Aside from the nominations, the on
ly other business of the convention at
the last session was the adoption of a
section of the constitution which
places the party as taking a decided
stand against violence as a weapon OF
the working classes" The session was
the most heated of the convention and
the section hours of debate, which
many times ran into personalities.
The section was opposed by the "di.
rect action" forces who have been es-
pousing the cause of the Industrial
Workers of the World and was favored
by the so-called yellow" or conser-
vative faction in the party. Bernard
Berlyn of Chicago, in speaking in ia

Indianapolis, Ind, May 18.-Eugene
Victor Debs of Terre Haute, Ind, was
nominated as q candidate for the presi-
dency of the United States by the ma
tional Socialist convention. Emil Sci
del, former mayor of Milwaukee, was
named for the vice-presidential nomin-

Mr.. Debs was not in the hall when

OHIO BATTLE NEXT
REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC
VOTERS NAME CHOICE FOR
PRESIDENT TUESDAY.
LIGHT VOTE .PREDICTEb
Ballots of Both Parties Are Largo
and Complicated.-Fight Be-
tween Wilson and
Hartman.

Columbus, Ohio. - All the presf.
dental candidates now in Ohio rest
ing after their whirlwind week lead
ing up to the primary election and
the campaign managers began a final
effort to instruct the voters how prop
erly to mark their ballots. Both Re-
publican anG Democratic ballots are
large and complicated.
On the Republican ballot there will
be three sets of candidates for dele
gates named in each of the 81 districts.
These are pledged respectively to
President Taft, Colonel Roosevelt and
Senator La Toilette. The names of
the presidential candidates will not
appear on the ballots. The six dele
gates-at-large will be named by the
state convention here in June.
In addition to voting for delegates,
the Democratic voter will have a spe-
cial ballot on which the names of Gov
errors Harmon and Wilson will apf
pear. '
The victorious candidate will name
the six delegates-at.large.
Both ballots are complicated by
carrying full county tickets, names Of
candidates to county, judicial and state
conventions and congressional candi-
dates.
The Socialists will have a complete
national and state ticket in the field
and expect to poll a larger vote than
at any previous primary.
Special elections for bond issues in
many counties are also to be held at
the primary Tuesday and in a few
counties voters will be required to
mark three separate tickets. The pri-
mary will open at $3.50 a. m. and close
at $50 p. m, but on account Of the
complicated nature of the ballot it is
expected that the returns will be slow
in coming to the county boards of cleo
ton.
Although the interest aroused by the
campaign of the presidential candi-
dates of both parties has been intense
it is not believed that an extraordin-
airy vote will be poiled as the voters
are required to give their political af-
filiation before securing a ballot and
this, it is claimed, together with the
completely Of the ballot in many coun-
ties, will tend to keep" voters frdm
the polls.

CURRENT COMMENT
The Civil Service Question.

There is much apprehension on the
part Of postmasters OF fourth-class
offices who have Just been put under
civil service by an executive order OF
President Taft as to what action Mr..
Wilson will take in the matter when
he comes in. If we believe what some
newspapers and politicians say there is
some cause for this. but ii we be-
lieve in our common sense there is not.
MIR. Wilson Is a strong believer in civil
service, he is progressive, and he is not
a politician of the ito the victor belongs
the spoils" class. He can not fail to
see the wisdom of President Taft's
action, and the great good it will ac-
complish by making the post office
above political bargaining and giving
these poorly paid but faithful servants
of the government chance to feel Sc
cure, and to improve their offices, as
most of them will do. Many postmas-
ters of fourth-class offices have been
obliged to put up buildings at their
own expense, and all have furnished,
absolutely rent free to the people,
suitable place for the post Office. Il
is impossible to conceive how pro.
gressive man, no matter how much
pressure is brought to bear, cuold for
moment consider such retrograde
movement as to rescind an order of
great benefit to the whole people, to
crafty the party politicians who live
on the patronage they can bestow.--
