CONVENTION GETS INTO SNARL Selection of Vice President Involves Delegates in Deep Parli mentary Tangle. Columbus, Ohio, July 18. — For president, Eugene W. Chafin, Chicago; for vice president, Aaron S. Watkins, Ada, Ohio. The above ticket was nominated yesterday by the Prohibitionist nation- al convention, both men being chosen unanimously. The full indorsement of the convention was not, however, given to Mr. Chafin until after three ballots had been taken. On the first two ballots Mr. Chafin did not show f great amount of strength, receiving but 195 out of 1,083 votes on the first, and 376 out of 1,087 on the second ballot. On the third ballot he received a total of 636 votes. The strongest competitor of Mr. Chafin was Rey. William B.

It was decided to make Mr. Palmore the vice presidential nominee and he was named by accla- mation. He declined to accept the of- fice, however, and persisted in his it- titude despite the strong urgings of his friends. The convention, finding itself confronted with the necessity of naming another vice presidential can- didate and many of the delegates be- ing anxious to catch the early night trains for their) homes, became in- volved in a deep parliamentary tan- gle. The rules were several times suspended and the suspensions imme- diately revoked. Finally it was de- cided that Prof. Aaron S. Watkins of Ada, Ohio, should be named by accla- mation. There was no opposition to him at the moment, and Chairman Charles Scanlon was on the verge of declaring Prof. Watkins the nominee when delegates in various parts of the hall broke in with a flood of motions, counter-motions, amendments and sus- pensions of the rules. Watkins Nominated. An extended debate followed, which finally resulted in the restoration of the rules and a ballot for the rice presidency. Three men were named, Prof. Watkins,'T. B, Demaree of Ken- tucKy and Charles §S. Roller of Indi- ana. The ballot resulted in the nomi- natio nof Prof. Watkins by an over- whelming majority, and he was im- mediately thereafter, upon motion of the Kentucky delegates, made the unanimous choice of the convention. Both the presidential and vice presi- dential nominees are candidates for governor in their respective states on the Prohibition tickets. The forenoon session of the conven- tion was devoted to the discussion and adoption of a brief platform, which is probably the shortest on ree- ord, containing not more than 350 words.

Opposes Cutting Wages as Solution of Railroad Problem. New York, July 19.—There are just three ways in which the problem now facing the railroads of the country may be solved, namely, increased rates, decreased wages or increased business, in the opinion of J. T. Hara- han, president of the Illinois Central railroad, who arrived here yesterday on the steamer Mauretania after a vacation trip to Europe. James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern railroad, is of the opinion that the only solution of the financial problem that confronts the railroads is an increase in freight rates. Mr. Hill is strongly opposed to a cut in wages as a means of in- creasing the net earnings of the rail- roads. Mr. Hill, who has just returned from a fishing trip in Canada, made the fol- lowing statement yesterday: “There is no alternative but to raise rates. The credit of the railroads has been seriously impaired. The way to enhance credit is to increase rates. “Wages should not be cut. Efficient labor is essential.to successful opera- tion. Railroad employes have pecul- far responsibilities. They have to meet a hard test. They should get fair recompense. Cut wages 10 per cent and the man who got $15 last week gets $13.50 this week. It is the dif- ference between meat and no meat. “Freight rates in this country are low beyond comparison. Receiving but one-half and even one-third of rates received in European countries, the wages paid railroad employes here average 100 per cent higlter than those paid in Europe.” © EMPEROR IS ILL.
