4 PROMINENT PEOPLE
PROHIBITION CANDIDATE

Eugene w. Chain, who has just been pm
mated by the Prohibitionists for president of
the United States, is attorney of Chicago.
He was not candidate for the nomination at
the Columbus convention, for he had already
been named by the Prohibitonists Of Illinois
as their candidate for governor Under the cir
cumstances, he will have to resign the latter
nomination and let another be named in his
place.
Before going to Chicago seven years ago he
was a resident of Wisconsin, and was counted
one of the leaders of the dry" party in that
state In two different campaigns he was the
candidate for attorney general in the Beaver
state and in 1898 he headed the state ticket
there.

1t is probable that the water power in
the United States exceeds 30,000,OOO horse
power and under certain assumptions as to
storage reservoirs this amount can be in
creased to possibly 150,OOO,OOO horse power.
Using the smaller figure of 3O,OOo,OOO horse
power as an illustration, to develop an equal
amount of energy in our most modern steam
electric plants, would require the burning of
nearly 225,000,000 tons of coal per annum,
and in the average steam engine plant, as
now existing, more than 0O,OOO,OOO tens of
coal, or so per cent, in excess of the total
coal production Of the country in 1906.
