he was during the Roosevelt admins
tration, but is given equal recognition
with his new colleague, Senator Bur-
ton. Republican oGmbers Of congress
will continue to act as referees in
their respective districts. Both of
the senators attended the conferences
held at the white house and elsewhere
in the national capital and there was
4 perfect unanimity of opinion as re-
CARDS the distribution Of offices
throughout the state. There is no
concealment of the fact that this ar
rangement is extremely satisfactory,
since, from the standpoint of patron
age, the Buckeye state, as much as
was the Empire state. was not recog-
nized as having representatives in the
upper branch of congress since the
summer of 1906 and the close align
mept of Foraker and Dick which
quickly followed.
Mr.. Vorys upon his return last night
issued one of those adroitly worded
statements which apparently needs no
further comment on the subject and
which by no known process, could
possibly be elaborated upon.

This did not prevent the corre-
spondent from asking hts intentions
with reference to jthe gubernatorial
nomination next year. Mr.. Vorys
locked surprised; he almost looked
panied. Then he carefully explained
that he had not thought of such a
thing. And there you are.
Meantime. the press Of the state is
devoting more space to Mr.. A. L. Car
ford OF 'Eyria for the office of gover-
nor than any other man. Mr.. Gar
ford is a member Of the state central
committee, an old time party worker,
allied with no faction and never was.

Yet Lieutenant Governor Francis
w. Treadway Of Cleveland got into
the game when he bitterly arraigned
Governor Harmon in speech before
the Tppecanoe club at Cleveland
Thursday night. speech which was
repeated at Massillon last night the
lieutenant governor created more sur
prise than enthusiasm when he sud-
denly launched into criticism Of the
executive for alleged insincerity. He
was especiall-- vehement when he de-
clared that Harmon has disclosed iim-
self to be a "small politician" in send
ing a special message to the general
assembly a few minutes before final
adjournment in which he deplored the
failure to enact certain complex re-
forms. These had to do with taxation
and probe of all state departments
and institutions of his own naming,
serious objection being made in the
message to the assembly's decision
that the probe should be non-partisan,
composed of a Democrat to be named
by the governor and a Republican to
be selected by the lieutenant governor.
Has Been Criticized
This was criticized as "the cheap
est buncombe" by Lieutenant Cover
nor Treadway. Because of the tradf-
ton which closely associates the Of
fees of governor an dlieutenant gov
ernor, even though they be of opposite
political faith, the state has been STIR
red by the remarks of Treadway. He
has been openly criticised by many
Republicans. who sought reference to
these matters on the stump next year.
Ruckeye Republican politicians figure
that It is folly to waste ammunition; /;
that the people must be given credit
for forming their own impressions Of
acts Of public officials and 1t is neces-
sary only to refresh their memory
when the battle of ballots is in prog
ress.
But Treadway is believed to have
had his reasons for attacking Gov
ernor Harmon at this time. He had
not mentioned his aspiration hereto
fore for the reason, possibly, that no
opportunity had presented itself. Not
ing the mysterious attitude Of Mr..
Vorys and the industry of Garfield's
friends. he availed himself of the
first chance he encountered.
Garfield will anchor in Cleveland
next week, where he has already
formed a law partnership. Treadway
is also resident of Cleveland and
Garfield divides his time between
Cleveland and Elyria in the adjoining
county of Lorain. II will require
something more than human ingenu-
ity to overcome the sentiment favor
able to naming a man from northern
Ohio to head the ticket next year.
