state.
some Of the young Democrats whom
Governor Harmon has got about him
include David T. Rockwell Of Kent,
Portage county. who for two terms wa
Judge Of tho Orphans Probate Cour'
and who was victorious in a county
usually Republican by a heavy vote.
N 1903 Judge Rockwell was the oandi-
date for Lieutsnant-O Governor on the
Harmon ticket and was beaten by only
a Few thousand votes. John Weld Pech

who have aocked 10 HGrmOn's standard.
Hanley was formerly a nswsboy of Day

the recent convention was that the Demo
cratic party Of this State seems 10 be
In the hands Of a younger generation
A majority Of the delegates were young
fellowS with a sprinkling Of middle aged
men. with only here and there a gray
haired patriarch.
The Republican party won in victories
for years through il ability TO enlist
young men; the Democrats lost victories
for years because IL paid little attention
TO the youth of the country. IL was
apparent 20 many In the recent conven-
ton that a change IL taking place and
that many Of the youngW men Of Affairs
are afiliatinG with the Democratic party
One Of the famous sayings Of the late
Allen q. Thurman. the noble old Roman

work on politics. Il may be an ancient
volume OF II may be fiction with political
characters. but he doesn't bother with
old time political speakers who bore him.

Dointment Of Gov. Harmon was that

He was graduated a. a civil engineer
