this city the first week after the,

The two independent democratic
candidates. for Congress in this the,
twelfth Ohio district. referred to in.
this correspondence before as immi-@
nent, were completed and perfected
last week. The new candidates ares
w. F. Krafts. mechanic. and Clarke
Doughty. Doughty is a politician ofS
long experience. and under the adj
ministration of Gov. Frank B. Willis
was appointed a member of the state
liquor commission. remaining in that
position until state prohibition abol-G
ished it. Doughty has not for somes
years affiliated with the regular dem-s
ocratic organization, and from that's
source there are now coming charges
that his candidacy originates with ex-s
Gov Willis and has for its objectd
the defeat of the regular democratic
candidate for Congress-Arthur p.
Lamneck. However this may be. it is
a matter of record that when Doughty
ran for the democratic nomination
for Congress against Representative,
Brumbaugh two years ago he re-
ceived far more votes than the Or,
ganization democrats believed he
could get. and they were uneasy as
to what the fact forbode for the elec-sy
ton. but labor went nearly solid for
Mr.. Brumbaugh and he was reelected
handsomely. =
The senatorxhip Race.
The narrow escape from defeat Of
their candidate for United States SEM
ator in the primary-W. A. Julian off
Cincinnati-has impressed it upon the
democratic campaign management
that he must be better Acquainted
with the people of the state before
election day if he wishes to stand g
any chance for election over ex-Gov.
Willis, and the speakers bureau ofy
their campaign is working the candi-
date hard. For the next two weeks
he will have speaking assignment
every day. and some days he will be
assigned to make two speeches. Mr.. .
Willis has not taken up active cam =
paign work here yet. but is due to-
begin next week. Until just now he
has been busy with his lecture work
on Chautauqua circuits. which has q
been his chief employment since re-5
firing from the governors office. -
The general notion here is thatTs
Willis will be elected. 1t is true that q
there was formerly considerable
faction of his party opposed to him, =
but that and the cause of 1t have 4
largely disappeared. and with the in-s>
tense feeling now manifested in the
national issues. is not likely to have
much effect in the coming election. =
The effect of the Labor day address
of Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation Of Labor. here :
last Monday. in which he openly
urged workingmen. and especially or
ganized labor. to support Gov. Cox. p
and directly charged that Senator :
Harding was reactionary on all ex--,
listing legislation favorable to labor.
has naturally been to, increase the /,
sentiment, already strong here, against !
the senator. among the labor voters.
Still, not all the labor element here
will stand against Senator Harding
by any means =
It is a sword that cuts two wayA
and in this state there is q coneid-,

administration organised labor has !.
been permitted to take the, bit In it, !,
teeth and run away with the country. .
Many of these are democf4tS who
