SENATOR DICK is ON TRIAL
Ohio Republican Convention Will
Pass Upon His Record Today
at Dayton.

DAYTON, o.. Sept. 1o-Seldom have Ohio
republicans shown the interest in an "off
year" convention that was displayed here
today In anticipation of the convention
which assemblies at 4 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon for the nomination OF candidates
for secretary of state, state dairy and food
commissioner, state school commissioner
and members of the board of public works.
However. little has been heard of the can
didates for the various nominations. The
whole interest centers on the United States
senators and their endorsement and the
candidacy OF Senator Dick for reelection
as chairman Of the state executive COM
mittee. Senator Dick was early in the city
and is still confident OF his endorsement
and OF his reelection, although Congress-
man Burton Of Cleveland, who has been
Joined with Hanny, Daugherty in the lead
ership Of the hght against Dick, declared
with great confidence tnat the chairman
would not be reelected
After the contest for the chalrmanship
interest is greatest In the question as to
whether the convention will give equal en-
dorsement TO President Roosevelt and the
two senators In view of the differences of
opinion between them on some matters OF
legislation at Washington last year
The condition throughout is most re-
markable, even for Ohio. where unusual
political complications and combinations
have become well known.

JUDGE LINDsEYFoR GOVERNOR
Originator of JuveniIe Court May he
Nominated by Colorado
Democrats.

DENVER. Colo Sept 10-The demo-
cratic state convention will meet in this
city tomorrow to name a full state ticket
and two candidates for supreme justices.
Former Governor AIva Adams has been
endorsed by number of county conven-
tions for another term as governor, and
the Paterson wing OF the local democracy
has also named him as their choice
County Judge Ben b. Lindsey, who is
known nationally as the originator of the
juvenile cohrt. recently issued statement
announcing his candidacy for the governor
ship. but before that time had been pro-
claiming his choice of Alva Adams as the
man whom the democrats shonr' select
TO lead their ticket Judge Lindsey has a
strong following among the independent
voters, and also is well supported by q
certain element in the democratic party
He has been urged to permit his name tC
20 before the convention tomorrow. but
tonight the report is in circulation that h'
will not agree and that Adams nomination
will be unanimous. However. Judge Lind
sey's friends insist thaf he shall allow then
to nominate him and 10 this end they arr
advocating an endorsement of Adams fol
the United States senatA to succeed Senator
Patterson, whose terftk expires in March
1907. The Lindsey followers believe tha
such an endorsement would be more wei
come to the former governor than th'
nomination for governor. and that he woulC
retire frob the latter race, leaving a cea
field for Lindsey.
Locally there is split In the party
Mayor Robert w. Speef leading one fac
tion and United States Senator Thomas NJ
Patterson heading the other. Each faction
has chosen full deIesation to the stat,
convention, and the contest for seats will
be fought bitterly The Patterson peopl
charge that the speer -fsction. which is tn,
regular organization. has lost caste by rea
son Of alleged suhserylency to the loca
public utility Corporations, but the Spec
people will stand on their claim of beinl
the regular organization of the democrac.
of the city.
The platform, 1t is predicted. will dea
with the action of the supreme court In 1t
relation to the Adams Peabody guberna
torial contest two years ago.

ONLY ONE P0|N7 IN TILED
HOUSE coMMITTEE AGREES ON
PROVISION OF INsPEcTlo II
AMENDMENTS.


Washington, June 14-The question
Of who shall pay the cost of the meat
inspection, the government CT the
packers, is the only one remaining
unsettled by the house committee on
agriculture. All provisions of the in
spection amendment to the agricul
tural appropriation bill have been
agreed to. The committee seems pref
ty evenly divided On the question of
placing the cost.
The sanitary inspection required by
the Beveridge amendment is retained
in the bill with slight notifications.
The secretary of agriculture is given
authority to create his force of in
spectors without reference to the civil
service regulation, this rule to apply
for year.
The label on the cans of food prod
ucts is not to state the date of the
manufacture of the article This is a
change from the Beveridge amend
ment The question of allowing pre-
servatives in meat products has been
left to the discretion of the secretary
of agriculture.
The small butcher and packer are
not to be included within the juris-
dictiOn of the inspection law.
