Platform Says Hughes

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug 81. Frank
Hanly, former republican governor of
Indiana and recently the candidate
for the Indiana progressive party for
governor this afternoon was formally
notified Of his nomination as a candi-
date for president Of the United States
by the prohibition party.
DR.. Ira Landrith of Boston shortly
afterward received notification of his
nomination for vice-president. The
ceremonies were held on the lawn of
the Hanly home.
Early in his speech of acceptance
Hanly declared that he neither ap-
proved nor accepted the initiative,
referendum and recall plank adopted
by the party at st. Paul. 1t was this
plank adopted by Indiana progressives
that caused him to refuse the nomina-
ton for governor.
Hanly devoted as much time to the
Mexican situation, the tariff and to
Americanism as he did to prohibition.
"We are failing and have long
failed to assure and guarantee the
lives and property of European and
American citizens,' said Hanly. ''To
meet this duty in the ease of Haiti and
San Domingo has been easy and we
have met it. To meet it in the case
of Mexico has been difficult and we
have shirked it,"
Hanly said prohibition offered the
best means of preparedness. He came

First Flax Put Through
Eugene's New Plant

The first flax to be handled in the
Eugene flax plant was put through the
machines this morning, and the equip

shape. Three or four loads of flax from
one of the poorer fields had been
brought in yesterday and today, and
will be used in the making of tow, to be
used for upholstering purposes.
Better grades of the flax will be
brought in from the fields within a few
days, and the process of retting it will
be begun. The retting tanks are being
filled with the Willamette river water,
which, according to Eugene Bosse, the
expert in charge of the Eugene plant, is
excellent for the purpose.
Cutting of the flax is going forward
steadily throughout the territory tribu-
tary to Eugene, and the work is now
nearly one-haH done.-Eugene Guard.
