seemed to be the policy TO have harmony

OF principles. While all conceded that 1t
was "Hanna's year." yet he would not
use his influence except for the head of
the ticket in naming his neighbor, Myron

great friend. George B. Cox, OF Cincinnati,
certainly named Warren G. Harding for
Lieutenant Governor and Wade Hampton

others. especially McKinnon for treasurer,
were strongly indorsed.
OF the three candidates for third terms
GuiIbert was the only WINNER. Governor
Nash and Ex-Governor Bushnell had to do
with Guilbert's success. as Guilbert served
under both OF them He was also deputys
auditor OF state and by both Nash and
Bushnell was considered as indispensable
so that Herrick was also said to have
wanted the benefit of his experience of
sixteen years in that office. Ever since
Nash was nominated for Governor over
ex-Representative Harry NJ. Dougherty
four years ago there has been a consider
able Dougherty element which was recog-.
nized in the nomination of McKinnon for.

soldier. this matter OF soldier representa-
ton welded a great influence in other con-
testfs. wildman came close to the nomina-
tion for supreme Judge because of the claim
that he served in his fathers regiment, and

There never was more talk about fixing a
slate in advance OF the convention than
this year. but the balloting indicated that
such was not the case with at least some
of the minor places. II Is stated that neither
