Governor Donahey Denied as Avowed Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate
Governor Vic Donahey is not an avowed candidate for the Democratic vice presidential nomination, says his secretary J A Meckstroth. Donahey and his wife travel southeastern states by auto, with Miami as their likely destination after a recent accident unnerving Mrs Donahey. No public schedule, the trip may last weeks or months, possibly to Cuba. Meckstroth notes rumors arose to avoid notice. In Elyria, Kiwanis plan large Elyria signs for air traffic along with potential joint Lorain Elyria airport project. Local officials including Lorain Elyria Rotary, Mayor Hewitt, and the Elyria Board of Trade back the idea.
