DERRICK FOR GOVERNOR.
The Republicans of Ohio Reafiirms the
National and State Platforms.
(Bv the Associated Press.)

Columbus, Ohio, May 25.-In
convention almost devoid of striking
features and notable chiefly for the
unanimity which prevailed, the Re
publicans of Ohio today completed the
choice of party candidates for the fall
elections and adopted a platform or
principles covering leading national
issues. The ticket named is as tol-
lows:
Governor-Myron T. Herrick.
Lieutenant Govenor-Andrew L.
Harris.
Judge of the Supreme Court-Wil-
liam c. Davis.
Attorney General-Wade M. Ellis.
State Treasurer-W. S. McKinnon.
Member of the Board of Public
Works-z-William Kirtley.
The platform re-affirms the state
and National platforms of 1904 ana
declares:
1--WE stand by the principles to pro-
lection to American labor and indus
tries. We believe that Congress
should so legislate that American
ships with American sailors Shall car
ry American products over all seas
and through the Panama Canal that
the United States of America is build
ing. The American Navy should be
made and kept equal to every need.
ne amendments W tic NOilSblAuNtOll
are as sacred as the original instru-
ment. The sacredness of the ballot
must be maintained and unjust dis
elimination based directly or Indirect
ly on race, color or previous condi-
ton, must not be tolerated"
President Roosevelt's enforcement
of the laws against trusts is commend
ed. On the rate question the plat
form endorses every effort for the
active enforcement of existing laws
to stop all unjust determinations and
special favors in the form of. railway
rebates. or by any other device, and
we favor such further legislation that
subject at adequate penalties as may
after full investigation seem to the
Republican Congress and administra-
ton wise and conservative"

piverslficatlon Buttons.

Orders for "diversification buttons" of the National Cotton Association are coming in with every mail from every State in the South. We have a large order from the Newton Cotton Mills, Newton, N. c.
 The executive committee of the Texas Bankers Association, at Austin, February s, 1905, which represents all the banks of the State, passed the following resolution, and also in- strueted the secretary to write every banker in the State asking them to subscribe for one hundred or more buttons.
 Whereas, The interest of the en- tire South demands that an organized and systematic effort be made to re- duce the cotton acreage to be planted this year, and for each farmer to adopt diversifieation and the cultural system of growing cotton; therefore be it
 Resolved by the executive commit tee, Texas Bankers Association, that we endorse the work of the National Cotton Association in the plan of or ganizing the cotton farmers, bankers and business men of the South into school precinct meetings for the pur pose of securing pledges for uni form, systematic reduction of acreage and adoption of diversification, and ask the cooperation and support of the business interests Of the South"

A Bankers Oninion-

w. H. Rivers president Of the Texas Bankers Association, in an address at New Orleans, said:
 There is no use denying the fact that the banker in his respective com munity is, or should be, the indus trial safety valve to that community and when he expresses himself on financial matters, the most illiterate and most learned stop to listen, as the bankers of the United States are considered its financiers, and right fully so. When We want to know law, we go to the lawyer; when we want to know medicine, We go to the doctor, and the world is fast finding out that, when they want to learn finances, they must go to the financier.
 "In my opinion, we should pass a resolution expressing in the strongest terms that we believe the only remedy, and a safe remedy. is to re duce the acreage of cotton from 25 to 8 1-3 per cent If this is done, the crop would bring more money than a full crop of cotton. Plant this 33 Is per cent in corn and cane, hay, pota- toes, etc; raise some hogs; let the farmer have his smokehouse and corn crib on his own farm; fatten few beeves and hogs with his surplus corn and hay. let his cotton crop be his surplus crop; send his children to school in place of keeping them at homo all fall and winter picking 5- cent cotton Diversification is the only road to prosperity for the farmer of the South"

RosEBoRoUeH's REASONS
Why the Cotton Acreage of the South
 Should Be Reduced

should Be Reduced.
 W. B. Roseborough, of Senatobia, Miss, gives five good reasons why the cotton acreage for the year 1905 should De reduced. They are:
 l. Cotton acreage should be re- duced in 1905 because a crop of 10,- 100000 bales would sell for $50 per bale, or $500, ,000 whereas a crop of 13,000,000 bales would sell for not more than $30 per bale, or $390,000, 000
 2. Under normal conditions it costs $50 per bale to raise and market cot ton. The cost of raising and market ing 10,000,000 bales leaves a profit of $2O0 eco, 900. The cost of raising and marketing 13,00o,000 bales would leave no profit at S30 per bale. and shClld the price drop to S20 per bale Gas well informed people eontend) would leave loss to the South of s130, 900.
 3. To raise the extra 8 3,000,000 bales requires 6000.000 acres of land Should this 6000, GOO acres be worked in corn it would yield 120,000,000 bushels, worth s60.0000O Should it be planted in peas 1t would yield 90-
 
 Should this pea crop be cut for hay it would furnish 100000 tons, worth $96,0G0,000 Add any one Of these sums to the sum obtained for the 10,- 900 000 bales of cotton and 1t empha- sizes the folly of increased cotton acreage.
 1 To cultivate and gather the crop from 6.000.000 acres planted i'll cotton would cost about $90,000,000. To cul- tiyate and gather the crop from 6,000,- % acres planted in corn would cost about $23,000,000. The 6.000,000 acres sowed in peas would cost for sowing, moving and stacking about $25, ,000, 900. Hence, to plant this 6000, 900 acres in cotton in 1905 means loss to the South Of $t30.000,000: planted in corn means a profit ton cotton and corn1 of S231,0000 GOO; sowed in peas means a profit of s271 100000.
 :, The truth of the above state ments when applied to individual farmers can be proven by object les sons in every county of the cotton growing district The farmer who has sold corn, hay and meat, practi- cally. every year for the last ten is lending money; the farmer who has bought his corn. hay and meat, prac tically every year for the last ten, is borroSsg money-when he can.
