Special Dispatch to The Star.
COLUMBUS. Ohio. July 21.-So CON-
pletely has the animosity engendered In
the ranks of the Republican party In
Ohio during the presidential primary
campaign now disappeared that Repre-
sentative Burton, who, as the leader Of
the Hoover for President movement
drew the burden Of the attack upon
himself, was able to say as he started
out on his campaign for the nOrnina-
ton for the short Senatorial term this
week that all but one of the 30 anti
Hoover delegates elected to the Kansas
City convention were now supporting
him for the nomination to succeed
Senator Willis.
M. Burton spent the time after the
Kansas City convention and until last
week resting at Magnetic Springs. an
isolated resort about 80 miles northwesc.
of Columbus, and is said to enter his
campaign for the senatorial nomination
in excellent condition of health, IL
spite of his rs years. One of the
rumors placed in circulation hers i9Se
week, no doubt by his opposition, was
that his candidacy was really a blind
by which the way was to be opened fer
| Walter F. Brown to go the Senate.
Republican governor it is hoped to elect
November
Discord is Foreseen.
| But while new evidence comes TO
| prove that the presidential primary is
not to cause the Ohio Republicans any
| trouble in the general election this Fail.
| other sources OF discord are disclosed.
| A very discouraging situation for the
| Republicans has developed in Hamilton
! County tCincinnatD. For the informa-
/ ton of those not familiar with Repub-
| lican politics there, it should be stated
! that there are two Republican organi-
/ cations in that county. One, known as
| the Schneider organization after its
/ chief. now Fred SCHNEIDER. is the "old
| guard" descended from the days Of
/ George B. Cox and his successor, the
| late Rud. K. Hynicks A revolt against
| the methods Of the old organization
/ nearly five years ago, led by the Tafts
/ and known as a reform movement,
! secured the adoption of the city man
/ ager form Of municipal government.
which is wholly incompatible with the
/ boss system Of politics Col. c. O.
! Sheriff. of the Regular Army was ap-
| pointed city manager and is still the
/ executive officer.
| The two organizations are working II
| opposition in the State primaries cam
paign now in progress. The Schneider
/ organization is supporting Myers Y.
/ Cooper of Cincinatti. who was the
/ Republican candidate for governor two
/ years ago and defeated by the Republic
] cans OF his own county, who refused
/ to support him because he was dry.
/ The reform organization, whose organ
/ is the Tin1sS-Star. is supporting Repre-
/ sentative Begg. while very consider
| able element of the Republican party in
| the city is out-and-out for Attorney
/ General Edward c. Turner. because he
/ is fighting the Anti-Saloon League,
! never popular or strong in Hamilton
| County.
/ This might not be very menacing to
| the party but for the fact that the car
/ paign is attaining a degree of vicious
! ness seldom equaled and the candidates
/ are making charges against each other
which would seem to make it difficult
/ for any of them to come into line
/ should another of the number be nom
| mated One general effect of 1t all
/ is to emphasize the wet and dry issue
| of the national campaign. which IS
| sure to make il more difficult for Hoover
/ to carry the two congressional districts
| in Hamilton County. Gov. Smith will
| be quite sure to carry the county BY
| large majority.
