LORIMER DRAMATICALLY DEFIES
 KERN TO PRODUCE HIS PROOF
TWO ALABAMA POSTMASTERS
 TREMBLING IN THEIR BOOTS
 By c. E. STEWART

Washington, July 12.-(Special.) )--Presi- dent Taft has a reputation for procrasti- nation. He dislikes application to rou- tine duties, and loves the golf links. Con- sequently there are many things to do that have been left undone before he can get away from Washington for the summer for his recreation and before en- tering the political campaign.
 The President has shown, however that when aroused he can act, and act sud- denly and convincingly. This trait of the Presidents Is right now worrying some Alabamians to-wit: Byron Trammel postmaster at Dothan, and John Daugh- try, postmaster at Hartford. These gen. tlemen are right now suffering from re- morse in large and distatsteful doses.
 They were both delegates to Chicago and of course, instructed for Taft, but mistaking loud noise for great volume and losing faith in the efficiency of the

LAFOLLETTE'' ',LKS ON COL. ROOSEVELT Neither Taft Nor Roosevelt Had Honest Majority GOV. .HADLEY'S CHANGE Praises Action of Bryan in the Balti- more Convention and Says He
 Was Devoted to Civic
 Righteousness

Washington. July 12.--Under the cap
 ator LaFollette has written an editoral in the current number of LaFollette' S Weekly, which says in part
 Bryan at Baltimore, foregoing all chance of his own nomination, braving
 Tammany and the trusts to rescue his
 party from their domination, carrying the convention for the adoption of the most progressive democratic platform yet offered. and the nomination of the most
 progressive candidate available, was a
 towering figure of moral power and pa- triotic devotion to civic righteousness. Roosevelt at Chicago, backed by
 money derived from the stock watering operations of the Steel trust and the Harvester trust organizing what are now confessed to have been fake contests as to nearly POO delegates, in order to con. | trol the republican convention and secure | his own nomination, refusing tQ aid ir making progressive platform, bound tc | have the nomination or destroy the re- | publican party, was a most striking ex- | ample of misdirected power and unworthy ambition.
 RoOsevelt's Opportunity Roosevelt had as great an opportu- nity to serve the progressive cause at Chicago as Bryan had at Baltimore. But Roosevelt was serving the man, not the cause. He wanted one thing he wanted the nomination And yet he did not have enough votes to nominate himself upon any honest basis. He did have enough delegates in that conven- tion ultimately to have nominated a
 real progressive and adopted a strong | n F or -nc crf fA 1at e. have nominated Hadley on such a plat
 form and progressive republicans could
 have supported Hadley in much the same spirit as hundreds of thousands of them will now support Wilson. But Roosevelt would not consider Hadley, for he would have no one but ! himself At the suggestion of Hadley he ordered the third party maneuvers lest he lose his followers.
 Cries of More Fraud An analysis of the testimony will, I am convinced. show that neither Taft nor Roosevelt had a majority of hon estly or regularly elected delegates Each candidate was trying to sea a sufficient number of fraudulently credentialed delegates to secure con trol of the convention and steam roll the nomination.
 This explains the extraordinary conduct of Roosevelt. He could not enter upon such an analysis of the evidence as would prove Taft's regu- larly elected in the minority without inevitably subjecting his own spuri- ously credentialed delegates to an ex- animation so critical as would expose the falsity of his own contention that he had an honestly elected majority He therefore deliberately chose to claim everything, to cry fraud
 MT Roosevelt was not governed by la suggestion of that spirit of hich patriotic and unselfish purpose of which Bryan furnished such Q magnificent example in the democratic campaign at Baltimore Instead he filled the public ear with sound and fury. He Iruthlessly sacrificed everything to the one idea of his being the one candi- date

 Vice President CANDIDATES SPEAK After Much Discussion the Name of the Party Remains Unchanged.
 New National Commit
 tee Appointed

Atlantic City, July 12.-The national prohibition convention concluded its la bors here tonight. with the nomination Of the party standard bearers of four years ago-Eugene w Chain of Ari- zona for President and Aaron s. Wat kins of Ohio for vice president. In each case the nomination was made by exclamation after single ballot had indicated the preference of the dele gates
 Four aspirants were placed in nom ination against MT. Chain. They were F. W. Emerson of California, Finley c. Henrickson of Marion, Aaron s. Wat kins of Ohio and Andrew Jackson Hous- ton of Texas. Each withdrew his name after the first ballot. MT. Houston ere ating enthusiasm by the statement that he would rather receive the lowest vote in the prohibition convention than the highest in either the democratic or re- publican convention.
 The leading candidates against Mir. Watkins for vice president were Finer son of California and George E. Stock we'll of New York.
 Both of the party candidates were called to the platform and made brief speeches. MT. Chain said he regard ed the nomination as the greatest po- litical honor bestowed upon any man this year. He thanked the conven tion for his second nomination and prom ised not to stand for third term.
 Talk of Changing Party Name
 The convention was forced to rush its business to a conclusion as many of the delegates were leaving. Because of this the proposal to change the name of the party was not taken up. A J. Orem of Massachusetts, in a brief speech, promised to pledge more money to the campaign fund should the name be changed.
 q believe we could make the cam paign fund double if we should adopt a new name,' said Mr. Orem. We would be greatly aided in carrying our ban her to success if we should adopt the name progressive'"
 There were many shouts of protest to this as well as to the name con servation party" suggested by the Rev. s. H. Taft of California.
 The convention adjourned after a wrangle over a proposed change in the representation on the national commit tee. A proposal that instead of each state having two representatives, the representation be according to the size of the prohibition vote one member for each 5000 votes aroused considerable opposition. The matter was referred to the new national committee for settle ment
