The Resolutions Committee BsturA-
ed shortly and reported the follow
ing resolutions which were un-
animouly adopted:
We. the Democrats of Ohio Coun-
ty, in convention assembled. do de-
clare 1st. Thai, we endorse and
commend the wise, conservative and
patriotic policies of the last Demo-
cratic National Administration, un-
der the leadership of that mastery
statesman, Woodrow Wilson.
End. We approve and call to the
attention of the voters the many
principles of our party which were
incorporated into law and placed
upon the Statute Books during the
eight years of Democratic control Of
national affairs, among which the
most important were:
1st. The Federal Reserve Bank
Act. by which perfect. elastic sys-
tenn of currency is given the coun-
try. panics are made impossible and
finance is removed from the domi-
nation OF wall street.
End. The Federal Farm Loan
Act by the proper administration of
which the farmers would be furn-
ished adequate capital on reasona.'
BILE terms for the payment of debts
and the improvements of their
farms.
3rd. An efficient law for the
federal aid of Public Highways.
4th. The attempted removal OF
the tariff from politics by the es-
Ia blishment of the Tariff Board in
ended to function upon purely
scientific basis.
5th. The election Of United
States Senators by direct vote of
the people.
9Th. The final enfranchisement
Of American womanhood by the
adoption of the Nineteenth Amend
ment.
7th. The successful completion,
in less than two years, of the great
est war Of history.
On the other hand we view with
misgivings and utterly condemn the
insincers and time-serving course
which has been and still is being
pursued by the Republican party.
That party has had working ma
jority in Congress. for many months
and has done nothing to fulfill its
pledges or to relieve after-the-war
conditions Of unrest. The Republi-
can party in its last campaign prom
ised all things to all men. especially
ON the issue of the League OF Ma
tions. but we are as far as ever
from peace or settled foreign rela-
