RI FE'S COLUMBUS LETTER
Will BE Re-NOminated

Unless something happens which
isn't counted upon at the presen,
time there will be little need of
primaries for the nomination of
those candidates whose names will
be printed on the Republican state
ticket in November The ticket is
virtually made up now, with and by
the consent of party leaders. Gov
ernor Cooper will of course head the
ticket with Senator Mccullough of
Canton, candidate for election.
State Treasurer AXE, also a resident
of Canton, will ask a full term,
while Attorney General Bettman
likes his work so well that another
term will be asked. Clarence Brown
wants a third term as secretary Of
state, SO there you are with the en-
tire Republican ticket to be voted
upon next fall. AS regards the Dem
ocratic state ticket things are just
the opposite. There isn't sure"
nomination, although several have
indicated that they would ask nom
nations at the hands of party vot-
ers. It's going to be fine year for
whether or not the tradition of Ohio
voters will be followed this year to
the extent that they seldom re-elect
a Republican governor for second
term. Harry l.. Davis tried it and so
did the late Frank B. Willis, but
both we're defeated. History may
repeat itself.

prisoners, see them at work, and
inspect their lodgings Receipts
from this one source amounted to
s9,512, which has been turned into
the general revenue fund of the
state treasury and will be used in
paying bills of the state. A neat
sum was also received from those
who paid SO cents each to see the
