Democratic ticket named for Ohio offices at Columbus
The Ohio Democratic state convention in Columbus nominated for 1903: Governor Tom L. Johnson, Lieutenant Governor Frank B. Niles of Toledo, Supreme Judge Edward J. Dempsey of Cincinnati, Attorney General Frank S. Monnet of Columbus, Treasurer W. J. Dahl of Washington, Auditor Charles A. Kloebe of Wapakoneta, School Commissioner J. H. Secrest of Ottawa, and Public Works T. H. B. Jones of Ironton. The Johnson program aligned with the 1902 platform, denouncing trusts and imperialism, urging home rule and tax reform, and backing initiative and referendum. The convention also settled the U S Senate contest in Clarke’s favor after a contentious ballot. A new state central committee and resolutions list were adopted.
