SOCIALISTIC PLANKS ARE ADOPTED
| Columbus, Ohio, July 10.-The Demo
cratic state convention convened hert
today under peculiar circumstances
All the more conservative member:
had combined in the preliminaries
against the friends of Mayor Tom l.
Johnson, but the combination was moi
maintained after the committees were
selected. At an all night session of the
committee on resolutions the johnson
men won on their favorite views or
state matters and the other side or
national issues.
There is no reaffirmation Of the
Kansas city, or any ether platform
There is no mention of Bryan. The
sub committee Of seven that drafted
the platform stood four to three in IA
vor of the conservatives, but the full
committee rejected both the majority
and the minority reports, and then
picked out parts of each. The three
franchises of steam and electric rail-
ways and corporation taxation were
adopted. C. P. Salem, member of
Mayor Johnson's cabinet, at Cleveland,
was greeted with an ovation on being
introduced as temporary chairman. He
was continued as permanent chairman.
The johnson planks on taxation were
loudly applauded when read in con-
vention. w. L. Finley offered sub
stitute for the preamble, reaffirming
the Kansas City platform and express
ing continued confidence in Bryan.
He said he wanted to ascertain wheth-
er this was Democratic convention
and whether the Ohio Democrats are
looking backward. Finley's motion
was overwhelmingly defeated.
When the resolutions were adopted,
there were three cheers for Tom john
son. The platform advocates the fol-
lowing policies
The government of the municipalities
of the state should be radically re-
formed and wise general laws be en-
acted to correct abuses and prevent
their recurrence.
Steam and electric railways and
other corporations possessing public
franchises shall be assessed in the
same proportion of their saleable value
as are farms and city real estate.
That the reserved rights of the state
and the people should be upheld. Cen
tralization, which would destroy them,
Is to be condemned. The strict con-
struction of the constitution. The
greatest individual liberty consistent
with public order and welfare.
All trust products should be placed
on the free list and the government
should exercise a more rigid supervis-
ion of transportation lines and abolish
in fact all unjust discrimination in
rates. No subsidies for favored ship
owners.
The powers granted the federal gov
ernment were not meant to be used to
conquer or hold in subsection the peo-
pie of other countries.
The maintenance of the Monroe doc
trine as heretofore interpreted, and
asserted by the national government.
A navy commensurate with the in
ternational Importance of the United
States and primacy in the western
hemisphere. and adequate for the pro-
lection of the lives and property of
American citizens the world over.
A constitutional amendment requir-
ing the election. of United States sena-
tors by direct vote of the people.
No questioning of the rights of labor
to combine for asserting its rights and
fnr the protection Of it's interests.
We demand that all official miscon-
duct and corruption be vigorously pun
ished, and that public virtue be upheld
and want Of it denounced.
