name of Gov. Jonathan Davis for the
vice presidency, withdrew it and
changed it's vote to Bryan. Missouri

change their votes. Coy. Bryan al

Acciamation Motion Fails.
A California delegate moved to sus-
pend the rules and nominate Mr..
Bryan by acclamation, but there were
loud cries of no" from the states
that were voting for George l. Berry
of Tennessee. who demanded that
nomination be made in the usual way.
The motion was withdrawn.
Bryan passed a majority, when Jo-
sephus Daniels changed the North

Nebraskan. Ae few delegations which
had voted previously for Owsley were
changing to Berry, however, and
there were a number of Berry sup
porters in the gallery who joined in
to increase the general confusion.
Delegates Scatter.
Most of the Democratic delegates
and alternates who stuck to the end
of the long convention fight were
homeward bound today, their fraz-
zled nerves soothed by the concluding
session of ovations and a little sleep.
Few took the time for the good
rest" they have been promising them
selves The strain of determined
fighting was relieved, but the hnan-
ciaI strain was not They had been
in New York long time, and home
was the place to rest
Amusements remained for those
that wanted to be amused awhile, but
the homing instinct mounted as the
emotions of conflict faded, and not
many could think of anything more
pleasing than climbing into train
and watching the miles dance by
their windows.

was only 3-5 of a second short OF his

have broken if he had been pressed
in the last few hundred meters.
Nurmi and Ritola outclassed the

the former had spreadeagled the op-

be affected, the representatives OF
bona fide labor should be consulted.
Agriculture
We recognize the need of imme-
date and effective legislation to re-
lieve agriculture, both State and
Nation, from the depressed condi-
ton in which 1t finds itself. We
command the President Of the
United States and the Republican
members Of the National Congress
for their efforts in behalf Of the far
mers, efforts which have brought
about substantial improvements in
the condition that existed at the
close of the last Democratic admin
1stration.
We acknowledge that without
prosperity on the farms of Indiana
and Of the Nation, there can be no
lasting prosperity in any branch of
I industry and to the end that agri-
culture may prosper as it should
prosper, we favor the enactment Of
such other legislation as will bring
about this result in Indiana.
Taxation
L Taxation is a business and an
| economic problem and not partisan
one. Tax burdens and expenditures
go hand in hand. Further relief
from the burdens Of taxation in this
State can only be found when ex-
penditures are reduced to the lowest
point consistent with an efficient
and economical administration Of
government, both State and local.
We favor such legislation as will
strengthen our present tax law, to
the end that every class Of property
be made to bear its just portion OF
| the burdens of taxation; less hber
atty in exempting by law certain
classes of property from taxation
and with reasonable limitation upon
the ability Of taxing units to incur
Indebtedness.
We are opposed to increasing the
number of taxing districts covering
the same territory by which the
constitutional debt limit is in effect
avoided.
Boards and Commissions
We are opposed to the creation Of
additional boards and commissions
