PROHIbS likely
TO PUT Up own
Dry CANDIDATE
Say Harding Is Not Acceptable
Want Dry Plank and Dry
Ticket, Hinshaw Says.
By DON Z. CHAMBERLAIN,

BY DON L. CHAXBEkLAlN,
UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent }
Chicago, June 1.-THE prohibt-
ton party, disappointed at the
nomination of Senator Warren G.
Harding by the Republicans and at
alleged rebuffs given its represent
atives at the G. o. P. national con-
vention, is planning q presidential
ticket, Virgil G. Hinshaw, chairman
of the prohibition national commit
tee, declared here today.
Little hope is held that the DEM
ocrats will put up 100 per cent
prohibition ticket, said Hinshaw.
"We want something more than
a candidate" he said. I'VE want a
dry plank and a dry ticket
&c. 0. p. D0dged Issue"
The Republicans, dry leaders
charged, "ducked" the issue. A tel
egram was despatched today to
Senator Watson of Indiana, chair
man of the Republican resolutions
committee, asking an interpreta-
ton of clause in the platform
which Hinshaw said placed the
G. O. P. on record ito repeal the
arrogant challenge OF any class and
to maintain the government by all
the people instead of some of the
people" Drys believed this clause
was aimed at them.
Senator Harding will not be &C
cepted by the prohibitionists, said
Hinshaw. A statement explaining
its refusal to support Harding
probably, will be made within few
days
The same objection to Harding
will apply to Governor Cox Of Ohio,
whether he is nominated for the
first or second place on the Demo
cratic ticket. William G. McAdoo
has the endorsement of the drys,
but they said they would not take
him unless he has another dry on
his ticket and an "airtight" dry
plank in his platform.

DUBIOUS LIST;
LOOKS RADICAL
Displeased Over Defeat Of
johnson and "Agin"
Everything.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
(Snacia1 IN Tho Arvweh


st. Paul, Mimi, June l7.-Ffrst
impressions are not always con-
elusive but the reaction Of this part
OF Minnesota to the nom6tion Of
Senator Harding is on the whole
rather favorable. And yet reasons
entirely apart from the personality
of the Ohio senator make it pos
sible even at this early date to
write Minnesota down as a doubt
full state.
For the truth is the Non-P Partisan
league has practically taken pos
session of the Republican party in
Minnesota and the leagues candi-
date for governor in next weeks
primaries is regarded even by op-
ponents of the league as certain of
nomination. Now the Non-Parti-
san league was very friendly to
Hiram johnson and this state was
for Johnson. Mr.. Harding is not
acceptable to the Non-Partisan
league because of his conservatism
and with the elimination of John
son. the leagues vote probably will
go toward Senator LaFollette or
whoever happens to be the nominee
of the party soon to be started at
Chicago by the famous committee
of 48.
Old Parties May Fuse.
Indeed II the Nom Partisan league
captures the Republican primaries
in the gubernatorial race, Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike who
are not in sympathy with philos-
ophy OF the Non-Partisan league
will be urged to fuse their strength
in support of the Democratic can
didate. With Republican state
ticket supported by all parties, the
vote on president may be divided
into three parts which means that
the normally large Republican
vote could easily be split SO that
no section of it would be as big as
| the normal Democratic vote and the
Democrats might win the electral
vote of Minnesota.
Much will depend upon the out
come of next weeks primaries, but
1t will not be forgotten that this
is Roosevelt territory and johnson
was a prime favorite and that in
1916 Woodrow Wilson fell just 397
votes short of overturning an over
whelming Roosevelt majority and

Yield of Rails Is Voted,
29,059 to 8,349, After ;.
Bitter Fight.


Montreal, June 17.-Government
ownership with democratic opera
ton Of American railroads was en-
dorsed today by the American Fed
GRAFTON OF Labor convention here
today, after bitter fight.
Roll call showed that govern
ment ownership was endorsed by a
vote Of 29,059 to S,349.
Disorder interrupted the roll call
several times wSen delegations of
the various crafts divided on their
votes.
Steam Roller Charged.
Charges Of steam roller" were
hurled at the chair by James Dun
can OF Seattle and other delegates
when denied the right of roll call
to delegations that split on the
question.
Applause and "boos" and Kisses
alternately greeted delegation votes.
The building trade delegations
presented almost a solid front
against government ownership,
supporting Gompers and admins
tration forces.
The railroad workers were sup
ported by the great voting power
of the United Mine Workers. ma
chinist unions, textile workers,
garment workers and the metal
trades craft.
The Opening Clash.
The first clash on the roll call
occurred when w. L. Hutchinson,
president Of the carpenters union,
announced tE6t his delegation cast
its 1915 votes against the proposal.
J. A. Ross of the carpenters denied
Mr.. Hutchinson's statement and
asked permission to cast his Ala
votes for government ownership.
More than a dozen delegates pro-
tested when Gompers barred the
Ross vote, counting the entire car
penters' vote against the proposal.
: Gompers' ruling resulted in the
molders' delegation casting its en-
tire vote for the proposal, despite
the fact that John Frey of their
membership opposed the proposal.
Morrison Joins Plan.
Frank Morrison, secretary of the
federation, took the floor and an
nounced that he would support
government ownership.
He declared that he was only
supporting the federation's recon
struction program.
I'VE hear a lot of self-determina-
tion," he added. This thought is
being sunk into the heads Of men,
women and children OF all coun-
tries. We have here proposition
from all rail workers asking as
sistance In securing government
ownership of railroads because
they believe their trials and tribu-
lations under government owner
ship will be far less than they have
been in the past or will be in the
future under private ownership"
Local Man Heard.
Charles p. McGowan Of the
boilermakerS union, formerly
of Rock Island, Ill, declared:
3We would be traitors to our
trust If we did not urge gov
eminent ownership. We are
under instructions Of our great
memberships"
John P. Frey, who spoke against
government ownership. told the del
egates that in his address yester-
day he had been misunderstood and
had not intended to put the stigma
of made in Germany" on govern
ment ownership.
William Green. secretary of the
United Mine Workers, declared that
the workers would be prosecuted

ership in a national emergency
