VOL. LIV.—NO. 169 CHAFIN AND, WATKINS NOMINATED Prohibitionists Select the Standard Bearers of 1908 For Another Campaign NO ACTION REGARDING CHANGE OF NAME “Progressive” and “Conservation” Suggcéted as New Name For Party, But Delegates Were in Too Great Hurry to Get Home to Consider Matter—Leading La Follette Sup- porters Go Over to Wilson—Roosevelt on Sectionalism. Atlantic City, N, national prohibition convention con- cluded its labors here tonight with the nomination of the party standard bearers of four years ago—Eugene W. Chafin of Arizona for president and Aaron S. Watkins of Ohio for vice president. In each case the momina- tion was made by acclamation aft- a single ballot had indicated the preference of the delegates. Five Candidates For President. Four candidates for president were placed in nomination against Mr. Chafin. They were I./W. Emerson of J., “July 12—The California; I“inley C.- Henmdrickson of Maryland ron §. Watkins of Ohio and Andrew Jackson of Houston, Tex. Each in turn withdrew his name aft- er the first ballot. Mr. Houston creat- ing enthusiasm by the statement that he would rather receive the lowest vote in the prohibition convention than the highest in either the demo- cratic or republican conventions. Chafin Won't Take Nomination Again. The leading candidates against Mr. Watkins for vice president were Mr. Emerson of California and George B. Stockwell of New York. Both of the candidates made brief speeches. Mr. Chafin said he regarded the nomina- tions as the greatest political honor bestowed upon any man this year. He thanked the convention for his second nomination and promised not to stand for a third one. More Money if Name is Changed. After the nomination of officers the convention was forced to rush its business to a conclusion as many of the delegates were leaving for their homes. Because of this the proposal to change the name of the party was not taken up for ‘general discussion and action. A. J. Orem of Massa- chusetts in a brief speech promised to pledge more money to the campaign fund should the name be changed. “I believe we could make the cam- paign fund double if we should adopt a new.name,” said Mr. Orem. “Progressive” or “Conservation.” “We would be greatly aided in car- rring our banmer tos success. if - we ;h%lgd adopt - the- name PROGRES-. IVE."” There were many shouts of protest to this as well as to the name of “Conservation Part suggested by Rev. 8. H. Taft of California. Convention Clos With Wrangle. The convention adjourned after a wrangle over a proposed change in the representation on the national committee. A proposal that instead of each stats having two representatives on the national committee the repre- sentation be according to the size of the prohibition vote, one member for each 5,000 votes aroused considerable opposition. The matter was referred to the new national committee for set- tlement. TO OFFSET SICKLES. Colonel Roosevelt Says There Will Be No Sectionalism in New Party. Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 12—A pro- test against anv hint of sectionalism in the new progressive party was made today by Colonel Roosevelt, who maid that he did not “care a rap” whare & man was born or whether his father wore the blue or the gray, so Jong as he was the right type. Col- onel Roosevelt was told of a spesch made yesterday by Major General Daniel E. S of New York at the meeting for the organization of the u"l‘rt' in this state. Major Gen- eral Bickies was quoted as having sa that Woodrow Wilson was “born surroundings, and that we of the have never been disposed te put such 2 man in the White House” Colonel velt said he couid not of the speech, but that 1t wae the F‘ the founders of the new par- to make the movement one vgfih Would truly represent all sections of the connty. for the progressive con- continued, “stated that nation-wide. non-sec- My o%n mother adorate navy just as of my father gerved in therners, easterners and westerners alike, Al I ask {s that the man himself be of the right type and as an American he face, in patriotie spirit, from & standpoint of eitizens of this v dear, the great and issues which now esnecern all the American people alike, And I do not eare a rap where he was bern, I feel very strongly that we have mot reach- the point where all of us alike, or we dwefl, B.tt the mem. m« the great of the men whe the blue and the great deeds of the men who wove the gray und of fhe valor and lofty wdherence to the t, each side saw the right, hath a8 maki a commen u«gu of Wonor for all wur peopls lu which all v people shuwuld il ' 2 whare” WILL SUPPORT WILSON, Twe of La Follstte’s Stréngest Sup- portere te Call Teday, . —Eharles . go, who pcentribuied vily to Senator La Folielie's fin- patgn fund, and Charles Vaa Hiee, president of the University of Wiscon- ein.

