| lre1olutions:
4 We, the Democrats oil Ohio Cuun-
Ety5 in Convention assembled, do de-
clare: 1st. We endorse the wise,
conservative and patriotic Admins
tration of our Nations President,
Woodrow Wilson, and express our
deepest sympathy for him in his
physical suffering and sincerely hope
for his speedy restoration to COM
plete health.
End. We point with pride to the
many principles of our Party which
have been placed on the Statutes of
our Country during the two Admin
istrations of President Wilson, viz:
II. A Currency Law So complete
and fair to all interests that even
the Republicans dare not criticize it.
2. The enactment of a Land
Loan Law for the Farmer. with its
inestimable benefits to that large
class Of our people.
3. A workable law for the i'm
provement of Public Highways.
4. The removal of the Tariff
from politics by placing it on firm
and sensible basis.
5. The election of United States
Senators by the people.
6. The Parcel Post Law thereby
relieving the people from the grasp
of the extortionate express COM
panies.
z. The greatest War of history
brought to a successful conclusion
in less than two years.
3rd. We endorse unreservedly
the League of Nations as formulated
and proposed by our President and
regard it as the greatest forward
movement in the interest of the
Peace of the world and of our COM
mon Humanity that has ever been
proposed, and charge that the pres
ent relative low prices of some COM
modities of our farmers, in this To-
cality, particularly tobacco, are di-
rectly attributable to the action
of the Republican majority in the
Senate in preventing, by petty par
tisan methods, the Treaty OF Peace
and the League of Nations from be-
coming a reality.
4th. We send our delegates to
the State Convention uninstructed
and recommend to them that they
vote to send an uninstructed delega-
tion to the National Convention at
San Francisco on June 29, 1920.
We direct our delegates to the State
Convention to vote as a unit on all
matters coming before the Conven-
tion. We recommend that the fol-
lowing named Democrats be select
ed as Delegates and Alternates to
said Convention, viz: i
