OHIO NON-PARTISAN
JUDICIARY STATUTE
HELD TO BE VALID

COLUMBUS, OHIO, oct. BY a
vote Of 3 to 2, the non partisan judi
ciary law was held constitutional by
the Ohio supreme court this morning.
Judges Donahue Johnson and
O'Hara, Democrats, voted to uphold
the law, while the two Republican
members. Judges Schauck and Davis,
opposed it. Judge Speer, Republican,
being directly interested in the decision
because he is a candidate for re-elec-
ton, did not sit. Had he been allowed
TO sit the supreme court would I'M
doubtedly have been deadlocked.
There were two cases before the
court to test the constiutionality of
the law and the court decided both of
them In the case of Morris Vein
berger, of Cleveland, who sought to
mandamus the Cuyahoga board Of cleo
tons to print the names Of judicial
emblems, the supreme court affirmed
the judgment Of the lower courts, who
had refused to issue the writ of man
damus to Weinberger
The other case, that of Irwin d. Fri
taCh, of Akron, candidate for Judge,
for a similar writ of mandamus, the
supreme court refused to issue it.
The decision today settled all ques-
tons as to the nom partisan judiciary
law and in the coming election the
names Of all judicial candidates, in
Guiding justice Of the peace, must ap
pear on non partisan ballot, without
any partisan designations

TAFT FORCES ISSUE DENIAL

Chicago, June l6--Another day or
conference, caucuses and counting OF
delegates brought no solution to the
presidential taugle, confronting the
Republican convention, tonight.
During the day the city rang with
rumors that break had come and
that stampede Of southern dele
gates to Col. Roosevelt had begun.
The Roosevelt headquarters made
public letters bearing the names of
five delegates from Georgia and
five from Mississippi, heretofore
. counted in the Taft column, declar-
ing themselves for Roosevelt, as the
only hope of the party,
Earlier in the day Timothy Wood
ruff 'of New York had announced
that he had given Col. Roosevelt as
surance of his support. These state
ments for a time threw the Taft
headquarters into something resemb-
ling panic.
Members of the Georgia and Miss
issippi delegations were hastily sum
m0ned and it was return of COM
posure when it was learned that
four OF the five Georgia delegates,
who supposedly had signed a letter to
Roosevelt, had not yet reached the
city Later the Taft headquarters
claimed to have kilograms from
these delegates denying they had
deserted the President.
