Harmon's Enemies Score
Point i'm Ohio Fight

Enemies of iovernor Judson Harmon
in Ohio believe the passage of the Ed
wards bill by the legislature of that
State will afford them a weapon against
him. They think that with 1t they can
make him come to terms or refuse to
give him a solid Democratic delegation
in 1912.
The Ohio faction known as the Bar
-Hanley- y-Finley-O'Dwyer crowd has
succeeded, through the Edwards bill, in
abolishing State boards of review, and
in providing for appointment of deputy
State tax collectors in each county.
Through this increased county patron
age, the opposition thinks the governor
can be brought to terms. Otherwise, he
will be confronted with the danger of a
hostile delegation.
