PROHIBITIoNIsTS NAME
NATIONAL TICKET

Columbus, O., July 18.-For presi-
dent, Eugene w. Chafin, of Chicago.
For vice-president, Aaron S. Wat
kins, of Ada, Ohio.
The above ticket was nominated
Thursday by the prohibitionist national
convention. Both men were chosen
unanimously. The full Endorsement 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 great deal of strength,
receiving but 1875 out of 1888 votes on
the first and 376 out of 1887 on the
second ballot. His nomination was
practically assured, however, when the
roll call began for the third ballot. His
own state, which had voted largely for
Daniel r. Sheen, of Peoria, ILL.,, and
the New York delegation, followed by
those of Indiana and Wisconsin, came
over to Mr. Chafin, and on the third
ballot he received total of 636 votes.
The strongest competitor of Mr.. Cha
fin was Rev. William B. Palmore, of
st. Louis, who received 274 votes on
the first ballot and Alb on the second
ballot, and comparatively small vote
after it was evident that the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Chafin could not be pre-
vented.
Both the presidential and vice-presi-
Dental nominees are candidates for
governor in their respective states on
the prohibition tickets.
Eugene w. Chafin, who leads the
prohibition party this year, is an at
torney residing in Chicago. He is a
native of Waukesha, Wis, and for
some years practiced law there. He
was at one time candidate for COVER
nor of Wisconsin on the prohibition
ticket, and was this year placed in the
running for the same position in Illi-
nois by the prohibitionists of that
state.
The forenoon session of the conven-
ton was devoted to the discussion and
adoption of a. brief platform, which is
possibly the shortest on record, con-
tanning not more than $50 words.

TAFT HAS COMPLETED
ACCEPTANCE SPEECH

Hot Springs, July 20.-William H
Taft, republican nominee for the pres.
idency, having completed his speech
Of acceptance, in which he will prom.
Use to uphold the policies of President
Roosevelt If elected to office, has made
this formal announcement:
"The republican national committee
will accept no contributions of any
character from corporations.
Fear has been expressed by some of
the older politicians who have visited
Hot Springs that the publicity plan
adopted will greatly reduce the amount
Of funds placed at the disposal of cam
paign managers. This apparently has
no terror for Mr.. Taft.
Conservative progress along lines
which marked the course of Theodore
Roosevelt as president, with an occa-
sional detOur or expanding of a dis
tinctly Taft character, will mark the
speech of acceptance of the republican
candidate. Safe government will be
arrayed as opposed to radicalism, and
the record of the republican party will
be paralleled with the acceptance and
abandonment Of the party planks by
democratic leaders. Credit will be
given to Mr.. Roosevelt for the awaken
ing of the nation to new estimate Of
truth and honesty in politics. Assur-
ances will be given that the election Of
Mr.. Taft means no abandonment of
these principles. Promise will be
made that many of them will be urged
until they ultimately become the law
and settled policy of the United States.
Reduction of the tariff is advocated
and attention is directed to the plans
of the republican party for the revision
of the schedule.
While advocating the relaxation Of
some of the restrictions which the
Sherman antitrust act throws about
the transaction of business by corpora
tons, the speech will hesitate to rec
ommend openly any of the methods
which have been proposed.
Mr.. Taft regards the plank of the
democratic party which proposes fed
eral licensing of trusts as an attempt
to frame a declaration that will seem
to accomplish two irreconciliable pur-
poses.
Physical valuation Of railroads, as
proposed in the democratic platform,
will be characterized as Mr.. Bryans
first SteD in the direction of govern
ment ownership.
