COLUMBUS, Ohio, August 26.—The Democratic party of Ohio, in State convention today, adopted as its plat- form declaration on the Ku Klux Klan, the pronouncement of its national standard bearer, John W. Davis, in his recent Sea Girt, N. J., speech. The plank said: “Whenever any organization, no matter what it chooses to be called, whether Ku Klux Klan or any other name, raises the standard of racial or religious belief as a test of fitness for public office, it does violence to the spirit of American institutions and must be condemned by all who believe in American ideals.” The resolutions committee had ap- proved the anti-Klan plank by a vote of 11 to 7. There was general cheering when the secretary read the plank be- fore the convention. Committee Changes. Durbin was supplanted as chairman of the State executive committee by Robert T. Scott of Cambridge and Heer was replaced as the chairman of the State central committee by Thomas F. Dye of Urbana. The test of strength of the opposing factions came on the selection of a temporary chairman at the organization of the new State central committee. Socott received 13 votes and Heer 6, with 3 absent on the roll call. Realizing that it would be futile to wage battle for re-election as executive chairman in the face of the line-up for central his name to be presented, and Mr. Dye's election was made by acclama- tion. Clarence N. Greer of Dayton was re-elected secretary of the cen- tral committee without opposition. The convention is scheduled to meet at 10:30 and conclude its busi- ness before 1 o'clock, when Mr. Davis is to deliver his address from the convention platform. He is scheduled to arrive from the East at 9:45 this morning. He also is to appear at the State fair about 3 o'clock and make a short address in front of the grandstand. ROCKVILLE.

The arrest of William D. Beatty and seizure of several pints of "liquor _precipitated the trouble. Harrison Ricks, the other man ar- rested, was charged with interfering with an officer. Russel Magruder, trict farmer, reported to Policeman Lawrence Claget yesterday morn- ing that while he and his family were at the Rockville Fair last week his home was broken into and jewelry, cash and other articles to the value of $200 stolen.

Record Vote Cast for Texas Man Who Put Ban on Midnight Flogging By Conolidated Press. FORT WORTH, Tex., August 26. Dan Moody made midnight whippi parties go out of style in his neigl borhood and he has been rewarded by Texas Democrats with a record- breaking vote for attorney general. His final triumph, won after two exciting campaigns, was scored Sat- urday, and he is resting quletly now Preparatory to moving to Austin. Young, brilllant, dashing Moody won his way into the imagination of the voters by his tactics, and his majority leads all the others in the State’s Ku Klux Klan fiight, just over. Moody lives in central Texas, a section of black land farms and straightlaced Democratic politics. He was chosen district attorney four years ago annd intrusted with the prosecution of major crime in two counties, including Travis, of which Austin, the State capital, Is county seat. Epldemic of Flogging Starts. About the time Moody's second term started, an epidemic of midnight floggings broke out over Texas. Vic- tims were thrown into autos by masked men, driven into the coun- try, whipped and then returned to some busy corner and there dumped upon the pavement. Ofttimes the victims were smeared over with tar. Notes, reminding them of law in- fraction, were pinned to them. It all was a warning to law- breakers. The epidemic In course of time touched Moody's district-—but it did not spread there. A traveling salesman was dragged from his motor car, while touring in the country with a woman one night, flogged, covered with the usual coating and dumped out on the streets of Taylor, Willlam- son_County. When Dan Moody went over to Taylor and said he was going to en- force the law, there was not much interest at first, for folks had become NN Plenty of Parking Space - Stormtight Asbestos Roof Covering —for any roof in any weather.

Black, Gal., $2.00 accustomed to such floggings and had never known of any prosecutions. But when Dan went before the grand jury with evidence that resulted in indictments, public opinion formed in line behind him and eventually the cases were docketed and called for trial. There were convictions, peni- tentiary sentences and affirmations of sentences on appeals. Members of Whippimg Squad Jailed. Members of the “whipping squad” are in prison, others are seeking to escape by a fight in the higher courts. Testimony connected the Klan with the whippings. The prosecutions and convictions lted in a state-wide demand on Moody to run for office as a candidate of the anti-Klan. He carried his fight into every part of the State, invading the Klan strong- holds and winning many of the €o- called Klan counties. Moody had two opponents in the fleld in the first campaign. He failed by a very few hundred votes to re- celve a majority over the three and was forced into the run-off, which he won by more than 200,000.
