Columbus, o., July 8. - Hon. John

actly one hundred years ago Zimmer-
mans granalather, one of the pioneer
settlers of Ohio, pushed through from
the east and took up tract of land in
Mahoning county close to Washington

today is occupied by his son, who Is

L. Zimmerman says they shall always
remain in the family name IL 1t is with
in his power to have 1t thus. Young
Zimmerman lived on his fathers farm
until he was II. He taught school for
awhile and in 1875 entered Mt. Union
college at Alliance. remaining there
but a short time. He graduated from
WittenbTg college at Springfield in
1879. He was admitted to the bar ear
ly in the SOS and has served two
terms as president of the Clark county
har association.
Conservative members look upon
Zimmerman as the ideal candidate
He, more than any other candidate
they think, would be the man whose
candidacy would be most likely to re-
unite the party. II Tom johnson
would withdraw his opposition to him
he would have little difficulty in win
ming and men who have the good OF
the party at heart will try to persuade
him to declare for Zimmerman. Four
teen counties have selected delegates
to the state convention, a majority OF
whom 1t is stated are for Zimmerman
The Columbus Citizen regards him as
the man of the hour for the Democracy
and strongly endorses his candidacy.

However several members of the board

overcome this and carry on the work

stood that State Secretary Budd is
strongly in favor of retaining the old

For the other proposition 1t is ad-

would be used in renovating the build

will go to Akron, where a new build
