No opposition worth mentioning de-
veioped during the day. The supreme

cess by the Foraker element In Guy
ahoga county by declaring that the
latt county committee was the only
valid organization OF its kind in that
county and the selection of delegates
there went by default. no ticket be-
ing placed in the field against the
Taft candidates.
Actual voting for delegates to the
state convention was carried ON in
but 35 of the total of IS counties in
the state, the Taft delegates in 40
