Humphreys, that lad who held our
team hitless for eight inning Sunday,
was again placed upon the mound in

the game. Well, to shorten matters,

game as his manager expected, or as
he did Sunday, No, it was quite the
reverse. That game Sunday was lost
by the Moguls but one thing was

From the Clarksburg cold storage
came one Wilson. who is called Doc

not thawed out properly when the

Both Andrews and Patrick who OPP

the game, Charleroi getting IA bing-

PROHIBITION LEADER
CRITICISES BRYAN
Chain Says Nebraskan's Silence
on Liquor Question Is Equiva-

CHICAGO, Aug. 14-wHl,am J.
Bryan's speech Of acceptance mas been
given a rap by Eugene W. Chain, pro-
hibitiou candidate for the Presidency,
who recently called on the Democratic
nominee at Fairview.
y have read carefully Mr.. Bryan's
speech Of acceptance" he said. ITO me
me the most significant thing said BY
him is the paragraph which closes thus:
The platform upon which 1 was nomi-
mated not only contains nothing from
which 1 dissent, but Il specifically ont
lines all the remedial legislation which
we can hope 10 secure during the next
four years
'Inasmuch as the platform makes no
promise 70 do anything on the temper
ance question, but reaf1rms its past
declaration against it. he has in his ut
terance served notice upon the country
that we may expect no legislation pro-
hibitiug the shipment OF liquor into pro-
hibitiOn States. It amounts to a pledge
TO the liquor interests that they will
have nothing TO fear from his admins
tration."
