spectators and delegates alike. There
was another cheer too, when Mr..
Lodge spoke of the courts. Mr.. Lodge
ended his speech eight minutes after
he resumed it.
The delegates and the other folks
were tired now, tired of noise, tired
of flag waving, tired of all the ac-
compartments of the demonstration.
Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, jumped
up with a resolution inviting John
Ade, who is 80 years old and Ere"
mont voter, to take the platform and
joined him there. Mr.. Ade is the
father of George Ade, one of the In
diana delegates.
Following him more of these old
fellows were pushed upon the plat
form to be cheered by the convention.
There was a bit of pause then,
because the committee on rules which
had been fighting over the resolution
introduced by Representative Francis
Burke, of Pennsylvania, to cut down
the representation from the southern
states, was not ready to report. To
fill up the time the names OF the ma
tional committeeman were called out.
A bit of a row started when General
Powell Clayton, of Arkansas, offered
resolution authorizing the commit
tee to fill any vacancy that might oc-
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1908-06-19

cur in its number some states cried
out in protest of this and Mr.. Os-
born, of Michigan, moved as an
amendment that the vacancies be fill
ed in the usual manner by the state
central committees. General Clayton
patched matters by accepting this
amendment.
But a moment later the first fight
and first roll call that the convention
had seen over the report of the rules
committee as read by Senator Warren,
of Wyoming. 1t was close fight in
the committee and 1t was a closer
fight on the floor of the convention.
In the committee the vote on the
Burke resolution was II to 20, against
cutting down the southern represen-
tation.
The vote in the convention was All
against 5O6 for the majority report.
1t was evident from this vote that
the convention If left alone would
have carried out the wishes Of Repub-
licans expressed for years, that their
national conventions are too much
dominated by a southern rotten ma
chine which can give no electoral
votes to Republican presidential can
didates. Immediately after the roll
cau on Burke's resolution, the conYen-
tion was adjourned till noon tomor-
row

SAVED BY STOMACH PUMP
Young Girl Drinks Poisonous Lead
WISH at Sisters Homo.

Drinking a peculiar poison that Is
known to druggists as lead wash and
which Is used as an external ont-
ment, being composed of opium and
tincture Of lead. Yetta Kite a sixteen
year-old glr, ucal'y ended her life
last night at the home of her sister
at Rcdheld street. She had gone to
visit her sister last evening. The
wash was IN the house as an oi\,ment
and the girl, after her recovery at the
hospital, stated that she drank 1t In
mistake for something else. A tele-
phone call was made at once for the
New Haven hospital ambulance and it
arrived on the scene with stomach
pump, which was put into service, at
once at the house. The girl was then
taken to the hospital and In a short
time had practically entirely recov-
cred. She will be discharged to-day.
The poison is a deadly one, and II
1t had not been pumped out of her
system at once would probably have
had fatal result While the girl
claims that the case was one of pure
accident 1t is hinted that she was
either despondent or had had a quar-
rel with her sister and took the 81
son in a nt of the blues. Yetta Kite
lives at $50 Cedar street. The affair
occurred before 8 o'clock last even

RAMBLER CONCERN OFFERS

Two bids only were submitted to the
fire department on the advertisement
for an automobile for tho use of
chief Fancher and Of those It was
found when the bids were opened last
night that only the bid of the Cont
mental company Of this city complied
with the specifications which We're
made In the advertisement by the
board. The other concern that pre-
sented a bid was the Rambler com
pany which offered two different cars,
one at $1,000 and the other at $1,70O,
but the specifications were not In ac-
cord with those required and the
board after looking over the desc'ip-
tion of the cars offered found that
they did not know the horse power OF
the. car described and that several OF
the important parts were not those
which the call for bids called for.
This bid was accordingly declared out
of form because It was not N accord
ance with the specifications and the
only other bid. that Of G. A. Noel "
of the Continental company for S2-
750 less the check of Mr.. Moeller for
$1,000, was accepted and a vote was
passed awarding the contract to Mr.,
Moeler. The contract will be mall
out in a few days and II IS expected
to have the car ready for service
when Chief Fancher returns to duty
from his vacation which he IS now en-
joying. One of the specifications OF
the contract is that it be ready for
delivery within two weeks of the
making Of the contract.
The car which will be purchased
is guaranteed to develop horse pow

members of the board to be in all
respects desirable car
