ton today and tomorrow, left this
morning over the Erie, at 1925.
| The Marion representatives, nine In
number, in the convention have been
instructed only upon one proposition
that of voting for Governor Judson
Harmon for the gubernational nomin-
alton. The resolutions adopted by the
county convention strongly endorsed
the governor and his administration,
and pledged the support of Marion
county in the convention and later In
the election. AS to all other matters
which will come before the convention
the resolutions were silent. No other
candidates were endorsed and no
mention was made of the proposition
to endorse some one FOR the United
States senatorshlp.
This Is to be one of the big ques-
tions which will come before the con-
|vention and a lively bout is expected.
The Johnson followers are said to be
determined to force this issue upon
the convention. Governor Harmon has
taken the position that since no man
seemed sufficiently interested In the
Imatter to circulate q petition and have
his name placed on the ballot In the
primaries which were held May II,
the convention is poS bound, nor does
il come within it's province to make
an endorsement, but the matter must
be left entirely to the general as
sembly The view of the governor IL
the view of the Marion delegation and
it Is probable that no part VIII he
taken in the effort. If effort is made,

didate for the place
Upon one other nomination, the Ma
rion county delegates have very de-
cided opinion. Sa far as could be learn
ed all were very anxious to see Hon
Atlee Pomerene, OF Canton, nominat-
ed for the lieutenant governorship.
Mr. Pomerene is quite well known In
Marion where he has appeared at
three different times as a public
speaker and always to good advan-
tage. Mr.. Pomerene would add
strength to the ticket and Marion
county Democrats would be pleased to
see him in the place.
For the past few days there has
been considerable talk in Marion OF
Hon. Fred Il. CUTLERY for attorney
general. Mr.. Guthery's friends have
been urging upon him that he get
into the race, but so far he has turn
ed a deaf ear, stating that he prefer
red to continue uninterrupted the
practice of his profession in Marion.
Should Mr.. CUTLERY determine to
get into the race he will find nine
good workers In the convention who
will labor earestly for his nomina-
ton.
The labor people who have been
back of the campaign of Charles II.
Thatcher. the disbarred Toledo at
torney have announced that his name
would not be presented to the con-
vention.
Dayton, o., June 21-Atlee Pomer-
enc, of Canton Tom Johnson's cam
didate for governor two years ago,
and defeated for nomination by Jud-
son Harmon, is likely to be Har-
mons running mate this foil. Pom
creme has been very coy about the
nomination, having aspirations for
the United States senate, but he Is
not forgetful that the lieutenant gov
ernor, II the Democratic ticket Is
elected as not unlikely to become
governor by succession, for Harmon
is expected to resign as governor II
he receives the presidential nomina-
| tion.
Early Indications today are that
d. s. Creamer Is In a fair way to
land his denomination as state treas
urer, Senator Beatty regarded as his
most dangerous opponent was not
on the ground yesterday and report
was circulating that Creamer had
beaten down all opposition.
Newton ID. Baker of Cleveland
could have the nomination for at
torney general, but is is generally un-
derstood that he would not take Il

again be Grant Denman's oppon-
ent
For the-supreme court Judge N.
II. Donahue, OF New Lexington, is
an easy favorte with Judge James
Johnson OF Springfield probably next
In a promising field of seven.
The rest OF the ticket becomes a
matter OF geography, the leaders de-
string or course, to give every Sec
ton OF the state a definite interest
In the ticket. Charles Graves of
Ottawa county and John Henry New
man OF Miami county are the lead
Ing candidates for secretary of state
out Cyrus b. Winters. Democratic

sentatves' has not abandoned hope.
