field
At 1924 the chair announced that the
hour having arrived for the meeting Of
the Eighth Republican National conven-
ton, the convention would now be opened
by prayer by Rev. DIR. Frank Bristol, of
Chicago. Prayer was then offered by
Mr.. Bristol. Upon its conclusion
| Chairman Sabin said that as a conse
quence of the vote adopted by the last
convention the present body was largely
formed of men instructed by their own
constituents and it was therefore to be
hoped that the voice of the people be
largely PURSUANT in its deliberations Tap
plause.) He closed with an expression of
hope for victory and proposed for
TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN, ION. POWELL
CLAYTON OF ARKANSAS.
When the chairman had concluded and
mentioned the name of Clayton, Mr.. II.
c. Lodge, of Massachusetts,, proposed
the name of John r. Lynch of Missis-
sippi. He said they recognized the claim
of the South and therefore he had pro-
posed this second name as one acceptable
to the Republican convention. Silas b.
butcher, of New York, seconded the
nomination of Lynch. At this point a
great sensation was created by a speech
from w. w. Morrow, of California. He
said that harmony was essen
tial and it could but be
secured by not raising fractional issues. It
had been the practice for forty years for
the national committee to select a empo-
rary chairman of the convention and a
departure could not now be made from
the custom without creating bitterness Of
feeling. There were several delegates on
their feet to replv lint tbe chairman

a memorial and petition from the Nat

and reads as follows:
To the National convention of the Re
publican party:
We, the members of the Woman
Christian Temperance union of the states
herein represented by the signatures of
our officers, believe, that while the poison
habits of a nation can be largely re-
strained by an appeals to the in
~tellect, through argument to the
heart through sympathy, and to the con
science through the motives of religion,
the traffic in those poisons will be best
controlled by a prohibitory law. We be
lieve the teachings of sincere experience
and the golden rule combine to testify
against the traffic in alcoholic liquors as a
drink, and the homes of America, which
are the citadels of patriotism, purity and
happiness, have no means so relentless as
the American saloon. Therefore, as cit
liens of the United States, irrespective of
set or section, but having deeply at heart
the protection of our homes, we do hereby
respectfully and earnestly petition you to
advocate and adopt such measures MS are
requisite to the end hat prohibition of the
importation, expectation, manufacture and
sale of alcoholic beverages may become an
integral part of the national constitution.
and that your party candidate shall, by
character and public pledge, be committed
to a national prohibitory constitution al
