RUMPUS
IN DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION

Cincinnati, Aug. l6.-Turbulent scenes
marked the Democratic county conven-
ton yesterday. especially in it's early
stages. The Lewis Bernard wing OF the
local Democracy. which has been in more
or less open revolt against the Mayor
Dempsey following, were whipped TO a
standstill over the selection OF a perma-
nent chairman, and after that the Demp-
seyites had clear and easy sailing
Bernard has long been considered John
r.. McLean's chief local lieutenant and
has also for years been colled by his enc
mics especially an ally OF the Republican
leader, George b. Cox Dempsey led the
local anti-boss cohorts last fall in the
overthrow OF Cox aud his veterans.
Chairman Charles Nobel OF the county
committee, a Bernard man, called the
convention 20 order, and the report OF
the advisory committee was read which
presented the name OF Gideon G. Wilson
for temporary chairman. He quickly put
the motion and declared the report as
carried, Notwithstanding a roar OF noes
and a score of excited men yelling for
recognition on the floor.
They made a nad rush for Chairman
Nobel. who stuck To his post with gavel
i'm hand. The mob surrounded Nobel, sew
eral seiZing him by each arm and wildly
jerking him. Nobel was kicked, pulled,
pushed and jostled all over the platform,
and number OF blows were struck. Put
Bernard out" went up the cry from sew
eral parts OF the hall.
There were but three OF four policemen
there and they rushed 10 the stage, but
the crowd there kept increasing. Some of
the Dempsey people made strenuous efD
forts 10 throw Chairman Nobel out of the
hall bodily, while the Bernard men rush
ed to Nobels assistance, making a gen.
eral mixup.
Dempsey's adherents were shouting out
motions to move the name OF John j.
Molloy substituted for Wilson as chair
man. Nobel finally weakened and enter
tained the motion, also changing the rule
to alloww the recording of the vote by
wards. Molloy was then chosen by vote
of 1S2 TO 106 for Bernard's man. Wilson.
The business of the convention then
went forward with comparatively little
friction
The platform indorses Bryan as the
Democratic leader and Dempsey as
good mayor, demands a Federal plan of
city government. home rule for cities, tax
alton OF corporations, the initiative and
referendum, the merit system in city gov
ernment. the separation of local ard state
and national politics and approved the
recent work OF the Drake committee that
unearthed shortcomings under local Re-
publican rule.
Mayor Dempsey was among the dele
gates at large 10 the state convention.
Nearly all OF the delegates chosen, OF
course, are Dempsey followers or anti
Bernard.

JOSIAH JOHNSON
IS IDENTIFIED
BY RELATIVES

The man who was killed Monday fore
noon or the railroad tracks near Boyden
Heights has been identified as josiah
johnson, a farmer, OF Diamond Hill
The identity was established by George
Heffron, the son-in- law. late yesterday
afternoon. when he visited the under
taking rooms of I. +. Monahan.
Mr.. Heffron said that Mr.. Johnson left
home Monday morning 10 attend the an
nual reunion of Battery II Veterans, at
Boyden Heights. and his failure TO re-
turn home caused his relatives much
perplexity. When they read In the News
Democrat that the dead man had among
his effects a watch repair ticket In the
name of NJ. T.. Johnson, as the missing
man had a daughter of that name, the
supposition that he might be Mr.. John
son was acted upon.
