pert.
Supreme Judge. l.. Price.
Attorney General-John NJ. Sheets.
Clerk Of the Supreme Court-Law-
son Il. Emerson.
State Treasurer B. Cameron.
Member OF Board of Public Works
w G. Johnson.
The convention reconvened Tues
day from Monday. and was in session
from about 1910 a. M. to about ITO
D. m. The intense heat was prostrat-
ing. and Chairman Hanna not only
cut short his own speech, but also
those of others, and then dispatched
business with speed.
Quick Work In Convention.
In about three hours the conyen.
ton nominated a full state ticket,
adopted its declaration Of principles,
endorsed Joseph f. Foraker as the
Republican candidate for reelection
as United States senator, completed
the party organization Tor the cam
paign, and transacted other business.
OF the seven nominations only
three We're new men, and one OF these,
Nippert, for lieutenant governor, was
nominated without opposition, after
Lieutenant Governor Caldwell had de-
clined denomination Nash, Sheets,
Cameron and Johnson were renom-
mated for second terms without oppo-
sition. There were free-for-all con-
tests for the nomination for supreme
Judge and clerk OF the supreme court.
1t had been currently reported that
Crew and Critchiield were on the
Hanna slate for these two nomina-
tions, but Senator Hanna vigorously
denied taking any part whatever in
the contests for these two places. The
vote showed that Price and Emerson
had formed a combination that work
ed successfully for both of them.
Judge Price, of Lima, has been on the
common pleas and circuit benches.
and Emerson has been prominent in
politics in Eastern Ohio for years
The nomination that caused the
most comment was that of Nippert in
place of Lieutenant Governor Cald
well, the latter being the only one
who was elected with Governor Nash
two years ago that was not renom-
mated for a second term. The State
Anti-Saloon league caused Caldwell to
run several thousand behind his
ticket in 1899, and had vigorously op.
posed his nomination. There were
frequent calls for Caldwell in the con
vention, but he could not be induced
to take the platform. While the dele
gates We're calling for Caldwell, Chair
man Hanna made Caldwell q member
of the committee To escort Governor
Nash to the hail. to deliver his speech
of acceptance, and while the commit
tee was out Chairman Hanna prompt
ly called Up the next order of bust
ness and State Senator Nippert was
nominated. Nippert has been prinei-
pal of schools in Cincinnati and DO
lice prosecutor there. Like Caldwell,
he is libel al in his views, and the
State Anti-Saloon league express their
disp1easnre because Nippert, in the
last legislature voted aginst the Clark
local option bill Meantime the repre-
sentatiyes of the liquor interests left
last night, very much displeased over
what they term the enforced retire
ment OF Caldwell, while Rev. Mr..
! Clark has been renominated in Co
lumbus for the Legislature and several
Republican members who opposed the
Clark local option bill have been de.
feated for denomination
Senator Foraker was accompanied
last night TO Cincinnati by a large
delegation. Senator Hanna and Gov
ernor Nash went to Gambler where
they are to deliver addresses today
at the commencement OF Kenyon col
/ lege.
What the Resolutions Contain.
The report of the resolutions com
mittee, which was unanimously adopt
ed by the convention as the platform
! OF the party in Ohio, reafirms the
! Philadelphia platform; pledges undi-
vided support to the Republican
party, the magnificent achievements
of which, it is declared, have added
lustre TO American history and under
/ the administration of which the Unit
1 ed States has become a world power.
/ Industry has revived, it is set forth;
! plenty has succeeded want, and our
export trade now leads the world.
The gold standard is specifically en-
dorsed. Further strengthening of the
navy, legislation looking to the re-
/ storation of the merchant marine, the
speedy construction of an American
ship canal across the isthmus, are de-
clared to be imperative needs.
In regard to combinations Of capital
the platform says
we recognize the right Of both la
Dor and capital to combine when such
| combinations are wisely administered
for the general good, bat combina-
lions which create monopolies to con-
troll prices or limit production are an
evil which must be met by effective
legislation, vigorously enforced"
Congress is asked to renew the hui
name and reasonable laws and treat
les for the continued protection of
American labor. This mas particular
| reference to the expiration of the
eeary act.
A ringing tribute is paid to the sol
Tiers and sailors of Uncle Sam.
Attempts to deprive any citizen Of
! his right to vote under the constitu-
! ton IS denounced, and the demand is
made that representation in congress
and in the electoral college shall be
