AKRON DEMOCRATS
Declare Themselves Against
Traitors and Deserters.

After his address, Judge Grant was
made chairman of the convention, and
Albert c. Holloway, ESQ. was chosen
secretary. Attorney s, g. Rogers was
called on for speech, and he delivered
one of his characteristically earnest and
eloquent addresses. He said that the
policies outlined by Judge Grant were
good enough for platform on which
the voters of Akron and Summit coun-
ty might well base their faith, and
work hard for success of the principles
advocated.
And one of the most important fea-
lures of the convention was the ap-
plause and unanimous approval Of
Mr.. Rogers declaration that no good
Democrat could for a moment afford
to consider seriously the movement
now on among certain clique for
revision of the principles of the Dem
ocratic National platform, and for re-
organization of the party.
II will never vote with any party
that nominates David b. Hill for
President said Mr.. Rogers. I'VE
should have nothing to do with the
traitors who deserted us in 1896 and
in 1900. until they repent in sack 10th
and ashes. They are unworthy of our
respect. The platform adopted by the
Kansas City convention, in 1900, Is
good enough for me. If its principles
are enunciated, | am sure the relief
that has long been sought will be
| found"
with reference to the platform, Mr.
Rogers said further, "Of course there

ANOTHER

Court.
Yemma Fined and Ordered to

Police court assumed the aspect Of
an Italian comedy, Thursday morning,
during the trial of Scarifino Yemma,
charged with non-support. Italian let
ters, Italians jumping up in various
parts of the court room, talking and
gesticulating wildly, Italians on the
witness stand and an interpreter, all
tended to add color to the scene.
Yemma pleaded not guilty to the
charge of non-support, but after hear
ing the testimony and seeing the vari.

the contrary was true and fined Scarf
fino $40 and costs and sentenced him
to 30 days in the works" the sentence
to be suspended ON condition that

out destroying freedom, and without
making the central authority absolute

yiceroy in our Indian empire, which
from one point of view Is strictly

Army anu NdNg bNN'h~'l
One OF the most striking evidences
OF the efficiency of the Medical Depart
ment of the army in the Philippines
appears In the record of its work In
treating dysenteTy. AS in other wars,
this disease has been 4 grave peril In
the Philippines, where It has caused
many deaths and hundreds OF cases
OF total disability among the Ameri-
can troops. Yet in spite OF climatic
and other conditions which render the
disease exceptionally virulent and
deadly, the Medical Department has al
most completely eradicated II. This
extraordinary result has been accom-
plished through the vigilant enforce
ment OF sanitary measures requiring
that all drinking water shall be boiled,
that men shall wash their hands before
handling articles OF food, and that the
utmost care shall be taken to prevent
the infection of towels and table linen.
Because OF this wise precautionary
policy. dysentery has almost disappear
ed from the army stations in the achi-
pelago, and results almost as marked
have been accomplished in treating
typhoid fever. The record Is one which
has never been surpassed by the medi'
cal authorities OF an army OF white
men in a tropical campaign.
