in Ohio of novelist being doomed for

Mayor Tom l.. Johnson of Cleveland

Whitlock of Toledo the next democratic
nominee for that office. Mr.. Whitloek is
a friend of johnson and was also init
mate with Golden Rule Jones. Should
he be elected, Ohio would be unique among
the states the possessor of literary
executive who has made his mark in
the world of books. However, it is safe
to assume that Mr.. Whitlock is a better
novelist than he would be a governor and
that he stands more chance of turning
out another successful book than he does
