toned.

Chicago, May 23.-If he will con-
sent to make the race. William Jen-
nings Bryan may be selected as the
candidate for President by the PROFIT
bition party. Recent statements OF
Mr. Bryan before the general confer
ence OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church, at Saratoga Springs, in
which he is quoted as declaring that
he had about reached the point where
he could no longer follow a political
party which refused to indorse ma
tional prohibition, was discussed by
Prohibition party leaders here today.
They expressed the belief that If
the Democratic National Convention
at st. Louis declined to adopt a
national prohibition plank in its
platform, Mr.. Bryan might consent
to become the candidate OF the Pro-
hibition party for President. The
Prohibition National Convention will
be held at st. Paul July 10 to %,
and will be preceded by rally in
the interest of the movement to OBJ
tain pledges from 100000 citizens
to vote only for candidates for public
Office who favor national prohibition
other candidates for President be-
ing considered by the party leaders
are: Former Gov. William Sulzer, of
New York; former Gov. Eugene Foss,
of Massachusetts,; Frank Hanly, of
Indiana; Gen. Nelson A. Miles, of
Washington, ID. c., and Richard p.
Hobson, of Alabama.
The convention promises to be the
most important in the history of the
party in the opinion of the leaders.
One suggestion that may come before
the convention involves the entire re-
organization of the party under a new
name.
A referendum vote of the Execu-
tive Committee is now being taken
by mail to select a temporary chair
man for the convention. The two
candidates being considered are W.
p. F. Ferguson. of Franklin, Pa, and
Daniel A. Polling, of Boston.
The convention this year will con-
sist of 1854 delegates and an equal
number of alternates.

FINER PATRIOTISM IN ADJ

yesterdays session of the Diocesan
Council of Kentucky and "hyphen-
ates" or 'peace-at-any-price" prop
agandists to hear the stirring an
nual address of the Rt. Rev. Charles
Edward Woodcock, bishop of Ken
lucky.
The bishop thrilled his hearers,
some of the most prominent church,
men in the State, with an appeal for
America first" and finer patriotism
among Americans, regardless of poll
tical or ancestral ties.
Discussing conditions growing out
of the European war, the bishop said:
1.-The atmosphere has cleared lit
tie, but the clouds still hang low.
Knowing conditions, we can not look
upon these grave matters without
deep and anxious concern. But we
are not all so inert nor yet so supine
as to be willing to join those who
clamor for peace at any price.
"Surely, we want peace. We want
1t so deply that, as nation, we will
go the whole length of honor for its
maintenance, but we will not go so
far as to compromise our honor to
secure place which would terminate
in national disgrace. Peace, If we
can preserve it-but peace at its own
price-no matter what it costs-is
the only condition on which we are
worthy of peace.
This is no time for uncertainties
in American citizenship, either hyp-
henated or political. American cit
izenship has but one hallmark and
that is loyalty to this land.
We need, in this hour American man
straight, full-blooded, una
fraid and undefiled."
Must Stand Together.
That portion of Bishop Wood
cocks address on the need of Ameri-
cans standing together in time OF
stress followed discussion of other
matters Immediately connected with
the church. The country's best well
fare, the Bishop said, depended on
our putting America foremost first
and all the time and preventing any
set of citizens of any nationality from
embarrassing our Government

OHIO COUNTY WHEAT
IS BADLY DAMAGED
HESSIAN FLY SAID TO HAVE CUT
CROP NEARLY HALF-HAD
GOOD START.

Reports coming from many parts
of the county say that the appearance
of the dreaded Hessian fly and its
destructive work has cut this years
wheat crop nearly in half Early in
the spring it was thought that a
bumper crop would be raised but
many fields later appeared to have
been burned over.
Many fields of once promising
wheat have been so irreparably dam
aged that they are being plowed and
planted in corn. 1t is roughly es-
timated that near twenty per cent Of
the crop will be plowed under. At
least thirty per cent of the crop sowed
last fall will produce no yield.
The Hessian fly is said to have
been brought to this country many
years ago. 1t is thought that the fly,
or the eggs, were concealed in some
straw during the voyage, and liking
the new country they at once con-
tinued their life's Notwithstanding
the fruits of the labors of man. The
egg is deposited in the boot of the
wheat stalk and when the insect is

multiplies very fast and If the wheat
comes again after being destroyed

tackled the second time.

fenced in 1912 to serve a term of ten
to twenty years for wronging his
step-daughter, was refused a pardon
by Gov. Stanley, who said. reciting
the facts in the case:
"Daugherty pleaded guilty to the
charge of his step-daughter, who at
the time was under sixteen years of
age. 1t is inconceivable that this
man could have maintained such re-
lations with this girl. He was IN
loco PARENTS to her from immature
childhood and should have regarded
her as his daughter. Every instinct
of nature and of decency should have
made him protect and not debauch
this young girl.
1T is urged in his defense that she
was a mature woman and possessed
of physical charms which tempted
the passions of this man. and that he
was inexperienced and ignorant. 1t
does not require culture or experience
to prevent the most stupid and illit-
crate in the commission of such Of
lenses.
1T is not to be regretted that the
record shows he left wife and child

Had he at the time of the commission
OF this crime any regard for his wife
or children. he would never have
committed the crime which he ad-
mits.

BOND ISSUE IS
SHOWED UNDER
PROPOSITION TURNED DOWN BY
VOTE OF OVER SEVEN TO
ONE.
HARTFORD YIELDS BLOW
Every Precinct in the County Gives
Large Majority Against the I'M
provement of Roads.

Striking with an evident intent to
kill the voters of Ohio County dealt
an awful blow to the proposition to
issue bonds to the amount of $780,
900 for the improvement of roads
and bridges at the election Saturday.
Not a precinct in the county gave a
majority for the bonds. Contrary 70
expectations in many of the rural dis
tricts Hartford gave large majority
against the proposition. The voters
in certain parts of the county seemed
to form an idea that the county seat
would reap the greater part of the
benefit from such an usual of bonds
and upon that ground many of them
voted no" Since Hartford gave
such large vote against the PROPOSE
ton. however, many of them are said
to be changing over.
The election was very different
from a political contest as very little
electioneering was done by either
side. There was no crowd around
the polls and all was quiet. The
vote was taken and hurriedly count
ed, some of the ballot boxes reaching
the county clerks Office Saturday
evening and night.
The election commissioners gave
out the official count Tuesday as fol-
lows:
