MARION, o.. July s2.-The Re-
publican campaign attained full
speed ahead with formal notification
of Warren G. Harding the party's
nominee for the presidency. The
notification ceremonies when
brought many big leaders here IN
cluded an acceptance speech by the
senator, interpreting the Chicago
platform, and declaring the princi-
pies on which he expects the cam
paign to be fought out.
One delegation to whose coming
Senator Harding looked forward -
with keenest participation was a
brass band from Caledonia, his boy
hood home. 1t had been pieced to-
gether by his old associates of the
days when he played the trombone.
The purple, white and gold of the
woman's suffrage cause early made
its appearance in the gathering
crowd, but a plan of the women to
picket the ceremonies was abandon
ed. Last night he saw a delegation
from the National American Wo-
mems Association. and afterward
sent a telegram to Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait, head OF the association
declaring that if any Republican
member of the legislature asked his
opinion he would advise the amend
ment be ratified at once.
Will H. Hays, the national chair
man was the presiding officer The.
program included an invocation by
Bishop William s. Oldham. of the
Episcopal church, the for
nal notification speech by Senator

RAILROAD MEN
STILL CONFER
Consideration of Award of the
Railroad Board is Contin-
ued by Union Heads.

CHICAGO, July 2z.-Heads of the
great railroad brotherhoods this
morning were divided in opinion on
the course OF action which should be
pursued as to acceptance or rejec-
ton of the 5000. 100000 wage in
crease granted by the railway labor
board.
At the close of an allsnisht session
at which no agreement was reached
on plan for concerted action six of
the brotherhoods in addition to the
masters mates. and pilots of America
had expressed their decision as fav-
orable to acceptance of the award in
its entirety, seven favored referring
the question to the union with rec
concentrations that it be accepted;
two were undecided and one. the
brotherhood of railway telegraphers
had decided to reject the award and
were said to be declaring for strike
ballot.
Efforts to compromise the attitude
of the various brotherhoods was un-
der way this morning and hope for
a report by the union chiefs to the
1000 general chairman was enter
tanned.
1t was pointed out that should no
agreement be reached by the heads
OF the DrOtnernOOQ edCll VI 6dhl-dtioH
might take individual action on the
award. Despite the differences of
opinion among the leaders the union
chiefs reiterated today that there
was no danger of an immediate and
concerted strike.
The railway labor board which
yesterday declined to reopen the
railway wage cases at the request OF
the brotherhood and expressed the
opinion that it had done all possible
in the case of the railroad employees.
today began hearings on the applica-
tions for increased pay of 10000 en-
ployes of the American Railway Ex-
press Company who were not in
cluded in the railway mems award.
The board declared that reopening
of the investigation would delay the
back pay award which they believe
the workers should receive in their
August l pay envelope. The order
was made retroactive to May 1 and
the back pay is estimated to average
about 5000 apiece to the workers
benefited by the increase.

when the opposite was the case. The
will for this reason is being contest
ed by the whole family.
Senator Brown said, 'the scheme
proposed in his will for the dispo-
sition of his property is impossible
of performance and he further seeks
to place a limitation on the DISPOSE
ton of his property so that it never
can be sold. This is against all rea-
son and a violation of the law.
insofar as Mrs. Kramer is con-
cerned she will fare just the same as
IL Mr.. Kramer never made any will
as the law protects her. The justice
OF this law is quite apparent for
every woman who devotes the best
part of her life to motherhood and
the care of her family should not be
disregarded in her declining years.
No doubt when Mr.. Kramer was a
poor man Mrs. Kramer shouidered
the hard part of the matrimonial
union. The is therefore justly en-
titled to slNare in the material bene-
fits that have accrued during the
marriage relation"

BRYAN CHOICE
Of THE ''DRYS'
Not Known Who His Running
Mate Win be---Prohibition
Session to End Today.

BY The Associated Press.
LINCOLN, Neb., July 22-Wltn
the nomination of its Presidential
candidate completed, the prohibition
national convention today turned It's
attention towards the selection OF
vice presidential candidate. the
adoption of a platform and election
az a new national committee. Ad-
journment tonight was CONSIDERED
possible.
The convention nominated VIII
liam J. Bryan for its presidential
candidate over a protest made by
Charles Bryan, his brother, through
New York delegates Early today
word had been received from Mr..
Bryan concerning his attitude on
The nomination.

outstanding figures in the first days
session OF the convention yesterday
She was chosen permanent cnalr-
man of the convention ana aiter
presiding with vigor over its delio-
erations all afternoon yielded the
chair and placed Bryan in nomina-
ton.
a vice presidential possibility was
brought to an abrupt stop by the
eyangelist's statement made in HOOD
River. Oregon, that he considered
Senator Harding a satisfactory ory
candidate.
The platform committee still was
in session when the convention met
this morning. but was expected 10
conclude its deliberations during the
day. Indications were that the plat
form would contain a clear cut de-
claration against any less stringent
enforcement of the eighteenth
amendment than is now provided Dy
the Volstead act and brief plank
setting forth the party's sympathy
with Just" claims OF labor. A
league of nations pronouncement
was expected which would declare
for a league of nations but not spe-
cifically for the league provided for
in the covenant of the treaty of Ner-
sailles. An anti-lynching plank and
a party declaration on the subject OF
Mexico. also were scheduled. Selec-
ton of the party's new national COM
mittee shows a larger proportion OF
women than usual as the result OF
the recommendation of the old
national body that each state select
one man an one woman for
membership on the committee where
practicable. Members of the. COM
mittee are recommended by the state
delegation and the selections are
then submitted TO the convention for

They came from all parts of the
country and the dominent keynote
in all was that this was "Mr. Bryan's
to sweep the country
because people everywhere were
disguised with both the Democratic
and Republican parties"

CAUSES
TRAFFIC DELAY
Roads in This Section Posted
With Bridge Closed Signs
--Push Work on the Span

With the state bridge over the Ra-
ritan river between this city and
South Amboy closed to traffic, trolley
service between these two cities has
ceased as has the operation of auto
busses from Perth Amboy to South
Amboy, Keyport and Keansburg.
and automobiles wishing to go to the
shore resorts are being forced to
make a long detour by way of Me-
tuchen and New Brunswick. This
section has been well posted by the
state highway department with
signs telling of the bridge being
closed and giving directions for the
necessary detours.
These "Amboy bridge closed" signs
have been placed in Railway. at the
overhead Pennsylvania railroad
bridge directing all traffic for the
shore resorts to take route 1 from
that place to Metuchen and thence
signs have been posted and also at
conspicuous places in this city.
Owing to the short notice given
by the highway department that the
bridge had been closed, many auto
mobiles were caught on the South
Amboy side of the bridge yesterday
afternoon and forced to return to
Perth Amboy by way of New Bruins
wick. Parties going to Asbury Park.
Lakewood and Atlantic City, who
had failed to learn of the condition
of the bridge here, were forced to
stop here yesterday. last night and
this morning and go by way of New
Brunswick.
Signs have been placed on traffic
posts in various parts of the city
directing traffic to make the detour.
1t is expected that by Saturday and
Sunday sufficient publicity will have
been given the fact that the bridge
is closed to divert most of the auto
mobiles from this city. As a result
the ferry traffic is expected to be
but slight as compared with that
usually found over the week end.
Inquiries from the American Auto
mobile Association, private parties
and trucking concerns of New York
and places to the north of Perth
Amboy continue to be received at
short intervals at the NEWS Office
asking whether or not the bridge is
closed and when it will again be
open for traffic.

remembrance of the way she treated
her father. and other members of
the family who are dissatisfied with
the bequests of Mr.. Kramer. had
this to say today in regard to the
matter:
According to Senator Brown. Mr..
Kramer was not of sound mind. He
was laboring under a fancy delusion
that dethroned entirely his reason.
This delusion was that his wife and
d~"ehter were rnfriendly TO him.
