THE OHIO PLATFORM
A Democrats Views on the Coming
Buckeye Campaign

In local Democratic circles the platform
adopted yesterday by the Ohio Demo
Gratis at Columbus Is heartily approved
An Ohio Democrat said today:
Because We did not endorse Bryan in
our platform OF mention the Kansas City
platform does not mean that Mr. Bryan
has lost his hold on the Ohio Democracy
1t simply means that we recognized the
fact that the issues Of 1909 are not the
issues of today, and We believe we can
elect our ticket on State Issues. So far as
silver is concerned that question has been
relegated 10 the rear by reason of the i'm
mense increase IN the output of gold
The time mas now arrived for us to
carry Ohio. and 20 do 50 We must present
a solid front TO the enemy, and that can
only be done by abandoning the issues OF
1860 and confining the campaign to local
affairs We haven't elected a Democratic
Governor since 1889. and therefore We be-
Iieve il is our time TO win.
The Democrats VINO held alOOf in 1896
and 1909 have returned to the fold, and
the little differences existing among the
leaders have been buried, ard we ace
thoroughly united. which is more than
can be said OF the Republicans.

THE THREATENED RATE WAR.
Western Railroads Expected to
Rench n Peaceful Agrcement.

NEW YORK. July I1--InteTest in the
threatened rate war among the Western
roads which was so acute a few days ago,
seems to have almost died out, and Wall
Street believes that there is not the slight
est possibility Of any serious trouble.
While the details Of the agreement and
final official announcement Of the with
drawa1 OF the announced cut in rates by
the AJchisOn have not yet been made
public, such action is scarcely deemed
necessary in view OF the situation as it is
today
y joint conference Of the various roads
interested viii be held in Chicago tomor-
row. and it is expected that their action
viii give final quictus to all the Jrou-
bic which has been brewing of late
Whether the agreement to be reached
viii be d hard and fast one, or merely the
pledges Of the representatives of the va
r3ous roads interested, the result will not
be materially different Interest has cen
tired somewhat on the action of the Chi
cago Great Western. but there seems no
reason TO dgubt that MI Stickney, the
president will formally agree to main
tain rates and stick by tn. other roads in
their efforts 70 prevent further trouble.
There has been unlimited criticism Of
what has been termed the arbitrary ac-
ton OF the AtcbiSOn IN preCipltaJiuS
rate war or making such a war possible,
and it has been said that the real cause
Of that action was not the alleged secret
rate-cUtting of the Chicago Great West
eTn and the Wisconsin Central, but for
other reasons which have been carefully
hidden. and related in a measure to a
certain agreement said to exist between
the Atchison and the Southern Pacific
relative To traffic on the Pacific Coast A
misunderstanding as to this agreement
and firm front taken by the other side,
it is said led the AtcbisoR to begin an in
direct but effective fight under cover of
retaliating on the Chicago Great West
ern for rate-cutting
There is Il great deal Of speculation, Of
course. on this view Of the fight. but that
there is something more back Of the po-
sition taken by the Atchison than appears
on the surface there is little room to
doubt.
Whatever the cause, it is believed that
there Is too much at stake by the roads
themselves to allow such a thing as q
rate war to 90 into effect. An early an
nouncement formally revOking Mr.. Rip
Iey's order is looked for, and he has full
discretion 10 issue such a revocation at
any time
