A special despatch from Springfield to-
day says
Friends Of " s Thomas have started
a genuine boom for him for United States
senator. They claim that he 10 not iden
tilted with any faction and that his selec-
ton As one OF Ohio's Big Four on three
occasions places him in favorable light
before the people. Thomas has twice
refused to make the race for Governor.
George W. Harris Of Cincinnati. tried
and true Bryanite. who was the party's
candidate for Senator in 1905. was to-day
asked whether he would again be a can
didate. now that the Democrats can elect
their man.
I am very highly gratified at the men
ton OF my name said MIR. Harris. and
certainly would not refuse it IL il were
rendered me. but from the point Of view
Of the best interests Of the party | think
the Senator should come from the central
or northern part OF the State. The Cuya-
hoga county delegation Is. ! understand.
pledged TO either Pomerene or whitlock.
and the Democratic candidates from
Lucas were also for whitlock. Either Of
those men would make a good Senator. |
In view Of the probability that our next
Presidential candidate will be from Gin |
cinnati and the fact that the Gov ernor 10

does not send a Democratic delegation

likely that any Cincinnati man will be

John Weld Peck q name was suggested
last spring after he was defeated A. a
candidate for Mayor OF Cincinnati. Mr.
Peck was chairman OF the county execu-
tive committee during the campaign
that has jusf brought the great victory.
Peck is quoted to-day a. saying
Il arm too busy with Law TO 60 into
politics. I am not a candidate for any
thing"
Nevertheless il 10 understood that his
friends in Cincinnati will work hard 10
get enough pledges from the new legis-
lafors 20 make Peck a formidable can
didate for the Senatorship.
Alice Pomerene. who has been elected
Lieutenant Governor on the Democratic
ticket. has. it 10 understood. long cherished
Senatorial aspirations. Hin position a.
strengthens his chances and local Demo-
Gratis who realize the improbability OF
Peck obtaining the prize. seem inclined
generally TO regard Pomerene as the most
likely man.
Brand whitlock. Mayor Of Toledo. has o
very large following among Democratic
Of the more radical stripe. a. well al among
independent Republicans. He has sew |

desire TO be- Senator. but could he per- |
