TWO CANDIDATES
NAMED IN THIRD
Republican Convention at Eat
on, O., Resulted in a
Split.
HARDING is RENAMED
THE BOLTERS FROM THE REGU-
LAR CONVENTION, HOWEVER,
NAMED COLONEL n. G. CATRCW
OF MIAMlSBURG FOR PLACE.

Eaton. O., May 15.-It was the ex-
bected that happened in the Third dis
trict republican political affairs here
yesterday. The Harding and Bieser
factions we're not inclined to bury the
hatchets with which they had been
hacking each other for several months
80 there were two republican district
conventions, with two candidates
nominated for congress, two delega-
tions to the national convention and
two presidential electors. 1t was a
kouble-header all along the line.
The followers of Congressman ].
Eugene Harding held forth in the
court house and put things through
with a whoop and hurrah. Down the
street a short distance, in the opera
house. the Bieserites kept up their
courage with a brass band and also
went through all the motions of put
Ting out a complete ticket.
The Harding convention, of course,
renominated Congressman Harding;
the Bieser convention, Colonel II. G.
Catrow, of Miamisburg. For dele
gates to the national convention, the
Harding gathering named n. p. Ram
sey, Of Montgomery and Oscar e. Gale
of Preble; the BieseriteS, Dan w. Al
1aman and Charles w. Bieser, both of
Montgomery f. p. Matthews, of
Montgomery and W. A. Smith, of Pre-
BILE, were the Harding alternates,
while A. c. Mcdonald and Raymond
Morrow, both of Montgomery, will go
20 the Chicago convention with alter
nate credentials from the Bieser fac
tion. The Hardingites nominated
John P. Hooven, of Butler, for presi-
dental elector and the Bieserites,
Raymond Hornbeck.
Agreed on Taft.
i There was just one matter of gen
eral Importance on which the oppos-
ing conve ntions agreed. and that was
in regard TO the candidacy of Secretary
William H. Taft. Both conventions
enthusiastically indorsed him and in
structed their delegates and altern-
ates to the national convention to
vote for him. On this point the Hard
ing convention was even more decid
ed than the Bieser. Congressman
Harding, in accepting the COMPRESSION
al nomination. paid a high tribute tc
Secre tary Taft, while compliments
equally flowery were showered on the
Secretary OF War by y. P Ramsey
and Oscar e. Gale. the two delegates
Altoge ther it has been many a day
since Eaton has seen SO much politi
cal excitement. One district conven
tion is usually sufficient to furnish
plenty of fun for those on the side
lines, but two conventions of the same
party, fighting each other tooth anc
nail, is enough to cause the average
citizen to melt down several collar.
in the course of the day trying to keeI
track Of what is going on in all tn,
rings Of the big political circus.
