Republicans Harding and Wood, and
one Democrat, Gov Cox, @fore time

James 4. Garfield is expected to
withdraw, his candidacy being only a
formality in order to give candidates for
Wood a chance to express their second
choice. The same is true Of James ID.
Campbell on the Democratic ticket.
Both Baird, on the Republican ticket,
