Columbus, o., Jan. 21-It may be
worth while to keep an eye on Repub-
lican State Chairman Edwin A. Jones'
With all the other senatorial candl-
dates holding aloof from endorsement
OF Governor Willis, and with Cleve-
land man and friend of Herrick now
building fences for the Republican
nomination for governor, while Daugh-
erty openly regrets the fate that will
put him on the same ballot with viii
lis II both win nominations, it looks
like Jones might be playing a long
shot. All this is interesting In view
of the fact that Jones blames Daugh-
erty for trying to shelve him. Now
Jones has issued plain statement
saying that the Republican party must
stand by Willis and that to nominate
any other would be a confession of
fault and poor politics. Observers
note that while Jones has not of late
had much to say he has goodly pile
of sawdust where he stands. II may
ambitionists TO keep their eye on
Jones
Having continued Mrs. Maude Muir
ray Miller as member of the Ohio
board of censors since last September,
Governor Willis has now refused to
approve her appointment, because she
did not vote on the rejection of
iilm as the governor dictated on the
order of colored Republican politi'
clan of Cleveland.

Republicans called on George w.

to make an investigation. This COM
mission ordered medical investlga-
tion which disclosed that the said
'Bope was ncapacitated and that he
had been taking much too freely OF
some dlstillate unknown, but which
the subject described as cough syr-
up" Bope failed to name the brand,
but IL Is presumed that II may nave
been a portion of what was left of the
seven-eights Of bottle OF Green Riy-
er, the cooking bourbon" preserved
by Newton M Miller at San Francisco
and brought back with some OF the
sother furniture.
Inspector Bope is the man referred
TO by Former Governor Cox as the
flute player appointed to inspect
workshops, who within three weeks
after his appointment was ordered

es of drunkenness and then ordered
