the interest Of Congressman Frank B.
Willis, the Republican nominee, was
made public by Attorney General Tim
othy S. Hogan, nominee for United
States senator; Lieutenant Governor
William Greenlund, renominated, and
Joseph McGhee, nominee for attorney
general
Coupled with the refusal to accept
the rendered assistance are stern re-
Dukes 10 the politicians composing the
league and the leveling OF hostile a.
tacks upon Harvey C. CARRIER, he
seems to be accepted as the directing
genius of the organization.
Asked to Come Into open.
1t was announced that the candi

the support of the league, which
was offered In an official state
ment put ont by former Public Printer
E. A. Crawford of West Union, who

That no credence was placed in the
Crawford declaration of friendship Is
made very clear, the Democratic lead
ers asserting that there IS ample evi
dence that the leagues compact with
the Republican state committee is fol
the whole ticket
Said to Have Aided Harding.
| From Republican sources, they say
there is plenty of proof that CARRIER
in addition to supporting Willis in tht
Republican primary as against Davit
Tod, also aided the senatorial canh
dacy Of Warren G. Harding, whom h
supported for governor In 1910 agains

Whitacre movement, Attorney Gen
eral Hogan said:
II want II distinctly understood il
the beginning that I do not wish the
support Of pretended organization
Of so called Democrats who are fight
ing any OF the nominees of the part,
selected at the state primary. We al
welcome individual votes from an,
source coming from proper motives
without regard to the party to which
the voter may belong, but | am moi
that kind of Democrat who will accept
the support of any organization oi
men who are banded together for pur
poses Of their own, intending to sup
port Mr.. Willis in the hope of secur

"Best In Union"
"Mr. CARRIER may as we'll get ready
to support the whole Republican tick

not want a vote from any man who
has been traitor to the cause OF De

first Inauguration Of Governor Har
mon. want the active support 81
every good citizen regardless of poll
tics who believes, as I believe, thai
the administrations of Governors Har
mon and Cox have made this the bes
governed state in the Union.
| 1.-THE members of the so callet
True or Glue Democracy, or what
ever better describes 1t, may as vel
make up their minds that their fght
is with every nominee on the Demo

ernor. With me the cause is first anf
am second" t
Speaking at Akron, Lieutenant Gov
ernor Greenhlnd declared that the
Democrats do not want the support o
any faction which is trying to use the
hatchet on Governor Cox. The secon(
man ON the state ticket expressed tht
belief that other state and county
candidates would be prompt to give
expression to similar views.

Lieutenant Governor Greenlund, i
they wish to make Governor Cox tht
ISSUE, they are perfectly welcome.

that can not support the governor.
The lieutenant governor said in hi
opinion the regular Democrats OF tht
state could not be guided or persuad
ed by any sugar-coated promises.
Assistant Attorney General JOSEPH
McGhee had this to say:
