Republicans of Ohio Seek Aid For Second Columbus Bid
The Auditor of State Donahey marches a partisan push attacking Republicans. His office printed a state funded statement on finances, then refused a printing expense, so the force mass mailed it. A Democratic agent, Tannyhill, drafted the report while Donahey claims GOP deceit. The move aims to boost Donahey’s renomination, but observers doubt its fairness or impact.

Ohio Coal Rates Bid Low to West Virginia, Heavier for Ohio
Ohio mine workers file with the State Utilities Commission to lower coal transport rates. John Moore says Ohio coal is priced out of competition as railroads charge more for Ohio coal than for West Virginia coal. He cites 80 cents a ton for Ohio coal over 50 miles vs 85 cents for WV coal over 200 miles. Judge Okey notes Ohio roads haul WV coal from Armitage to Toledo for 39 cents, but charge 85 cents for Ohio coal on the same route. Secretary Savage says Ohio mines run at one-fourth capacity with many Hocking district mines closed due to lack of orders.

Get-To-Geth e Dent in 1916 Political Move in Columbus
In Columbus Ohio last week Republicans from Franklin County discussed a possible merger between the Fowland Taylor faction and the court house crowd to unify for the 1916 municipal elections. The Rowland appointment as secretary of the sinking fund trustees could influence party unity and support for former Senator T F E Burton of Cleveland. Burton plans a July 24 address for the Buckeye Republican club. Local leaders expect offers of support when he visits. Harding and Herrick are reportedly not pursuing the presidential nomination.
