Jim Hart, the chief of staff for retiring U.S. Rep. Douglas Apple-gate, D-Steubenville, came to Heath Tuesday afternoon, the last stop on his initial campaign tour. "We want to bring Licking County off the back porch and into the living room with the rest of us," Hart said, stressing a campaign pledge to include the eastern half of the county under his congressional wing if elected. The eastern portion of Licking County and the part of Newark that is east of 21st Street is in the sprawling 18th District.

The county is on the western border of a district that encompasses 14 counties and stretches to Steu-benville and Marietta on the Ohio River.

Hart is viewed by some as the front-runner. He touts his 1 7 years with Applegate and named the congressman as his honorary chairman. Hart emphasized he wants to deploy a mobile office that would visit Licking County and be linked to his Washington office via fax and computer. He also pledged to be a sort of congressman-on-wheels, traveling in the motor-home when possible to visit constituents. Hart hails from the Democratic Party bastion of the district, a region stretching through Jefferson, Belmont, Monroe and Noble counties.

He is a Martins Ferry resident and native, and taught at Martins Ferry High before working for the late U.S. Rep. Wayne Hays. State Rep. Marc Guthrie, D-Heath, is considering a possible candidacy.

The fact he was unopposed Tuesday night reinforces the view that Lanthorn continues to find a core of support from within the party organization. Both the Democrats and Republicans have selected new members for the Board of Elections. Each party has two members on the elections panel.

The Republicans selected former Newark City Council candidate Eva Wray as their nomninee in a three-way race Jan. 4. "I'm looking forward to working with Eva," Lanthorn said Tuesday night. "She seems easy to work with and personable." While both parties have made their decisions on election board members, the law gives the actual appointing power to Secretary of State Robert Taft who, as Ohio's chief elections official, makes the final selection. Taft rarely opposes the recommendations of local parties.

Wray's and Lanthorn's new four-year terms on the Board of Elections begin March 1. They will join Republican Wes Untied and Democrat Johnny John. provide the music.

Forty-seven members of the Licking County Democratic Party executive committee came out on a inter's night to decide the issue. Rick Lanthorn of Marne was unopposed for the $8,513 job. It marked the second time Lanthorn has won the balloting without opposition.

The election is something of a prelude, party members suggest, to the likelihood Lanthorn will be e-elected party chief in late spring. Lanthorn says he plans to run again as Democratic Party chairman "as it stands right 10W." Lanthorn has served 10 years as party leader, enduring some rocky political times. The membership of the central committee is the bulwark of the chairman's strength. Democrats select central committee members in the May primary, with people running from each precinct in the county.
