COLUMBUS, Ohlo, May 27.—The at- titude of Gov. Davis toward the re- ~ publican nomination for' governor 1§ causing the leaders of that party real worry mnow. Months ago the sovernor indicated that he did mot wish a second term. It was surmised that he intended to try for the nomi- nation, of his party for the Senate to succeed Senator Pomerene, but two months ago he definitely announced that he would retire from politics. s This was a signal for republicans ambitious to be governor to enter a contest for the nomination,and Carmi A. Thompson, R. R. Beetham, Arthur (| Day and Harvey C. Smith promptly announced themselves as candidates. Recently friénds of the governor in- dicatd that he was dissatisfied with what seemed to be a plan to repu- diate. his legislative reorganization state administration laws. Most women know that the lin- oleum that they get at this store wears unusually long and they usually atfribute this to the fact that we only * sell the very best kind of any- “thing—and we sell Arm- strong’s Linoleum. But it ismore than a case of good linoleum—it’s the care we use in getting the exact meas- ures and the extreme care we use in laying it. A good linoleum can be spoded by careless laying. willing legislature by the governor official influence. In order to have it take effect at once It was necessary to have the legislature in passing it declare it to be an emergency measure. Senator J. F. Burke took the matter to the supreme court, where the va- lidity of the emergency clause was sustained. The reerganization pro- ceeded immediately. The incident caused Intense feeling in the supreme court. The chief justice, C. T. Mar- shall, who voted against the valid- ity of the emergency, rendered a vigonous dissenting opinion. The | section of the court thus censured used its power to deprive the chief justice of .all his authority in the court not positively vested in him by constitution and law, and the situa- tion became the political talk of the state. A good linoleum like Armstrong’s is not much more in price than those roofing paper sub- titutes seen so much, and the wear is ten times ore. We will be very glad to measure for and give you an estimate —and we don’t charge a cent for this, either. Let us show you—rthis week. Gov. Davis Unsatisfied. Inquiry of Gov. Davis as to whether he intends to recall his withdrawal Ras brought no definite reply. He has only indicated that he is determined that his reorganization measure shall not be repudiated. So far only Col. Thompson of the candidates has ex- pressed himself on the reorganization law. He has said that with the gen- eral principles he is in sympathy, but thought it possible that the law could be wisely amended. This does not seem to have satisffed Gov. Davis. “] " It is pointed out that with the op- position to him sScattered, it might be possible for the governor to enter now and secure the nomination. ‘Whether Gov. Davis becomes a can- didate or not, he has it in his power to stir up trouble for his party, un- Jess his administration, reorganiza- tion and all, is unqualifiedly indorsed in the party platform, and the known opposition to that reorganization in the party is sufficient to indicate that that would be a deubtful policy. Democrats Back Davis® Plan. It is a singular fact that the demo- cratic organization of Cuyahoga coun- 1y, the head of which is former Sec- : retary of War N. D. Baker, is stand- ing for the state reorganization of Gov. Davis, and is likely to support 3 V. J. Donahey for the democratic nom- ination for governor, for the reason that his only opponent, T. J. Duffy, has in his announcement as a candi- date made opposition to the Davis state reorganizer the chief feature of his platform. Dr. Fess Favored. Though Walter F. Brown of Toledo still, says he is considering entering o |his name as an opponent of Dr. Fess for the republican nomination for the Senate, it is not generally believed here that he will. The nomination of Mr. Beveridge for senator in Indiana, and Gifford Pinchot for governor in Penn- sylvania, both former progressive leaders, does not necessarily indicate that Mr. Brown would run well, not withstanding the fact that he was at the head of the progressive organiza- tion in the state in 1912, for the fact of the matter is he was not generally regarded as progressive, but rather “that he joined the movement as an op- portunist. As between him and Dr. Fess the betting would favor Dr. Fess. It became known here this week that Senator Pomerene is looking for a new state chairman for his party to take the place held by W. W. Durbin of Kenton. who has held it for four years. Recently it was stated that prohably David W. Rockwell of Kent would be made the democratic cam- patsn chairman, but apparently he is also mot satisfactory to Senator Pome- rene. It is likely that in any event Arthur P. Black, the senator's secre- tary, will have a desk in the state campaign headquarters to look after the senator's interests. —_———— One woman, Mrs. Mary W. Aldridge of Alabama, merely smiles when men- tion is made of “swat the fly.” Mrs. Aldridge some time ago was a guest of a hotel in Montgomery. Another guest became disturbed by flies and began chasing them. He “swatted” one with a towel which dislocated a creen in a window. The screen hit skylight_and the skylight hit Mrs. Aldridge. Now she is $2,500 richer by award of the court for injuries suf- feted by her dignity and anatomy.

Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, May 27.—Inability of democratic leaders to center upon one of sundry senatorial candidates is be- ginning to cause concern among party men. 4 The primaries are more than three months away. Out of the discussion there has apparently not emerged ‘one siasm. The democrats have two candidates who are reported making hay while their suns shine. Former Represent- ative David J. Lewls and State Sen- ator William I Norris entered tQe fray without assurance of organized backing. Stephen W. Gambrill of Howard county, democratic floor leader at the last session of the house of delegates, is being prominently mentioned in po- litical circles as a possible compro- mise candidate, behind whom both the city and county‘democracy would line up. . With the possible exception of former Senator John Walter Smith or Gov. Ritchie, he would undoubtedly make the strongest candidate that the party could bring up. His fight against the enactment of the Anti- Saloon League's enforcement act at the last session of the legislature magde him solid with the city democ- racy, and in addition he would un- doubtedly poll thousands of votes of “wet” republicans. Said to Be Receptive, Although Mr. Gambrill has made no announcement of his intentions as far as the senatorial nomination is concerned, his friends claim that he is receptive. It is rumored by Mr. Gambrill's friends that Senator No¥ris would step aside and give him a clear fleld In the primaPy against “Davy” Lewis.

Something of a sensation was created here this week by the attack made by George W. Crabbe, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of Maryland, on Gov. Ritchie, Representative John rhilip Hill, J.

After ‘ac- cusing all of being in_league with the “wet” Interests, Supt. Crabbe stated that Gov. Ritchle “will be a menace to the morals of the state of Maryland.” Gov. Ritchle re- fused to comment on the statement. ’ BODY FOUND IN CULVERT; TWO HELD FOR MURDER Special Dispatch to The Star, CUMBENLAND, Md., May 27.—The funeral of Edward McCormick, twen- ty-eight, of near Hancock, was held from the home of his mother at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, followed by services at St. Peter's Catholic Church, Hancock. = The body of Me- Cormick was found in a culvert under the Baltimore and Ohlo railroad tracks at Green Spring Tuesday night.
