:, Columbus, O., April 23. = Sentiment
is growing in favor of the selection of
State Senator Warren G. Harding, of
Marion, for the Republican nomination
for governor. His acceptance of the
honor would be pleasing to Hanna

State Senator Harding's graceful re-
tirement from the gubernatorial race
has so pleased Hanna's friends that
they are urging him to be a candidate
