Petitions Are Out.
Petitions for the nominations OF
Arthur l.. Garford Of Elyria for sena-
tor and J. r. Garfield OF Mentor for
governor on the Progressive ticket
were placed in circulation today.
There was some delay about the
printing OF the petitions and State
Chairman Brown made IL his busi-
ness TO come to Columbus Saturday
to look into the question. II had
been thought there would be no op-
position to either Garford OF Garfield,
who were picked as the Bull Moose
down East. Now, however. there is
rumor that Tax Assessor FacKler
OF Cleveland a Bull Mooser appoint
ed at the behest Of Chairman Brown
IN return for Browns keeping the Re-
publicans and Progressives divided,
will come out against Garfield: II Is
generally admitted that Garfield Is a
weak candidate and no one places
much faith in him since his fiasco in
the Republican state convention IN
this city several years ago, where.
after he had declared he was going to
route the bosses and had won to his
side many Independent Republicans.
he got cold feet and deserted the
convention on the eve OF the battle.
Then there IL John L. Sullivan OF
East Liverpool, once state printer
and once nominated for secretary OF
state by the Republicans Sullivan
feels lost unless he Is running for
some ONCE. However, no one takes
him very seriously. Il IL said he will
seek the Bull Moose nomination for
governor too. but this probably is all
tafk.
