John H. Clarke of Cleveland was indorsed for
United States Senator.
The Johnson programme carried out COM
pletely to-day in the Democratic State Conven-
tion. Although the opposition obstructed the
proceedings for some hours. the name of John
L. zimmerman, of Springfield, was not pre-
sented for the nomination for Governor, and
every nomination the State ticket, including
Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland for Gov
ernor finally made by acclamation
The opposition by various obstruction tactics
kept the convention in continuous session for
about seven hours, While there were many out
bursts and scenes of disorder the only fight
that worried the Johnson managers on the
Senatorship. on naming the candidate for Sen
ator, the Johnson supporters were divided
among themselves. Mayor Johnson and ex-
congressman JOhn j. LentZ nave been close
personal and political friends for years but a
most intensely bitter feeling was evident be-
tween them to-day, Lentz openly accusing john
son with favorng for Senator a man who had
voted against Bryan
Zimmerman men had intended voting fer John
II. Clarke, the Johnson candidate for Senator
they said he represented their conservative
views but when Lentz opened a fight on John
son on the candidate for Senator. the opposition
voted for Lentz for Senator and divided the
Johnson faction until the second ballot. After
the first ballot, which resulted, Clarke 333
Lentz, 222; Saltzgaber, 125; Baker, H. and Rus
sell, /, the Johnson men made terrific effort
on the floor of the convention to name Clarke
on the second ballot.
Judge F. NJ. Hagins the fellow townsman cf
Zimmerman at Springfield, attacked Johnson
bitterly as one who never favored free silver
and was now lodging his own record by ignoring
national issues and advocating State policies IN
which he did not himself believe. He charged
that while Johnson said there national
issues at stake he insisted the Endorsement
of a candidate for Senator.
While Daugherty pouring forth his in
VectiVes the convention became so demonStra-
tive that his voice utterly drowned. The
chairman. with all his sergeants- at arms could
not restore order until Mayor Johnson himself
arose and appealed to his friends to give
Daugherty a respectful hearing.
After the suppression of the disorder the
ond ballot resulted in the election of Clarke as
follows: Clarke 395; Lentz 2O5; SaItzgaber, 81
Clarke was then called for and delivered a
speech that made the convention more demon
stratiVe than ever
John H. Clarke, who will canvass the State
with Mayor Johnson and other Democratic COM
mittees was q prominent attorney at Youngs-
town Tor many years but he is now in CleVe-
land lie made two mastery speeches, one in pre-
senttng the name of Johnson and the other in
accepting the Senate nomination. Mr. Clarke
intimated that he would ask Senator Hanna for
joint debates in the campaign
fi6roN ,|te-
on national as with Johnson on State issues The
supporters of both Temporary Chairman Saltz-
gamer ana permanent Chairman Goeke insisted
that II the DemoCatic party is to change its mol
ley 10 suit the times, the change must be made
by the friends of the party and not by it's enc
mics
The result OF the convention leaves the State
committee IL % J in the hands of the BRYAN
Johnson element for next year, when delegates
70 the Democratic National Convention are TO
be selected
The platform which was adopted ties the mill
stone OF silver around the necks of Ohio Demo-
gratis Tor another period of chaos. According
to its provision the members of the convention
