points for this campaign. Here, Sun
day, Monday and Tuesday, one Of the
finest programs that the New York
committee can arrange will be given,
beginning with seven mass meetings
Sunday, reinforced by great central
gatherings on the next day, and fol
lowed after Sunday by two days of
conference and of magnificent ad-
dresses by men of world wide fame.
The purpose of this movement is
not to raise money, but to instruct and
stir the men. 1t recognizes the fact
that each denomination of Christians
cooperating in the movement already
has its own organization. 1t seeks to
send back to these organizations men
more devoted and better fitted than
ever to press the work and TO be use
full In the cause. Its business is not
to administer, but to inspire. 1t is not
an organization, but a movement. 1t
is the Laymen's response to the COM
mand, 60 Forward"
The movement is for missions, :"
and wherever man is found, whether
nearby or far away his spiritual welfare
is sought. The movement has not
drawn the line between foreign mis-
sions and home missions. 1t has
sought and is now seeking to lay the
great cause Of spreading the gospel
and winning men everywhere upon the
hearts and in the hands OF the men
Of the church. The men of Illinois and
Iowa should have special part in an
| enterprise which is stirring the hearts
OF men In all other parts of our land.
II is believed that they will be as
! great and as generous in this work
as they have been in everything else
that is good and true.

The reported resignation of Sena-
tor Bailey is an interesting sequel to
the triumph of the party to which,
nominally, he belongs. The senator
from Texas is wholly out of sym
pathy with the purposes and aspira-
tons of today's democracy. His
eyes have been closed tight to the
encroachment of power upon oppor
tunity. He is living in a yesterday.

to State Department.

Washington, July 12.-Great Brit
ain has requested that the enactment

bill be held in allegiance until Mitch
ell Innes, the British charge, can pre-
sent note In behalf of his govern
ment. This move confronts congress
and the state department with an ex-
traordinary situation, but Is likely to
have little effect In delaying the pas
sage Of the canal bill, according. to
leading senators.
The request for delay has been COM
municated to the senate interoceanfc

summer embassy at Kineo, Me-, and
was sent by Mr.. Innes, acting for Am

eminent Is concerned In the clause to

Canadian railways are deeply concern
ed in both. and It Is thought that
some OF the representations will BIO
made in their behalf.
The canal bill is now In the senate

MEET ENDS TREMENDOUSLY
Prohibition National Convention Chose
Candidates for President and Vice
President Who Were Running
Mates In Campaign of 1908.

Atlantic City, N. j., July 15.-Dele-
gates Of the national Prohibition con-
vention after a three-day session
marked by tumultuous scenes and fac
tional strife that threatened to split
the party in twain, nominated on FRI
day night Eugene W. Chain OF I'LL
nois and Arizona for president and
Aaron s. Watkins of Ohio for vice
president Chain and Watkins head
ed the party in the 1908 campaign.
The end of the convention was. how
ever, astonishingly harmonious oonsid-
ering the acrimonious debates that
have marked its early meetings. This
was largely due to the fact that the
presidency of the party is regarded in
the hearts Of the delegates as an hon
orary position only and also that a
forfeit Of $500 would accrue If the con-
vention went over another day.
The first man to take the rostrum
and place candidate before the dele
gates was F. J. Sibley of Arizona,
chairman Of the resolutions commit
tee. Mr.. Sibley presented the name
Of Eugene w. Chain.
Chain won the nomination on the
first ballot with 1874 votes out Of q
possible SGT.
F. w. Pearson, close friend Of Vir-
gil G. Hinshaw, the newly elected ma
tional chairman. took the floor and
moved to make the nomination unani-
nous. This was done
Watkins. the vice-presidential nomi-
nee. was nominated by reclamation
after leading his competitors in two
ballots.
The flame of dissension again rose
high in the convention, however, when
the matter of electing national com
mitteemen according to the Prohibit
/ ton vote in each state was brought
before the delegates.
The present national convention is
insurgent and the reelection Of the
new committee by the proportion rule
would mean a standpat victory 1t
was vigorously opposed BY the insur-
gents therefore, but was settled when
q motion by Clinton N. Howard of
Rochester to refer the question to the
