Chicago Mayor Tells Why He
Will Decline Reelection as
National Committeeman.
IS OPPOSED TO LEAGUE
Money Changes Must Be Ousted
From White House if Re-

Chicago, June 6-Mayor William
Thompson of Chicago in a signed
statement declining to be a candidate
for reelection as Republican National
Committeeman said he refused because
he cannot and will not accept election
to office, the forceful administration
of which might make me a party to
the purchase of the high office of pres

Mayor Thompson also declared that
'sin the Illinois primary election a ma
jority of those voting in Chicago ex-
pressed the demand that the United
States get out of Europe and stay out.
He expressed opposition to the league
of nations and added that although
a majority of Illinois delegates promis-
ed to vote for him again as National
Committeeman that acceptance might
compel me to sacrifice principals for
which the people of Chicago voted.
Campaign investigations by the SEN
ate Committee further impelled him to
the decision. He continued ''it is ap-
parent that certain interests would
place the White House on the auction
block. He said they assume that the
candidate with vast sums of money to
spend can be made president regard
less of his record, his lack of prin-

Thompson then referred to charges

VERNON LEAVES
FOR DRY DOCKS
Was to Have Been Picked Up
Here But Storm Interfered
With Completion at Plant.

The City of Vernon left yesterday
morning for Mobile to go on the dry
dock there to be scraped and painted
before going into the world of COM
merce. She will be allocated to Cal
weston and will engage in cotton car
rying following her return from the
first trip across the Atlantic. She
will be commanded by Captain McLain,
one of the youngest masters of an
American steamer.
The City of Vernon was scheduled to
be the first ship to go ON the newly
completed Bruce dry dock, but the
storm of last Friday delayed the Bruce
dock going into operation for few
days. The new ship could not be de-
layed until the docks are put in first
class shape and sailed yesterday to
go on the Mobile dock.
Three Pensacola boys are spending
their summer vacation on the new
vessel. sailing as mess boys. Oliver
Semmes, Tommy johnson and Jack
Cant signed the ships articles and will
spend part of the summer making a
trip with the ship as she goes on
her first trans Atlantic voyage.
Captain McLain received his masters
papers in May, 1919 and has been In
charge of several ships since that time.
He is barely 80 years of age and
has spent most Of his life on the seas,
beginning as an apprentice and work
ing up to the position of command.
The Bruce dry dock was temporarily
incapacitated in the wind and heavy
rain storm last Friday waen the winds
drove the sections over their moorings
and disorganized them. The sections
were driven against the smaller dock
which had lifted the Consul causing
the blocks to be knocked from under
the tug. The Consul will have to be
relifted before the work can be- com
pleted.
A small hole was punched through
one of the side walls of one of thel
sections of the larger dock and this isl
now being repaired. The pilings will
all be drawn and reset before the dock
will be ready to take up its work.
Crews are working night and day and
the dock is expected to be in readi-
ness for operation by Wednesday or
Thursday of this week.

The Governors order is in accordance

had to be done except to put through
a predetermined program.

demonstrated" for an hour. Bryan
had the nomination by a unanimous
howl
Incidentally the business of dem
onstrating" at national conventions
like all business, has now been organ

A special committee of the conven-
tion managers is appointed to have
charge of the demonstration.
1t is decided by this committee just
at what time the demonstration Is
to come, and what is to be its char
acter.

them in convenient places SO they can

and the picture all rolled up in a roll
OF sheeting which can be released by
string when the moment comes for
showing it.
The committee is also expected TO
have pretty lady in a pretty dress
with a pretty banner in a convenient
front seat to do some patriotic wav-
ing. and lead the cheers
At first, of course, there just hap
pened to be a pretty lady and she hap
pened to get excited and happened to
drape the flag around herself and leap
screaming into the spotlight Now it
is all carefully staged.
The convention of 1916 demonstrated
with reasonable degree OF spontane-

the evening of the last day when il
was arranged that William Jennings
Bryan should make his formal speech
