have been goldbricked. While the
Capitalization school bill for that To-
cality did not become law, the re-
lief it provided for will not be with
held from those who advocated 1T.
II develops that the school bill IN
troduced by Representative Kimball,
of Lake, which was made law, en-
bodies within itself the features Of the
New Baltimore School bill. Repro
sentative Metzger had the bill amend
ed to provide for this. He did not
take Senator Wilhelm into his conf
dence, and the measure slipped through
the sepc.e without his notic-
ing that. 1t carried q rider in the form
of a provision for the New Baltimore
district.
John Taylor, who moved heaven and
earth, as it were, to secure the passage
of the special school bill, stayed in
Columbus until the legislature ad-
journed. He hung on most tena-
ciously, having been present during
almost the entire session. The oppo-
nents of the bill have been outwitted
and doubtless feel like kicking
themselves when they find out how 1t
was done. Mr.. Metzger introduced the
original bill and had 1t passed in the
house without trouble.
Senator Wilhelm juggled 1t around
in the senate for a while and then had
1t placed in the hands Of committee,
which refused to report it back with
out his recommendation.
Chairman Crafts, of the house
finance committee, presented each Of
the members of the committee with a
fine silver handled silk umbrella. Mr..
Metzger Is a member of the commit
tee.
Senator Frank B. Archer, of Bel.
mont, has decided to be a candidate
for the Republican nomination for
lieutenant governor In 1908. He made
formal announcement of his candidacy
on Tuesday. He has served two terms
as senator and had almost made up
his mind to try for a third, but he
abandoned the idea in order to enter
the race for lieutenant governor. He
is now acting-lieutenant governor.
Hon. Thomas Kinsman, of Trumbull,
who desires to succeed Senator Writ,
of Youngstown, in the Ohio senate,
has gone to Washington to see Uncle
Marcus. His mission has to do with
his candidacy. Mr.. Kinsman is known
as on ardent Hanna follower.
Ae respectable appearing boom has
been launched at the state capital for
Hon. M. A. Norris, Of Youngstown,
for the Republican nomination for
Judge Of the supreme court. 1t is
generally believed that he will prove
to be very much Of a factor in the
race Representative Sharp, Democrat,
of Fairfield, which has been detached
from the Tenth and placed in the
Eleventh district, has announced that
he will enter. the congressional race
against Grosvenor. or course he will
first have to carry off the nomina-
tion, but he thinks he can do this.
Several candidates have announced
themselves for the position held by
State Dairy and Food Commissioner
Blackburn. The Connell bill giving
Blackburn another year in Office was
buried deep by the house in conse-
qucnce of which Blackburn will part
company with the job soon after the
first of the new year. The Republican
convention which meets at Cleveland
in two weeks will nominate candi-
date to succeed Blackburn. Linus
Kaufman, of this city, who Is candi-
date, is said to have the Dougherty
influence at his back, and will be a
hard man to beat. M. A. Bridge, one
of Blackburn's deputies, will also be a
candidate, as will Representative An
keney, of Greene. The most interest
ing fight of the convention will be
over this nomination.
