gle for Ohios six delegates t-large

tied itself to hearing the keynote
speech of United States Senator The
odore Es Burton Tonight, the COM
mittees elected at district meetings
before the convention are in session.
President Tafts show of strength
came in tine district meetings. He is
believed to have gained control of the
new state central committee by win
ming at least II votes of the II.
Roosevelt supporters declare. however,
that Walter Brown, campaign man
ager for the former President, will re-
tain his place as chairman of the
Central committee. The chief blow to
Roosevelt in the district meetings
came in the eighth district which by
"a vote of % TO 10 selected a complete
list of Taft committeeman.
Walter Brown as chairman in call
ing the meeting to order had the hrst
chance Representative government
is ON trial in Ohio, today he said
.sThe issue is whether this convention
shall represent the will of the people
or whether it shall misrepresent them.

years Led by The Cineinanti delega-
ton. the delegates broke into a cheer
