German Democrats back Baker Mueller ticket in Ohio race
The Plain Dealer argues Germans in Ohio favor the Democratic ticket and that Dr Gustave Broehl of Cincinnati stands as a German representative equal in ability to Mueller. It contends Germans in Holmes, Seneca, Crawford, Richland, Mercer, Auglaize and other counties support Democrats, and that Mueller’s German origin would not sway votes. The piece notes Republicans abandoned Know Nothingism by nominating a foreign born citizen and discusses Mueller as lieutenant governor versus senator.
