ity reports for some hours, the name
OF John l.. Zimmerman, of Springfield,
was not presented for the gubernato-
rial nomination. and every nomination
on the state ticket including Mayor
Tom l.. Johnson for governor. was
made by acclamation. Il
The following ticket was nominated:
Governor Tom L. Johnson, Of
Cleveland.
Lieutenant governor - Frank B.
Niles. OF Toledo.
Attorney general - Frank S. Mon
nett. of Columbus.
State treasurer - " ]. Dahl, of
Washington Courthouse.
Auditor-Charles A. Kloeb, of Wap-

Commissioner of schools. II. So
christ, of Ottawa.
Member board of public works-W.
=. Jones, OF IrontoH.
Supreme judge-E. j. Dempsey, Of
Cincinnati.
John II. Clarke. of Cleveland. was
endorsed for United States senator.
The platform reads:
Assembled in convention at Colum-
bus, preparatory to the state election
of 1903, we, the Democrats Of Ohio. re-
affirming the declaration on national
issues in our platform of 1902, adopted
at Sandusly, hereby renew our ale
glance to the Democratic party of the
nation and again avow our devotion
to the principles of its last national
platform. We accordingly condemn CO.
lonialism and Imperialism, denOunce
trusts and trust fostering tariffs, repu-
diate government by injunction, and
oppose financial monopoly, together
with every other legalized monopoly
and legalized privilege. Adhering to
these principles of the Kansas City
platform, we repeat our condemnation
of all efforts TO renounce or ignore
them"
While the platform contains over
1000 words. the above paragraph is the
only reference to national issues. The
people are asked to determine whether
all state interests are to be sacrificed
for the reelection of Hanna as senator.
Until United States senators are re-
quired by amendment of the federal
constitution to be elected by popular
vote, nominations of candidates for
United States senator, it is declared,
should be made by state convention.
Next to the commanding presence Of
Johnson was the part of Clarke in the
convention. He made two mastery
speeches, one presenting the name Ct
johnson and the other in accepting the
senatorial nomination. Mr.. Clarke inti-
mated that he would ask Senator
Hanna for joint debates during the
campaign. A spirited campaign is
promised.
With the single exception of sena-
torial endorsements. the Johnson men
controlled the convention as finally as
the district and committee meetings.
The convention was as distinctly with
Bryan on national as with Johnson on
state issues. The speeches Of both
Temporary Chairman Saltzgaber and
Permanent Chairman Cooke 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 it enemies"
The result Of the convention leaves
the state committee is to 3 in the
hands of the Bryan-Johnson element
for next year, when delegates TO the
Democratic national convention are to
be selected.
