Columbus, O., Aug. 22.—The Ohio
Demucratfe convention adjourned early
thin afternoon. The efforts of A. I..
Finley and others to force Into the
platform a county local option plunk
met with defeat on the floor of the con*

platform favors local home rule, more
railroad and franchise taxes, no passes,
the referendum, condemns boodle, boss-
es and machines, urges a bank Inspec
tion law, pralsea the late Governor Pat-
tlson, declares state levy, should be
abolished, direct vote for United States
r.enutors und Indorses Bryan for presl-
dent.
State Chairman Garber and hi*

That’s the way the three principal
races In the elly. county and stale
primaries look, although It Is Impossi
ble to form any accurate judgment.
.The vest pocket vote predominates
these days and times, and a little
shouting may prove a very false clew.
It la generally regarded that Hoke
. Smith-will, get a-maJorUy of »t-least
1,500 votes and some think It will run
up to more than 3,000.
The sensation of the day has been the
furore about T. H. Goodwin, candl
date for mayor against W. R. Joyner.
Wise politicians, however, think that
the spurt he has taken In public opin
ion Is due rather to unexpected atrength
than tp getting more votes than Jfiyner.
Hoke Smith will carry every ward
In the city, It Is believed, except the
Seventh, the Eighth and possibly the
Sixth.. It Is nip and tuck In the latter
ward, however. The First, the Third;
the Fourth and the Fifth are regarded
a* certain for Smith. He will get more
vote* In the county precincts than
Howell. Russell will get a fair vote,
and the others practically none.
The few contests for councilman and
alderman have excited but little Inter
est in the Individual wards und practi
cally none In the city at large.
t-’l> to 3 o'aolck not u single row,
fight or disturbance had occurred that
was serious enough to call fur the po
lice. -
livery ward Is well patrolled. In the
county precincts It has been very quiet.
litre are the atorie* of the wards:
FIR8T WARD.
Registration, 1,181.
. City vots at 2:30 o'clock, 535.
Slate and county vote at 2:30 o’clock,
534,
The voting was not so fast during
'he middle of the day as during the
early hours, and the result 'In a num
ber of races will be undecided until
•he vote is counted at the close of the
Mis.
Iloke Smith shows a strength In the
’'»id whichIlls friends predict will
hrlr.x him a majority. The county
lre a *urer rate Is uncertain. Dr. Bas
kin leads fqr councilman. Curtis and
l uHolle sepm to be ahead of Htlburn
; alderman. Men who are Interested
>n neither candldute to a great extent
predict that Goodwin will carry the
Ward.

Reflietration, 2,179.
City vota at 2:30 o'clock, 1,127.
5‘ate and county vots at 2:30 o'clock,
1,150.
At this hour the crowd around the
‘"art h ,u*» corner had reduced Its en-
Hnmlnsin to husky yelling for Goodwin
and Joyner. Money was freely offered
!’■" each side, but was not tdken. Every-
named to bet, but no money was
evidence. Wearers of Hoke Smith
badges were greatly in the majority
■On) While they were not crying the
name of their favorite In the city race,
hm advanced his candidacy. Voting
' a- been brisk ever since the polls
■'lamed for business and at thl* hour
a number are still In line.
THIRD WARD.
Registration, 1,547.
City vote up to 2:30 o’clock, 824.
State and county vote Up to 2:30
'■clock, 871.

'""ring the day up to 2:10 o'clock waa
Tie appearance of two registered voter*

FOURTH WARD.
Registration, 1,179,
City vet* st 2:30 o’eloek, 556.
Stats and county vote st 2:30
o’clock, 665.
Voting opened up briskly at the
fourth ward polls Wednesday morning,
and within the first hour and a half
200 ballots were cast. The city and
county voting places were about
yards apart, and the Intervening space
was. filled with heelers of the various
candidates. One energetic partisan
had the name of his favorite on the
widest part of a broom In boxcar let
ters, and waved It at each approach
ing voter.
The flrst man to cast his vote tn the
ward for state and county officers
wus H. Lewis, and for city officials
was Hugh D. Carter.
No trouble of any kind had been re
ported at the polling places up until
2:20 o’clock.. Goodwin was conceded to
have had the advantage earlier In the
day, but at this hour the Joyner men
claim that their candidate Is running
neck and neck with Goodwin and will
carry the ward. Both Dr. B. E. Pearce
and M. M. Turner claim to be In the
lend for councilman.
Hoke Smith is easily far In the lead
for the governorship and will probably
get three votes to Howell’s 1.
FIFTH WARD.

