upon the President from every quarter.
Every time anything important is to be
done in Ohio along comes an Ohioan or
two Of prominence to consult with hlm
about it. In recent days there have
been a number Of these Buckeye Wis
itors. Just now they are concerned
over the selection of Republican State
chairman. They want to find the right
man for the place and believe If they
do something will have been done to
bring the party to ''an old fashioned
campaign and an old fashioned vic
tory that Senator Dick talked about
when here late last week.
Representative Nicholas Longworth,
of Cincinnati, and Mrs. Longworth,
came recently and are living at cot
tage on the North Shore. The Presl-
dent and Mr.. Longworth always did get
along well together. Soon after
"Nick' arrived he and the President
had a game Of golf together and Incl
dentallv they have been talking Ohio
campaign now and then. Mr.. Long
worth has been a most staunch sup
porter Of the President, which, as has
often been remarked, is not without
significance because ''Nick > is Colonel
Roosevelt S son-inlaw.
The Cincinnati congressman had not
been long on the round before Senator
Dick arrived and put up at beverly s
official hotel He came in anticipation
of the coming of Warren G. Harding,
the Republican nominee for governor.
Eventually all these Ohioans grayitated
down to the President s cottage and
there was fine old sit-down' with
ways-o of beating Harmon as the piece
de resistance. Ex-Lieutenant Governor
Harding had been on a motoring trip
in New England and stopped off at Bev-
erly en- route. He is getting a little
rest and recreation in advance of the
strenuous canvass that is ahead Of him.
Keeping in Close Touch.
So it is that the President is keeping
in very close touch with the Ohio cam
paign. He knows to a "T'' what IS
going on out there and is consulted be-
fore any important move is made. y
few days ago his old friend, Circuit
~ ut@t JbflH w w al l III loj, iiolHlIidLNA
to the federal bench not a long time
ago, tarried at Beverly for luncheon.
Federal Judges are not expected to dab
BILE in politics but if the two exchanged
some views about the situation in Buck
evedom. as they sat at luncheon, no one
will be any the wiser about it,
May Reform Tennessee.
Next to Ohio, the President is prob
ably giving closest attention, as re
CARDS individual States, to Tennessee.
There is actually fair chance for Ten
nessee to elect Republican governor
in this year Of grace. The President
is iussifying his efforts to that end on
the ground that it is a good govern
ment issue The Republicans and in
dependent Democrats recently elected

some two years ago. Governor Patter-
son and the Coopers were identified
with a Democratic faction, opposed 10
the Carmack fraction. It was charged
that Governor Patterson attempted to
intimidate the State judges and threat

they were adverse to the Coopers. The

The President invited the Tennessee
