in ohio, the big question is who Is
10 he named for the g~oveInolship on
the republican side, the purpose being
TO get a nominee who is oil sufficient
proportions to defeat Governor judi
son Harmon. This situation relates
closely to the presidential contest
next time.
In Iowa the republican state con-
vention has before it the problem of
adopting a platform. The republican
gtate committee also will be organic
ed. The progfessives, as evidenced BY
the recent county conventions, viii be
in control Of the convention. Their
action viii be watched the country
over for the reason that II VIII ne

The New York situation is attract

country. 1t was thought by many II

organization leaders defeated the bill
and are now defiant of Roosevelt.
The question is how far he VIII
have the say in the nomination OF Ten
republican candidate for governor
and whether he will be no more sue
ccssful in getting the state eonven-
ton to follow his wishes in nominal
ing a go%vernorship candidate than he
was in respect to the primary.
For a time there was talk that
Roosevelt might throw his influence

comes william Barnes, Jr, boss OF
Albany county, and says Loeb cannot
have Albany county's support. This
notice of intent 10 fight Loeb is GER

fatal to them.
Barnes has come out for cohserNa-
ism and against radicalism IN the
convention and in the republican
PARTY in the state. He has ounde a
note that is nothing less than plain
defiance to Roosevelt, and II IS not
easy to see how Roosevelt can aVold

hard time shaping things to suit NM
