For the purpose of nominating can dictates to represent the party on the county ticket in the coming election, the Democrats of Wayne county gath ered this afternoon In mass convention In the Pythian Temple, the first ses Dion convening at 2 o'clock. It was not a large crowd that County Chair man Charles B. Beck called to order, hut the enthusiasm of the party lead ers was strong and early mention of the name of Governor Marshall, John W. Kern and the Hon. Flnly. H. Gray brought forth loud cheers. The real business of the convention did not begin until after routine mat ters had been considered. The plat form, containing no especial features aside from a plea that the minority party be represented in county govern meat, follows: Platform Adopted. "The Democrats of Wayne County, In mass convention assembled, hereby re-affirm their loyalty to Democratic principles and policies as set forth In their last national and state platforms. M We earnestly approve the administration of Governor Thomas R. Mar shall, ma honest, capable' and efficient, and conducted In the Interest of the whole people of the state.

We heartily, indorse the nomination of Hon. Flnly H. Gray, as our candi date for Congress, and "pledge him our united and enthusiastic support In the coming election. '"We believe in politicd parties as the proper means for the promotion of good government in our republic; but we place our obligations as citizens above those of party, whenever there is any conflict between them. "We believe that la the administration of publio business, honesty, capacity and economy should ever be re garded as the practical, working stand ard; and that nowhere is this needed more than in the conduct of local af faire. - . -W ... "We believe,: as national politics has no proper connection with the business administration of county af fairs, that at least one member of the minority party should She chosen on the Board of Commissioners of every county, and that two representatives of the , minority should ' be members of the county council. "We believe, where the majority party has failed to maintain the true standard of honesty, capacity and gen eral fitness, in the nomination of any county1 officers, there it is the duty of all good citizens, regardless of party. to defeat any such nominees by giving their support to well-qualified and proper , candidates lor such offices. And we demand that this convention name as candidates, for the various offices none but men who can fully meet this high standard. ' BRILLIANT WEDOIIIG ' (American News Service) London, June 8.

lican Queries as to Whether Kern or Marshall is Heading Campaign. SILENCE OF KERN ON BRIBERY HURTING HIM Why Does He Not Explain the Charges Made Against Shively The ? Republicans are Busily Inquiring. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis. June 8. Republicans are taking advantage of the predicament the ;t ; democratas i. have placed themselves in this 1 year in reference to the leadership of the campaign. They are pointing out that it is up to Governor Marshall, to lead the demo cratic hosts if they are to be led, and that on his shoulders will fall the responsibility of pulling : the ticket through to victory. This, the republicans say, Is brought about by the fact that Governor Marshall forced the democrats to , accept his plans of nominating a candidate for United States senator at the. state convention. The nominee for United States senator, as a result of that development ought to be. the recognized leader, of the party in the campaign, they say, but instead of this being the case Kern is In the background and the governor is the biggest man in the democratic .limelight. 1 . . Heaps of Trouble. It Is pointed out by the republicans that Kern has made heaps of trouble for himself and his party by his failure thus far to make good his charge, made year ago that he was defeated for senator at the last session of the legis lature by the buying up of eight mem bers of the legislature by the brewers. At that time his charge was, as everybody knows that the brewers wished to elect Shively senator, and i, that al though he (Kern) had more than enough votes pledged to him to nomi nate him In the party caucus the brew ers captured , eight or them and took them over to Shively, thus electing him and defeating Kern. ' For some time Kern hammered that charge into the party and gave out public interviews on the subject in which he did not mince words about It. This, of course, angered the Shively people and made them good and sore at Kern. He has been in disfavor with them ever since. - Then Governor Marshall came along with his plan to have the, state con vention nominate a candidate for senator instead of leaving it to the democratic members of the legislature to decide on their candidate for senator. The Shively faction was opposed to this plan and fought it to the bitter end. ' before and in the convention. They fought it so hard that when the j vote was taken on the question of Continued on Page Seven.)

