Of steubenville, Ohio, who was recently nom
mated for Congress 10y the Democrats of the
XVIth Ohio District. at the convention held at
Bellaire. has declined to make the race. and
Ills statement in connection with his card for
mally declining the nomination is decidedly
novel and sensational He not only declines the
nomination. but says he cannot support the
national ticket. because of the standing of
Judge Alton r. Parker on the trust question.
Mr.. Undertakes declinatiOn was made pub
lie to-day. and It has created sensation among
Democrats throughout Ohio. who see in it posi-
bilities seriously affecting their chances in the
campaign.
A committee called on Mr.. Timberlake and en-
deavored TO have him change his mind but he
not only still declined. but gave the committee
in strong words further reasons for not run
ming. He said that a small business man
he had experienced the effect of the trusts upon
trade, and he was convinced that Judge Parker
was at least favored by the large corporations
and probably might be assisted by them in his
campaign.
The Congressional committee has given up
nope or inducing Mr.. Undertake TO continue on
me ticket, and will hold meeting in a few days
TO select a man whose views will not be affected
by the attitude of the Presidential nominee

with little or no enthusiasm. This has been
especially true in agricultural communities. In
many parts Of the State from FIVE 70 twenty
five Democrats to the precinct Of the Bryan
stamp are sore. OF course. we do not claim that
all these Democrats. or say the majority OF
them. will bolt the Democratic ticket. but their
feeling indicates the lack OF enthusiasm with
which the nomination OF Parker was received.
Moreover find Gold Democrats that are
discontented because the platform contains
nothing on the money question. Bryan was the
