pointed in the aid lent by troops
Promptly on his arrival Governor
Harmon had declared that the militia
cauld not be used for police duty. He
declared they should remain in their
camps unless summoned to points
where rioting broke out.
The result was that when nightfall
came the union sympathizers began
attacks on cars in all. sections of the
city. They defied the police, as they
had done on previous nights. As they
did not gather in crowds there were
with two exceptions, no mobs to dis
perse. Before the troops could be
summoned, cars had beed stoned and
the guilty persons had made their es-
cape.
Notable exceptions were on the2North
side, where, after crews had been driv-
en- from cars and beaten, threats were
made to overturn and demolish the
cars. Battery C, of Columbus, ar
rived in time to drive the people into
their homes and into nearby streets.
Retail merchants will call on Gov
erno Harmon to summon the legisla-
ture in special session to provide a

licitor E. L. Weinland, indicated in a
statement that unless a settlement
was soon reached, he would act on
petitions filed, urging him to ask the
courts to appoint a receiver to man

least the platform adopted at the con.

the pledge was not made without q

floor. Former Congressman Martin

note speech. H. J. Stenger, Of Toledo,
presided over the permanent organiza-

A ringing speech was delivered by
Claude R. Porter, the Democratic can.
didate for governor.
The platform denounces recent tariff
revision as "a masterpiece of injus-
tice, declared trust and monopolies to
be intolerable, opposed the central
bank idea, condemns the postal savings
bank law in allowing the withdrawal
OF savings from the communities in
which they are deposited and accused
the Republican national administration

declares for the Oregon plan of elect
