Prohibition Party Seeks Ballot Place in Ohio Campaign
In Columbus the Prohibition Party sought to appear on the November ballot under its party name. Frank McCartney, the party candidate for U S Senate, asked the Second District Court of Appeals to compel the secretary of state to place the party on the ballot. The court issued a mandamus writ directing the secretary to respond by February 28, explaining why it would not grant the request. Ohio law requires presidential party nominees to be selected at conventions by delegates from the preceding primary. The Prohibition convention was held last June at Winona Lake Indiana with Claude A. Watson nominated for president and Dale H. Learn for vice president.
