COLUMBUS, O., March 12-The Grand
Opera House was unable to give admis-
sion to more than half Of those holding
tickets and wearing badges with Nc
Kinley's picture thereon. Some of the
delegates to the Republican state con-
vention, which was to have assembled
at 10 a. m. were crowded out. With
heavy snow falling, standing room on
the outside was not desirable, and there
was much complaint about the capacity
of the hall.
1t was 1915 when Senator elect Fo-
raker called the convention to order.
At that time the stage was crowded
with Ohio congressman and other party
leaders. Ex- Secretary Charles Foster

tials reported il favor of seating 1.-THE
committee" delegation from Muskin-
gum. as against "the mass convention"
delegation. The report was adopted
with resolution against county com
mittees assuming the power i'll the flu
ture of appointing delegates No other
contests were reported.
The temporary organization of the
convention was unanimously made the
permanent organization when Chair
man Foraker briefly acknowledged the
double honor and proceeded with bust
ness. The report Of the committee on
rules and order of business changed
some presidents in the order Of nomlna-
tons, and discussion was precipitated
on an amendment to have the nomina-
ton for food dairy commissioner come
last on the list. The amendment was
lost and the report adopted.

of the committee on resolutions re.
ported the platform, which was greeted
