Sharp Contests.

tonight are that the republican state con.
vention here tomorrow and the next day
will not be such harmonious ratification
meeting as was expected. While there will
be opposition to the endorsement of
President Roosevelt, Senator Hanna ana
others and no differences on national Is

state questions and very animated con-
tests for places on the state ticket, eH-
cept for governor. auditor OF state, attor.

loting for lieutenant governor and 1t win

was discovered plastering every available
space about the city with large, highly
cclored posters, reading:
No third-termers. The gallant Foraker
wns once defeated for a third term. Don't
jeopardize Hanna's reelection as senator.
Those who are seeking nominations for
third terms are Auditor of State Guilbert
Supreme Judge Burkett and School Com
missioner Bonebrake,
In 1889 Foraker was nominated for a third
term as governor and was defeated by
James e. Campbell, the last democratic
governor Ohio has had. There never have
been any third terms in state offices, except
| for auditor and supreme judges, but the
I posters are not so much against the break
! ing Of precedents desire on the part
OF those in the field to break the slate,
/ which includes al least two third-term men.
: As the members of the legislature no
are elected this year choose the successor
/ Of Marcus A. Hanna in the senate this is
called ''Hanna's year" Those known as
/ Hanna favorites" have already been nom
mated as the republican candidates for
state senators and representatives in the
different districts and counties and every
body now comedies the same make up
OF the entire state ticket.
! While a dozen prominent republicans
were contesting for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation until George B. Cox OF Cincinnati
recently visited Senator Hanna in Cleve-
land. and then declared himself for Myron
T, Herrick. the neighbor OF Hanna, all
have withdrawn except Albert Douglas OF

None Of the candidates have the usual
large delegations with them as shouters
and workers. but their most influential
friends call on Hanna and Cox, who ar
rived today. Foraker. Herrick and other
leaders will be here tomorrow.

chairman and will deliver the keynote
speech Wednesday evening. Senator For
aker will speak the next day on assuming
