Others whose names were placed before the convention for the presidential nomination were Senator | Smith W, Brookhart, Towa, Republican, | recently defeated for renomination by Henry Field, and Norman Thomas, New York Socialist. NOMINEE DISAGREES. | | Webb Unable to Accept Clause Urging | Utilities Ownership. | Frank Elbridge Webb in a telegram | from his office here last night accepted | the nomination as presidential candi- | date of the new “Liberal party,” but | disagreed with his supporters on the | question of Government ownership of | public utilities. “I accept your nomination and ap- prove your platform with the exception | of your wording Government ownership | of ‘public utilities,” Webb telegraphed | the new party organizers in Kansas | City. “Same in my opinion should | be ‘Government supervision of public utilities.” “I am not in favor of the Govern- ment being in business, but the Govern- ment should have general supervision. “The exception, if such could be called | one which I strongly favor, is the Government to have absolute control under_the law of the proper moneys and the distribution thereof and full control over the Federal Reserve ac- tivities.” He added he recognized that the prime issues in the campaign would be relief, economics, revision of banking laws. “An intensive campaign must be in- stituted and the entire populace shown that it is our intention and desire to be safe and sane and administer the | Jaws for one and all and bring the Go;'em.ment back to the people,” Webb ‘It is not my desire to straddle or evade any issue such as the two major parties have done,” he concluded.

The major went first to see Mr. Kirk- wood. After a brief conversation with him, he took the keys and started off for Hazelmoor. He had told Evans to meet him there at 12 o'clock and he found the faithful retainer waiting on the door- step. With a rather grim face, Maj. Burnaby inserted the key into the front door and passed into the empty house. Evans at his heels. He had not been in it since the night of the tragedy, and in spite of his o iron determination to show no weak- ness, he gave a slight shiver as he passed the drawing room. Evans_was deft and efficient at bis work. Everything was neatly sorted and arranged and classified in heaps. At 1 o'clock they repaired to the ‘Three Crowns for a short midday meal. At half past three their task was finished. One trunk of clothes and un- derclothes was allotted to Evans, and another was strapped up ready to be| sent to the Seamen's Orphanage.
