Does Not Wholly Relieve Situation.
The letter from President Wilson to
Secretary of State Hildebrandt OF
Ohio does not wholly relieve the Ohio
Democrats of the embarrassment re-
garding the selection of national dele
gates under the new Ohio presidential
preference act. 1t dispOses OF the
question as to the candidate for presi-
dent, but there is still the vice presl-
Dental Office to be considered. TO
support whom for this office shall the
delegates to the national convention
from Ohio be pledged? Vice PresS
dent Marshall has signified elsewhere
that he will be a candidate for re-elec'
ton but there is no certainty that he
will be nominated. So that as the
matter stands it looks as though the
dummy" plan would have to be
adopted after all for the second place
on the ticket
Must Live Up to Standard.
Under action taken by the board oi
state charities a number of Children's
homes in various parts of the state
will lose their right to receive ant
care for children unless they haster
to come up to standards for their op
Grafton fixed by the board. The board
is preparing list of institutions
which have fallen under the band ant
will shortly make them known. One
of the requirements of the board Il
that each institution must keep undel
close supervision for certain periot
all children that are placed out in pri
vate homes. There has been mucl
laxity in this respect which the boart
insists must be remedied.

The Democratic and Republican stat
central committees at their recen
meetings took steps to divide cou1
ties into districts for the selection
delegates and alternates, instead {
having them chosen from at large
the counties.
