Columbus, O.-Under the present ad-
ministration of Chief Deputy Collery,
the Boiler Inspection Department
promises to turn a revenue into the
state treasury at the end of this fiscal
year, which will be the first time it has
done so in the history of the depart
ment. This, in itself, is not of great
interest, inasmuch as this office, prop
erly managed, should, under the pres
ent law, be one of the biggest revenue
producers. The fact, however, of Col
lery being able to put this department
on its feet in the short length of time
he has been in charge, and, at the
same time, being subjected to SANDER
Gus and abusive attacks of certain
newspapers and factions, shows that
he is deserving of great credit, and
proves that he is most highly qualified
for this position, and must be classi-
fed as one of the best appointments
of Gov. Willis. He is rapidly becom-
ing one of the highly-respected and
much-praised officials around the state
capitol.
Not Candidate for Vice Presidency.
All of this talk of Gov. Willis being
candidate for the vice presidency
and the stories being sent out from
the state capitol that he and his
friends are "single shotting'' and bick
ering for the colored vote is all Nbosh.'
| Gov. Willis is a candidate for re-elec
tion as governor of Ohio on his record
| of efficiency and economy. He is a can
didate for delegate-at-large to the Re
| publican national convention because
the people of Ohio and Ohio's can
didate for the presidency want him tC
go to the convention. Senator Burton
said in Columbus last week that he
wanted the Governor to go to the con
vention, and it has been the custom
of the Republican party in Ohio fol
fifty years to send the governor as E
delegate All other talk is mere polit
ical rot, hatched by the enemies of gooC
government and those who have no
been able to control patronage under
this administration. AS far as tht
colored vote is concerned, Gov. Willis
expects it and will receive it. Tht
governor has been friend of the race
in his every act since his politica
career began, and the leaders of tht
race know it. No end of slanderou
statements against him will make an!
difference at the polls April 25.
Forgetting that former Cows. Cox
Harmon, Campbell and Senator Pom
creme were selected in the same man
ner, the Democratic press bureau an
the two Columbus Democratic papers
controlled by Bob Wolfe and forme
Gov. Cox, are shouting to the gallerie
that the four candidates chosen by tn
Republicans are the result of slate
Ohio Republicans will win this yeal
and they want representative delege
tion at large, and that is the reaso,
that each county in its turn is endors
ing the candidates. of Gov. Willis, Ser
ator Harding, Col. William Coope
Proctor, and Hon. John J. Sullivan. I
these, Ohio Republicans will have
delegation which will make itself fel
