Columbus, Ohio. Aug. Like the
bachelor girl in the old story, who
sought divine help to secure hus-

Today the suggestion is heard on
all sides that eventually some inoffen-

and forced to put up a forfeit against

Hear Colonel May Recede.
A rumor fioated into the city that
the colonel may recede from his po-

in Ohio and be content in this state
to run as an Independent republican,.
with only a string of electors at

his second fiddle man, it is known
that Roosevelt republicans, hungry
for part Of the state patronage the
democrats are now enjoying and ex-
pect to continue to feast on, are urg-
ing the colonel to relent in his third
party demands
This plan would be pleasing to all
save minority of the Roosevelt fol-
lowers, and would revive the plan to
form an alliance of Taft and Roose-
the weakness appearsw hen it is re-
called that this very thing was at
tempted with Judge Dillon as the can

Anderson Eliminates Himself.
From Youngstown, D. e. Anderson

Mentioned because it was thought
he might hold the old soldier vote
and get lot of liberal support, Gen.
r. B. Brown of GAINESVILLE. nominee
for lieutenant governor, took himself
from discussion as an aspirant
If there is truth in the story that
Taft men expect to take charge By
virtue of the eleven or twelve votes
they are supposed to have in the state
central committee and name an out
and-out Taft man, there are several
names that will be considered with
care before they are dismissed.
A name heard on many tongues
was Harry M. Daugherty Of this city.
Another was that Of former Secre-
tary of State Daniel ]. Ryan. Howard
d. Warrington, also Of this city, was
named and so was James w. Half
hill Of Lima. member Of the consti-
tutional convention.
All save Warrington have been ar
Sdent Taft men, and could fight the
light out on the Taft line as good as
anybody. The Taft program clearly
was to postpone action at the meet
ing Of the committee Wednesday.

The chairman usually has a plan
figured out long before it is to be ex-
ecuted. and Wednesdays meeting is
expected to be no exception. He will
know more after he has talked with
Judge Dillon. One thing Brown will
hardy overlook. He will make all
the trouble he can for Taft, and the
best way to do this the Toiedoan
knows.
Hope Of getting Judge Dillon to re-
consider almost vanished after the
J0oge's reamfm0tion hAd been heard.
He has been kicked around all that

finality. He 10 expected here tomor-

with Walter Brown.
The belief here IL that he has OK.

to explain.
