BLOW TO LOCAL OPTION Move to Extend It to Counties Fails. Platform Favors Oregon Idea ou Election of Senators and Indorses Bryan. COLUMBUS. O., Aug. 22. Samuel A. Hosklns for Secretary of State, Charles W. Haupert for State School Commis sioner, Rodney J. Diegle for State Dairy and Food Commissioner and George E Nyswonger for a member of the Board of Public Works constituted the ticket named by the Ohio Democrats here to day in a session somewhat fervid in tern perature. In oratory and In methods of voting. The day was close and sultry, few del egates wore coats, and many sought cool er places outside the hall before final adjournment, this last fact making pos sible the casting of the votes of several delegations by unauthorized persons dur ing the last few ballots. A number of counties were challenged and several persons put out of the hall for such im proper voting, but It did not seem to affect the result materially In any case. County Option Turned Down. During the first hour and a half of to day's session the question of an Indorse ment of county option In Prohibition legislation was under discussion, an at tempt by W. L. Flnley to amend the platform and give such an Indorsement being defeated on a roll call. The dis cussion developed opposition to the gen eral Idea of county option. In which some delegates Insisted that In having "ap proved unqualifiedly Governor Pattlson's policies," the platform already was strong enough on the very point for which Mr. Flnley contended. Aside from these features the defeat of Mayor Tom L. Johnson In the State Cen tral Committee, a feature of yesterday, was still the subject of comment. Oregon Idea on Senators. Thomas EX Powell, chairman of the platform committee, read the report, fre quent applause greeting favorite planks. The report declared for county home rule in taxation; demanded that railroads and other public-service corporations be assessed at not .less than their salable value a tax be levied on all franchise privileges as on other property advo cated home rule for each municipality, and their right to Inaugurate municipal ownership through the medium of the initiative and referendum. A rigid In spection and supervision of state and private banks was advocated, as was an anti-pass law. The election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people by the adoptton of the so-called Oregon plan was favored. In order to secure purity of elections, the repeal of all special limitations as to time within which criminal prosecutions may be begun for bribery In elections was favored. The action of the National House of Representatives in killing the bill forbid ding campaign contributions was con demned and the subject was fleclared a vital campaign issue. William J. Bryan Is Indorsed for the Democratic nomination for President in 1908 In terms of ardent praise. Fight for County Option. The proposition of Mr. Flnley for local option by counties the present laws pro viding only for township and residence district option came before the conven tion as an amendment to the report of the platform committee. Mr. Flnley and those with him on the county option voted for the balance of the platform and there was no dissent from Its views. The proposal made by Mr. Flnley to the com mittee was rejected, but was submitted by him as an amendment to the report of the committee on resolutions when that was presented to the convention. Mr. Powell moved the adoption of the report but before a vote W. L. Flnley offered his amendment as a substitute for the Initiative and referendum plank, and moved its adoption. J. C. McMahon, of Dayton, also a member of the resolu tions committee, voiced the views of the majority of that committee. On a roll call the substitute plank was lost and the majority report was then adopted. CHINA WILL OPEN THE DOOR Agrees to Put Custom-Houses on Russian Frontier. LONDON. Aug. 22.
