The principal fight was over the
senatorial nomination, and it required
six ballots to arrive at a choice. The
senatorial nominee is the present at
torney general of the state. The con
vention refused to abide by the state
committee's platform committee and
elected a committee. Messrs. Searle,
McBrlen and Eaton are up for re
election. The convention refused to
re-nominate Secretary of State Galu
sha, basing its refusal on his failure
to abide by the last state conven
tion's demand that all state officers
return their railroad passes.
The platform adopted Is of , the

The principal discussion in the con
vention was over the proposition to
endorse county option in temperance
legislation, the proposition being defeated.
The report of the resolutions com-i
mittee as presented declared for coun
ty home rule in the matter of taxation,
1. e., each county to raise only what
It needs for Its own expenses and its
citizens authorize; demanded that
railroads and other public service cor
porations be assessed at not less than
their saleable' value as going con
cerns; that a tax be levied on all
franchise privileges as on other prop
erty which, now; .although o2 reat
value, pay nothing towards the burd
ens of government; advocated home
rule for each municipality and their
right to inaugurate municipal owner
ship through the medium of the in
itiative 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 sena
tors by direct vote of the people by
the adoption of the so-called Oregon
plan was favored.

referendum in state and local affairs

in the matter of the granting of fran
chises. In order to secure purity of elec
tions the repeal of all special Hmita-
I tions as to time within which criminal
prosecutions may be begun for brib
ery ill elections was favored.

tee was directed to require that dele
gates to the state convention be se
lected by primaries, or delegate con
ventions to be selected by primaries,
such selection to be made by precinct
primaries.

corporations the resolutions say:
"The refusal of the republican ma
jority in the national house of repre
sentatives to pass the bill pending
before the late session of congress,
providing that insurance companies
and other corporations and trusts
should be hereafter prohibited from
contributing money to political cor-
f ruption funds, isr a vital issue in the
present campaign for the election of
members of congress. As the meas
ure was an Important one and essen
tial before congress for the control of
trusts the republican majority should
be held responsible for the bill's cow
ardly defeat by being smothered in
committee."
The voters' attention was called to
the fact that the democratic vfotnrv in
the state last fall had the following
railroad fare; the passng of a atat
and county salary law replacing tho

Bryan was adopted unanimously.
A WISE MOTHER'S RULE
The mother of John Wesley and
Charles Wesley and seventeen other
children was a most remarkable wom
an beautiful in person, and spiritually-minded.
She gave to her son,
John, this rule of life: "Whatever
weakens your reason, impairs the ten
derness of your conscience, obscures
your sense of God, or takes off the
relish of spiritual things in ".hort,
whatever increases' the strength and
authority of your body over your mind
that thing Is sin to you, however
innocent it may be in itself." Ram's
