places. Judge

and that the slate was broken. The
vote showed that Price and Emerson
had formed combination for both
of them. Judge Price of Lima has
been on the common pleas and circuit
benches. and Emerson has been prom
inent in Eastern Ohio for many years.
The nomination that caused the
most comment was that of Nippert in
place of Lieutenant Governor Cald-
WELL the latter being the only one who
was elected with Governor Nash two
years ago that was not renominated
for a second term. The Anti-Saloon
League caused Caldwell to run several
thousand behind his ticket in 1899 and
has vigorously opposed his nomina-
ton.
There were frequent calls for Cald-
well in the convention. but he could
not be induced to take the platform
or even rise in his seat. and Chairman
Hanna dispatched business in such q
way as to give no opportunity for dem
onstrations. When the delegates were
calling for Caldwell, Chairman Hanna
made Caldwell member of the com.
mittee to escort Governor Nash to the
hall to deliver his speech of accept
ance. and while this committee was
out Senator Hanna promptly called

at Cincinnati and police prosecutor
there. Like Caldwell. he is liberal

pressed its displeasure because Nip
pert in the last Legislature voted
against the Clark local option
bill On the other hand the represen
/ tatives of the liquor interests were
very much displeased over what the,

well. while Rev. Mr. Clark has beer
nominated in Columbus for the Legis
lature, and several Republican mem
bers who opposed the Clark local op
ton bill have been defeated for re
nomination.
