When the convention assembled, after
the preliminary opening. It was found
that the Bryanites were so far in the
minority that they decided after a brief
caucus. to submit to the majority. OF the
93j delegates the Bryanites could muster
less than 200 supporters. and though they
died hard they finally laid down and voted
with the majority TO make the convention
unanimous for the governor of Minnesota.
The resolution lnstTucts the delegates
TO vote for Gov. Johnson as long as he
shall be a candidate before the Denver
convention. But these resolutions also
declare for the support Of the nominee OF
the national convention. whether 1t be
Bryan. Johnson. or some other candidate

the election of national committeeman,
this matter being put over until the State
nominating convention in June.

was greeted by many OF his friends. and
who was constantly the center of an
ever-changing group of animated takers.

TIE PASSING OF cox

BY n vote of 6S to 20 the house
yesterday passed the Payne bill,
which carries with It the federal
plan and civil service in the govern
ment of Ohio cities. This IS the most
important piece of legislation to re-
ceive favorable action at the hands
of the House this session, and in fact
for years. 1t marks the complete
breaking away from the system of
municipal government, foisted upon
the cities of Ohio by Boss Cox. 1t
will eliminate many useless offices in
Ohio cities, and will more closely fix
responsibility upon the officials. The
present form of city government is
cumbersome and expensive. It's appli-
cation to Ohio cities had no excuse.
1t was drawn up by the then city So
licitor, Wade H. Ellis of Cincinnati,
at the request of George b. Cox, and
was jammed through the General
Assembly by weak and Submissive
Legislature.
Elsewhere in this issue, as news
item. will be found resume of the
bill.

"There are two kinds of men in the
world Those who sail and those
who drilt. - The men who sail know
what they want to do and why
they want to do It, They are men of
perseverance and they pull the get
there stroke"
But purpose in man, without
the ability to stick, is not worth
the powder to blow it up. The clerk
who aspires to become Office mana
ger and satisfies himself with the
position of assistant bookkeeper,
and the salesman who calls on a
few people, secures no orders, and
goes to the bali game, are men who
have purpose but no perseverance.
They are soon listed amorlg the
thousands of ''those who meant
well.'
The man who takes it into his
head to do thing. and does it, who
first plans his work and then works
his plan, lG the man who makes
good. lie takes the getthere
stroke ana sticks to It.