Close friends of the governor said during the afternoon that Mr. Crane had transferred his preference from the Wisconsin Senator to Governor Wilson and would be willing to do all he could to bring about the success of the democratic ticket. The telegram announcing Mr. Crane's acceptance of the governor's invitation to luncheon followed on the heels of this state- ment. As one of the orfginal contrib- utors, and the domor of the largest sum, to the La Follette campaign fund, Mr. Crane helped make possible the nomination. His indleated espousal of Governor Wilson's cause is hailed by the governor’s advisers as an index to the sentiment which prevalls among La Follette's followers. Pregident Van Hise has been for years a warm supporter of Senator La Follette. He has held no public office, but under his administration the Uni- versity of Wiscon®in has graduated an army of progressive voters. It is not unlikely that Messrs. Crane and Van Hise will meet Speaker Clark here tomorrow afternoon. Mr. Clark is ex- pected shortly after two o’clock. The governor will sit down to luncheon with his guests at one o'clock and a conference is scheduled to follow. Upon the duration of this conference will depend the prospects of a meeting between Mr. Clark and the other visi- tors. “I do not know whether they will meet or n?” Governor.Wilson said to- night whén asked if such would be the case. Nor would the governor an- nounce the reason for their coming. Mr. Clark, the governor said, might or might not discuss legislation now be- fore the house, he did not know. If Mr. Clark brought the topic up of his own Initiative it would be discussed, he said. Word reached the governor tonight that Mayor Preston of Baltimore would accompany the Speaker to Sea Girt. Governor Wilson conferred late into the afternoon with Robert S. Hud- speth, William F. McCoombs, Jose- phug Danlels, North Carolina’s na- tional committeeman, and E. B. Gross- cup, democratic state chairman of New Jersey, u| the passage which he will send to the national committee at Chi- cago Monday. When the conference rnded Governor Wilson said that thers had not been time to consider all the points involved in themessage and that it might be modified at a further meeting which is scheduled to be held tomorrow morning here. Messrs. Coombs, ~Hudspeth, Grosscup and Danlels expect to leave tomorrow af- ternoon for Chicago to convey the message. One of the national committeemen Who enjoys the governor's close friend- ship was of the opinion tonight that the governor would recommend Mr. MoCoombs as national chairman and advise against the division of author- ity In directing the campaign between the natfonal committee and a cam- paign committee, Fven at this late hour, he said, the governor had not made a positive choice for treasurer of the committes or for chairman of the flnance committee. There were matters, he thought, that would bs re- served for a las minute decision to- morrow, “I cannot tell you, gentle- men, what I shall recommend to the national committes,” Governor Wilson sald tonlght when asked if he cared to indicats the contents of the forth- coming messags, “I am making sug- gestions to the national committes only through the courtesy of the com- mittee and at its own request, To divulge what those suggestions are be- fore they reach the committes would be in violation of the standard which I have st for myself.” Tie party’s nationa! headquarters at Chi- eago may be changed If a suggestion made by 3'r. McCoombs this after- noon is followed . “I think New York would be a good place for the headquarters,” he said. “Of course, we should want to have an office at Chicago and another in the west.” ARCHBALD’S PREFERENCE WILL BE CONSIDERED.

Washington, July 12.—The senate failed again today to vote on the Lea resolution to declare vacant the se&t of William Lorimer of Illinois. Con- stderation for Senator Lorimer, who held the floor for five hours with the continuation of his speech defending his title, induced the senate to recess at 4.10 o'clock until ten o'clock tomor- row morning. An effort will be made ach the final vote tomorrow but a bitter attack upon Senator Kern of Indiana which characterized Mr, Lori- mer’s speech today and possible injec~ tion of arguments by Senator La Fol- lette or others, may prolong the debate into next week. Mr. Lorimer charged Senator Kern with mistating the facts of the Lorimer case with “sliming and smearing over the record” and with making charges against him (Lorl- mer) for which there was no grousd of fact or evidence.