Taken Of Curtiss During His

A DOLLAR

I once took a dollar watch to pieces just to see how it was made. I never used the watch afterward but it afforded me with a dollar's worth of satisfaction, entertainment, and pure unadulterated joy to find out how the wheels go around and why it was a quarter after three and not ten minutes after eleven. It is noticeable that many people all humanity like to tinker. They like to do things themselves. s

I expect you noticed those very good advertisements prepared by the advertising man of a hardware store in this town. He used some mighty good SELLING TALK about a certain varnish which we will call "Satsuma," for the sake of illustration. '- - He recognized the fact that pretty nearly all of us like to paint to do the work ourselves. , Then he told how this particular sort of predigested enamel could be put on any old way and would smooth out of its own accord. HE TOLD THE TRUTH ABOUT HIS PRODUCT. That was necessary. His customers might buy the first time because he wrote good copy and HAD CONFIDENCE IN ADVERTISING. But they did come back and wanted MORE. He told them just what they wanted to know. . He recommended its use for old furniture, for floors HE INVENTED USES FOR HIS SATSUMA. He told how much it COST a little more than other varnishes but showed that it was more economical in the end and that ANYBODY COULD USE IT and HOW to use it.

You have probably guessed what happened. People came to the store and bought it, they telephoned for it. that they wanted "THE KIND THAT WAS IN THE PAPER."

Ing

., He used six advertisements 30 inches in each advertisement. "Satsuma" has been on his shelves for four years and has had but' a : HE PUT TT ON THE MARKET BY ADVERTISING. He put it on the market by telling the people EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANTED TO . KNOW ABOUT IT. He told them HOW TO USE IT. His advertising cost him about eight dollars and he has SOLD TEN TIMES THAT AMOUNT already AND PEOPLE ARE STILL BUYING

The FIRST ADVERTISEMENT he used created A DEMAND FOR HIS PRODUCT. It Is worth that to talk to our readers. A thirty inch advertisement in the Palladium costs 94.20 to $7.80 per day. But unless you TELL SOMETHING in your ADVERTISEMENTS you can not expect the f ull benefit. v " There is too much "bill board" advertising in this town. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH SELLING TALK. , , . Just give your readers something to think about and you wiU. want -to use MORE ADVERTISING. That is the reason for this talk.

When men come into your store, you tell them all about your goods. If it Is a camera, you show them how easy it is to operate; a grocery, you t tell them how the rains have affected the strawberries and that you have ' some of those last luscious little fellows that are the best of the whole crop. THEY BUY, If you looked at the ceiling and told them over and , over again that you were running a GROCERY how long would you be .'" In business? - ':..r: -r : ; : Here they are all ANXIOUS TO KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE TO SELL and you tell them the only things that they i can r gather by observation your name and address. If it were not that ADVERTISING OF MOST EVERY SORT DOES SOME GOOD you would not any. more than get your money back in advertising.

WE WANT OUR ADVERTISERS TO USE GOOD COPY because we know that it will make them more prosperous and enable them to DO MORE ADVERTISING. We have an EFFECTIVE, HONEST ADVERTISING PAPER. The Palladium goes into OVER TWO i THIRDS of the homes. We can furnish the CIRCULATION of the MOST VALUE to the advertiser

FULLY MILLION SLEPT IN OPEN LAST NIGHT It is Thought That Three Hundred People Were Killed by Quake, but List of Injured is Not Great. f American News Service) Naples, June 8. Fresh tremors In Italy's earthquake stricken district today threw the population Into panic as serious as that occasioned by the first shocks. At Avellino. King Victor Emmanuel and Queen Helena, who in sisted on joining him in the tour of the affected territory, appeared before the people in an effort to check their fright Not even the royalties, however, could reassure the terrified. Fully a million people slept out of doors last night and when day came re fused to venture, into their homes again even for cooking. , Camps have been pitched around all towns in the midst of Italy from which word reaches here. Army tents are in de mand. The latest advices give the follow, ing as the table of known dead: ' List of Known Dead. Avellino, 25; Valetta, 1; San Pale di Potenzi, 6; Castell Basonia, V, dan chi, 1; San Sesslc, 10; Calitri, 50. It is believed that when the full list Is secured and the fatalities from the outlying districts have been learn ed that the death roll will run far high er. Government officials stated today that the first estimate of 300 will not be too high. The towns today are under martial law, troops patrolling streets, curbing the frightened people and directing the work of rescuing the dead and injured in the worst stricken towns. Field hospitals have been set up at many points, and surgeons have been detailed to go through the remoter dis tricts, to aid the injured on the farms. The comparatively small number of injured is one of the peculiar features of the earthquake. Officials today estimated the seriously, wounded to.be less than the dead, This is believed to be due to the fact that the time between the first shock and the second gave the people opportunity to escape.

Robert Smith, pastor of the the First Baptist Church of this ity. has accepted an invitation to deliver the address.
