for the Fight.

The Democratic county central COM
mittee of Shawnee county, met at
the parlors of the Hotel Throop at 2
O'Clock p M, yesterday to organize,
elect chairman, secretary and treasur-
ed. Mr.. p. H. SOuther and George E.
Barnaby were nominated as candidates
for chairman of the committee for the
next two years. Mr.. P. H. Souther was
elected by a large majority. George
Hanley was elected secretary and treas
urer. Talks were made by Mayor j. B.
Billiard, w. H. Kemper and others. The
Following resolution was introduced by
Frank S. Thomas. the retiring chair
man of the committee. The resolution
was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we instruct our
chairman as a member of the party
courcil to use his influence and favor
q fair and conservative state platform,
free from destructive theories but to in
clude the initiative and referendum and
recall We denounced the present tariff
law passed by the Republican party as
q deception and fraud and a violation
as usual of the pledges that the Re
publican party makes 20 the peop;' for
the purpose of getting votes and per-
petrating themselves in Office and
power"
resolution was also offered and
passed instructipg the chairman to ap
point a campaign committee to conduct
the coming campaign. The meeting was
d
a number of candidates on the county
ticket, including Will Dickson of Au-
burn, candidate for county clerk. and
Chas. M. Zirkle of Berryton, candidate
for county treasurer.
The resolution introduced by Frank
S. Thomas and passed unanimously in
structing the chairman as a member
of the party council to "F~-o- fair
and conservative state platform, free
from destructive theories is a little
out of the ordinary at the present time
when radicalism is so prevalent in all
political platforms and resolutions. EMr.
Thomas for 20 or 80 years has been one
of the leading Democrats of the county
and state, having been for 10 or II
years treasurer of the Democrat state
central committee and an active partici-
pant in all of it's political affairs and
in close touch with sll Of the leaders
of TIE party from Mr.. Bryan down and
a close friend of Senator Hodges, the
Democratic candidate for governor. He
is a busiress man ana his resolution
would seem to indicate a comprehen-
sion or at least an opinion that the pro-
Tortion of radical politics and legisla
ton was getting too large compared
with the business of the country and
that the commercial and financial stu
alton showed a decided tendency tow
srd getting unsteady and shaky.
