Is Not Politically Indebnnrto the
atcm Al-ReiMTbTlea n ' h a l rnian.
Columbus, O., Jan. 3. Judge- George
K. Nash, chairman of the Republican
state executfve "iVmimittee. yesterday
sent a letter- to Governor Rushnefl re
signing his position as a tr.uVtee of the
Ohio asylum at Ciallipolis, forr epiieptics.
to which. position Judge NasR had been
appointed by Governor IJushneM.-. The'
letter is sa'd to be very caustic but
Judgp tvash will not -'give it out for
publication 'till after it has K-en re
ceived by ttie governor. Upon - being
asked for the reasons for. .hi'S action
Judge Nash -said:- . -:
"On FrKllfyr-fcam informed by a most
reliable kentleinaloyernor BuslineU
said tharTTle Itepiilican state execu
tive committee in tli recent i-ainpaign
did not do a thmg to assist him as a
candidate. In justie to my associates
on. that committee, vban wVkAii a more
loj'al set of men to a party. ticke. and
"to -a. great caure wt re never handed to
gethei-, as h '! -as . to mvself as the
chairman. I couTd not do otherwise' than
resent the insult j. -
"Again, if Governor Oushnell really.
believes , that I was "disloyal to hmi as
chairman he. raw st be verV uneasy as
Jo whether I will' ircperly perform my
duties as an officer, I desi red to relieve.
his mind of this worry. '"".'
"I am. also disgusted with the conduct
of Governor Bushnelr. Before the Vlec
.tlon in public speeches, he pretended
that he desired Mr. Hanna's return- to
the United States . senate. . Since that
time he has consorted with the enemies
of the Republican party to defeat the
will of the people. ' I look upon, this
as a square ca?e-of obtaining Votes by
false pretenses."
Judge Nash as chairman of the state
pommittee is taking an active interest
in the election ."of Senatof Hanna arid
claims that the last state convention
at Toledo named Mr. Hanna for senator
as well as nominated Mr. Bushm-ll for
governor. At the last sta.te .convention
in Toledo tJovernor Bushnell wanted
Charles L. -Kurtz selected as chaitman
of the. state executive committee, a
position which Mr. Kurtz-had held for
the two previous campaigns.
It is claimed that the head 'of. the
state ticket by precedent has always
named the state campaign chairman'
In 189$ Secretary, of -Sta.e Charles
Kinney headed the state ticket ar.d op
posed Kurt?: for chairman, but Gov
ernor Bushnell secured the reapproint
ment then of Kurtz as chairman over
the. protest of Kinney." When the last
state convention -nominated Bushnell
fo'r . eovernot and Hanna for sna'tor
the latter defeated Kuriz for chairman
and secured the election of . Na: h for
chairman. That is:. the cause of the
present tight 'against Hanna.
Governor Bushnell. in an interview
Saturday, night, mode the first an-
nouncement of his candidacy for the
I have.any political future. I want ,it
to Test right now "upon my opposition
to. Senator Hanna. 'The people . of this
state, in my opinion, are tired of boss
ism. , .. (
"I am' blamed because.' some of- my
appointees ate working against- Sena
tor.Hanna. The city is full of federal
employes from Washington for hirn,
and nothing is said about that." I am
tired of this attempt to hold flie up.
It seems toime that 1 do not jowe any4
thing to. Senator Hanna after the way
I was treat ed by him and his frienus
in the last state convention. t.
"If. Senator " Hanna's friends think
they can scare me by threatening to
stop the inauguration exercises they
are ''-. -pimply- mistaken in their man.
