concilable loggerheads and are not like

Belmont the balance of power and
makes II reasonably certain Of landing
one of the nominations. The other

brother is postmaster at Bridgeport,

attempt to defeat Duvall in his own
county but he still has some effective
weapons which he may use In the
convention. II Duvall Is knocked

the choice of his county for the nomi-

seek the honor two years hence. Bel

rison Is too small to cut much figure.
1t could not form any combination
with any other county which would
do any good as 1t would not make
majority. Two ballots could dis
pose Of both nominations, but more
may be taken. Chairman Hollings-

the convention.

the champion marksman of the Amer

Here is dandy plan to nominate
delegates stoy any convention, political
or otherwise. The Republicans OF
Licking have decided to hold pic
mic at Buckeye lake July 25 for the
purpose Of making their county NOM
nations. Under the spreading Buck
eye trees that surround the lake, the
convention will be held, and with the
gentle breezes blowing about the dele
gates, and the shade of these big trees
to make the delegates feG good, many
politicians are making the claim that
this is the only way to hold a con-
vention In the summer time as the
halls are entirely too close and warm.
'Tis an excellent idea, and other coun-
ties, II the occasion is presented. will
follow after the plan set by old Lick
ing.
Darke and Licking counties are the
first in the field to name their dele
gates TO the state Democratic conven-
ton. They stole march on all the
other counties in the state In the
Licking convention. not a word was
said In the resolutions about the head
of the national ticket. neither the
word Cleveland or Bryan" was
mentioned. Over in Darke county
Col. CARRIER had matters all his own
way and things are said to be encoun-
tering smooth sailing In that part OF
the state as far as that particular
county is concerned. e
The Prohibition state convention
opens at Springfield today. Harold
King Rockh!ll, sporting editor of the
Columbus Press and former Canton
newspaper man, will present the name
of Rev. N. d. Creamer, OF Columbus.
as candidate for governor.
Will wonders never cease. Another
story has reached the Democratic DO
litical bosses in this part of the state
from Clarke county that John L. Zim-
norman has decided to make the fight
of his life for the nomination for gov
ernor on that ticket. and has sent out
an order to those who helped him a
few years ago In his several political
battles to prepare for war Some of
his Columbus workers have received
word to this effect, and at last, the
position of the Springfield man has
been explained

when he marries his land
lady to avoid paying board bill.
