CARROLL COUNTY
DEMOCRATS MEET
FULL COUNTY TICKET PLACED IN
NOMINATION..
Only One Contest-Conventlon Was
Enthusiastic-The Ticket Is
Considered Strong One.

Carrollton, July 29-The Carroll
county Democratic convention was
called to order at 1880 p. m. today for
the purpose of nominating a full Dem
ocratic county ticket. The convention
was dominated by Mayor VIM. Maffett
Of Carrollton, the leading Democrat OF
the county.
The convention was called to order
by President Frank Harsh of Harris
burg, and Ed Lawler Of Center town
ship was made secretary.
The only contest Of the day devel-
oped for commissioner, and the nom
ination- was easily captured by Edward
Boggs of Harrison township, who beat
John II. States Of Center by vote of
25 to
Ex-Auditor Robert Brothers, who
followed Tinlin, Republican, in Office
and made II possible by his expose of
Tinlin's method OF collection fees for
the county TO recover quite sum ille-
gally drawn from the treasury, was
rendered the nomination for auditor
but refused to make the run for bust
ness reasons.
Herman Klotz of Malvern, deputy
auditor under Robert Brothers, was
rendered the nomination for probate
judge, but as he had already made
preparations to tes ch school and could
not make the necessary canvass for
votes, declined the honor.
The convention was quite enthusias-
tic and good will prevailed, every one
seeming to think that strong ticket
had been put in the field, and one
which ought TO win. No resolutions
were offered or passed. The ticket is
as follows:
Represontatives--James A. Lawrence
of Lee township.
Probate judge-G. w. Speaker OF
Magnolia.
Auditor-w j. whalen of sherods-
vile.

LAWS VALIDITY |
is QUESTIONED
TEST OF STATUTE FoR6lDDINe
RAILROADS TO COMBINE.
In Suit Growing Out of the Absorp-
tion Of other Lines-May Reach
Supreme Court.

Columbus, July 30.-The constitu-
tionality of the Jaw prohibiting paral-
lei railroads from consolidating is to
be tested in the courts of Ohio.
The natural consequence of this liti-
CATION is that the officers of the Hook
ing Valley railway are on the ragged
edge as to result, for they fully realize
that great interests are at stake for
that road To all practical effects the
Hooking Valley has absorbed the Ohio
Central lines and the X. & M. road,
which parallel the II. V. 1t has been
known for several years that the Hook
ing Valley officials controi the other
two roads, but many of the lower Off
cials have been kept separate.
J. The merging of the three properties
has gone to the extent that all of the
loaded trains run north over the Hook
ing Valley and all of the empties run
south over the Ohio Central lines. By
that switching of trains the minimum
grades are encountered for the heavy
trains on the " H., while the maximum
down grades are found on the o. c..
line. In that manenr engines can haul
larger trains at largely decreased
expense. 1t is said that empties on the
o. c. lines over a mile and half in
length can be pulled by single en-
gine.
The litigation was started in Gallia
county, where some person had a
grievance against the roads for alleged
discrimination, and forced the prose-
cutting attorney to take action.
1t is understood that the case will
firally land in the supreme court for a
final decision. Should the decision be
adverse to the road, it will be far
reaching in it's effect, for number of
roads in the state have violated the
provisions of the law The final YER
dict will be watched with great inter-
est, not only by railroads, but by the
people at large.

Police QU|ETEO THE
ZIONIST CONGRESS
SUNDAYS DEBATE PROCEEDED
IN ORDERLY MANNER.
East African Colonization Scheme
Dropped-Adhere to Original Pro-
gram Of Return to Palestine.

Basel. Switzerland, July 31.--The po-
lice Sunday took strenuous action to
stop the -rioting which has marred the
Zionist congress since its beginning,
and all spectators were excluded,
while police officers were placed, on
duty at various points inside the hall.
The debate on the East African reso-
luton then" continued in an orderly
manner, all persons being given an op-
portunity to be heard.
Finally, after debate that lasted all
of the day, a resolution, was adopted
which win effectively end any moro
agitation among the Zionists as body
for the East African or other coloniza-
tion schemes, 1t provides for the ad-
herepce to the original Basel program,
which asked for the establishment Of a
Jewish state in Palestine. All other
colonization schemes are to be rejected,
and the resolution winds up by thank.
ing the British government warmly for
its proffer of lands In East Africa. The
hope lis also expressed that England
will aid in supplying the needed funds
for the new Jewish state in Palestine.
hTe adoption of the resolution pre-
cipitated warm discussion, during
which Israel Zangwill took the floor
and denounced Max Nordau as a
traitor to the cause of the Jews. Three
of the leading advocates of the coloni-
zation scheme tainted during the ses-
sion, being overcome with their emo
tions.
II is believed that the outcome OF to-
days session will be a split in the
zionists, and that the territorialists
will now form an organization of their
own. re 81. .,p ,.n-
