The convention was in session from
1910 a. M, to ITO p. m, breaking the
Ohio record by completing its work in
three hours. The intense heat was pros
trating and Chairman Hanna not only
cut short his own Speech but also those.
of others, and then dispatched business
with the utmost speed.
In those three hours the convention
nominated the full State ticket, adopted
its declaration of principles and en-
dorsed Joseph. B. Foraker as the Re-
publican candidate for reelection as
United States Senator.
OF the seven nominations only three
were new men and one of these Nippert,
for Lieutenant Governor, was nominated
without opposition after Lieutenant
Governor Caldwell had declined e-nomin-
alton. Nash, Sheets Cameron and John
son were re- nominated for second terms
without opposition.
The nomination that caused the most
comment was that of Nippert in place of
Lieutenant Governor Caldwell, the lat
ter being the only one who was elected
with Governor Nash two years ago that
was not re-nomnated for second term.

opposed his nomination. Nippert' has
been principal ,pf schools, in CINCINNATI
and police prosecutor there. Like Cald-
well, he is liberal in his views and the
Anti-Saloon League express their dis
Pleasure because Nippert in the last
Legislature voted against the Clark
Local Option bill. Meantime the repre-
sentatives of the liquor interests left
tonight very much displeased over what
they term the enforced retirement OF

acter. He reviewed the administration
of President Mckinley, discussed the fin
ancial question and insisted that the
country demands continuance of conf

have continued prosperity. This is no
time, he declared for financial indus
trial or other disturbances He favored
personal liberty, he said, so long as it
shall not interfere with the public good
No other reference was made to State

The report of the Resolutions Com
mittee, which was unanimously adopted
as the platform of the party in Ohio
