Primary plan for Springfield Ohio Republicans debated
The Globe Republic examines party nominating methods in Springfield urging a delegate convention with drawn ward delegates to avoid manipulation. It argues for representative, unpledged delegates and warns that current primaries risk selecting electable but unfit candidates, citing concerns over money and liquor influence. It notes Judge Foraker as a potential gubernatorial nominee and discusses reactions among colored voters to his past positions, including a letter and Gazaway case references.

Critics warn of ships' immense size hindering maneuverability and the rise of ram and torpedo warfare. A corvette concept is proposed as a cheaper alternative.
