Convention Nominates T. S. Riley Over Horner in West Virginia
In Clarksburg August 22 the first district Democratic convention backed ex Attorney General T. S. Riley of Wheeling, routing young radical Thomas R. Horner. Riley’s name was pressed while he was in Canada and likely unavailable to accept. Horner delivered a strong speech but Marion county’s solid vote kept Riley ahead. The platform denounced Republicans except Roosevelt, endorsed organized labor and rate regulation, and urged two cent railroad fares. The convention adjourned after a roll call showing Riley leading Horner in votes.
