RESOLUTIONS
Adopted By The Democratic
County Convention
Held At The Court House
Saturday Afternoon

The following are the resolutions
adopted at the Democratic county con-
vention last Saturday:
The Democrats of Knox county, in
delegate convention assembled, con-
gratulate the people on the auspic-
ious signs of the times for the dawning
of new and better day, when the peo-
PIE will come to their own and no long
er be serfs of the relentless trusts
which have demanded their reward
from the Republican party, and receiv-
cd 1t in the form of the Payne-Al-
drich tariff lava monster system for
robbing the people, causing them to
pay still greater tribute to the "inter-
ests" on the necessities of life and all
articles of common consumption, and
vastly increasing the already-too.high
cost of living.
Taft's Weak Administration
We denounce the administration of
William II. Taft as weak and vacil-
lating; as honeycombed with official
scandals; as dominated by Cannon
ism; as controlled by the tariff bar
ons as incompetent to manage the
vast affairs of, government, and as
being n woeful cailure-all arousing
the indignation OF wronged people
until the demand comes from all sides
that new and better order of things
be established and common honesty
again prevail in the national admins
tration.
Dicks Candidacy Welcomed
The action of the recent primaries
throughout Ohio makes Charles Dick
the official candidate of the Republi-
can party for United States senator.
We accept the issue and the chal.
longe thus presented, and invite a
settlement of the question of Dicks re-
turn to the senate, so far as Knox
county is concerned, in a cnoice by the
voters at the polls between the Demo
cratic and Republican candidates for
the legislature.
Governor Harmon Endorsed
We endorse the able, honest, bus
iuess-like and Conmon-sense admins
tration of Judson Harmon as governor
of Ohio, under which many reforms
have been inaugurated and success
fully concluded, thus saving vast sums
TO the taxpayers. We commend
Gov Harmon for his fearless expos
ure Of grating by former Republican
state officials, whereby some have
been sent to the penitentiary and 9th
Crs made defendants in civil actions
10 recover thousands of dollars re.
ceived by them improperly and with
out warrant of law. We denounce the
action OF the Republican majority in
the legislature in turning down Gov.
liarmons recommendation for lcgis-
laLion that would save many thous-
Gnds OF dollars to the people of Ohio.
We endorse Gov. Harmon for renom-
nation with full confidence that he
will be reelected and that with leg
islature that viii not hamper him many
important reforms OF substantial and
lasting benefit to the people will be
carried out by Ohio's great governor
Congressman Sharp
With much satisfaction, we point
TO the splendid record of our able,
efficient and industrious member of
congress, Hon, William G. Sharp, who
has more than measured up to all eX-
pcctations, and who has in every way
made good. lie has earned the sup.
port of the electors of the Fourteenth
district.
Representative Gotshall
We heartily endorse the record of
Samuel II, Gotshall as representative
of Knox county In the general assem-
