PLATFORM
ADOPTED AT DEMOCRATIC
STATE CONVENTION
UTTERANCES
Upon the Vital Issues Of
the State.

The complete text Of the Ohio DEM
ocratic state platform adopted We'd
nesday Is as follows:
"The Democratic party of Ohio In
convention assembled on this 25th day
of May, 1904, in the city Of Columbus,
o., while firmly adhering to all living
Democratic principles, as time and
again declared by Democratic conven-
tions, recommend that the formal an
nunciation of purely national questions
be referred to the national convention
soon to convene at st. Louis.
"On state issues the Democratic
party of Ohio offers the people relief
from the political trust which has long
controlled every department of the
state government. Its owners have
grown arrogant, reckless and corrupt,
secure, they think, in the union Of pre-
datory forces against the people who
are not oranized in their own defense.
"They have multiplied Offices to
make places for their followers, in
creased salaries and otherwise swollen
the public expenses to unprecedented
figures, devising new ways to tax tha
people to meet them, and have failed
to redeem their promise to enact law
prodiving compensation for county Off
GERS commensurate with services ren-
dered.
They have gerrymandered congress
sional, legislative and even judicial
districts, to make it harder for the peo-
pie to dislodge them; abolished spring
elections for local officers with the like
purpose, and by restrictions of the offs
cial ballot they have prevented effec-
tive union of citizens at the polls.
They have changed the government
of the public schools in order to Sc.
cure tnem as their prey, and have de-
prived townships and municipalities Of
the right of home rule. They have
laid plans to rob the state of it's canals,
which they would have already car
rico out but for the Democratic votes
in the general assembly, and which
they will surely accomplish If the peo-
pie. knowing their designs, do not cast
them out. The Democratic party prom-
ises, II intrusted with authority, to res
duce public expenses and taxation, to
save the property Of the state, and I'd
restore government by the people, as
designed by its founders.
1--WE favor the improvement of public
roads throughout the state, and COM
mend the efforts of the Democratic
minority of the last legislature in that
behalf.
1.-THE Ohio delegation is directed TO
cast the entire ~ ,o,es In the national
convention as the majority Of those
present and votoing shall decide, when
such majority shall determine that
course to be advisable"
I'VE hereby pledge our utmost effort
to bring about such legislation as will
compel the railroad companies operat-
ing in Ohio to carry passengers for the
uniform rate Of two cents per mile"

AKRONITES EASY
TWO FAkERS WORKED A CLEVER
GAME ON THEM.
One Confessed Judgment to the Other
and Constable Auetioned of the
Phoney JeweIry.

Akron Times-Democrat: A new, and
very clever game in the faker's profess
sion was worked In this city, Wednes-
day afternoon, by two men, who repre-
sented themselves to be a lawyer and
merchant from Cleveland.
Abrams" the merchant went be-
fore Justice Ira L. Nash and stated
that he wished to confess judgment
for S1S3 to "Wertheimer," the attor-
ney. The judgment was rendered by
confession, and Constable Smith levied
on a stock of cheap jewelry, in pos
session of Abrams. The two men, ac-
companied by the constable, then took
their stand at the corner of Main and
West Market streets, wnere they dis
posed of large amount of the jewelry.
The sale was thus made by a constable,
and passers-by believing that every.
thing would go for nearly any price, bit
and no trouble was experienced in dis
posing Of the stock.
BY simply paying about $500 court
fees, the takers secured the constable
and the sale OF their goods was given
the appearance Of regular constable
sale, instead of one OF the most clever
games yet attempted in the fakir line
in Akron.
Chief Durkin, in speakin of the
affair, said that 1t was one of the
smoothest games in the taking line he
has ever heard Of He said that there
are people who hang around the city
waiting for constable sales, when they
can buy goods for very small sum OF
money, and that all of them without a
doubt picked up the opportunity Of OBJ
tanning a supply of what appeared to
be good jewelry for nearly nothing al
q constable sale.

Washington, d. c., May 26.-The
state department has received dis
patch from United States Consul Gen
eral Gummere at Tangier, Morocco,
in which he says that the situation
there is very unsatisfactory. The sui
tan, he says, is taking great interest
in obtaining the release of the Ameri-
can, Pericardis and his British stepson
and has directed the authorities at
Tangier to act under the orders of the
American and British representatives
there in endeavoring to effect the re-
release of the captives. Consul Gen
eral Gummere adds, however, that their
work in this direction has been fruit

er Talks.
In some sections where elections
have gone dry under the BrannocR
law, the fellows who find life impos-
sIble without booze have been plan-
ming to establish social club houses
where liquor could be dispensea.
Wayne B. Wheeler superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League at Colum-
bus, says that the law is well fortified
against this. In an interview he said:
THE proposed plan of the brewers
will be shattered when they try to get
1t into operation. When an election
is held under the Brannock law, 1t
will be unlawful, thirty days thereaf-
ter, "for any person, personally or
by agent, within the limits OF such
district, to sell, furnish, or give away
Intoxicating liquors to be used as a
beverage; or to keep a place where
such liquors are kept for sale, to be
given away or furnished for beverage
purposes
"The law specifically exempts any
person, who in his own private DWELL
ing, gives away liquor for beverage
purposes. No person can even give
away liquor as a beverage except in
his own private dwelling, and ne cans
not give 1t away there If his dwelling
becomes a place of public resort. Tho
brewer who tries to evade the Bran-
mock law by this proposed scheme will
be arrested every time he does So"

New York, May 26.-The reduction
of the working forces Of the railroads

THINKS THE RUSSIANS
FIRED DELIBERATELY.

London. Oct. pa dispatch from
Hull to the Times says that the corre-
spondent, as the result of his investi-
cation, is of opinion that the attack on
the British trawlers by the Russian
Second Pacific squadron was a delib-
crate act. perpetrated with knowledge
of its character.
The correspondent says the fact that
the four first ships of the squadron
steamed calmly by "disposes of the
fiction that the Russian officers had an
that 1t is ridiculous to suppose that
by Firms, could have mistaken the
trawlers for anything but fishing
boats
Besides" the correspondent says,
such excuses as have been advanced on
behalf of the Russians do not even al
lege ignorance; they suggest some mis-
take or a menacing movement by the
trawlers. Then the firing was from
more than one ship and was COM
menced and stopped by orders
Finally, the correspondent contends
that the whole affair is compatible
with the idea of a drunken commander
yielding to the temptation to have a
little fun among British fishermen
who are nothing more than peasants
in the eyes of a well-born Russian,
and, according to the ideas of a Rus
sian officer, especially one under the
influence of vodka or champagne, a
few roubles would settle the killing of
a, poor brute of q. peasant"

BRYAN SAYS WE NEED
NO LARGE ARMY

South Bend. Ind, Oct. 25.-W. j.
Bryan ended the first day of his sec
ond tour of Indiana here tonight. In
a speech at Plymouth to-day, he said:
we do not need a large army If
we deal with the laboring man as a
citizen, patriot and q brother, and
why should we deal with him as a pub
lie enemy in time of peace? Those who
labor on the farm and in the factory
produce the nations wealth. and in
time of war these fight the nations
battles. II a laboring man is willing
to stand behind a musket and risk his
life in his nations defense. he ought
not to be put at the other end of the
musket when he asks for justice to
himself, wife and children. If he vol
unteers when his country needs him,
his claims ought not to be ignored
when he needs remedial legislation at
his country's hands,"

advisory board tonight says that the

report, together with the course pursu-
ed by the board in its several weekly
meetings was unanimously endorsed

continues:
The general situation was thor
