Ohio contest seen too close for clear party claim
New York August 15 Judge George Hoadly of Cincinnati temporary chairman of the Hancock and English ticket notes the Ohio contest is too close to claim a clear victory for either party. He says Democrats are more united than Republicans. German support for Hancock and English grows in Northern Ohio. Campaigns expand to Indiana with mass meetings and speeches, while veteran clubs in Pennsylvania tally ex-soldier enrollments for Hancock. Col. Charles E. L. Hohnes of New York supports Hancock.

Acceptable Candidates for the Democratic Gubernatorial Nomination
The Boston Post correspondent notes Frank Jones is the Democrats’ likely choice for New Hampshire governor with three-fourths support. Ex Chief Justice Cushing would appeal in Cheshire and Sullivan counties if renominated, appealing to farmers tired of Manchester incumbents and Republican interests. If nominated, Cushing could unite Republicans and Democrats for a vigorous campaign and defeat the Republicans’ control.
