HIS PLATFORM NO GOOD

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 1.-The Wiscon-
sin Democratic state convention conclud-
ed its labors this afternoon. Following
is the complete list Of nominations:
Governor-David S Rose. Milwaukee.
Lieutenant Governor-John W Wat
tawa, Kewaukee-
Secretary Of State-Louie A. LANCE,
Fond Du Lac
State Tressurer-Ed L. Luclow, Bara-

Railroad Commissioner-Wiliam A.
Redner, Ashland.
Insurance Commissioner-Wi Fer
Der, New London.
A. F. Warden of Waukesha was IN
animously chosen to succeed himself as
chairman of the state central committee.
The convention smashed many Of the
states that had been prepared early in
the day and still later in a conference
held at noon. One of the sensations Of
the day was an attempt to induce John
W Wattswa, the nominee for lieutenant
governor. TO withdraw from the ticket
because of certain rumors concerning
him Mr. Wattawa refused absolutely
10 entertain the proposition and the con-
ferees set about to fix up a slate for the
remainder of the ticket, which to their
minds would be a winner In this they
were far from being successful, for with
but two exceptions more than one name
went before the convention.
The biggest surprise of the day was the
turning down of q resolution, just be-
fore the convention adjourned. indorsing
the national platform While the dele
gates favored a respectful hearing to its
reading. it was not entertained for an
instant
Just before final adjournment W. H.
Rogers. of Madison, offered the follow
ing resolution:
I'VE, the Democrats Of Wisconsin, in
convention assembled, reafirm our allie
glance to the Democratic party and its
policy as enunciated in its national plat
form
Scarcely had Mr. Rogers finished read
ing the resolution when another dele
gate arose to point of order and stated
that early in the convention it was de-
cided to refer all resolutions to a com
mittee on resolutions. Still another dele
gate made a motion to adjourn. This
was put and adopted with almost IN
animous vote. there being not over two
or three feeble protests. The resolution
therefore was completely ignored. The
convention then at $40 adjourned sine
