Dayton, O., June 22.-Denouncins the Republican party for framing a tariff to rob the people for the. sake Harmon this morning accepted a sec ond gubernatorial nomination which was rendered him by exclamation by the delegates to the Democratic State Convention.
 Today's proceedings marked the launching of the Harmon boom as the candidate of the conservative wing of the party. Harmon is now an avOw- ed candidate for presidential hOnors, the convention having especially en- dorsed him as the state candidate.
 After reviewing the reforms put into effect under his administration and promising that they would be contin- ued if he were returned to office, the governor made an appeal for the cleo tion Of a Democratic House.
 '"The need of reform in the nation al administration is far greater than in our state," he said, "and can only be met by the election of Democratic CongresSmen.
 ''The waste of public funds which to the extent of three hundred million dollars is publicly confessed, is worth looking after especially now when the people who have to make it up are struggling to meet the cost of living. And neither economy hor watchful regard for the common welfare is pos sible in Washington while the reign of the favored goes on and the prac- ticaI genius of our people finds such small expression in the conduct of their public business
 There can be no relief as long as the interests which profit through tar- if laws are allowed to frame them as
 
 has just been shown in the most striking way that these have complete command of the Republican party as an organization. Insurgency is mere ly protest they scoff at. The only agency by which they can be dislodg- ed is the Democratic party.
 Good government means just the same in Washington as it does in Col umbus."
 The state Democratic convention this afternoon voted down the resolution to endorse candidates for United States Senator.
 The adoption of the platform was accomplished without any show of opposition.

The platform provides that the next legislature snail call convention lO consider an amendment to the Fed eral constitution with this end in view but if the next legislature is Demo- cratic it is committed to the enact ment of a law embodying the Oregon plank to be used until the Federal amendment is adopted Other blanks commend Harmon for his fight against grafters; declares for a flair and just'' regulation of public utilities, and non-partiSan judiciary demands greater economy in the Federal gov ernment and revision of the ''Un- just and unfair" tariff law upon the basis of tariff for revenue only.

FRED SAILER, NOW 80, SH0WERED WITH
 CONGRATULATIONS

Hale and hearty, his venerable fea- lures wreathed in smiles. Frederick L.. Sailer, one of the best known of Bridgeporters. today acknowledged congratulations from hundreds of friends. as well as greetings from throughout this country and abroad on the rounding out of 30 years of a well spent life.
 MT. Sailer says he is the oldest Ger man resident of Bridgeport. He does not look the part, yet he readily recalls the events of 50 years ago, when as a man of 20 he came to the Park City to make his fortune, starting to work in the saddlery business for Henry Hurd at the wage of s4 per week. There were then only 10 Germans in Bridgeport.
 Vigorous as many a man 20 years younger, enjoying excellent health save for occasional twinges of rheu- matism. MT. Sailer is familiar figure about the city,
 MT. Sailer came to Bridgeport from Wurtemburg in 1850. when the city boasted a population of 13.OOO Frugal and judicious in his investments, he soon had accumulated enough to pur- chase the saddlery business of his em- ployer. This was at that time the principal industry of the little city,
 Securing big government contracts during the Civil War, MT Sailer forg ed ahead to a position of enlinence among the business men of the time. When he eventually retired from the saddlery business he conducted a gro- cery store at the site of the Atlantic Hotel for number of years. Then he entered the wholesale liuuor busi- ness. Twenty years ago he retired from active business and since then he has looked after his realty holdings. He is considered one of the largest individual property owners in the city
 Taking an active part in Democratic politics, he has served as a member of the Board of Apportionment under Mayors w. B. Bostwick and Hugh Stirling. Under the latter Mayor he resigned, occupying at the same time a position in the Board of Park Com missioners. and wishing to avoid the criticism that then arose against the holding of two offices simultaneously
 He was 70 years president of the Park Board, and is now a member of the commission. His term will ex- pire in 1913. MT. Sailer was remem- bered today by a number of floral tokens as well as letters. telegrams and cables. He spent the day at his home at S71 Broad street, where he lives with Mrs. Sailer, formerly Susan E. Howard, of well known Westport family. and his daughter-in-law. Louise |. Sailer

