COURT URGES OILERS
TO LOAF AT LIBRARY.
READING GOOD BOOKS

In the trial of two idlers in police court
today, Recorder Broyles urged loafers to
spend their time in the Carnegie library.
He said this would prove profitable to
the loafers and would also keep them off
the streets.
If the loafers would all make the Car
negie library headquarters, instead of
hanging around saloons and pool rooms,
they would be better off, said the court.
"Of course, they ought to be at work,
but if they've just got to loaf, they ought
to spend their time in the library. where
they can mingle with respectable people
and read good books and magazines"

of Woodrow Wilson and sent the ten
votes of the Burke faith solidly into the
Wilson camp. This recruiting expedi-
ton brought some more cheers from

prowess as a good holder OF attention,

the man who had transformed Ohio
from a Democratic dead sea to a Dem
ocratic paradise" the delegates gave
noisy and sincere evidence of their APP

delegates eyes. constituted a para
mount issue.
It was at 5:45 O'Clock when Mr..
Daugher.y came to recommend that the
party carry a buckeye in its nomination
pocket to guard against the election
rheumatism OF the fall. His references
to Governor Harmon's services as at
torney general, to his stand for reform
and progress in Ohio politics and to
his balance mentally were all received
with APPLAUSE and with cheers.
It required a vigorous use of the
gavel to cut short the demonstration
that Senator Gore of oklahoma, the
blind leader of his states delegation,
might raise his voice for Wilson. The
senator came to the stand at 5:5S
O'Clock.
1t was a dramatic scene that found
the man without sight. led to the stand
by friendly hands and respected by
those who We're at daggers point with
his cause, pleading for the nomination
of the Princeton president. He was
sure that Wilson had both availability
and ability, and he aroused the good
humor of the delegates by declaring;
During the last three and one-half
years President Taft has been busy
carrying out the policies of Theodore
Roosevelt-on a stretcher.'
He predicted that with Wilson in
the field against the Republicans there
would be only six states on the Re
publican side when the returns were
counted in November.
Then it was tabloid talk with the
delegates unwilling to listen and the
galleries making 1t impossible for the
speaker to be heard. Scott Ferris, of
Oklahoma, seconded the Clark nominal
