can convention here for the purpose
of nominating two candidates for the

presidential electors and adopt plat
form for the 1916 campaign.
Herschel C. Ogden, Of Wheeling,
delivered the keynote Of the campaign
in speech Griticlslng Democrats for
their attacks upon the Republican
party and deplored the cbndittons as
