Fanciful Washington story stirs Ohio Republican speculation
Washington dispatch by Frank B Gessner notes a New York originated tale among Ohio Republicans predicting Judge Day to the U S Supreme Court, Nash to Day's seat, Dick for governor in 1901, and Lampson to Congress. While some take it seriously, the writer says no confirmations exist and views it as a possible factional healing plan. Also a church notice for St John’s Reformed Church invites services.
