MANY OHIO MEN HERE.
ANY Kind of Political Opinion OBJ

The town is full of Ohio politicians today
returning from the jamestown exposition.
1t begins to look as If Washington may get
lot of the jamestown visitors. When they
come surfeited with the delihgts, real or
imagined of the exposition, they will prob
ably come on up to Mecca.
Anyhow, the Buckeyes are here today, and
you can get almost any kind of a story you
want about the Ohio situation. For instance,
there is Harry Daugherty, one of the ora
cles in Ohio politics, who says lat 1t
looks like Taft He allows for ccilents,
however, and recalls that It a correspond
ing stage even McI<inley's nomination was
not assured.
Then there's Adjutant Gen. Critchfield of
Columbus, who thinks that Dausherty is
all wrong. why, it's Foraker. of course, -
says Gen. Critchfield. Then there is Sena-
tor Dick, who is still of the opinion that
in the end the 'od guard, meaning the
Dick-Foraker outfit, will win out. Senator
Dick went TO jamestown as the representa-
tive of the state administration, and today
was mainly occupied in showing the OHIO
visitors around the city.

labored upon the streets in a business
