COLUMBUS, Ohio, August 19.-An
interesting item in Ohio politics this
week has been the intimation that
Judge E. N. Matthias Of the Ohio su-
preme Court may contest with Senator
s. D. Fess next year for the Republican
nomination for the United States
senatorship. Since Senator Fess gave
it as his opinion some weeks ago that
the prohibition amendment would be
voted out by the States, his former dry
supporters have indicated that they felt
grievance against him. Judge
Matthias was a Spanish War soldier
and has held high positions in the State
and national organizations Of the SOL
diers of that war.
Though Gen" J. s. Coxey, who was
defeated by the Republicans Of Mas
sillon, his home town, for the nomina-
ton for another term as mayor last
week, is 70 years old, he promptly an
nounced that he was not through with
politics, but would enter as a cand1-
date for the Republican nomination for
United States Senator next year.
Coxey has tried for this nomination on
Protest Beer Concessions.
Though the State Board Of Agricul-
ture had indicated that it would grant
no concessions to sell the g. beer, Mrs.
Viola D. Romans, the president OF the
Ohio w. G. T. U has filed with the
board a formal protest against such
concessions.
Though the newly created State Milk
Commission is not functioning fully
yet, it has probably saved the State
from milk strikes and riots such as
other States have suffered, for the
mission has set dates for hearings In
the several milk sheds into which it has
divided the State, with the intention of
declaring fair prices by the distributors
to the producers, and by the consumers
to the distributors. Pending this action
producers and distributors are under
truce It looks as though the dairymen
would be awarded about 81 per 100
pounds for their milk, and the distrib-
utors be authorized to charge about 10
cents a quart for their product.
The Ohio State University announces
a new course with the opening Of the

sity will add another year Of work te
the course leading to the degree q
I veterinary doctor-the extra year BE-
tory to taking up the technical work Of
the course, making the course one Of

After ordering all State department.
to conform to the 40-hour week of the
N l. R. A., Gov White discovered that
because Of lack of appropriations foa
the work the departments could not dc
this and take care of the work tina,
must be done. A modification Of the
order followed to the effect that the
heads Of the department are to come
as near to conforming as the funds IL
hand will permit.

Action by Mayor Henry Worley oi
Columbus has probably avoided immi.
nent danger of extensive rioting here
in the process Of evicting delinquen,
tenants. for the present. The mayor
has ordered rents to be paid out Of the
city relief funds while it lasts. There
is city league of unemployed whose
members gather about q house from
which an eviction is to be attempted
and forcibly prevent the baili1 from
acting. When the bailiffs have ap.
pealed to the chief Of police for assist
ance he has declined to do 30.
