The name of John l.. Zimmerman
Springfield, was not presented for the
gubernatorial nomination.
The Zimmerman forces attempted
to prevent the endorsement of the SEN
atorial candidate but were defeated
by 446 to 211.
On naming a man for senator, the
Johnson men were divided among
themselves. Mayor Johnson and ex-
Congressman Lentz have been very
close personally and politically for
years. But the most intensely bitter
feeling existed between them yester-
day, at least on the part of Lentz
who openly accused Johnson with ia
voring for senator a man who had
voted against Bryan. Zimmerman had
intended voting for John II. Clarke,
Johnson candidate for senator, as they
say reported their conversation views
but when Lentz opened the fight on
Johnson on the senatorial candidate,
Zimmerman men resumed their OBJ
structive tactics and voted for Lentz
for senator, thus driving Johnson men
to a second ballot. when they succeed
ed in having Clarke endorsed.
The convention was as distinctly
with Bryan on national as with John
son on state issues.
The. speeches of both temporary
Chairman Saltzgaber and Permanent
Chairman ]. II. Cooke insisted that If
the democratic party is to change its
policy to suit the times the change
must be made by friends of the party
and not by it's enemies.
The vote on substituting the minor
ity report for the majority report re-
suited in 211 ayes, 466 nays. This
was the first test in the convention on
roll call between the Johnson and
Zimmerman men. The majority re-
port on rules, with provision for the
endorsement of a candidate for sena-
tor wasthen adopted, after the conf
mittee on resolutions reported the
platform which was adopted as fol-
lows:
Assembled in convention i'm Column
bus preparatory to the state election
of 1908, we, the democrats reafTirming
the declaration on national issues OF
our platform of 1902 adopted at San
dusky. hereby renew our allegiance TO
the democratic party of the nation and
again vow our devotion to the prin-
cipals of its last national platform. We
accordingly condemn colonialism and
imperialism, denounce trusts and trust
fostering tariffs, repudiate government
by injunction and oppose financial
monopoly and special privilege. Ad-
herring to these principles ofthe Kansas
City platform we repeat our condem-
nation OF all efforts to renounce or ig-
more them"
While the platform contains over
1000 words, the foregoing opening
paragraph is the only reference to ma
tional issue. The platform includes:
Until the United States senators
are required by amendment of the fed
eral constitution to be elected by
popular vote, nominations of candi-
dates for United States senator should
be made by state conventions"
William Jennings Bryan, by special
resolution, is invited to speak in Ohio
in support of these declarations of
principles.
G. NJ. Saltzgaber, the temporary
chairman, said in part:
I'VE raised the banners which shall
have inscribed upon them, War
against tariff iniquities, and repub-
licans who love honor and justice will
fight with us and for us. Three-fifths
Of the voters of Ohio are honestly OPP
posed to a continuation of the wicked
favors granted to beneficiaries under
tariff laws. Those laws are diamet-
REALLY and everlastingly opposed 10
the democratic doctrine-to the cher
ished American doctrine-of equal
rights. Convince the people that you
are in earnest and will carry this one
reform into effect, and on that alone
the majority will sweep you into
power.
why should they continue to vote
with Mr. Hanna? Nineteen-twentieths
of the voters of Ohio are also right
eously opposed to Mr.. Hanna's ship
