MINOR GROUPS
FAIL TO AGREE
and
Laborites to Name
Separate Ticket

CHICAGO, July 11.@CP-Sepa-
rate presidential candidats, rather
than a fusion choice, appeared the
likely iutcome Of the prohibition and
farmer-labor party conventions ms
each moved into its second session
today.
Leaders desired to replace the two
groups with a new single party, but
a lengthy conference OF three del
egates from each convention yester-
day failed to reach any desirable
plan Of amalgamation-
Late hour prophets last night were
unanimous in the opinion that each
group would select its own candidate
today. when both conventions we're
expected to end.
Neither party appeared willing to
become subordinate to the other. A
single anti-wet plank was the pro-
h~ibitionists' aim, while the farmer
laborites opposed a dry declaration.
Defeat Of Smith II the principal
aim Of the prohibition party, de-
clared DR.. D.. Leigh Colvin Of New
York, keynoter Of the drys. A need
for new party slignments. due to the
neglect Of the laboring man, was
stressed by Mrs. Laura Hughes
Lunde, Chicago. who delivered the
laborites' keynote speech.
Mrs. Lunde charged both major
parties with being equally guilty Of
corruption, citing the war graft Of
the democrats" and the "republi-
cans little green house on X
street"
DR.. Colvin in his attack on Tam
many charged that the democrats
are misleading the south by saying
n a a wet president could do
nothing without congress.
Only % states were represented
on the prohibition roll call, while 10
western and middle western states
and the District OF Columbia com
pleted the farmer-labor list.
