COLUMBUS. o., June 25-The Republic
an state convention to-day adopted plat
form nominated a state ticket and ad-
journed, all within three hours. The ticket
follows:
Governor-GEORGE X NASH.

The convention was in session from 1910
a. m to 1:10 D. m. and broke the Ohio rec
ord for expedition. The intense heat was
prostrating. and Chairman Hanna not only
cut short his own speech, but also those Of
others. and then dispatched business with
the utmost speed. In this three hours the
convention nominated a full state ticket
adopted it's declaration of principles. in
dorsed Foraker as the Republican candi-
date for reelection as United States sena-
tor, completed the party organization for
the campaign and transacted other busi-
ness.
OF the seven nominations only three were
new men and one of these. Nippert, for
lieutenant governor, was nominated with
out opposition after Lieutenant Governor
Caldwell had declined denomination Nash,
Sheets, Cameron and Johnston were re-
nominated for second terms without oppo-
sition. There were free-for-all contests for
the nominations for supreme judge and
clerk of the Supreme Court. 1t had been
currently reported that Crew and Critch-
felc were on the Hanna slate for these
two nominations, but Senator Hanna vigor-
ously denied taking any part whatever in
the contests for these two places. Judge
Crew is an old friend and neighbor of Ell
mer c. Dover. the private secretary Of
Senator Hanna. Dover was working at the
Crew headquarters. Many. therefore,
claimed that Dover's operations had the
sanction of the senator and that the slate
was broken. The vote showed that Price
and Emerson had formed a combination
that worked successfully for both Of them.
Judge Price, of Lima. has been on the Com
mon Pleas and Circuit benches, and Emer-
son has been prominent in politics in east
ern Ohio for years.
The nomination that caused the most
comment was that of Nippert. in place of
Lieutenant Governor Caldwell. the latter
being the only one who elected with
Governor Nash two years ago that was not
renominated for a second term. The State
Anti-saloon League caused Caldwell 10 run
several thousand behind his ticket in 1899
and had vigorously opposed his nomination
There were frequent calls for Caldwell in
the convention, but he could not be induced
10 take the platform or even rise in his
seat and Chairman Hanna dispatched busi-
ness in such a way as TO give no Opportuni-
ty for demonstrations. When the delegates
were calling for Caldwell. Chairman Hanna
made Caldwell member of the committee
TO escort Governor Nash TO the hall 10 de-
liver his speech of acceptance. and while
this committee out Chairman Hanna
promptly called up the next order of busi-
ness and State Senator Nippert was nomi-
mated Nippert has been principal of schools
at Cincinnati and police prosecutor there.
Like Caldwell he is liberal and the State
Anti-saloon League express their displeas-
ure because Nippert, in the last Legisla-
ture, voted against the Clark local option
bill Meantime the representatives, of the
LIQUOR interests left tonight very much
displeased over what they term the en-
forced retirement of Caldwell. while Mr..
Clark has been renominated in Columbus
for the Legislature and several Republican
members who opposed the Clark local op-
tion bill have been defeated for renomina-
