OHIO APPROACHES CLOSE Os SGRAPPK PRIMMEST Twelve Candidates Enliven Battle for Nomination for Governor. CARMI THOMPSON FAVORED Opponents Have Designated Administration Choice ‘Millionaire.’ By United A’etc* COLUMBUS. 0., Aug. 7.—Ohio voters will go to the polls Tuesday to give a decision in one of the scrappiest primary campaigns in the history of th* State. In the Governorship race there are twelve candidates—nine Republicans and three Democrats, who have done about everything but invite each other into a back alley to settle it in the old-fashioned way. There are sixty-three candidates for nominations in the two 'parties for State offices and United States Senator alone. Seeking Renominations In all congressional districts, except two, Representatives are seeking renomination. All are Republicans. Representative Charles L. Knight of Akron is an aspirant for the Governorship, and Representative Simeon D. Fess of Yellow Springs is a candidate for the Senate. Among the nine Republican candidates for the governorship there is one “light wine and beer” candidate, C. Homer Durand of Coshocton, and one negro candidate, Harry Clay Smith of Cleveland. Carml Thompson of Cleveland is regarded as the favorite of the Washington Administration. He has the support of the Anti-Saloon League. Donakey Expected to Win Vic Donakey, former State auditor, who was a candidate two years ago, is expected to win the Democratic nomination. Senator Atlee Pomerene is expected to be renominated by the Democrats, while Representative Fess will probably be selected by the Republicans to oppose him. Thompson has been called the '‘millionaire candidate.” Representative Knight declared war on the “political bosses and their hand-picked candidate, Thompson." Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith, another Republican candidate for Governor, charges Harry Clay Smith, the negro candidate, was dragged into the race "to confuse the voters.”
