OHIO ELECTIONS
will Have Bearing in Several
Important Matters.
New Legislative Municipal Code Will
Reorganize Every Municipality.
Gubernatorial, Senatorial and Presiden-
tial Candidates in Sight.

Cincinnati, April 5.-The local cleo
tons through Ohio, tomorrow, will be
especially important because of the
new municipal code enacted recently
by the Legislature which reorganizes
every municipality. There will be no
officers holding over and for this reason
the party advantages secured will be
greater than heretofore at April cleo
tions With more at stake than before,
the party organizations have been I'M
usually active and many charges of
fraudulent registration have been
made. Several hundred warrants were
prepared in Cincinnati, today, for ser
vice, tomorrow. 1t is charged that more
than 1000 false registrations have been
made in single ward.
The present registration has broken
all April records, also in other cities.
The mayors of the larger places like
Cincinnati. Cleveland, Columbus, Tole-
do. Dayton, Sandusky, GAINESVILLE, are
running for reelection, and Jones of
Toledo. for the fourth time. Ingalls, in
Cincinnati, and Johnson in Cleveland,
are credited with being candidates, this
year, for the Democratic nomination
for governor as well as for the mayor
atty of their respective cities and next
year for the Presidency.
The election, tomorrow, also will be
watched closely on account of it's bear
ing on the candidacy of Myron T. Her.
rick of Cleveland, for the Republican
nomination for governor, and on the
reelection of United States Senator
Hanna. The Legislature selected next
November will elect Senator Hanna s
successor and the control of the
municipalities is considered of impor-
lance in the coming state election
Senator Hanna, while taking special
interest in the contest in his own city,
has been as far south as Dayton to
speak in this campaign.
While the result, tomorrow, is thus
considered as indirectly affecting tho
coming election of state officers and
members of the Legislature, it is also
conceded that it will have bearing at
Cleveland on both the Democratic and
Republican nominations for governor
and at Cincinnati it may develop the
Democratic opponent of Senator Han
ma as we'll as affect the next Demo-
cratic nomination for governor.

lie to an officer if can prevent it.

gone into navy. Wasn't smart enough.
We got caught. ..

after this. Didn't know about these
things. Guess I'll be honest"

EDWARD AND POPE E,
Can EngIand's King Call on
His Holiness at Rome?
Peculiar and Somewhat Embarrassing
h Situation Is Being Found.
Germans Crown Prince and Danish
Princess to Be Betrothed.

Rome, April 5.-The chief topic of
discussion at the Vatican continues to
be whether or not King Edward will
see the Pope. The ceremonial pro-
posed that the King should start from
the British embassy, is much opposed,
not because he would be starting from
the residence Of an ambassador accred-
tied to the Quirinal, for the King once
there, say the Vatican authorities, it
ceases to be an embassy to become the
house of the sovereign, but because
Cardinal Rampolla must return the
royal visit to the Pontiff and he would
arrive at the house, when King Edward
having left, it had become again an
embassy accredited to the King of
italy. 1t is suggested that King Ed
ward on leaving the Vatican should re-
turn to the British embassy, followed
closely by Cardinal Rampolla, who
would arrive while the King was still
there. The objection against this
course is that it would create a pre-
cedent. The nuncio at Lisbon has been
charged to sound King Edward on the
subject.
