OREGON LAWYER IS
CHOSEN CHAIRMAN
Virgil G. Hinshaw to Head
National Committee of Pro-
hibition Party.
BY International News Service.


ATLANTIC CITY, n. J., July IL
Virgil G. Hinshaw. young lawyer of
Oregon, was elected chairman of the
national Prohibition committee under
the amendment adopted this afternoon
permitting of that Office by a blind
vote OF the delegates on the floor, This
is the most desirable Office within the
gitf of the party.
1t carries an annual salary of $4,000
and the practical administration OF
party affairs between national conven-
tion and national convention.
The fight for this office threatened
for time to split the prohibitionists
wide open. The race from the first day
has been between three candidates,
Charles r. Jones. former national
chairman, representing the standpat
element; W. G, Calderwood, represent"
ing the insurgents, and Hinshaw, rep
resenting the compromise element
The Hinshaw victory came on the
fifth ballot after both Jones and Cal
derwood had withdrawn from the race,
His victory was later made unanimous
and the convention adjourned until
$3.50 tomorrow morning, when the nom.
nations for president and vice presi.
dent will be made.
Another official act of the conven.
tion was the adoption of the party
platform prepared by the majority OF
the resolutions committee. This plat
form. besides making the usual assault
on the liquor traffic, advocates most of
the progressive principles embraced by
the Roosevelt political school.

The former president said today that

Then Lorimer turned his attention to
the Chicago newspapers.
"If We had a law officer In Cook

newspapers would be In the penitenti-

On the wall behind him were charts
showing the location OF the Tribune and
Daily News in Chicago. He picked up a
pointer and proceeded TO repeat TO the
senate the tax lecture with which Chi

He proceeded to tell OF alleged tax

"These confessions cannot be thrust
lightly aside" he said "They bear the

reader that there was a wholesale scheme
Of corruption and that Mr. Lorlmer was
the beneficiary OF It."
