Harmon of Ohio, Gov. Marshall of In
diana, Mayor Gaynor of New York
and other Democrats whose names
have been more or less conspicuously
mentioned in connection with the Pres
idential nomination, will be present.
Before the dinner was announced the
National Democratic Committee was
consulted. The speeches will sound
keynote for 1912, it is expected. Gov.
Harmon appears to he in most favor as
a Presidential possibility, southern
Democrats in Congress, as rule, ia
voring his candidacy. There was much
Harmon talk at the Governors confer
ence in Washington in December.
Much will depend on the State cam
paign In Ohio. If Gov. Harmon is re-
elected this fall, 1t is claimed here that
his chances for the nomination will be
advanced almost to certainty.

by no mention is made of an apprO-
priation to carry out the expense of
this feature. Though President Taft
has cited the need of an appropriation
for $4,000 1t is not likely that Con-
gress will be in any hurry to grant t.
The returns to the commissioner of
internal revenue were due March l.
1t will be seen. therefore. that unless
some provision is made for the pub
licity feature the corporations may es-
cape the limelight altogether.
