OHIO G. 0. P. LOOKING FOR
man TO PUT AGAINST HARMON
League Of Republican Clubs Of
Buckeye State Assemblies in
Dayton Today.
HARMONY IS The WATCHWORD

Dayton, o.. Feb. 12.-"Harmony'
was the watchword of the big gather
ing of republican leaders assembled
here today for the annual convention
of the Ohio League of Republican
clubs. 1t Is a dull day when politics
is not simmering at a lively rate In
Ohio. and today IL boiled away at n
livelier rate than usual. In response
to an urgent call to get together"
leaders Of the several factions of Ohio
republicans, together with a large
number of the rank and file. rallied in
enthusiasm seems more than likely TO
be realized as a result of the round
up.
Candidates for the governorship
were discussed, but only informally.
The main idea from now on win be to
get the strongest man available TO run
against Judson Harmon. the demo-
cratic incumbent, who is certain OF
denomination. The republican leaders
recognize the necessity of defeating
Harmon for another term as COVER
nor i'm order that he may not become
a formidable figure for the demo-
cratic presidential nomination In
1912. If he should be reelected, he
undoubtedly would be strong figure
at the next democratic presidential
convention. If defeated. he would
probably not be. The Ohio republican
leaders would not like to see the
presidential campaign with William
II. Taft of Ohio and JudSon Harmon
of Ohio leading the two tickets, es-
pecially If Harmon should be made
governor twice. So they are bent on
accomplishing his political downfall
in time.

and Harris finally secured his free
dom by paying the ransom after 4
headless body had been thrown into
his tent.
Two years later Raisuli seized Lon