" county treasurer.
nn*ld»-able local Interest Is felt In
match within earshot nt-the noli* . 1 Ti
feature and the'belief that there will be
a record-breaking vote cast are being
talked of widely.
It has been estimated that between
1,000 and 1,250 of the possible 1,167
oters registered will visit the polls.
The gubernatorial race was settled In
the minds of most of those who kept
close to the polls about noon, and since
that time the chief topic of conversa
tion has been the mayornllty race.
Much monev has been flashed on
both sloes. Bets that Joyner would
carry the city were. refused, and the
Joyner men refused money that Good-
win would carry three or more wards.
It Is believed that Smith will poll
three votes to Howell's one.
SIXTH WARD.
Registration, 1.648.
City vot* up to 2:30 o’eloek, 985. ■
State and county vot* up to 2:30

In the stream of voters.

to 1, but Howell men say their man will
win out At this hour Indications are
that Hoke Smith Is leading.

City vot* up to 2:30 o'eloek, 298.
Stats and county vot* up to 2:30

The Eighth ls taking It serenely.
With the smallest registration of any
ward In the city, the voters go quietly
up. cast their ballot and go away to
business. Very few worker* or hang
ers-on were about.
At this hour Jt looks like a practical
split between Rowell and Smith. Joy
ner ts leading for mayor, and the vote
for county treasurer Is so divided that
no one can tell who is leading.
Indications are that almost the en
tire registered vote will be polled.

Selma, Ala., Aug. 22.—There was a
wholesale J^ll delivery about 2 o’clock
thl* morning, eight negro prisoners
making their escapes from the Dallas
county bastlle. One of the escapes,
John Westley, was awaiting Urlal for
murder. Another alleged murderer,
Dillard Steel, failed to get out with
the rest and was found hiding behind
a trunk in the front part of the build
ing. The negroep had to break through
the iron bars and doors of two cells
across a hallway and then break Into
another cell before they got to the
place where the entrance into the main
walk around was made. They then
climbed up three stories of iron slatted
floors, having to bend back the Irons j
before they could pull themselves
through. They then broke out the sky
light and having gained Mie roof,
themselves down to the ground by
means of blankets. It was almost In*
conceivable that such work could hav#i
bean done and not be detected.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 22.—Apparently
well authenticated reports are to the
amazing CTTecr that Count Witte has
been summoned to return to Russia and
take Premier Stol.vpln’s place as prem
ier, and that M. Kuropatkln, who has
been in disgrace sinfe the defeat of
the Russian army by the Japanese at
Mukden, Is to be made secretary of war
with instructions to remodel the whole
military establishment, and if possible
to weed out the disaffected elements.
Neither of these reports have official
sanction yet, but they are believed in
high quartern. Stolypln has failed In
his effort .to restore order nn«l to pla
cate the peasants, while the entire
army again I* In a state bordering on
chaos. It may be posslblo for Witte
and Kuropatkln to do better, but few
believe It.
There has been little, If any Improve-
mtnt in the situation throughout the
country. Political assassinations are
being committed with horrible frequen
cy, the Industrial centers are t. ethlng
with discontent and rebellion, while tbe
peasants are In a state of partial an
archy all over the country.
If IVItte were given a free hand to
Inaugurate' such reforms as he might
deem necessary, he might be able to
accomplish something. Rut nobody be
lieves he will be. His hands will l*
tied Just as Htolypin’s are and the re
sult, according to the best opinion, * II
be the same.
