when the motion was put on the adoption
J Of the resolutions. McKinley's instruc-
tons and all. The factions closed ranks
and the vocal fusilade was awful. In the
midst of the din the motion was put
The vote was a series of confused bowls,
but Chairman Thompson ruled that the
resolutions had passed "by big majori-
ty' and that settled it. 1t was rumored
at this point that General Harrison was
just outside the stage door, but the report
proved to be false and it was said that
he had declined a the last moment to ad-
dress the convention. The balloting for
delegates to the St. Louis convention was
begun shortly after noon. Charles Fair
banks, Richard w. Thompson, Gen. Lew
Wallace and Frank Milliken were chosen.
The first ballot for candidate for gov
ernor was fruitless. Twelve names were
placed before the convention.
The rest of the day was spent In NOM
mating speeches and balloting, and on
the seventh ballot James A. Mount of
Montgomery county was nominated for
governor i,~.a
w. S. Haggard was nominated for
lieutenant governor on the first ballot
The rest of the ticket was made up
largely by reclamation, as follows: Sec
rotary of state, w. D. Own; auditor, A.
C. Daily; treasurer, F. J. Scholz; attorney
general w. A. Ketcham supreme court
reporter, Charles r. Remy; superintend-

INDIANA REPUBLICANS
Declared for Mckinley and Against Free
Coinage of Silver.

Indianapolis, Ind, May AT 1915 a.
m. Chairman Gowdy of the state COM
mittee called the republican convention
to order. Rev. DR.. Lucas offered prayer
while the 5000 people in the hall stood up,
and Hon. Richard w. Thompson of Terre
Haute was introduced as permanent
chairman. He was greeted with great
applause. Despite his advanced age, his
voice was clear and strong.
In his closing sentences Chairman
Thompson said: II do not wonder that
the people. when they look at their little
homes place their faith in that great rep
resentative of protection"
This mere reference to Mckinley pre-
cipitated tremendous applause. and 1t
continued at intervals as the speaker
went ON. Il know Mckinley and love
him. I'm for him. / know him to be up
right. honest and faithful and that he
can be trusted with the welfare of the

l know that of all the candidates now
named Mckinley can best be trusted at
the head of this government"
Following the speech of Chairman
Thompson. A. A. Marsh of Randolph
county presented and read the platform.
from which the following extracts are
made:
The republicans of Indiana are in favor
of protection. We demand a tariff that
will not only secure the necessary
amount of revenue, but will also afford
adequate and certain protection to the
wage workers and producers of this
country.
We demand that American sellers shall
have the first choice in American mar

debt. resumed specie payment, maintains
ed the public credit, kept unimpaired the
gold reserve, increased the wealth of the
whole country and added to the comfort
and happiness of the whole people to q
degree unparalleled in the history of ma
tions. The reversal of this beneficent
and patriotic policy by the democratic
party has brought to the American ,peo-
pie nothing but distrust, deficit and dis
aster. We therefore demand a return to
the sound republican policy of protection
and reciprocity, and we are firm and END
phatic in our demand for honest money.
we believe that our money should not
be inferior to. the money of the most en-
lightened nations of the earth. We are
unalterably opposed to every scheme
that threatens to debase or depreciate
our currency. We favor the use of sill

and under such regulations that it's par
ity with gold can be maintained, and in
consequence are opposed to the free. I'M

their votes for him as frequently and con-
tinuously as there Is any hope of his

Pike County press. (Milford, Pa.) 1895-1925, 1896-11-27

Two great football games were
played last Saturday, one in Phila-
delphia and one in New York. The
estimated gross receipts of the two
are about S65. 600. Probably this
sum is equal to the income for a
year in any of the smaller colleges,
and perhaps not over four or five in
the country receive more. Much
could be said in the advisability
from several stand points of foster
ing athletics at such a cost. Stu
dents need exercise, but is the sys-
tenn of training now deemed necss-
sary for these games, and the vast
outlay of money for expenses in the
training, beneficial to the student
physically, morally or mentally |?
Does this department of liberal edu-
cation pay ? Many students feel
obliged to spend considerable sums
in attendance at the games, and all
this has a tendency to inculcate ex-
pensive habits, and perhaps lead to
excesses not wholesome to general
morality or conducive to solid learn
ing. There will be a toning down
of these things shortly and they
will be conducted in a more moder-
ate way, and one more beneficial to
the general educational welfare Of
the student.

A New ohainless Wheel.

A jeweler in Philadelphia has in
vented a wheel which differs wholly
from the chainless wheels with
bevel gear, and is a decided novelty
The gearing in this is direct. A
well made tool-steel cog wheel ten
inches in diameter is attached to the
crank axle. In line and back of this
is another of the same kind which
meshes in a much smaller cog wheel
attached to the axle of the rear
wheel. A race has tried the ma
chine and made one-third of a mile
in 80 seconds. He thinks with prac-
tice he could make phenomenal
time.
