HARRIS AGAINST PRIMARY
Ohio Governor BeIieUes One Cannot
Be Held This Year.

Columbus. Ohio. May Ex-Governor Harris said
tonight that the laws of the state are such that
IL is not practicable to hold primary this year
to decide the states preference for the Presiden-
tial nomination.
81 do not feel that IL is at all advisable TO hold
a state primary this year" said Governor Har-
ris II believe. with the Attorney General that
II would be impossible to safeguard such an
election contest and the results could not but be
hurtful TO the people OF the state, Of whatever
party.
There is no statutory provision Tor primary
of this character That Is clearly evident There
remains therefore, but the one means for Il
primary-a primary by agreement OF the con-
testants. Such a contest would be bound by no
law, and the perpetrators Of any fraud therein
would be answerabe to no court
'It would seem, therefore. that II is en-
tirelv improper 10 further discuss the question.
for there is no hope Of any such contest, and
discussion can accomplish no good
The Taft men displeased with the state
rnent by the Governor. saying that 1t is along
the line of the position Of the friends Of the
two United States Senators. The Governor,
bou,ever insists that he is keeping out of the
Apht and will not take any part in 1t.
MANY people here believe that this statement
makes r. almost certain that no such primary
az vas suggested will be held this year.

it appreciates the strength OF the demand OF

In order to avoid drifting into tariff war

In Republican political circles In Ohio. Hahn

requisition upon the Governor OF the State OF
Ohio for his extraditton. The Governor of the
State OF Ohio issued his warrant for the arrest
OF Hahn and his extradttion after hearing, and
Immediately a writ of habeas corpus was sued out
in the courts of Ohio.
For two years Hahn fought extradition in the
courts of Ohio and the expense to this county was
great. The Supreme Court OF Ohio finally dis
missed the writ. remanded Hahn to custody. TO
be extradited to the State Of New York and i'm
mediatey thereafter and within day OF the
piratiOn of his term of Office. the Governor Of
Ohio revoked his warrant which he had previously
ISSUED, and the State of New York has never been
