The Demo cratic State Convention today nominated a full state ticket, headed by Claude R. Porter, of Appanoose County, for Gov ernor, adopted a platform and adjourned sine die tonight. The platform favors a tariff for revenue only, election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people, and demands the enactment of such legislation as will effectually destroy all trusts. The platform expresses sym pathy with the purposes of National la bor organizations as set forth In recent addresses by Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and others, calling on labor to assert its political rights at the ballot box. A resolution was adopted pledging to William J. Bryan the support of Iowa Democrats for the Presidency in 1908. Caucuses for the selection of members of the state committee disclosed the fact that the conservatives have control of the committee. There was but one cau cus in which there was a contest, the Ninth District, where J. J. Hughes,, of Council Bluffs, was elected after a fight had been made on him as not being a free silver man. This was the only evi dence of factionalism in the caucuses. The delegates went to work early, de voting themselves tn the main to the fight over the nomination for Governor. The so-called conservatives rallied around ex-Senator Ball, while the men who three years ago cornered the con vention for Hearst rallied around John Denison. The conservatives turned to ex-Senator Porter as a compromise, and then an effort was made to have ex Congressman . Wade enter the race. He refused, and worked for Ball. Daniel Hamilton, of Sigourney, the temporary chairman, spoke in part as follows: Unselfish Patriots Needed. What is greatly desired at this time Is American patriotism. Not the kind that can only be aroused by the noise of the cannon or by the strains of sweet music, but that kind ot Americanism that Is willing to lay aside self, party and all else and determine all question relating to the Government upon the principles of the welfare of the country first and self and political party as only secondary: that spirit ot citizenship that can not be swerved from Ita duty to man by any allegiance to the glitter of gold or the pros pect of individual preference or power, and that Is the spirit that dominates the Demo cratic party, which is reflected by Its almost unanimous preference for the Presidency In 1908 of the man who above all others rep resents the Amerlcon Ideal of "the man before the dollar." Drastic Measures of Keform. We are at thla time confronted with a con dition o0 affairs unparalleled In the history of our Nation and when we consider what haa taken place in this country in the last ten years, graft, fraud, bribery and corrup tion of every sort, the forming of great com binations into greater and unparalleled trusts, brazenry boldness on the part of the blood snickers of our national wealth and prosperity where they had hitherto shown some secrecy and temerity when we realise the magnitude of these things It becomes important for us to Inquire what haa produced these conditions and why all this graft, corruption and favorit ism, and what Is the remedy. The people at this time have a great work before them and one that calls for true American patriotism as well ae for deliberation and determination to be Just. Condition that prevail In great municipalities, state and national governments demand drastic measures, only limited by -a desire to be absolutely just, and any measure to accomplish these ends cannot be called radical until It has placed the relna of the Government In the hands of the people and released them from the influence of corporate Treed and selfish interest. People Must Regain Control. The control of affairs of the Government has gotten away from the people and it is necessary for them to come forward and re sume it. A false theory has arisen in .this country, both dangerous and vicious to the true American Ideal, and haa led us away from the true principles of Democracy. When this Government was established It was for the purpose of securing freedom, Independence, happiness and comfort for the whole people. No Idea of wealth or power was considered, only as It might result from the industry, iniegrtty and intelligence of the people: but It now seems that the time is psst and a epliit has crept Into the affairs of the Nation that haa made wealth and power Its ruldlng star and the Interests of the Individual but secondary. To become a world power and count Its gold has been the idea that has possessed the mind of those who by manipulations of one sort or another have succeeded In getting the ear of the powers that control the Govern ment. From this position we must recede If we wish to return to the people the principle of Democracy as taught by Jefferson and Jackson and Republicanism as taught oy Liu coin. i The time has come when there is to be a death struggle between the people upon the one hard and the Rockefellers, Morgans and their fellow associates on the other as to tiie control of the affairs of this Nation. Greetings Sent to Bryan. The chairman was instructed to send to William J. Bryan at Venice a mes sage extending the greeting of Iowa Democrats and "best wishes for a safe Journey home." When the convention reassembled the committee on resolutions was still at work on the platlarjiv Cato Sells, of Vinton, was elected chairman. The cre dentials committee reported that there were no contests. Platform of Many Planks. The platform unanimously