0H|0'S CONVENTION
Chairman Charles Dick of
Akron Advises as to What
G. o. P. Should Do.

Associated Press 10 The Evening Times.
Akron, Ohio, Aug. 25.-In an inter-
view given to newspaper men, United
States Senator Charles Dick, who is
also chairman of the republican state
executive committee of Ohio. outlined
his position with reference to the
coming republican state convention.
Senator Dick declares in favor of the
making of platform by the conven-
tion in committee of the whole in
which all issues are to be debated and
without the Intervention of a COM
mittee on resolutions. AS to the issue
of the endorsement of the two Ohio
senator's. Senator Dick says he is
willing that two resolutions shall be
presented to the convention, one en-
dOrsing and the other censuring the
senators and the delegates choosing
between them. The administration of
President Roosevelt and the work of
congress, he says, will be heartily
and strongly indorsed unanimously.
Going further, the senator declares
in favor of a change in the rules of the
party organization and suggests that
the committee on rules bring in a rule
providing for the election of the chair
man of the state executive committee
by the convention itself in the same
manner that candidates for state Of
ficers are named.
The senator continues:
II do not believe that putting hides
on the free list Is a great political
issue in Ohio, nor am I concerned be-
cause of personal and unfair attacks
upon me, prompted by those who
would sacrifice republican principles,
the welfare of the country and of our
party to their own selfish interests.
! am. however, willing to have this
question submitted to the convention
for determination along with other
questions, national or state, upon
which it is presumed or contended
that the republicans of the state are
divided. Let the convention, which is
thoroughly representative. and the
highest authority in the state, decide
upon each and every question about
which there may be any controversy
whatever"

PRIMARIES TO BE HELD Monday
PRIMARIES TO BE. HELD AGNDAy

Birmingham, Ala, Aug 25.-The
political campaign which has kept AL
ALBANIA stirred up more or less since
the first of the year came to an end
today. Monday next the state prim-
airy will be held. AS the state is over
whelmingly democratic the selections
at the primary will be equivalent to
election.
The plan adopted by the state demo-
cratic executive provides that the sue
cessors to the two present United
States senator's shall be chosen at the
primary, and also makes provision for
the selection of two alternate senators,
who are to be appointed by the gov
ernor in the event that Senator Nor
gan and Pettus, or their successors,
should die or resign. This plan was
due chiefly to the advanced age of the
two senators. 1t Is a new departure
in state politics, and the adoption of
the idea has called forth consi B.. able
criticism from the press and ublic
men, many of whom characterize It as
an effort to fill dead mems shoes"
before the men wearing those shoes
have died.
Senators Morgan and Pettus are
unopposed for reelection, but for the
two alternate senatorships the aspir-
ants are as follows: Former Governor
Joseph F. Johnston of Birmingham,
former Governor William C. Oates of
Montgomery, former Congressma
Richard H. Clarke of Mobile, form.
Attorney General W. C. Fits of Mo
bile. Congressman John H. Bankheat
of Fayette, former Congressman Jesse
+. Stallings Of Birmingham, and
John B. Knox of Admission, president
of the last state constitutional con-
vention.
The paramount issue is both the
race for senator and the contest for
governor is the regulation of railroad
rates. The fight for governor is an
interesting one, the two rival candi-
dates being B. B. Conner, president of
the state railroad commission and a
prominent farmer and cotton mill own
er. who is the leader of the radical
rate reform element, and Lieutenant
Governor R. NJ. Cunningham, who rep
resents the conservative forces.
Conner is demanding the election of
legislature in sympathy with his ideas,
while DR.. Cunningham asserts that he
will not attempt to dictate the selec-
tion of Legislature. but will not
hesitate if elected to tell the law
makers what he thinks they should
do in the matter of rate regulation.
The aspirants for lieutenant gov
ernor are Col. Henry B. Gray of Birm-
ingham, Emmett O. Neil of Florence,
former federal district attorney under
President Cleveland and State Senator
D. J. Meador of Marengo county.
Contests are on for auditor, chief
justice and associate justice, state
railroad commissioners, and commits
sioner of agriculture.
There appears to be no opposition to
Col. Alex. NJ. CARRIER of Talladega for

shaping his affairs so as to spend sew
eral weeks in America this fall. Mr..

joys an intimate acquaintance with

United Irish league of Great Britain,
of which he is president. Mr.. O'Con-
nor has been identified with the Irish
cause for many years and as is quite
natural under the circumstances there
are many in public life who are his
bitter opponents. But there is none
to gainsay his wide personal popular
ity or his fame as parliamentarian
and journalist. 1t is said of him that
he has written history, fiction. essays,
political science and biography with
equal fascination and charm. He was
the founder of the London Star. Sun,
Weekly Sun, NJ. A. P.., T. P.'s Weekly
and P. T. o.. the latter being his latest
venture. For many years he is said
to have written an average of 100000
words annually, which is equivalent to
several volumes.
Mr. O'Connor will be accompanied to
America by his wife. who is almost
as we'll known as himself. Mrs.
O'Connor is a Texas woman. She is
brilliant playwright. and when OH
the stage was charming actress.
AS a hostess she also is celebrated,
and those who are members of the
circle of friends who gather at the
entertainments at the O'Connor home
in Chelsea esteem themselves FORUM
