Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1910-08-05


Columbus, Ohio, July 27.-The
republican candidate for governor
Of Ohio is Warren G. Harding, Of
Marion, once lieutenant governor
of the state. He is nominated on a
platform that warmly commends
the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, and
Endorses President Taft for renom-
nation in 1912.
Following the defeat Of the pro-
~gressive forces in the platform
committee, and the adoption Of the
platform by the convention, the
announcement was made that
James R. Garfield's name would
not be presented to the convention
as a candidate for governor.
Despite the efforts Of Senator
Burton's Cuyahoga county delega-
zion to stampede the convention
for Eicholas LongWOrth, and
George b. Cox's every effort in be-
half Of Judge O. B. Brown, of Day
ton, a combination Of the ''prO-
gressves" with the national admin
lstration men broke up the fight on
the third ballot. Then Cox, yield
Ing to the inevitable, cast the 81
Hamilton votes for Harding and
that finished it.
The withdrawal Of Garfield and
Carmi A. Thompson before the be-
ginning Of the vote made possible
a Observation-Disclosures combina-
ton. All the Garfield votes out
side the Cuyahoga delegation and
a few that chung grimly to the I'M
developed candidacy Of the ex-
secretary of the interior, were cast
for Harding.
F. ". Tredway, present lieu
tenant governor, was renominated,
and Granville W. Money was nom
mated for secretary of state.
Progresslves Turned Down.
The progressive" tariff plank was
voted down early this morning. Con-
gresham Rowland, in charge of the
progressive" fight in the resolutions
committee, retired at 6 o'clock this
morning, stating his course as a minor
ity member of the committee would be
determined after a conference with
james r. Garfield.
The recommendations of the sub
committee, which completed the first
draft of the platform early this MORN
ing, were not closely followed. One
omission was Of a plank asking q recall
law applying to state executive and
legislative officers. This was a feature
Of the Garfield platform given out Mon
day night. The platform, as finally
evolved by the entire committee On res
olutions, is practically a replica Of the
draft shown to President Taft by Sen
ator Dick and State Chairman Wade H.
Ellis, at Beverly, Mass.
The conservation plank, however, is
that presented by Garfield men on the
committee and the Endorsement of the
national administration is a modifca-
ton Of the suggestions Of both sides.
As a whole. it Is claimed by the ''regu-
lars" AS their W In spirit and sub
stance.
Platform Is Adopted.
The platform was adopted with scat
tering cries OF No" Immediately there
rose shouting of "Harding' and
Brown" With great celebrity, however,
Senator Burton, who presided as per-
manent chairman, started the cali for
candidates for governor.

Robert r. Nevin, of Dayton, who put up
