Republican. Ohio Convention
Meets To-Day.
WILL ENDORSE ROOSEVELT
There Will Be No Disagreement on
National Issues, but Some Sharp
Contests Are Looked for in
?tate Affairs,
(Hr Associateli I'r?i?.i
BU8, O., June 2.???
tlons to-night are that the Republican
State Convention here to-morrow and
Thursday will not be such a harmonious
ratification meeting as was expected.
While there will be no opposition as to
the endorsement of President Roosevelt,
Senator Hanna and others, and no dif?
ference on national Issues, there are dlf?
ferencee of opinion on State questions,
and very animated contests for places
on the State ticket, except for Governor,
Auditor of State, Attorney-General and
members of the Board of Public Works.
After the .conference to-night It was
concodcd that nt least two of tho live
proposed constitutional amendments
were beaten.
Senators Hanna and Foraker and other
Republican lenders arrived this evening,
nnd all workers and candidates are here
to-night. Tho most Important conference
td-nlght was that of Senator Hanno and
George B. Cox, of Cincinnati, who were
alone for two hours, and later conferred
with others. Myron T. Herrick, Sena?
tor Foraker, Chairman Dick and others,
Including the candidates, held receptions
In adjoining rooms, anxiously awaiting
word from the Hnnna-Cox conference.
Both Hanna and Cox state that they
were discussing the proposed constitu?
tional amendments. Certain circum?
stances have given general credence to
the report that Senator Hanna will not
take much part In naming the State
ticket and that Mr. Cox will be the most
potential factor In tho nominations.
It Is conceded that. Senator Hanna has
already named the head of the State tick?
et, and It Is bolleved that he favors ex
Congressman ?. M. Boothman, of Bryan,
fot Lieutenant-Governor, while Cox fa?
vors ex-Senator W. O. Harding, of Mar
Ion. The only opponent of Myron T. Her
rlck for the gubernatorial nomination
who has not withdrawn Is Albert Doug?
las, of Chllllcothe, and at headquarters
to-night he said the delegates of the
Eleventh Congressional District would be
relieved from their Instructions, so that
Herrick will be nominated on Thursday
for Governor without opposition. With
such deference to Senator Hanna's pref?
erence for Gtovernor, the Senator insisted
that he would not Interfere in the con
testa for minor places.

THE CROPS SHOW
AN IMPROVEMENT
Bulletin Issued by the Local
Weather Bureau En?
couraging.
The crop bulletin for tha week endlnf
June 1st Issued by the local Weather
Bureau Is as follows:
A general improvement In crop condi?
tions over tho State has taken place
since the last report. Rains, In variable
quantities, have fallen In nearly all see
lions, In some cases being amply sufflelont
for the needs of growing vegetation and
in others Insufficient but very helpful. In
only two or three localities, so far aa
reported, were the showers so light and
local a* to not afford relief from the pre?
viously droughty weather. The softening
of the -rrouud by tho rains enabled con?
siderable plowing and other preparation
for orops to tie made, and It is probable
tlhat the coming week will seje the plant?
ing of late crops completed. Grass line
started growing aaaln and pastures have
griiened up nicely. aanhuiH which have
beon quite backward all the spring bave
ulto miulo u rleclded Improvement. Gene?
rally the prospetta are better now than
at any time for a month past.
AA'lnter wheat Is ehi>wln< somo Improve?
ment since the rain, but In many in?
stances the crop'was too far gone to ha
materially benefited. Where the showers
have been Insutth'lent delds aro still yel?
low, and gvnenilly tbe heads ara small
and straw la short. The ??????,?? la ex?
pressed by many correspondents that
yield ivlll be below average. Th? crop
la ripening well.
