Ohio Republicans Hold National Tone At Columbus Convention
The Ohio Republican state convention in Columbus on April 2 adopted a Washington inspired platform with anti-trust emphasis and dropped the Porto Rico resolution.

The ticket included Bocentiney for state, Sladell for supreme court, Goddard for public works, Bone for dairy and food commissioner, Herrick and Orr as electors at large, with Foraker Nash Dick and General Grosvenor among alternates.
