Commissioner, 3rd Diet., GEORGE ro.X, Carpenter township. A preliminary meeting was held in the forenoon at the court house and a temporary organization effected, and at 1:80 p. m., the convention proper convened, with every chair in the east court room occupied and many standing up about the walls of the room. E, P. Honan was made temporary chairman and N. Littlefield secretary.

On reports being made by the various committes, including that on permanent organization, Mr. Lee E. Glazebrook was recommended fpr permanent chairman and Judson J. Hunt for secretary. Mr. Honan made a nice little talk on surrendering the chair, as did Mr. Glazebrook on assuming it. The nominations were all by acclamation except sheriff, the name of Mr. N. Osborne of Gillam being * presented for the office together with Mr. Hoover’s. A vote was taken but Mr. Osborne got np and moved that Hoover’s nomination be made unanimous before the vote was announced. z Delegates and alternates were selected to the state convention, but owing to the fact that many from the out townships wanted to get home the convention instructed the county central committee to select the delegates to the district conventions. In the election of delegates to the state convention the name of Joseph Fenzil of Walker was put out at the last moment in opposition to “J. Bowie” by a few of those from the north part of the county who had no faith in the latter’s “democracy.” The Bowie foisters, however, had got In their work and he got some 52 votes to Fenzll’s 42, and the Jasper county delegates consisted of six democrats and “J. Bowie.” ■The names_©f the state delegates and alternates follow: Delegates. _ ~ Alternates. Simon Fendig George O. Stembel John Bowie Frank W. Fisher E P. Honan W. B. Yeoman N.

The resolutions adopted by the convention follow: We, the Democrats of Jasper County, in delegate convention assembled, submit to the voters of Jasper county the following resolutions: Resolved, that in William J. Bryan we recognize a peerless, courageous and superb leader and foremost Democrat of this day; that we renew our allegiance to him and instruct our delegates to the State convention to vote for delegates to the national convention who will vote for him first, last and all the time as the nominee of out party to lead us to victory in November. «We commend the splendid action of our Representatives In the Congress of the United States in the stand they have taken in safeguarding the finances of our country and in upholding the President of the United States in promulgating Democratic measures beneficial to the common people and against predatory corporations. We commend the action of our Representatives in the last General Assembly of Indiana in their effort to defeat vicious legislation and in compelling the dominant party to enact at least_ a few laws in the interest of the overburdened taxpayers of our commonwealth. We point with pride to the conduct of their officers of the former Democratic officials of Jasper county and in the faithful discharge of their duties in the Interest of all tax-payers, and we pledge the nominees of this convention, if elected, to so conduct the affairs of their

respective offices that taxes will be reduced, economy will be the watchword and the efficiency of the service will not be curtailed or deteriorated, and the ruthless waste of the tax-payers* money stopped. Local self government being one of the cardinal principles of Democracy, we favor the enactment of a local option law in furtherance of the cause of temperance and to aid and supplement the present liquor laws of our state. Believing that laws should be enacted guaranteeing absolute security of the depositors in banks, we recommend the adoption of a plank in our state platform pledging our party to the enactment of a law guaranteeing deposits in the banks of our state.
