The Clay Center Convention.

The state convention at Clay Center
April 25th, for the selection of eight, :
four delegates to the national convention
at Sioux Falls on May 9th, was in every
respect grand success. The principal
speech makers of the occasion were
Bryan, Jerry Simpson and Judge crosby
of New York, formerly of Kansas City.
Bryan spoke in the afternoon to an audi
ence nearly filling the park which covers
over five acres. HisJspeech was mas
terly presentation of the issues of the
day and an appeal for justice for hu-
ranity, for a better social system.
Judge Crosby is remarkably profound
student Of government and all economic
questions and an effective speaker.
Simpson spoke in his usually happy vein.
The recognizing Of the state commit.
tee was not brought up. Everything
was harmonious. Ex-Lieutenant-G Gov
ernor Harvey was chairman, and Wm.
morply, secretary of the convention.
The convention was overwhelmingly for
Briedenthal for governor.
The legislature of Ohio has adjourned
