Three Mentioned
For Secrest's
Spot On Ticket

The unexpected resignation of
Rep. Robert T. Secrest from con-
gress Saturday had Ohio political
circles engulfed in speculation
this week over the probable eff
feet on the congressional race in
the fifteenth district.
While Republican circles were
plainly jubilant, claiming their
chances of victory for the first
time in II years had been great
ly improved. Democratic political
leaders searched about for the
most likely candidate to represent
their party in the November cleo
ton.
The name most often heard
was that of Clarence A. Graham,
GAINESVILLE attorney and Demo-
cratic central committeeman from
that district.
But there was also support for
Charles S. Leasure, former Mus
kingum county prosecutor, and
Charles Fogle, veteran Marietta
Democrat who has a considerable
following in the district.
1t will be up to the county CEN
tral committeeman of the six
counties comprising the district
to name a candidate, inasmuch as
it is too late to withdraw Sc
crest's name from the Aug. II
primary ballot.
