CARBERDOWNS
TOM JOHNSON

Columbus, Aug. 2t.-Congressman
Harvey L. CARRIER Is the undisputed
leader of the Ohio Democracy. He
proved his title to leadership when
he rode rough shod over Mayor Tom
johnson, of Cleveland, in the selection
Of the state committee. CARRIER con-
trolled II of the Il votes, and to-
morrow will be reelected chairman
of the state committee.
Pattison's long illness and death,
gave to CARRIER. his first lieutenant,
the opportunity to defeat the machine.
Mayor Johnson took his defeat
gamely and said that the time was
not far distant when he would make
the party organization in Ohio. The
mayor had planned to capture the
state Democratic convention and GUST
Chairman CARRIER.
TOMS PLANS GONE.
Today's defeat makes it impossible
for him to accomplish any of his
plans. The state convention opened
at 7:3O o'clock tonight in Memorial
Hall Judge b. F. Mccain, of Fay
ton, temporary chairman, in his key
note speech, never once referred to
Johnson An eloquent stand for the
principles of Pattison, and an elo-
puent stand for Bryan were the feat
ures. In his peroration, where he
claimed as efficient presidential tim
Der, Judson Harmon, General McMa
hon and other Ohio Democrats, he
then declared Bryan to be not only
efficient but the man of the hour
CARRIER is now in position to die
tate who shall be the nominee on
the Democratic state ticket and If
he has a candidates slate, as many
suspect, it will be ratified by the con-
Vention.
Samuel A. Hoskins, his choice for
the head of the ticket, will be NOM
mated for sure. Newton Bunnel will
be nominee for state dairy and food
commissioner unless the cards are
shuffled over night. j. F. Derther and
r. J. Diegel will be making a large
fight. Should by any chance Oliver
be defeated McGovern might be nam
ed.
BERNARD BEATEN.
Lewis Bernard and his delegation
from Cincinnati were given their
humps today by the state committee
and the committee on credentials be-
ing finally ousted in favor of the del
egation headed by Mayor Dempsey.
ENDORSE BRYAN.
Remember the principles of Patti
son" was the slogan Judge McCann
gave to the Ohio Democracy. He de-
clared that this slogan would effec-
lively affect the Republican battle cry,
of stand by the president"
McCann outlined attacks that will
be made in the coming campaign on
Republican state officials and charged
that even Governor Harris had, shown
himself to be under the domination
of the political organization. He ac-
cused President Roosevelt of incon-
sistency and the Republican leaders
of the country of insincerity.
The crowning feature of the speech
however, was the peroration in which
Bryan was pictured as the peoples
ideal. The delegates stood on chairs,
waved handkerchiefs and hats and
yelled long and loud.
At the close ex-Congressman Lentz
addressed the convention for nearly
an hour.
Allen w. Thurman, son of the late
senator, tonight announced himself
candidate for secretary of state.
