Harding Named for Governor The Platform Declares For Taft In 1912 and Contains Many Progressive Planks. The Republican nominee for gov- ernor of Ohio is Warren G. Harding, of Marion, once lieutenant governor. ty delegation to stampede the con- vintion at Columbus for Nicholas Longworth, and George B. Cox's every effort in behalf of Judge O. B. Brown, of Dayton, a combination of the “pro- gressives” with the national adminis tration men, broke up the fight on the third ballot. Then Cox, yielding to the inevitable, cast the ninety-one Hamilton votes for Harding, and that finished it. The continuation of the roll call was 8 joke. The withdrawal of James R. Garfield and Carmi A. Thompson be- fore the beginning of the vote brought about a Garfield-administration com- bination that twenty-four hours before would have seemed to the delegates impossible. All the Garfield votes, out- side the Cuyahoga delegation and a few that clung to the undeveloped candidacy of the former secretary of the interior, were cast for Harding. Walter Brown, of Toledo, and Wade H. Ellis, state chairman, were influ- ential in lining up the other delegates for the Marion man. The understand- ing that the president was not satis filed by the candidacy of Judge Brown did the rest. The final vote was: Harding, 746; Brown, 120, and Longworth, 195. Jo seph B. Foraker and numerous other recipients of surprise ballots, who had divided the scattering vote, were re- duced to five votes between them. The nomination of the Marion editor was made unanimous. After the nomination of Speaker Granville Mooney for secretary of state, the nominee for governor spoke. He declared his allegiance to the pres- ident and announced his determination to “give an honest administration if elected.” Lieutenant Governor Francis W. Treadwell was renominated by accla- mation. For state treasurer, Rudy A. Archer, of Belmont county, defeated Richard Gilson, of Steubenville, by a vote of 628 to 438. U. G. Denman, of Toledo, was nom- inated for attorney general by accla- mation. The defeat of Cox and the unquali- fled endorsement of the administration are regarded as a signal victory for Mr. Taft in his own state, and as opening a more hopeful prospect of beating Harmon, the Democratic gov- ernor, who is conceded by the Repub- licans to be a formidable opponent. The following are the most import- ant planks in the platform: “Praises President Taft in unquali- fled terms and endorses him for re nomination in 1912. Recounts the achievements of his administration, which are declared to be the most remarkable in the history of national legislation. Among these accomplishments are mentioned: The successful prosecution of sugar frauds. Intervention to prevent increases in railroad freights. Enforcement of law against illegal dealings in stocks. Impartial enforcement of the anti trust laws, Economy in expenditures. Withdrawal of public mineral lands from private entry. Defends the Payne tariff law as in accordance with the Republican doc- trine of protecting home industry, and says the law has been unjustly as- sailed. Lauds the railroad law as another signal achievement of Republican ad- ministration. Endorses the principle of conserva- tion of natural resources and the ef- forts of congress and the president along this line. Matches In Water Kill Woman. After hours of the most intense agony, Anna Stajaiber, agen twenty- six years, of 214 Wilder street, Phila. delphia, died from phosphorous poison- ing in the Pennsylvania hospital. The hospital authorities assert that they do not know whether her case was a suicide or not, but they say they be- lieve she drank water in which match. es had been soaked. Heat Crazed Man Kills Child. W. J. Carver, a newspaper man of Washington, became suddenly insane from the heat and, seizing his eleven- months-old infant, he hurled it across a room in his home, inflicting injuries from which it died. Carver was over powered by the police and taken to a hospital. Race Suicide Closes Schools. County Superintendent Charles Talkington, at Columbus, Ind. says race suicide is responsible for the g i 7 Bottles Got Mixed and Nurse Gave In fant Mother's Potion. The reversal of the position of two bottles of medicine resulted in the death of a two-days-old infant, the child of Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Frank, 833 North Thirteenth street Philadelphia. A physician left two bottles of med- icine, one for the baby, one for the mother. They were placed on a table near each other, to be differeneiated by their position. In some way they became mixed, and the nurse, Eliza beth Detlessen, gave the baby a dose of the mother’s medicine. Mr. Frank impressed into service an automobile which was standing nearby and rushed the child to St. Jo seph’s hospital, where it died. Embezzled Over a Million. Following an examination of the books of August Ropke, the defaulting assistant secretary of the Fidelity Trust company, of Louisville, Ky. a meeting of the company’s stockhelders was held and it was reported to them by experts that the entire surplus of the company, $1,340,000, bad been used in the peculations of Ropke. Owing to the fact that there are several millions of dallars behind the institution, the Fidelity will not have to close its doors, although the short- age of Ropke is one of the largest ever known in the south. The stock- holders have ratified the order for the issuance of new stock, and $1,000,000 has been put out by the company and will be sold. It was issued at par value and it is understood that every dollar of it will be taken by the present stockholders. Ropke, who is in jail unable to fur nish bonds of $25,000, is a German, forty-five years old. He lived unosten- tatiously, but began dabbling in stocks and grain several years ago. He was successful for a time, but the inevit- able losses followed. Mrs. Grice and Baby Found Alive.

The accident was due to the prema- ture explosion of a full service charge of powder, but what caused it is un- known and probably never will be. All who were in sight of the gun when it occurred were killed. Colonel Townsley has designated a in practice before the Most of the dead lost their lives by being struck by burnt powder, which, before consumption, is in large grains and heavy. All the killed and wounded belonged to the Sixty-ninth company of coast artillery. Five batteries were engaged in the practice when the explosion occurred. The heavy guns were being fired ra- pidly at two targets, being drawn by a tug four miles down the bay. About fifty shots in all were fired. One of the targets was completely destroyed and the other hit several times. Many prominent officers of the army and navy who went to Hampton Roads to witness what was expected to be the greatest target practice of this character that had been attempted anywhere, saw the accident. It was the more horrible for the rea- son that wives and children of several of the men killed, no danger having been expected, were permitted to see the target practice. A number of them witnessed the accident. The explosion was probably due to the premature ignition of a powder charge in which the breech block of a twelve-inch gun and powder were blown to the rear. Slain as He Slept In Hammock. Former Mayor A. H. Bouseman, ot Ridgeway, Va., was assassinated by means of a dynamite bomb, which was thrown from the street under a ham- mock in which he was lying. No clue to the identity of the mur derer or the cause of the crime has been found. Mr. Bouseman had been spending | the hot evening sleeping in a ham- : mock swung between two trees on the lawn in front of his residence. With- out a word of warning at about 10 o'clock the dynamite bomb was thrown by someone passing along the street. It landed in the hammock at his feet, and in an instant exploded. Bouse- man's feet were torn away by the bursting shell, and his legs frightfully mutilated. In great agony he died an hour later. Although the town authorities made every effort to discover the assassin, no clue could be found, and it is be- lieved he escaped without being seen by any one. The news quickly spread about town and excitement grew to a high pitch. As mayor of Ridgeway Mr. Bouse- man presided over the police court of the town trying petty cases. It is thought that some person .. i whom Bouseman in his court had passed sentence of punishment held a grudge against him and had been awaiting an opportunity to wreak vengeance on him. The opportunity came as Bouse- man lay sleeping in the open air. The terrific report attracted many persons to the scene, but the excite ment was so great that apparently no one thought to search for the assas- sin until he had male his escape un- detected. 426 Cans of Frozen Eggs Seized.
