j. S. POPULATION EST|-
MATED At 105,000,000
Growth Of Country Has Not Kept
Pace With PEevious RecordI on
Account Of the World War. and
the Influenza Epidemic.

The population of continental
United States is estimated at 105,-
100000 by ]. A. Hill, chief statis-
tician of the Census Bureau. His
calculation is based on the combined
populations Of Laos cities and towns
for which statistics have been an
nounced.
The increase over 1910 is placed at
about 100000, showing the
growth of the country has not kept
pace with previous decades. Almost
complete cessation of immigration
during the war is the chief reason
assigned for the falling off. Other
suggestions were the two influenza
epidemics, return Of aliens to their
native lands and deaths Of soldiers
during the war.
The aggregate population Of the
cities and towns on which the esti
mate was made is Al ,029,S54. Thi'
is an average gain Of 20 per cent
compared with S5 per cent in th'
previous decade.

whoop.ng cough, chicken poX, scarlet
fever, mumps, typhoid fever, dyph-

More than 30 per cent of the cases of
tuberculosis were contracted from in
fluenza.
Another interesting fact brought
out by the survey is the fact that
the majority of persons who have
suffered from tonsilitis are adults.
This is unusual, as this is considered
children's ailment And again, a
number Of people suffering from
eye trouble are adults.
Aside from deaths resulting from
influenza, the survey reveals that an
alarmingly high percentage Of deaths
in Clovis came violently, or other
than natural causes or by sickness
among the number being deaths caus-
ed by drowning, burns, automobile
and railway accidents, lock-jaw fol

San Francisco, June 30.-Wil-
liam G. McAdoo was placed in nonli-
nation for the presidency late this
afternoon in one of the shortest nomi-
mating speeches on record, by DR..
Burris jenkins of Kansas City.
After Cox, Palmer, Gerard, Cum
mings, Hitchcock and others had
been placed in nomination jenkins
took the platform and told the con-
vention that in view Of the persist
ent and insistent demands from Nc
Adoo that no nominating speech be
made for him, he would acceed to
that request, but that it might be
necessary to draft him for the serv-
ice Of the nation"
Any rumors that McAdoo would
not serve II nominated, jenkins told
the convention, could be dismissed
as "the work of enemies"
Jenkins merely said: 81 nominate
William G. McAdoo," and the pent
up enthusiasm of the McAdoo forces
broke loose in a loud and noisy dem
onstration.
A parade around the convention
floor started as soon as the short
speech was finished, and soon the
standards Of Washington, Deleware,
louisiana, Alabama, Utah, New
Mexico, Arkansas, Oregon, Maine
Wyoming, Arizona, Texas, Idaho,
Kansas, Nevada, Hawaii, Wisconsin
