Special Dispatch to The Star.
COLUMBUS, OHIO. July Advance
ment of the legislative special ses-
sion date from July II to July has
helped the candidacy of Senator Ar
thur Day for the republican nomina-
tion for governor.
Senator Day is the author of the
bonus act and a world war service
man. He must look for his support
largely to the ranks of war veterans,
and the change in the date of the
legislature Will make ii very sure
that the service men will turn out
at the primary election in August.
For the purpose of the change is to
make it possible that the people may
vote on the further amendment of the
constitution necessary to issue the
additional $1o.O00,o00 in state bonds
to complete the payment of all ap-
proved applications for the bonus
the SIS. 1000, 900 previously issued not
being sufficient-at the primary cleo
tion, instead Of the regular election
in November. which would have caused
the unpaid applications to be de-
layed three months.
Administration Praised.
In his proclamation calling the spe-
cial session, Gov. Davis has taken
occasion to praise the reorganized
state administration, the act author
!zing which caused no little factional
troubles for the party a year ago
his appointments coming to the SEN
ate in the special session for con-
that stubborn republican opposition
to the reorganization measure de-
veloped last year. and il Is feared by
some of the republican leaders here
that the governors reference to the
matter in his message will act as a
and draw opposition from them when
the appointments are considered.
AS Representative c. L. Knight, the
pronounced sRti-administration can
dfdate for the nomination for gov
ernor. gets into the swing of hifs
campaign. there is more and more
discussion as to how much of the
progressive republican element is 60
ing to rally around his banner. Some
predict that his vote will be In line
with that for Beveridge. Pinchot,
Frazier and other progressives in
other states. but the prevailing opln-
ion is that knight has not the neces-
any such following. The Akron con-
gressman is concentrating his fire
now on Col Carmi A. Thompson.
Family on Pay RsH.
Newspapers have reprinted dis
patches showing Representative Fess
to have relatives on federal pay rolls
sufficient to raise the total drawn by
the family to approximately $4,000
a year. but his opposition for nomi-
nation for the Senate is so weak that
this is not likely to, have much etfect.
He says ne feels that he can ignore
his opposition. and Senator Pomerene
is known to feel the same way in
regard to the candidacy of John J.
Lentz Mrs. Arnold Green OF Cleve-
land, who early in the year announced
her intention of being a candidate for
the democratic nomination to sue
ceedE Senator Pomerene, has instead
come out as an Independent canai-
date for nomination for that ofice,
which is likely to help Senator
Pomerene rather than cut from his
support, for there has been some op-
position to him from suffrage quar-
tiers because of his alleged opposition
to woman's suffrage.
Thomas ]. Duffy one of the candi-
dates for the democratic nomination
for governor, indicates that pressure
Is being brought to bear on him to
retire Evidently this il from the
anti Donahey forces. He says he Will
nght to the close OF the primary polls
He probably will cut into the sup
port Of Judge Johnson in Cincinnati,
Toledo. Cleveland and Youngstown to
such an extent as to put former State
Auditor Donahey well in the lead.