adopted demands legislation to destroy trusts, favors rate regulation in low to give rates as low aa interstate Tates, fa vors a 2-cent passenger fare, a state primary law that will protect all par ties, election of United States Sena tors by direct vote of the people; fa vors laws to punish corporations for contributing to political funds; ex presses sympathy with the political programme of the National labor lead ers and favors assessment of railroads in Iowa by a nonpartisan commission. On the tariff Question the platform says: We believe In tariff for revenue only. There should be immediate relief granted to the peo ple now being robbed by extortionate prices exacted under shelter of the tariff. We be lieve the people who produce our wealth, who pay our taxes, who fight the battles of the republic, are entitled to purchase the goods manufactured In this country as cheaply as the people who reside abroad. We denounce the extortion inflicted upon our people under the pretense of protection as an outrage upon the consumer and upon the poor and upon the laboring people who produce the wealth of the country. We believe the tariff should be re moved from all trust-made goods and favor the removal of all duties from Iron, ateel, lumber and coal. We demand the enactment of such legislation as' will effectually destroy all trusts and the strict enforcement of all laws concerning the came. Peerless Leader Indorsed. The following was added as an in dorsement of Bryan: We indorse the exalted character, the -peerless statesmanship, the high-minded and pure personality of Democracy's conceded leader, William Jennings Bryan, and pledge him our unqualified support for the Presidency. Crittendon a Bryan Man. NEW YORK, Aug. 7. Thomas T. Crit tendon, of Kansas City, who was elected Governor of Missouri In 1880, and who Is the oldest living former Governor of that state, will be one of the Missouri dele gates who will come to this city to wel come Mr. Bryan. In a letter to the re ception committee he wrote: "I am out of politics, retired more by age than in clination, yet I want to be in again to see Mr. Bryan nominated for and elected President. I was not in full accord with his views on silver, but I believed then as I believe now, that he would make the best President ever In that chair." New Jersey Candidates for Congress. NEWARK, N.

WIN THEM TO CZAR'S SIDE Will Settle Agrarian Question and Seek Support ot Nation in Elec ' tlon on That Issue Two Officials Are Punished. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 7. The real intention of the government when it dissolved the lower house of Parlia ment, as revealed by a member of the Cabinet to the Associated Press this afternoon, shows that Premier Stoly pin at least intends to pursue and hold an affirmative policy amounting vir tually to a determination on the part of the administration to settle the agra rian question according to its own lights and irrespective of Parliament and then go to the country upon this Issue. Win- Peasants by Giving Land. The government expects to rally not only the landed interests but the mass of the peasants to its side by actually giving the latter, some relief instead of merely holding out hopes of a more advantageous settlement in the indefi nite future. Politically this movement may prove very strong. The actual be stowal of land, even if in smaller quan tities than expected, and the division of communistic holdings will, it is be lieved, make the peasantry disinclined to vote for candidates to the lower house who might propose a totally dif ferent solution of the question. Difficult to Raise Cash. But above all, individual possession, the government calculates, will incul cate that very respect for property the lack of which, under the system of communistic holdings, has made many peasants such easy converts to the theory of the nationalization of land. The crux of the question is its finan cial aspect. It will be a herculean oper ation to find the funds required to pur chase the private holdings which the project of Minister of Agriculture Stichlnsky contemplated acquiring through the land banks. Officials Are Discharged. The government is holding to strict accountability the responsible officials of the government institutions which are affected by the strike. Director Su veroff, of the large printing establish ment attached to the Official Messenger, where the compositors struck Monday, has been discharged and the Minister of Railways has demanded the resigna tion of Superintendent Laurence of the Ironoff Railroad, for permitting strik ers to interfere with traffic on his road. STRIKE WILL- BE CALLED OFF Radicals Make Fizzel and Moder ate Party Rejoices. ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 7 The Work men's Council has decided to call off the strike in St. Petersburg. This action dbes not apply to the provinces, but there te little doubt that the workmen there will follow St. Petersburg's example. More than half the factories here re sumed work this morning, and while the employes of some of the establishments at Moscow are still out, none of the pre dictions of the extreme parties who or ganized the strike movement were ful filled. Many of the trades unions totally refused to Join in it, the railway men, whose co-operation was vital, could not Good Merchandise Give-Away Sale of Trimmed Skirts for $3.25 Yes, today we're practically giving away the balance of these beautiful linen skirts, tastefully trimmed with fancy braid.

