CELEBRATING FALL
 OF OLD KING BOOZE
Prohibition Party Opens Convention Want Bryan. to Head Ticket
 He Declines.

Lincoln, Neb., July 21.-The pro- hibition party opened its 18th an nual convention here today prepared to give over much of three days and night sessions to jubilation over the downfall of John Barleycorn.
 Indications were that such matters as nominees and platform blanks would wait two days on the jubila- ton.
 The opening session found the del egates almost unanimously in favor of William J. Bryan as their presi- dential nominees and yet divided as to whether the convention should nominate him.
 Bryan's friends here who claim to be speaking for him firmly reiterate previous statements that he will not accept the nomination, will not run on any ticket and feels that the party should not name any candi- dates, confining- its activities instead to local campaigns.
 Groups of delegates planned to try to have Bryan nominated unanimous Iy regardless of his own views. There also was a. movement to prevent his on the ground that he should not be placed in an embarras- sing position. Nominations are not until Friday
