went to Patterson and had a heart L

his friends TO defy the popular will
Mr.. Lea also pointed out that II the
Governor insisted on the members OF
the Committee disobeying the mandate
OF the people that it would mean their
political death and this he ought not
to do. 1t was asking too great a
sacrifice from these men to kill them.
selves politically in order to advance
the cause OF a machine.
II is understood that the Governor
went to thinking very seriously after
Mr.. Lea left him and that for some
time he wavered as to the proper
course to pursue. but Spl Hill and
other machine politicians got his ear
and he once more threw his influence
in favor of tn ebogus plan. The i'm
preston prevails that the bogus plan
will be adopted by the committee, but
1t is impossible to ascertain definitely
what will be the final outcome.
An effort is being made to have the
committee meet at some large
hall, where the people can
hear the discussions. but Chairman
Morrow is reported as saying that
the parlors of the Maxwell House
were large enough to accommodate
the nineteen members of the Commit

a public session can be obtained
There is an immense crowd here
from all parts of the State and the
excitement is at fever heat. Nine
tenths of the crowd is clamorus for
a direct primary, but the Spl Hills, /
Morrows and others of the Governors /
machine class, are determined, If pos
sible, to thrwart the peoples will.
Luke Lea Is making magnificent /
and determined fight for a direct pri- |
mary He Is the leader of the faction
of the Governors friends which favor
that method and he is doing all he
can to persuade the Governor and the
Committee to yield to the peoples

leading the fight for the convention

author Of It is a fight of Hill against

to the effect that in order to stifle the

assume all power to appoint the Off

mary taking all power out of the
hands of the people. 1t is also re-
ported that the Committee will adopt
a plan giving to itself all power to
decide contests just as the Brownlow
did in the 1900 contest with
Evans and will also provide that del
egates cannot be admitted to the con-
fention hall unless armed with GER
ificates signed by Chairman Morrow. /

Aaron S. Watkins-synopsis of
the Platform.

Columbus, O., July 1.-THE Prohi.
bitionist national convention chose
Eugene w. Chain, Chicago, for pres
ident and Aaron S. Watkins, Ada, o.,
for vice president.
The full endorsement Of the CON
vention was not, however, given to

ballots Mr.. Chain did not show a
great. amount Of strength, receiving
but 1875 out Of 1888 votes on the first
and 376 out of 1,087 on the second
ballot. His nomination was prac-
tically assured, however, when the
roll call began for the third ballot.
On the third ballot he received total
of 636 votes.
The strongest competitor of Mr..
Chain was Rev. William B. Palmore,
st. Louis, who received PA votes on
the first ballot and 41S ON the second
ballot.
The convention decided to make Mr..
Palmore the vice presidential nominee
and he was named by reclamation.
He declined to accept the Office, how
ever, and persisted in his attitude de-
spite the strong urging of his friends
Finally it was decided that Professor
Aaron S. Watkins, Ada, O., should be
named by reclamation. A ballot re-
suited in the nomination of Professor
Watkins by an overwhelming major
ity
Both the presidential and vice pres
idential nominees are candidates for
governor in their respective states on
the Prohibition ticket.
The platform declares for absolute
prohibition; election of United States
senators by popular vote; graduated
income and inheritance taxes; postal
savings banks; regulation of corpora
tions; creation of permanent tariff
commission; strict enforcement of
laws against the social evil; uniform
marriage and divorce laws: employ
ers' liability act; court review of post
Office department decisions: prohibit
tion of child labor; suffrage based on
intelligence to read and write English
