The Ohio Republican Platform,
Boston Herald.

Boston Herald.
The platform adopted by the Ohio
Republicans in convention yesterday
is a better performance as a key
note than that made by Senator
Beveridge for the Indian Republicans
a few weeks ago. 1t has some ring
to it. Perverse and foolish in sever
al particulars it may be. but it isnot
qualified and conditioned to inanity.
" is possible to understand what it
signifies on the first reading. There
is not a breath OF reform about it.
There are no evils to be corrected, no
wrongs to be undone, only the Demo-
cratic party to becondemned. What
ever the Republican party has done
is right, and must be perpetuated.
"Charlie" Grosvenor says as much in
his speech, and his speech and the
platform are at one in lordly conceit
OF wisdom, virtue and patriotism.
The protective tariff forever! Amer
lean rule of the Philippines forever!
This is the programme OF Ohio Re.
publicanism this year. The Sherman
law, which has not prevented the
formation Of a single trust. is glori-
fed as the Republican protest against
trusts. The keynote of the perform
ance is audacity.

DO THEY WANT LARGE cONVEN
TiONS7

In Marion and other counties the poll
ticsl managers are talking about the
benefit Of having large conventions.
They get better reeults and get closer to
the people
II the politicians want TO do the right
thing why do they not give the peopl-
direct nomination. Give every Repub
lIcan a chance to express his opinion at
the primary instead Of only few.
Direc. nomination gives the voter at
the primary choice direct among the
candidates within the party. If there
are three candidates in the party for
sheriff he can take his pick.
Direct nomination Ia not new thing.
II is practiced In many states and Is
growing in favor where it is tried fairly
II is in vogue in parts Of all the middle
states.
The conventions Of delegates express
direct cLoice but they are generally
packed with states Of delegates put NJ
for this man and that. On top Of tina
come the combinations Of office seekers
The voter at the polls on election day
is supposed 10 have direct choice o
candidates. But he has no voice in selec
ting those candidates. He is relied on t.
vote the party ticket that is put b3ior'
him.
The Republican county central com
mittee that meets in Salem soon can Civ
the Republican voters Of this county tn
right TO a direct vote at the Ir'mary, ant
they should do that in our opinion.
A simple plan should be adopted q
putting candidates in nomination for th
primary election on petition OF Repub
lican voters-irom ten TO flty oters &C
cording 10 the office.
Those nominated are all TO be printe'
on a ballot and the voter at the primar
can make his cross as to choice in eac
case. The committee then meets an
counts the vote and announces the rea
choice Of the party In each case.
The voters at the primary could max
a choice for each Office from Unite
States senator, Governor, congressma
and members Of the legislature down
road supervisor.
The politicians should give ithe peopl
this right Of choice for each place anon
the aspirants within the party. 1t

they do II?

melodrama. "A Night in Chinatown,

ing play for the children. A Nashua
paper says:
Dot Karroll made a most triumphant
return to Park Theatre, last night, and
over 1900 people We're there to greet ner
and she certainly was accorded very
kind reception. 1t was evident th;tI
her work last season had not been for
gotten and the many who expected TO
be well entertained were not disap-
pointed. If anything Miss karroll is
playing better than last year and that
is saving great deal. Dot karrOll is
one of the c!everest little women on
the stage and she has supporting
company that is of par excellence. The
play produced, last night, was called
"A Night in Chinatown" The shady
side of life in Chinatown was depicted
in a very realistic manner. and yet all
disagreeable features we're obiiterated.
Each and every member of the COM
pany did good work and earned share
of the applause. The specialties were
all clever and added much enjoyment
to the entertainment.

IF you HAVE PAIN IN YOUR BACK
Do Not Be Deceived. You Have Kid

Need Physician to Tell
You So.

Let us give you a piece of advice:
Pain in the back is an almost infallible
sign Of kidney disease; surer sign is
the condition of your urine. If you have
a pain in the back then look to the con-
dition of your urine. 1t is easily done.
Take a glass tumbler and fill it with
urine. after it has stood "A hours; if it
has sediment. if it is milky or cloudy,
il it is pale or discolored, stringy or
ropy, your kidneys and bladder are in
a dangerous condition and need i'm
mediate attention, or the consequences
may prove fatal.
DR.. David Kennedy's. Favorite Rem
edy is the one medicine that really
cures all diseases of the kidneys, liver,
bladder and blood, rheumatism, dys-
pepsia and chronic constipation, and it
vii. take you but a short trial to con-
vince yourself of its wonderful cura-
tive power.
G. F. Sammer of No. 400 Tioga
street. Syracuse, n. Y, in a recent let
ter says:
Il was afflicted for years with severe
pains in my back and kidneys. l tried
many doctors and many medicines, but
got no relief; for over two years ]
scarcely had a good nights rest on ac-
count of hackache in a most distressing
form. 1 bought a bottle of DIR. David
Eennedy's Favorite Remedy and COM
menced to use it, and l must say l
never imagined l should find such 4
wonderful cure. Why 1 feel like a
young man again in spite of my 50
years"
