Ex-New York Governor Doomed by
Many for President-Foss
Mentioned
By George R. HOLMES

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 19.--with many
of the 1850 accredited delegates missing, the
Prohibition National Convention formally
got under way here today in perhaps the
most momentous meeting In the life of the
party
Two paramount problems both of which
were brewed here in st. Paul. promised to
make the sessions lively. They are the
selection of national ticket, which has
developed some eleventh-hour complica-
tions and the proposition of changing the
pnrtys name in the hope of attracting to
II reform stragglers from all parties.
1t seems certain today that either william
Sulzer, former Governor. of New York, or
ex-governor Hanly, of Indiana, will head
the national ticket this fall. The Hanly
boom has developed amazingly and his
hackers were predicting his nomination by
reclamation.
Against this Hanly tide, Eugene W.
Chafin. the party standard bearer of the
last two campaigns, has thrown all his
strength, which includes that of the CON
servative" element of the party, which he
controls. There in an intense personal
feeling between Hanly and Chain, which
the latter makes no effort to conceal
II will do anything to beat Frank
Hanly," was Chains frank characterize
tion of his position today. Working against
both of these booms Is an agitation begun
by National Treasurer II. p. Farls, of Mis-
DENTAL candidate and woman for Vice
President.
The ticket proposed by Faris is DR.. ira
Jandrith. of Nashville Tenn, and Miss
Marie c. Brehm, of Chicago, whose nomi-
nation he believes would assure the prohibi-
tionists large part of the 100000 votes
which are. controlled by the woman's
party.
The only dark horse candidate in the
Geld was Ex-Governor Eugene n. Foss, OF
Massachusetts,. He has many friends
among the western delegates He has re-
piled to their entreaties that he would be
candidate II he is assured of a united
party. Because Of illness. Foss will not
be hero. ..
with one or two exceptions, notably
Indiana and oregon, none of the State
delegates is pledged to support any one
candidate. The Oregon delegation Is pledged
10 Hanly the Indiana contingent to Sumner
w. Haynes, who is ready to release them
TO Hanly the moment II looks as though
he would be nominated.
If the party leaders stick to the pro-
gram, nominations will not be made before
Friday. but there was agitation started to-
day by many of the delegates to "get 1t
over with" quickly and go home.
Colonel John NJ. Parker, the Progressive
leader, in a communication received here
today, said he was local optonist, not a
prohibitionist, and as such could not par
ticpate in the counc Is of the party. The
Prohibitionists hoped he would recognize
their party and throw his strength toward
their national ticket
