Ohio Convention Held in Ad-
vance of National Meet
ing at Columbus.
HITS DIVORCE LAWS
Declares Against Class leqis-
Iation and infringement
of Rights.

Columbus, Ohio, July 14.-Today
opened up lively for the prohibition
lists, with delegations from the various
states arriving and being escorted to
their respective hotels by band head
by gaily decorated water wagon
drawn by four milk white horses. At
tached to the rear was mule bearing
a big placard Missouri, Two-thirds
Dry
The state convention opened at $3.50,
but there was more interest in the ar
rival of national delegates than in the
state meeting.
Lost Honor of Presiding.
H. L. Peeke of Sandusky lost the
honor of presiding as permanent chair
| man of the state meeting because of
his savage attack on the churches and
! anti-saloon league and against woman
suffrage in his keynote speech yester-
! day. The refusal of Seaborn Wright
of Georgia to allow his name to come
| before the national convention for
president left the delegates very much
! at sea as to candidate, but certainly
not for lack of material
New BOOms Regular. .~
! new boom makes its appearance
every two or three hours seemingly
from the inclination among the dele
gates already on the ground to seek
some material which has not been
talked of much
| Doubt own Doctrines.
The platform adopted by the state
convention states while il thinks en-
Iorcement of prohibition is not possi-
with the law" the prohibitionists
should cooperate with other temper
ance forces Ito get local temperance
conditions" The republican and DEM
/ ocratic parties are attacked for failing
to recognize the liquor question as the
dominating question.
Oppose Infringement.
The platform declares against class
legislation, infringing on popular
rights. and favors injunction laws Civ.
ing justice TO all concerned; initiative
: and referendum: election of United
States senators by direct vote of the
people; restriction of immigration
stringent divorce laws; suffrage based
on intelligence and morality. A mo
tion TO add without regard to sex
TO the latter was lost. .
A full state ticket was nominated
beaded by Aaron S. Watson of Ada
ifor governor.

CAMPAIGN; PUBLICITY ASSURED

ct and will use all honorable means
within my power to secure his election
The democratic platform expresses the
principles for which the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and its officers have
worked, and, of course, in supporting
principles we will support and fight
for the candidates who are pledged to
carry them into effect.
"All our affiliated organizations have
been instructed to work for justice and
right, and in their meetings they have
declared for the principles that the
democrats have embodied in their
platform. The labor organizations have
been instructed to support these dec
larations, and of course that means we
will work for the election of the men
who stand for our principles.
Believes Democrats VIII Win.
Il have never experienced a defeat
in any undertaking, never hoped for
ing for an idea or principle that l firm
ly believed TO be right and just | be-
lieve that in this fight we now have
on hand that we will win, and l shall
work for Mr.. Bryan's election and for
the ratification of the principles that
we have advocated as officers and as
an organization"
Labor Likes the Platform.
Il am well satisfied with the demo.
cratic platform as promulgated at the
Denver convention, and will do every.
thing in my power to ratify that plat.
form. The officials of the American
Federation of Labor seem satisfied with
the Denver platform and will support
it. The republican party has repudia
ted the demands of the working peo
pie, and in that action has taken a
stand for injustice and unfair treat
ment of labor. We do not ask for any
special privileges, but do ask for jus
tice. We did not get any impression
in that line from the republican plat
form, but the democrats went on rec
ord for the fair thing"
