CONVENTION WILL
 BE HELD AT ARENA
Democrats Fix Date of Meeting
 Sept. 7 and 8 in New Haven
CHANCE PRIMARY DATES
Elm City Will be Busy Place That Week as Republican Convention Will be Held There on Septem. bere 6 and : at Theater,

New Haven. Aug. IS P-The democratic state convention will De held in this city on September : and S, on the evening of Friday and Saturday, in the Arena in State street.
 This definite time and place was announced today by Secretary A. $. Lynch of state committee and is a change in time from the tentative dates previously fixed which were for the second week of September.
 Change in Primaries
 The change in convention time re- luires a change in the date for statewide primaries and this is fixed for August A. This will mean that town chairmen must get their list of delegates to Secretary Lynch by August 2S.
 The state committee al its last meeting decided that delegate lists must be turned in promptly. There heretofore has been much trouble on this score.
 Republican Program
 AS the republican state conven- ton will be held in the Hyperion theater on September 6 and :. the situation is that the democratic gathering following on the very heels of the republican one. This is not unusual for several times a democratic convention has followed a republican one in the same hall with barely enough time between for the hall to be cleared of repub- lican literature and county standards before the democrats moved in for an evening session. However. this time the conventions will be in diff ferent places.
 Spirited Contests
 The two conventions falling in the same week, will mean that New Haven will be the political center of the state for days. Forecasts are that both conventions will be marked by spirited contests as can didates for places on the state ticket and for United States Senator are increa sing in number.
 A realignment in the republican state ticket has been forecast and althought governor Trumbull has gone to Maine on a vacation 10 return on the eve of the convention it may happen that he will find there are one or more aspirants for his place on the ticket. United States Senator Heram Bingham is not expected to return in time for the convention although he may land, under his present plars in time to see it in it's closing moments.
 May Choose Mclean
 Keynote speaker for the republican convention has not been announced but in some party quarters 1t is thought United States Senator Me- Lean may be expected to accept an invitation, if extended to him, which is quite possible.
 With the democrats meeting in the Arena it will be possible for use to be made of equipment there for publication of radio impulses or even telephone conversation which will fit in with the plans to have Gov. Smith send message to the convention delegates.

 Happiness.

Wausau, Wis.,, Aug. Is (CP)-Pres ident Coolidge told the Wisconsin state convention of the American Le- sion here today that the Kellogg anti-war treaty, about to be signed in Paris. is the greatest step toward international peace in the ten years since the World War.
 This agreement proposes revo- lutionary pollcy among nations," he said. Tt holds a greater hope for peaceful relations than was ever given before to the world. If those who are involved in it, having start ed it will finish it, its provision will prove one of the greatest blessings ever bestowed upon humanity. It is fitting consummation of the first decade of peace.'
 The president expressed the hope that enough nations might sign the war outlawry proposal to make a repetition of the world war impos- sible.

 He said:

OHIO VOTERS MAKE NEW PRIMARY MARK
Republicans and Democrats Cast
 More Than 850,000 Ballots
BIG WET AND DRY ISSUE
In Most Instances Republican Anti Saloon League Men Are Victor ious-vice Versa On Democratic Slate.

Columbus Ohio, Aug IS. R-
 Ohio voters broke all records for primary voting yesterday
 With approximately 1,50O prec- incts yet to report. the indicated total for the states S,655 precincts will be in excess of S5O,o00 or more than 100000 in excess of the 1924 primary vote which had held the record.
 Of this total, the republican vote is expected to exceed 625,o0o and the democratic to pass 225,000.
 Wet and Dry Issue
 Candidates supported by the Ohio Anti-Saloon League for state offices apparently were victorious in most instances on the republican ticket, while the democratic fight saw lea eague-endorsed candidates defeated for the majority of the posts.
 Cooper Takes Lead
 Myers Y. Cooper, Cincinnati, wrested the lead from Congressman James T. Begg of Sandusky, in the Republican gubernatorial contest at II o'clock today as additional pre- cincts reported. Begg had been in the lead for about two hours at one time showing his plurality up to more than 5000.

 Turner Poor Third
 Attorney General Edward c. Turner, who based his campaign for republican gubernatorial nomination on a scathing attack on the dry or ganization and certain utility inter- ests which he alleged had combined in efforts to control state legislation. was a poor third in the six-cornered race. His vote was Sl,37O.
 Congressman Martin l.. Davey ap- parcntly was the lone Anti-Saloon league candidate to emerge victor- ious on the democratic state ticket. He held an early plurality of 5000 over Peter Witt, who campaigned as wet. Former Lieut.. Gov. Earl D. Bloom, who also had the dry organ iLation's support, was a close third.
 The dry leagues selections for the remainder of the democratic state ticket were running far behind can- didateS who were not on its pre- ferred list.
 Burton Wins Easily
 Congressman Theodore F. Bur ton, Cleveland. had a runaway race for the republican short term nomi- nation for United States senator. Graham r. Hunt, Cincinnati, cam paigning as liberal. and Senator Cyrus Locher. Cleveland, were run ming a close race for the same nom- ination on the democratic slate. Hunt led by 3.400 votes. but the outcome was in doubt.
 Senator Locher. appointed by Governor Donahey to fill the unex- pired term of the late Senator Frank B. Willis, had declared he would rather be defeated as dry than elected as d wet" Hunt is an advocate of repeal of the Nolstead act.
 Charles V. Truax. state director of agriculture. was leading former Congressman George White, Mari etta, his closest opponent, for the democratic long term senatorial by 11,0o0 votes. Senator Simeon D. Fess, was unopposed for for the same post on the republican ticket.
