...Lincoln O'Brien of Dedham, Mass, to be chairman of the Tariff Commission, vice Henry Prather Fletcher, resigned. New England's insistent demand for commission representation by a thoroughgoing protectionist brought about the appointment. A Republican now, Mr. O'Brien began life as a low-tariff Democrat. Grover Cleveland plucked him from the Boston Transcript office for a private secretary upon his second presidential nomination in 1892, kept him on at the White House until 1895. The Bryan nomination of 1896 turned Mr. O'Brien Republican. A journalist for 34 years, he was Washington correspondent...

This year Mr. Hart, a bean jobber of Saginaw who runs an 800-acre farm, was again nominated, this time against Republican Foss O. Eldred of Ionia. Nominee Hart declared Wet, had the support of the Crusaders who rained...
...Republican rival, Mayor William B. Harrison of Louisville, for the Governorship. Candidate Lafoon polled a 71,523 majority. At Bowling Green, election furor precipitated a shooting: a G. 0. P. worker named W. K. Dent sent five slugs in the general direction of one-time Lieutenant GovernorHenry H. Denhardt, Democrat. One bullet pierced Mr. Denhardt's lung. Worker Dent said a friend of Denhardt's had taken a shot at him the day before, that he was saved only by a pack of election cards in his pocket...
