George Nye, chairman of the COM
mlttee on resolutions, reported that
ms committee had unanimously de-

question of making a platform to the

soon TO be held. The idea was receiv-

to vote first for the bench places.
Frank Pierce and Farley Pratt Chris

escorted Chairman Snyder to the plat
FORM The Summit county man was
greeted cordially. but most of his
speech of thanks was received with a
painful absence Of approval.
This was particularly noticeable
when Mr. Snyder in the course of some
remarks IN favor of law and order gave
utterance to this expression: How
happy is that country which can say
that the laws by which it is controlled
arise from the consent of the govern
ed. This indirect slap at the Nc
KinIey policy in the Philippines gave
the loyal administration men a distinct
thrill.
Candidates Are Presented.
After Mr. Snyder had wound up his
talk, the assistant secretaries were con-
Quoted to the theatre of their duties
and nominations for judgeships were
begun. Mr.. Pierce in q thrilling, speech
presented the name of Judge George F.

nice things about Benner X. Smith.
The race was declared filled with
these seven entries and the seconding
speeches were in order. The most in
teresting part of this end of the pro-
gramme was John AXtOn's plea for
time in which to second the nomination
of Judge Goodwin. Mr.. AXton thought
the lawyers had done all the speaking
and intimated. although he confessed
he wasn't sure, that some of them had
received fees for their services.
More than an hour had been con-
sumed in nominating and zseconding

His stomach needs nerve force
