Secretary Ballinger Is
Plainly Censured.

campaign this fall with Judson Harmon
as its candidate for governor and prcsl-
dent. The Democratic state convention
today indorsed him in the strongest
terms for the presidency after it had re-
nominated him for governor by acclama-
tIon.
The belief held by many delegates that
| the governor will resign shortly after the
beginning of his new term In order to
become a candidate before the next
Democratic national convention was
voiced by former Governor James e.
Campbell. The ex-governor was intro
ducing Atlee Pomerene OF Canton, the

The proposition to indorse a candidate
for United States senator. which was
suggested by William J. Bryan. was de-
feated, receiving but 204 out OF the 1929
votes. The senatorial Endorsement plan
had been successfully defeated in the
state central committee the rules COM
mittee and the resolutions committee.
A move OF great Importance In Ohio
was made by the convention when 1t in
dorsed the proposal for constitutional
convention, a question which will be
voted upon by the people this fall.
