it was thought that the date would be

1t will be remembered that the
purpose of this extra number is to
raise the deficit that has been facing
the committee. At the last number
of the regular course, enough pledges
were taken for this number, so If they
are all redeemed the season will
nearly be cleared. 1t is hoped that
extra tickets will be sold, so that the

make arrangements for the next sea-

THE FIGHT ON TYLER

The fight of Gov. Willis and his po-
litical machine on Ralph Tyler, a col
ored man, has reached the tragic
stage.
Four candidates for delegateat-
large to the Republican national con-
vention from Ohio, Willis, Harding,
Sullivan and Proctor, we're handpick-
ed. Moreover, they we're picked by
Gov. Willis, no legal body or organiza-
ton naming them. No public meeting
of party representatives named them.
Thus Gov. Willis became self-nomi.
mated. There was vigorous protest
raised in some quarters by Repubii-
cans over the procedure with the re-
suit that three other nominations
we're made-Glaser, Griffin and Tyler.
The last named Is Ralph Tyler, a
'colored man, of Columbus, who was
considered big enough to be appoint
ed by the last Republican national ad,
ministration to an important office at
Washington.
Tyler has been the target of Gov
Willis and his machine for daring Ia
become candidate for deegate-at
large to the Republican convention
The Willis personal organs have been
especially rough on Tyler.
Tyler has always been regular
and has been intrusted with much i'm
portant work for his party.
