F,ARlMER-LABOR PARTY
7 NAMES CHRISTENSEN
FOR THE PRESIDENCY

men and farmer groups went through
with a whoop.
With La Toilette removed as poten-
tial candidate for the presidential nom
ination, no well-organized boom was
left. As a result the delegates were
soon provided with an assortment from
which to choose. The list of names
placed in nomination included, besides
Christensen, Dudley Field Malone, New
York; Eugene V. Debs, the socialist
nominee; Henry Ford, Detroit; Louis
+. Post, assistant secretary of labor I;
Governor Lynn j. Frazier of North Da
kota; Jane Adams, and several others.
After one ballot the convention voted
to eliminate all except Christensen and
Malone, the two leaders, and nomina
tion came on the second ballot.
When vice presidential candidates
were called for the convention was
swamped with list of more than 20,
but name after name was withdrawn,
either by the candidates in person or
by friends, until only three were left
Max S. Hayes, Carrie Chapman Gait,
suffragist leader, and Lester Barlow,
ltdutI VI lilt hul Wal NNbNihiAof
Hayes received all excepting about a
dozen votes and the nomination then
was made unanimous and at A O'Clock
the convention adjourned sine die.
The new party's presidential nomi-
nee is a native of the west. He was
born at Weston, Idaho, 40 years ago.
From early life ON farm Christensen,
the eldest of five children, plugged
away at an education until he gradu-
ated in law at Cornell university. He
since has spent most of his time in
Salt Lake City.
Prior to 1912 Christensen was ranked
as a "dolliver" Republican, but allied
himself with the Bull Moose in that
year. The death of that party set
him adrift, and he said he "sidled into
the stall" and voted for Wilson in

of Coal to Allies
Monthly
THREE CONDITIONS
ARE PRESENTED
A Hurried Response Made
Just Before Allied Pre-
miers Were to Meet

Spa, Belgium, July I5=-Germany to-
day notified the allies that her cabinet
had agreed to the allied demand for the
delivery of two million tons of coal
monthly under three essential condi-
tions and other minor conditions. She
also stipulated that she must receive
raw materials.
The German acceptance was embod-
led in note which was laid before the
allied premiers this noon by Premier
Lloyd George. The conditions were
these;
First4The German government to
have the distribution of the Silesian
coal, or be allotted 100000 tons
monthly for northern Germany instead
of the present allotment of 100000
tons.
Second-A mixed commission to be
sent to Essen to examine food and
housing conditions.
Third The allies are asked to ad.
vance money or provide credit for i'm
porting additional food for the entire
German population.
Foreign Minister Simons sent word
to Premier Lloyd George about an
hour before the allied representatives
met to-day that Germany would az
cede to the allied demand and that a
written note would be forwarded i'm.
mediately. The foreign minister said
that by this means he wished TO pre-
vent the allies from forwarding the
proposed ultimatum to Germany
Consequently, although the allied
minister knew when they reached the
Villa Fraineuse at IL o'clock, that Ger
many had yielded, they did not know
of the conditions laid down until with
in few moments OF the noon hour.

II appears that the boy with other
playmates was interested in motor

Of Windsor and Main streets, when the
big car came moderately around the
corner Young Hurley, not observing
the approaching car, backed in front of
it. being caught with his clothing by
the bumper and dragged under the
front wheel, which passed over his
shoulder. and, then under the rear
wheel. which passed across his bowels
and hip.
He was Immediately taken in the
car to the Office of DIR Fish, who made
an examination and thought there
were no bones broken but bunch APP
peared upon the boys bowels and it
was thought best TO take him to the
Randolph hospital. which was immedi-
ately done in the same car that had
run over him,
IT is a sad accident for the boy

not appear that the automobile was be-
ing driven at a high rate Of speed.
