Kimmerle of Cassopolis, for governor over Stanley E. Uarkhill of Owosso. the only other candidate. were features of the demo- cratic state convention held here to- day.

 The resolution asking for the fnves- ttgation of National Chairman Tag gart, was presented to the convention by Chairman Fowler of the resolutions committee after the platform had been read. E. O. Wood of Flint. former chairman of the state central commit tee, was on his feet as soon as the resolution had been read with a mo- ton that it be laid on the table. The motion was unanimously carried
 The resolutions say: Evils under the form of combinations and trusts. which have so shocked the moral con science of the nation in the last few years are a direct outcome of class Legislation by the republican party. conferring privileges on corporations at the expense of the common people A continuance of such legislation is now threatened by the many bills of like character, as for instance, the ship subsidy bill and inadequate remedial laWs enacted by the recent congress showing that there is no honest pur A00~0 cAA tAAS part Ol the republican party to relieve the people from the evils thus cast on them by this unjust legislation Their affiliations with the classes thus favored make it absolutely impossible to expect relief from repub Hcan sources
 The platform cites the rejection of the propositions of Senator La Toilette with regard to railroad legislation as proof of these assertions.
 The endorsement of Wn. ]. Bryan is as follows: Fully believing in the honesty, integrity and wisdom of Wm. J. Bryan, and that under his leadership the people would receive relief from the many ills above referred to. we commend him to the people of the United States as candidate for presi- dent in 1908"
 The resolutions further favor the nomination of all candidates by direct vote; the nomination and election of United States senators by direct vote; a passenger rate of not more than two cents mile in the lower peninsula. and three cents in the upper peninsula: the elimination of ths use of the cross before each candidate voted for, and the enactment of laws making it a criminal offense for members of the legislature to accept railroad passes
