 From this time on VOrys will spend the major part of his time with his chief. He has endeavored to fla miliarize himself with every local po- litical situation in Ohio and today ad ded from 15,OOO to 10000 votes to his previous estimate in the Buckeye state which will give the republican national ticket 100000 plurality
 Norys predicts the success of the Ohio state ticket and analyses the congressional situation with no losses over the present republican represen- tation of sixteen republicans to five democrats.
 Though Vorys brings with him demand from every part of the state for the presence of Taft during the campaign. the decided inclination of the candidate as well as the judg ment of advisors is against travel ing campaign.
 The important problem of Hitch cock at present is the selection of the members of the advisory com nittee of nine, decided on as a means of aid in financing the national cam paign.
