HARMON'S FRIENDS
 BOOMING HIM
There Will be an Interesting Division in the Ohio Democratic State Con- ypntion Over the Question Of Eu-
 dorsing Candidate for senate.

Dayton, Ohio, Tuen 22.-Confzdent Of victory in the fall elections and with their enthusiasm given added force by the belief that their standard bearer in the campaign about to begin will be the presidential candidate t1o years hence, the Democratic hosts Of Ohio have rallied here in force for the state nominating convention The con- vention will organize by the appoint ment of the necessary committees and to listen to the opening addresses. Tie work will be completed tomorrow by the nomination of state ticket and the adoption of platform.
 Governor Judson Harmon will be renominated by exclamation No other name will be presented for the had Of the ticket. Contests are in pros peet for the nominations for lieI1ea- ant governor and state treasurer, D1lt the general belief is that when the convention gets down to work a Ia1e approved by Governor Harmon will be put through without much difficulty, Governor Harnlons speech of accept ance tomorrow is expected to so1nd the keynote of the campaign and 9iil doubtless be of national interest, since he is looked upon as possible candi- date for the presidency two years hence
 Memorial hall: Dayton new con- Vention building, is the scene Of the Democratic gathering the first held here since 1389 Atlee Pomerine Of Canton is temporary chairman and George E. Christian temporary secre- tary
 One of the subjects with which the convention has to deal and the only one apparently which threatens to in- terfere with the general harmony of the gathering is the question endors- ing candidate for United States Sen ator. The proposal to endorse a senatorial candidate was approved by William J Bryan, who some time go wrote letter attacking Governor Harmon for his opposition to the sug- gestion. MT. Bryan has always had a large following among Ohio Demo- crats. but in his demand that they nominate candidate for the senate in their state convention he has found little support. Nevertheless fight on the question in convention is al- ready clearly outlined, and it may not be an easy matter to defeat the re- solution. yT
 Many Of the Democratic leaders be- lieve MT. Bryan was instigated to make his demand upon Governor liar. mon by Tom F. Johnson, of Cleveland. Nearly two months ago Johnson de- clared his intention of offering a re- solution in the state convention that the convention proceed to the nomina- tion of a candidate for the senator ship. The former mayor of CIeve- land is Q delegates to the convention. and will have about 100 Of the 1t00 delegates in it under his control

To Endorse for President.

\ presidential endorsement for Co., ernor Harmon will be a part of the platform laid before the convention. This has been definitely decided upon by Democratic leaders, and Governor Harmon, although aware of their pur- poses, has shown so far no intention of opposing them. The governor proposes to confine his campaign fur renomination to State issues, according to statement made by him last nishr but he declined to discuss the presi- dential boom in any way. As far as the gubernatorial nomination is ?oa- cerned the foregone conclusion is that Governor Harmon will be renomina- ted, and 1t is also considered sertle1 that Atlee Pomerone of Canton wai be named as lieutenant governor, al- though fight is expected.

Working ON the Grounds

Manager Wordsworth is spending the
biggest part of his time now trying t.
put the old grounds at West End in the
best possible shape. 1t is stated that
the diamond will have been shaped up
by Thursday. and the drainage system
is being considerably improved. The
grandstand,- smoker and bleachers are
being repaired sufficiently to MAX :
them last until the new park Is ready
for occupancy.
Relative to the question of a new
park. the association still has nothing
to say for publication. 1t is stated,
however. that plans are being worked
out quietly and the information re-
ceived yesterday afternoon was tp the
effect that everything will have been
shaped up by the end of the week, when
the location of the new park will be an
nounced.
AS soon as Mr.. woodward and other
stockholders In the association have
agreed upon the location, and it is un-
derstood that they have already practi-
cally come to a conclusion. work will
begin on the new park Immediately, 1t
being the intention to have the new
grounds ready for occupancy by July 4.

Ex-Congressman NJ. w. Howard of
Fort Payne is in Birmingham, engaged
in the trial of cases in which he is in
terested, in the federal court. Mr.. How
ard is recognized as one of the strongest
lawyers in north Alabama.
He has wide reputation for aggressive
independence in politics, and many ru-
nors are abroad in the Seventh district of
his possible action in the coming cam
paign The republicans and independents
OF the Seventh district are said to be
looking eagerly for strong man to make
the race against Congressman John l..
Burnett. Mr.. Howard is prominently
mentioned in this connection, but 1t Is
said that he will not run on a straight re-
publican ticket and the independents
have failed so far TO secure his leader
ship in a contest. There is a question as
to whether tho republicans will support
him as an independent, though they have
great respect for his ability, honesty and
political power.
MIR. Howard declares that he is out of
politics and will devote his time to the
practice of law and in the building up of
the business and industrial interests of his
home town.
He is leading spirit in the new devel-
opment of Fort Payne. and is needed at

Not Worrying
PUTTING GROUNDS AT
WEST END IN SHAPE
Nine Old Southern League Men Trying
For Bcrths in big Lcngues-Tom
Downey With Cincinnati-Car-
los Smith at Shreveport
BY CHARLES FELL

Day after tomorrow is the appointed
day.
When Manager Carlton Wordsworth
issued his call to arms he specified that
his warriors should report to him in
Barontown on March 10. which is
Thursday, None of the boys are in
town yet, but they are liable to drop
in at most any time now and it is a
safe bet that most of them will spend
tomorrow night in Slagtown. Moley
says he doesn't know who to expect
first, but states that all of the fellows
will be here in due time.
Manager Wordsworth stated yester-
day afternoon that he had received
neither Kanes nor Manuel's contract,
but the Baron leader Is pretty sure
that both of these men will put in their
appearance in a day or two, or maybe
a little later and sign their contracts
after they arrive in Slagtown.
There is just this about it," said
Moley, "if Kane and Manuel don't report
to me they won't play baseball this sea-
son. They both want more money, but
this is a part of the business. The as
ISOLATION can not figure that either of
the two are worth more and 1t is not
at all likely that they will get 1t. i
am we'll protected in this matter and Ii
the two men fail to report to me they
won't play ball, and that's all there is
to it,"
Manager Molesworth declares that
even If Kane does desert him he VIII
come out all right. Elliott and Boyle
he says. are both youngsters, but they
are promising. Then L have been as
sured that can, little later on, get
a good man from one of the big league
teams" said the manager yesterday
afternoon. Il am not at all fearful OF
the situation, but on the other hand full
ly expect to have my aggregation in
shape by April IA, when the season will
open"
