The big five railroad brotherhood chiefs this week urged friends of organized labor to vote for Pomer- ene's omly opponent, former Repre- sentative John J.

OHIO DEMOCRATS LEAN TO DONAHEY Special Dispatch to The Star. COLUMBLUS, Ohio. August 5. —Sen- timent among the democrats that V. J. Donahey, who was defeated for the governorship two years ago, really made an excellent run under: impossible circumstances and is en- titled to another chance when condl- tions are mere favorable, has been the chief asset of his candidacy from the beginning of the primary cam- paign. It is not true that the state organization of the party is support- ing the candidacy of Judge James G. Johnson. In fact, the chairman of the state committee, D. W. Durbin, is personally for ‘Mr. Donahey. But it is true that the county organization heads are very generally hostile to Donahey for the reason that ap- pointees of theirs often found their bills for traveling expenses cut by Donahey when he was state auditor. Outside the organization element of the party, however, the overwhelm- ing sentiment is in favor of Donahey. ‘The labor difficulties have no doubt brofight support to the candidacy of Thomas J. Duffy and it is likely that this will have the effect of making Judge Johnson, who was brought into the campaign mainly through the efforts of former Secretary of War Baker, to run in the lJast place in the primary election. Lents Sentiment Grows. The support of John J. Lentz for the nomination by the democrats for the United States Senate, which flared up suddenly three weeks ago after it had been generally looked upon as of incomsiderable consequence, has increased in energy as the close of the campaign came on, and it is now very evident that it will make a decided showing, though it hardly meems possible that Lentz can defeat Senator Pomerene. The sentator has pursued to the close his policy adopt- ed at the first of ignoring Lents. No notable member of the progrea- sive party in this state in 1912 is AN to I i in spite of the fact that he was a leader in that movement and has sought to present himself in the pri- mary campaign as a progressive re- publican. James R. Garfleld, A. l. Garford, John D. Fackler, Jobn L. ulliven, D. Meade Massie and I M. Nevil. all state factors in®the bull moosé orgenization in i912, hive an- nounced themselves in favor of the nomination of Col. Thompson. In view of this it will be seen that the Knight candidacy is not at all to be compared with that of Mr. Bev- eridge in Indiana or Mr. Pinchot in Pennsylvania. Since the attitude that Representative Knight has assumed in the primary campalgn would put him as candidate for governor entiraly out of harmony with the heads o both the state.and national party or- ganizations, it is apparent to the reg- ular republitans who are in hearty sympathy with some of the thing has declared for that h i would doom the party to overwhelming defeat.

Although he made urprisingly good owing in the recent democratic |vr|-l he lacked a little of receiving and maries, a ma ¥ of all the votes cast, the contest will have to be settled in the run-off primaries, August Blanton received a total of 11,151 vot as against & combined total of 11.596 received by his four opponens. The next hig e to him was that of Representative Oscar Cal- of Blanton ave to have all the the eliminated making effort opposition votes of ndidates thrown to Callaway. If this should be done, Blanton would be defeated in the run-off primaries. On_the other hand, however, Blanton and his_chief supporters are counting on receiving a liberal number of the votes that were cast for the defeat- ed candidates. i One of the things that has brought support to Blanton in the present con- test is the effort that is being made ! is colleagues in Congrs to bring about his defeat. This action, not only on the part of members of the Texas delegation in Congress. but by representatives of other states, i resented by many people of this dis trict. as is evidenced by the discus- sions of the subject here. Blanton fs making the most of this reported effort of his epemies in Congress to interfere with the politice of his own distriet. It is charged that a regular campaign committee of congre: men was organized to fight the re- nomination of Blanton. The district has been flooded with franked liter- ature attacking Blanton's record in Congress, it is asserted here. BOY BOILED TO DEATH.

Smith that under no circumstances would he be a candi- date, and the statement of former Representative Charles P. Coady, who has also been prominently mentioned in connection with the nomination, that he had definitely made up his mind not be a candidate and would issue a formal statement later. With the withdrawal of Mr. Coady it is more than likely that a move will be made to urge Gov. Ritchie to abandon his decision not to enter the senatorial fight. Representations will probably be made to the governor that he is the only man who can lead the party out of the morass into which it has floundered. Drift of the Comment. Just what Stephen W.
