ers held here today at his call, indi.
Gated a militant spirit among th'
Ohio Republicans. Reservations wert
made for S,100 at the luncheon anc
many who came to attend the meet.
ing did not attend the luncheon.
In his address at the luncheon
Chairman Schorr outlined campaign
this Fall aimed at the weakness ol
the administration of Gov. White, the
increase Of State personnel service anc
the numerous legislative plans by
which party organizations have beer
built up by the Governor and the
Democratic Legislature. His speech
was fortified by references to execu-
tive and legislative actions on which
his charges were based. The only
reference Chairman Schorr made te
national affairs was a criticism ol
President Roosevelt for leading in "a
movement away from the Constitu-
ton and tried and true principles oi
government"
Only former United States Senator
Roscoe c. McCulloch and Justice A. S
Matthias of the State Supreme Court
criticized President Roosevelt's oppo-
sition to the payment Of the soldiers
bonus.
Leading Candidates Present.
BY the word professional" Chair
man Schorr meant that this confer
ence was as near to conference on
platform and candidates as a party
might come under the primary elec-
ton provision. But no attempt was
made to get an agreement on candi-

present, however, and at a conference
with the State and County Committee
members, previous to the luncheon

the States non-partisan judicia
elections, she has preferred to bt
nominated, as well as elected, indie
pendently.
Ohio is wondering whether it would
not be cheaper to transport out OF tht
State the 10000 non-residents wht
are in the State, drawn hither by
the rather liberal unemployment re-
lief offered, than to try to support
them either by direct charity or pub
lie works employment. Most of the
10000 are from Kentucky and Ten
nessee and from Mexico.
Plan Aid for Schools.
With the renewal of the study o1
the State taxation system by the spe-
cial session of the Legislature now ir
progress, the parochial school prob
lem is again presenting itself anc
the Schools Committee of the Senate
considering school support, has votec
to recommend that a portion Of the
funds arising from the public schoo
levy be given to support private
schools.
Leaders in the Legislature have
agreed to stand for some kind of ar
income tax in providing for new
sources Of revenue. They will also
stand for a sales tax, but the oppo.
sition to such tax is large and threat
