Present Administration Is Not
an Issue in Primary Being
Held in Ohio Today,
KNIGHT IS REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE FOR GOV.
Withdrawal of Soldier Bonus
Amendment Lessons Interest
in Ohio's Election
(By United PYess)

Columbus, Ohio, August 8.-Poli-
tics, the stuff Ohio lives on, dubbed
in the states political caldron today
as balloting in the primary election
got under way.
Congressman Charles L. Knight,
Republican candidate for nomination
for governor, comes nearest to being
the type of progressive that has
caused adherents of the old guard so
much trouble in other states, but
even Knight cannot be classed as ul-
tra-progressive.
AS voters went to the polls virtual
ly all indications that the primary
election will be a referendum on
President Harding's administration
had disappeared. Although both Col.
Carmi A. Thompson, also Repub.,
lican candidate for gubernatorial
nomination, and Knight are strong
supporters of the president, neither
is meeting opposition on that stand.
If the referendum, which doomed
as a certainty early in the campaigns,
materializes at all, it will be in the
races for Ohio's twenty-five seats in
the house of representatives. All
except two of the present Ohio dele
cation in the house are candidates
for denomination, and several have
been persistent opponents saof@.the
Harding administration.
This element in the election, how
ever, will not be Of enough signifi-
canoe to constitute a referendum.
Congressman Simeon D. Fess, said
to be the strongest Republican can