DEACON WEDDING IN LONDON HAS
 BEEN POSTPONED
(SpeciaI from United Press

London, June 22.-An air of mystery surrounds the postponement today of the wedding of the beautiful Dorothy Deacon and Prince Antoine Albert RadziwiH which was to have taken place in St. Mary's church. The only reason given for the postponement is that the contracting parties, both non- residents, have not complied with the necessary requirements, several docu- ment not having been filled out prop erly.
 This explanation, however, does not satisfy the friends of the American bride-elect, who fear that the we'll known opposition to the match of Princess Radziwill has something to do with the announcement. Miss Dea- con is the daughter of Mrs. Baldwin, the divorced wife of the late Edward Parker Deacon of America, who died in an asylum and the Prince is vir- tually the head of the great Polish house of Radziwill, his father, too, be- ing insane.

ROOSEVELT ANGRY AT GOSSIP ABOUT
 DAUGHTERS BEAU

New York, June 22.-Colonel Roose- welt made a record run in his automO- bile this morning from Oyster Bay to New York city. He started at the same time that train bearing the staff correspondents did but reached New York far in the lead. He went at once to his office fin the Outlook building where he met a committee of p mem bers of the Hamilton Club of Chica- go.
 Roosevelt told the committee he would be glad to address their club sion of his trip to the far west.
 After shaking hands all around Roosevelt dove into his office where a pile of letters reaching nearly to the ceiling awaited him. The Colonel lunched on the roof of the Waldorf Astoria with the members of the Camp Fire club.
 Just before the Roosevelt left the Outlook office he was asked whether it were true as printed in the morn ing papers that he had taken a posi- ton in opposition to the Hughes direct primaries bill now being considered by the state legislature in extraordi- nary session.
 ''This is the first time I have heard of it'' he snapped out. Looks to me as if some one was trying to crowd the membership of the Ananias Club .''
 He begged the reporters present to notify their managing editors that he would consider it favor if they would keep their melancholy club' away from Oyster Bay. There will be no news there,'' he said, land we can get along nicely without report erS."
 Roosevelt will remain in New York tonight, staying at the home of his brother-in-law, Douglas Robinson. Early in the evening he will be the dinner guest of Robert J. Collier, the publisher. When the ColonePs atten- ton was called to the gossip at Oy- ster Bay that his daughter Ethel and MT. Williams were likely to be mar ried he became plainly angry.
 Ut is such silly and family af- fair that it is foolish to mention it,'' he said.

 Of James J. Hill. Professor Perrine said:
 Our great Northwest produced MT. Hill, and he has produced new Northwest. His power is practically without bounds,-but he cannot raise the freight-rates on his own railroad lines.''
 Laughter and loud hand-clapping greeted this sally.
 ''Mr. Hill,'' said the professor. 'is the last of a generation of wilder ness-conquerors. The men who in terpreted the constitution, fixed our foreign relations. framed the Monroe doctrine, and blazed all the great trails which determined the nations future, may count him of their company"
 John Burroughs was easily the most Woolsey Hall and the most popular recipient of a degree. In presenting the venerable naturalist with his de- gree Professor Perrine quoted the lines from Horace:
 Happy he who far from business
 cares, like the primitive races of
 mankind,
 Flows his paternal acres with his own
 oxen. free from all anxiety about
 money.
 and closed: 'No living American real izes this sweet dream of Horace better than MT. Burroughs"

 The celebration today was con- tinuation of the horseplay and demon strations following the victory over Harvard in the baseball game, yester- day. The grads acted as if the drub- ping of their hereditary opponent was worth a continual three times three and tiger. The spectators looked on good-naturedly today while bald and gray haired alumni executed bizarre stunts
 Surface cars were held up and a green Yale graduate took the motor mans lever. A laundry wagon came to grief when the celebrants decided to "steal ride.' They stole the en- tire outfit for over an hour but re- turned it in safety to the much wor- ried driver. Department stores were converted into amateur circuses, and the pretty salesladies were mustered in as the feminine portion of the per formers. The fun was contagious.
 Throughout the commencement week, however, the former Yale men did not forget what brought them back to the scenes of their college days. Grads who had not seen each other in years embraced as they met on the campus or in the streets. It was a week of reunions.
 The alumni dinner this afternoon and the presidents reception in the evening will bring commencement at Yale to a close.
