Sandusky, o., Sept. 3.--Mayor John
sons platform has been adopted by
the Resolutions committee, as he wrote
it to submit to their judgment. Ex
cept one the one plank endorsing the
Kansas City platform and Bryan this
action was unanimous, and on the
adoption of that plank but three dis
senting votes were registered.
And 1t can be stated positively that
Mayor Johnson has control of the
State Central committee, the body
which has control Of the party organ
ization. 1t is estimated by men who
should know that his working major
ity on this committee will be seven at
least, the line being Johnson commit
teemen H. and committeeman not
friendly to the Mayors policy, or not
in touch with him, as seven.

DIVORCED

A divorce case in which the circum-
stances were so unusual as to cause
the court to administer a rather Sc
we're lecture to the defendant, young
woman, was disposed of by Judge
Kohler in Common Pleas court Tues
day. The case was that of Clarence
L. Patterson, of Akron, VS.. Jessie
Patterson. They were married in Ak
ron about two years ago, and the
plaintiff alleged in his petition that
his wife was guilty of willful absence
and gross neglect of duty. She is the
daughter of Luther T. Ellsworth, Of
Cleveland, who is now United States
Consul at one of the ports in yenezue-
la. After Mr.. and Mrs Patterson had
been married for about year, 1t Is
alleged that the wife deserted her hus-
band and went to her father in Vene-
zuela, where the divorce summons
were served. She was obliged to leave
there, however, when the war broke
out. The court censured her for be-
ing of disposition so frivolous that
she would abandon her husband, ap.
parently without cause, and in disre-
gard of the marriage vows. which
bound them for life. Mrs. Patterson
is aged %, and her husband "a.

As Adopted by Committee Is Just as

overwhelming majority of the Resolu-
tions committee declared against them.
Daugherty declares that he will pre-
sent minority report to the conven-
tion on this particular plank in order
to transfer his fight from the commit
tee room to the convention floor He
says he will present this report IL he
is alone in advocating this amend
ment of the platform, but McMahon
and Jordon have announced that they
will stand with him. However, the
sentiment in general among the dele
gates Is conceded to be in favor of this
particular Johnson plank, and while
1T was believed that 1t might. have to
stand the brunt of determined at
tack in committee it is gen.
orally believed that to carry
the question to the floor of the
convention will only mean an over
whelming endorsement of the Kansas
City platform plank. For the rank and
file of the Ohio Democrats have nj
ways manifested loyalty for the de.
feated national leader of two Presi-
dental campaigns when given an op.
portunity.
The treatment accorded the remand
er of the Johnson platform was a dis
tinct triumph for the new State lead
er, who profered II for the considera-
tion of his party. Every other plank
within the document save only this
Kansas City declaration, received ev.
ery committeeman's vote In favor of
its incorporation in the State platform.
In other words, Mayor Johnsons first
state platform was unanimously
adopted with the exception of one
plank and the opposition to that was
insignificant,
The committee remained in session
Tor nearly three hours, but that time
was used not in wrangling over the
various planks, but In the securing
OF individual opinions from every mem.
Der of the committee as to the planks
fbe believed should be incorporated in
a State platform. The roll was called

Sandusky, O., spe.t 3.-Without al
teration except in the addition of q
single line intended to make still more
emphatic the stand taken against per-
petual franchises, the platform writ
ten by Mayor Johnson and submit
ted to the Committee on Resolutions
was adopted by that body last night
In brief, and without attempting to
follow its order, the johnson platform.
1. Declare against perpetual fran
chises in the strongest possible terms.
2. Advocates entire home rule in
municipal government, the Democratic
definition of home rule being that
embodied in the municipal codes pro-
viding for the creation of its own gov
ernment bw each municipality;
3. Demands taxation reform and
the shifting to the shoulders of cor"
porations fair share Of their burden
in taxes
4. Endorses Bryan and the Kansas
City platform without specifically en-
dorsing, but not condemning, the silver
plank;
8. Declare for relief from trusts and
their exactions;
G. Declares against imperialism.
Z. Condemns what is characterized
az an unholy alliance between boss
Cox of Cincinnati and the two Re-
publican United States Senators Of
Ohio for the furthering of their own
interests by legislation not in the in
terests of the people, and arraigns
the present state administration for a
record which 1t condemns;
8. Declares against the acceptance
OF free passes by public officials and
demands that the acceptance of such
favors shall be made ground for re-
moval from Office.
The expected fight against the plank
endorsing the Kansas City platform
written into the platform by Mayor
Johnson did not materialize to any
great extent. All day threats and
mutterings against the adoption OF
this particular plank filled the air but
when the committee came to that sec
tion of the declaration Of principles
but three men stood out against Its
adoption. These were Jordon, OF
Cincinnati, from the First district
Mcmahon, OF Dayton, from the Third
district, and Daugherty, Of Fairfield
county, from the Eleventh district
All three opposed in vigorous speeches
the insertion OF this plank and al
three voted against it when the rol
was called, But theirs were the only
three voices laid down by Mayor John
son ON this question and thsir were
the only votes cast against its incor
poration In the platform. In spite OF
the evident strength of opinion against
them. however, these three opponent.

Complaints have been made to mem

corners and the street car men are for
ever deprived of this source of amuse-
ment. The children, well as they liked
the dog, had not the money nor the
foresight to buy him a collar from
Beman C. Fox, the treasurer. Herein
was the tragedy.
One day ''Rounder" got too close to
the dog catcher during a trip to enjoy
a lark with Lincoln canine companions.
For a number of days he lay in prison.
The end-alas, don't menion it!
OF good bony physique was Round
err" partly Shepherd and partly bulldog.
The rest was nondescript. He had a
good soul and a shrewd head, but he
wasn't wise enough to know he needed
a collar and that he should have avoid
ed the catcher as a plague. He liked
the children but he liked convivial
company of his own kind too well. He
lived too highly for his delicately poised
bodily mechanism. That's why his skin
was scabby. But he didn't seem to
care, SO long as nobody else did.
Not the least among his interests
were the street cars. One day he founu
that 1t would not hurt him to Chamber
aboard. When the machine moved and
the wheels underneath hummed he
looked a little nervous but that
was all. 1t did not hurt hlm
and he was trustful. He stayed
right with it, No one attempted
to put him off and when the conductor
down in the city at last mounted, the
animal was nosing the hand of a new
found friend so affectionately that tht
car man thought he was personal prop
erty and did not molest him. When IL
came time to return after a day IN the
city "Rounder" remembered where his
friend got off and sought out the cor
ner. There he waited until he saw the
familiar faces of College View people
on a car That was evidence enough
that he was right and he got on too.
And so it went The car men were
not long in learning that their -FOUR
legged passenger was an intruder, pure
and simple. One trip was enough to
convince the dog Of his power and au-
thority. When at last an effort was
made to drive him off the car he
crawled under the front seat ana
wedged himself there so securely that
the conductor took pity and ceased the
persecution.
Shaggy, brownish hair, pitifully be-
mired and reduced by mango gave him
an unspeakable appearance of deJec-
tion when he chose to fit his eyes to
the part. He knew how 20 do it and
their deep, solemn effulgence woke
compassion in many car man. But II
failed with the heartless dog grabber.
He did not pause for the appealing eyes
and the bones over which hung the
shaggy coat were only additional ex-
cuse for slaughter. When he was seen
in the fatal pen by one of his old time
College View friends, present out OF
mere curiosity, it CHANGED that no
money was at hand for his redemption.
And so he died. Hence the grief of
the children who delighted in his COM
panionship.
