g8s on the second ballot, and the
Loneworth vote Increased from ninety
two to 1s4. Nearly all the progress
aivcs'' were voting for Harding. The
ninoty.six Clevelanders, who all voted
for Longworth on the second and third
roll calls. were yelling wildly for the
Cincinnati man. On the third ballot
by the time the vote had reached liam
iiton county the Longworth candidacy
was advancing in great strides.
Chairman Cox surrendered at discre-
ton, He arose and cast the ninety-one
Hamilton county votes for HARDING.
All but 120 of the Brown supporters,
part of which had voted before Hanl-
ton county was reached, went to Hard
ing, and the nomination was made BY
the good margin of 551 votes over the
nearest competitor. the Cincinnati Con-
gresham, who did not want to run for
Governor.

Harding. the nominee for Governor,
is conservative, and was identified
with Foraker for years At one time
he split with Foraker. but afterward
made 1t up He is a splendid cam
paigner and a fine talker, He will not
be opposed by the Anti Saloon League,
and at the same time will not be

record which would lay hiA liable to
being charged with being Hhder COR

His nomination is distinct victory
for the Foraker faction, and in way
is rehabilitation of the Foraker ele-

It also means reuniting the Foraker
and Cox factions in Cincinnati. and
will work for Republican harmony in
Hamilton county.
Summing 1t Up.
After the smoke Of battle clears
away IT will find the administration
we'll pleased with the situation. Hard
ing was not the Presidents choice,
but he was not regarded as objections
able. The administration gets Its In
dorsement in most satisfactory terms:
administers blow at GARFIELD and the
progressives. and the only fly in the
ointment is that the organization may
drift to the reactionary wing of the
party
Cox remains in a position of van
tage.
Senator Burton is not damaged b,
the events of the day.
Senator Dick gets less than any one
since Harding. If elected Governor
would use his power against Dick
re-election to the Senate II possible
Garfield will remain the idol of TIL
progressives, who don't get anythini
hut a chance to decide between sup
porting Harmon and Harding
