TO 0UTRANK SOCIALISTS

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 15.-Confident
they will outrank the socialists in No
vember and become the third political
party of the country, representatives
of progressive" elements in the pro-
hibition organization who arrived in
ST. Paul today for next weeks national
convention announced their plans for
a million-dollar campaign which they
expect will net their ticket 1,o9O.0 900
votes.
DIR. r. Leigh Colvin of New York,
president of the Intercollegiate Prohi-
bition Association and one of the lead
ers in the progressive" element said
the coming campaign would mark an
epoch in the history of the prohibition
movement in America, establishing the
party as a menace to the permanency
of both the republican and democratic
organizations.
DR.. Colvin said the principal factors
in increasing the vote would be the
support of the women in states where
they have the ballot and the new
strength the party will receive by ac-
cessions from the broken ranks Of the
progressive party.
c. E. Pitts, secretary of the national
committee, said the million dollar cam
paign will be the factor in the pro-
hibitionists' gain. THE difference be-
tween a campaign fund of $4,000 and
one of 100000 will be reflected i'll
the prohibition party vote" Pitts said
with party organization in every
state we will count our full voting
strength for the first time. We pra g
tically are assured of place on the
ballot in each state except four, and
we hope to gain strength in there. also.
The four states are Mississippi, Ten
nessee. West Virginia and Nevada"

NAVAL TALK TOMORROW
Senator Weeks Makes Fight Against
Provision in Bill for Civilian Po-
sitions With Ensign's Rank.

Consideration of the naval building
yesterday afternoon until tomorrow.
when the naval appropriation bill will
be taken up again. 1t is the hope of
the Senate leaders that consideration of
the bill will be concluded within the
next few days.
Senator Borah forced out of the bill
yesterday a provision to permit the
President. in time of war or when war
is imminent. to compel firms. manufac-
turers or individuals to produce such
materials as the country may need
Vice President Marshall sustained his
point of order that it was general leg
islation in an appropriation bill.
Charges of Politics Injected.
Charges that attempts were being
made to inject politics into the line of
the navy were made by Senator Weeks
during an unsuccessful fight against a
provision to permit the Secretary to
designate annually thirty civilians for
ten years to positions in the engineer
ing departments of the navy with the
rank of ensigns.
This is the first step toward inject
in politics into the line of the navy"
said the senator. and 1 do not want to
see it taken. We have had politics in
the army, but never in the navy
Senator Nelson protested against the
charge
1T isn't politics." he declared That
is not the objection to this amendment,
either. 1t is the old exclusiveness of
the graduates of the Naval Academy,
showing they want none except grad
yates of the Naval Academy to come
into the navy"
Only four or five senators voted with
Senator Weeks against the amendment.
