The Arizona Man Promised Not to
Stand AS a Third Term Candidate.
Texas Man Withdrew Name.

Atlantic City, N. 1.-THE National
Prohibition Convention concluded its
labors Saturday with the nomination
of party standard bearers of four
years ago-Dunne w. Chafin Of Ari
cont for president and Aaron S. Wat
kins of Ohio for vice president. In
each case the nomination was made
by aCClamatiOn after single ballot
showed the preference of the dele
gates.
Four aspirants were placed in nom
ination against Mr.. Chafin. They
were: F. w. Emerson of California,
Finley c. Hendrickson of Maryland,
Aaron S. Watkins of Ohio and An
drew Jackson Houston of Beaumont,
Texas. Each withdrew his name after
the first ballot, Mr.. Houston creating
enthusiasm by the statement that he
would rather receive the lowest vote
in the prohibition convention than the
highest in either the democratic or
republican tOH
The leading candidates against Mr.
Watkins for vice president were F.
W. Emerson of California and George
f. Stockwell Of New York.
Both OF the party candidates were
called to the platform and made brief
speeches. Mr.. Chafin said he regard
ed the nomination as the greatest po-
litical honor bestowed upon any man
this year He thanked the convention
for his second nomination and prom.
ised not to stand for a third term.
The convention was forced to rush
it's business to a conclusion, as many
of the delegates were leaving. Be-
cause of this the proposal to change
the name of the party was not taken
up A. ]. Orem of Massachusetts, in
a brief speech, promised to pledge
more money to the campaign funds
should the name be changed.
81 believe we could make the cam
paign fund double if we should adopt
new name" said Mr.. Orem. I'VE
would greatly be aided in carrying our
banner to success if we would adopt
the name progress.
There were many shouts of protest
to this, as well as to the name con
servation party" suggested by Rev.
8. H. Taft Of California.
The convention adjourned after a
wrangle over proposed change in the
national committee.

NEARLY 1900 CARS Of ONIONS SHIPPED
This Season From Laredo and Browns.
willie Points, and Over a Million
and a Half Profits From Crop.

San Antonio, Textile onion crop
has been cleaned up. Nearly 1900
cars were shipped and the growers
realized over million and a half
dollars in profits. The total ship
mentS broke all previous records. Not
only was the production at Laredo in
creased, but large number of cars
came from the Brownsville country
The indications are for even a larger
acreage next year If seed can be Sc
cured.
The reports are to the effect that
the Canary Island seed crop is very
short and it may be impossible for
sufficient to be supplied to meet the
demand in Texas The Canary Islands
is the only source of seed supply.
Storms and wet weather reduced the
crop of seed there more than one-half.
Replacing the onion shipments have
been large shipments of cantaloupes
and watermelons. Catalogues have
become SO cheap and plentiful as to
be a drug On the market and many
farmers are giving them away for the
picking or feeding them to the hogs.
There is still good demand for
watermelons, but the crop has been
very large and melons are very cheap.
Large ones are being sold on the
streets here for S cents each. In some
places these melons are also being
given away to have them hauled from
| the fields.
The sorghum crop is being harvest
ed now and the yield will be very
large. Hay will be cheaper here than
/ for several years past.
