r,es of the state campaign
S TGe Republicans hold their state convention :, u

Viewed in such light the Ohio campaign assumes dramatic nos

INSURGENT.
Garfield openly fauntngy is insurgent He does ap
prove of Tats methods particularly in the Department of the In
terror which Garfield vacated for Richard Balinger Garfield
Forester Pncho chms. They call each other by nick

following visit he and Pnchot made Sycamore Hill to see
Roosevelt prasng the insurgents for their firm stand for progressive
legislation Congress- He and Pinco evidently had planned it
Pno the day before had given similar statement in New
