Ex-Representative Ralph Cole OF Ohio
may be the republican nominee for gov
ernor there to replace Judge f. B. Dillon,
who has declined the nomination. Mr.
Cole. who was prominent in the fight for
Taft delegates in Ohio. is now the legal
adviser to the controller of the currency
in the Treasury Department, having en-
tered upon his duties some days ago
There is no definite decision. however.
as to who will be named as the republic
an candidate, Mr.. Cole being mentioned
among those whose availability is being
considered by the republican leaders Of
the state. Others talked OF are Harry
Daugherty OF Columbus. Gen. r. b.
Brown of Toledo. the nominee for lieu
tenant governor. Harry Langdon. Repre-
sentative Paul Rowland of Cleveland and
B. H. kroger of Cincinnati
The republican state central committee
will meet tomorrow to take up the ques-
ton of naming a head of the republican
ticket The members of the committee
are expected to have their hands SO fuli
that none of them will be able to come on
to Washington to accept the invitatlon
sent them to be present at the notincd-
Despite the Presidents determination to
take no part in the naming of candi-
date. Ohio republican leaders continue TO
send him messages and to keep in touch
with Secretary Thompson, who knows as
much of Ohio politics as any other man.
No Nomination Tomorrow.
The information from Columbus is that
the state central committee will make no
nd
postpone final action for some days so as
to give everybody time to make suSges-
tions that may prove valuable.
state convention will be called together
again. The belief prevails that this could
not legally be done. A primary would
be out of the question and the state
committee must take the responsibility
imposed upon il of filling vacancies. The
committee, which is mighty close as be-
tween the Taft and Roosevelt factions.
but is controlled by one vote by the TAFT
people, desires TO pick man, IL pos
sible who will harmonic the factions.
The difficulty of doing that is apparent
to all, with a resultant confusion that is
a warning against a hasty selection Tor
governor. Most Of the men whose names
have been mentioned have notified friends
that they must not be considered. If Mr..
Cole is finally determined upon. as seems
possible at this time. he would give up
a position paying him 5000 a year to
lead what many claim to be forlorn
fight.
Will Fight for Representatives.
Representative J. Hampton Moore
may resign his position as secretary of
the republican congressional commit
tee to take charge Of fight for repub-
lican representatives in Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Moore. who called at the White
House today, said that an important
meeting Of republican representatives
in the House and nominees for Con-
gress from Pennsylvania would be held
this afternoon, at which an organiza-
tion would be formed. to be known as
the PENNSYLVANIA congressional cam
paign committee. This committee will
devote its whole time to the work Of
trying to pull through in November
next a s many republican representatives
as possible. No matter what auarrels
may follow between the Taft and
Roosevelt people or how many candi-
dates are in the field. the committee
will bend every effort TO returning
representatives who will stand on the
tariff question for protection 10 the in
dustries and workingmen of the state.
1t was understood today that the senti-
ment in the Pennsylvania delegation in
Washington was almost unanimous IN
favor of forcing Mr.. Moore TO leave the
CONGRESSIONAL
take charge of the Pennsylvania task.
Mr. Moore would not today discuss the
difficulties between the factions in Penn
sylvania on the electoral ticket. which
promise to make so much trouble. but
said that there might be developments
that would leave only one ticket in the
field At any rate, il was hoped that
things would adjust themselves. so that
all Pennsylvania republicans may devote
themselves to the one proposition OF pre-
xxrs.a {y,op
majority of the congressional delega ton
in November.
Mr.. Moore who is the head of the At
lantic Deeper Waterways Association.
called at the White House with Repre-
sentatives Small. Weeks, Roberts. Reilly,
Utter and Linthicum to invite the Presi-
dent to attend the annual meeting of the
association at New London. Conn.,. Sep
tember 5 and g. The President said that
he would be in Washington September 4.
and that IL he could reach New London
on his yacht Mayfower in time he would
accept the invitation.
Judge De Lacy's Successor.
There are good reasons for the state
ment that the nomination of a Juvenile
Court Judge for the District of Columbia
will not be settled for a number of
months. The President and Attorney
General Wickersham are so busy on other
matters that they have given no time to
the fight over Judge De Lacy's successor.
They do not think it likely that they will
be able to go over the papers for some
time The work of the court is going
right along. and II is not necessary that
there shall be immediate action.
James Arnold Lowell, a lawyer of New
ton, Mass, has a very good chance of
being named as federal district judge at
Boston, to fill the vacancy made by the
elevation to the circuit court Of Frederic
Dodge. The President has received such
favorable reports of Mr.. Lowell as TO be
impressed with his qualifications. He is
a son of the late Judge John Lowell of
the United States circuit court in New
England and cousin of Judge John
Lowell, who recently retired federal
district judge.
President Taft is to have dinner tonight
at the Patuxent Club. on the Patuxent
river, between Washington and Chesa-
peake bay. He is to be the guest Of Gen
Clarence Edwards.
President Congratulates Indian.
James Thorpe. the Carlisle Indian STU
dent who made such a great record in
the Olympic games at tSockholm. has
been congratulated by President Taft on
his record, in the following letter sent to
the young man:
