The johnson program was carried out
completely. After the opposition had
been obstructing the proceedings with
minority reports for some hours the
name of John L. Zimmerman of Spring
field was not presented for the guberna
torial nomination and then every nomi
nation in the ticket was made by accla-
nation without opposition. Even after
the chair announced that the name of
Tom L. Johnson was the only one be-
fore the convention for governor there
was some dissenting Zimmerman votes
on the motion to make the nomination
unanimous but the Zimmerman men
quit after the selections for governor
and senator were made. Still the oppo-
sition by various obstructive movements
kept the convention in continuous seS-
sion for about seven hours.
NJ. E. ingalls, of Cincinnati had been
endorsed by the Hamilton county dele
cation for senator and was the choice
of the Zimmerman men, but ingalls,
and the unseated Hamilton county dele
gates although in the city did not attend
the convention.
John H. Clarke, who will canvass the
| state with Mayor johnson and other
Democratic candidates, has been Il
prominent attorney at Youngstown, for
many years, but he is now located in
Cleveland, which city has four promin-
ent candidates, the Republican as well
as the Democratic candidate for senator
and governor Next to the commanding
presence of Johnson, was the part of
Clarke in the convention, he made two
mastery speeches, one presenting the
name of Johnson and the other in ac-
cepting the senatorial nomination. At
ter the convention many delegates said
his first speech nominated Clarke as
well as johnson. In his second speech
Clarke intimated that he would ask
Hanna for joint debates during the cam
paign and that caused a great demon
StratiOn.
| Ex-Representative Krank R.Niles, run
ming mate of Johnson for lieutenant
governor is also said to be speaker
who will contribute largely to the dis
cussion of pending issues.
With the single exception of the sena-
torial endorsement the Johnson men
controlled the convention as firmly as
the district and committee meetings.
The convention was distinctly with
Bryan on national as with Johnson on
state issues.
The speeches of both Temporary
Chairman Saltsgaber and Permanent
Chairman j. H Gioeke insisted that If
the Democratic party is to change its
policy to suit the times the change must
be made by the friends of the party and
not by its enemies.
The result of the convention leaves the
party organization Is to 3 in the hands
| of the Bryan-Johnson element for next
years convention when delegates TO the
1 Democratic national convention are to
be selected.

norman, the defeated candidate for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomination
gave out statement in which
he says Tom L. Johnson won the
nomination by illegally unseating the
rightful delegations from Hamilton, Mi
ami and Seneca counties. L would have
been willing" said Mr.. Zimmerman, TO
have gone before the people of Ohio on
the platform presented by the minority
committee but I could never stand On
the one framed by my opponent"