While the repressions and arrests of the leaders were undoubtedly a great factor in bringing about the present situation, it is apparent that the moment Was ill chosen for a strike. The people were not in the temper to support It. As a conse quence the revolutionary leaders have suffered a severe loss of prestige and the proletariat organizations through which they worked have been greatly injured in the eyes of the masses. The leaders of the nonrevolutlonary parties do not conceal their satisfaction over the defeat of their old allies of the extreme left, as they feared that a great strike with widespread disorders entail ing repressions might be used as Justi fication by the government to pass the elections and the assembling of a new Parliament. With comparative tranquil lity ahead they can hold the government to its promises and with political activ ity turned Into peaceful channels, the Constitutional Democrats of the more conservative type hope to regain the prestige they lost during the sessions of Parliament, while the new party of peace ful regeneration Is hopeful of a general reaction from radicalism, which will cre ate a more sane and healthier state of public opinion. , Premier Stolypin, with his hands free, it is said, will also have a better chance of realizing his policy of "strong-handed" reform. The Novoe Vremya today an nounced that the Cabinet, If things go well, is ready to submit the budget of 1907 to Parliament when it assembles in February. MAKE SURE OF KILLING HIM Governor of Samara's Assassin Tells of Terrorists Plan. SAMARA, Aug. 7. The assassin of M.

Strike Collapses in Moscow. MOSCOW, Aug. 7. Several red flag dem onstrations were broken up last night by Dragoons, but the city generally Is quiet. The central committee of the railroad men's union has refused to co-operate in the strike, which is col lapsing. Many of the factories are re suming work and the electric plant is again in operation. The strike organ izers lay much of the blame for the situation to the Social Revolutionists, who favor deferring the atrike until Autumn. Glories in Strike's Failure. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 7. The Minis try of the Interior has issued a statement describing the strike as a complete fail ure, it having attained serious dimensions nowhere except in St. Petersburg and Moscow. The statement says further that the factory inspectors are of the opinion that most of the factories will be work ing full strength before the end of the week. ' . Will Not Suspend Cash Payments. ST.

WERE POACHING FISHERS Cutter McCulIoch Captures Survi vors of Party Which Violated New Fishery Law Regret Expressed to Japan. NEW YORK. Aug. 7. A special to the Tribune from Washington says: A report of the killing of five Japanese fishermen and the capture of 12 Japanese prisoners on Attu Islands, the western most of the Aleutian group, the prisoners having been taken by the revenue cutter McCulIoch, commanded by Captain J. C. Cantwell, was made to the Department of Commerce and Labor today by Edwin W. Sims, Solicitor for the Department, who .Is In Alaska to enforce the law prohibit ing all persons not citizens of the United States from fishing in Alaskan waters. The Japanese killed were shot by Amer icans on Attu Island before the McCul Ioch arrived. Lawrence O. Murray, Acting Secretary of Commerce and IJabor, promptly turned the cable dispatch over to Robert Bacon, Acting Secretary of State. Mr. Bacon will Immediately communicate the Information he has received to the Japanese Ambassa dor and will express regret that the Japa nese poachers were so summarily dealt with. Because of the encroachment of Japa nese fishermen and sealers In Alaskan waters. Congress was obliged during the session Just ended to enact two laws calculated to encourage the fishing indus try of Alaska among Americans and to prohibit Japanese and other aliens from engaging In it. The cable dispatch from Mr. Sims does not make entirely clear the character of the offense of which the Japanese were guilty, but It does show that the officers and crew of the McCulIoch were in no way responsible for the killing ot the fishermen, and that those who were cap tured were trespassers on American terri tory, having come ashore probably to salt and cure their catch. There Is no reason to expect interna tional complications as a result of the in. cident, but there is no question that the situation in the Aleutian Islands, espe cially as it affects the Japanese, is a deli cate one, and that numerous difficulties are" certain to be encountered in enforcing the laws protecting American citizens' and their rights. Skilled Men Wanted on Canal. CHICAGO. Aug 7. The Government wants 500 skilled mechanics for service on the Panama Canal. Henry A.
