The above ticket was nominated by
the Prohibition national convention

The full Indorsement of the conven

atter three ballots had been taken.
On the first two ballots, Mr, Chafin
did not show a great amount of
strength, receiving but 195 out of 1,
083 votes on the first una 37G out of
1,087 on the second ballot. His nomi
nation was practically assured, how
ever, when the roll call began for the
third ballot. His own state, which
hod voted largely for Daniel II. Sheen
of Peoria, and the New York delega
tion, followed by Indiana and Wiscon
sin, came over to Mr. Chafin and on
the third ballot he received a total of
C3G votes.
A. G. Wolfcnbarger of Nebraska
made the nominating speech for Mr.
Chafin.
The strongest competitor of Mr
Chafin was Rev. William B. Palmore
of St. Louis, who received 274 votes
on the first ballot and 418 on the sec
ond ballot and a comparatively small
vote after it was apparent that the
nomination of Mr. Chafin could not be
prevented.
The convention up to this time run
smoothly and without the slightest
friction. It was decided to make Mr.
Palmore the vice presidential nomi
nee and he was nominated by accla
mation. He declined to accept the of
fice, however, and persisted In his at
titude The convention, finding itself
confronted with the necessity of nam
ing another vice presidential candi

a deep parliamentary tangle. The
rules were several times suspended
and the suspensions immediately re
voked. Finally It was decided that
Professor Aaron S. Watkins of Ada,
O.. should be named by acclamation.
There was no opposition to him at the
moment, and Chairman Charles Scan
Ion was on the verge of declaring
Professor Watkins the nominee, when
delcgatps in various parts of the hall
brole In with a flood of motions,
counter motions, amendments and sus
pension of the rules. An extended de
bate followed, which finally resulted In
the lestoratlon ,of the rules, and a
ballot for the vice presidency. Three
men were named, Professor Watkins.
T. B. Demni ee of Kentucky and
Charles S. Holler of Indiana. The bal
lot resulted In the nomination of Pro

majority and he was immediately
thereafter, on motion of the Kentucky
delegates, made the unanimous nomi
nee. The Platform.

UNITED KINGDOM HAS BIG LEAD
Overtakes American Team In Count
for Track and Field Events.
The United Kingdom, which before
the opening of the Olympic games
at the Stadium in Loudon, had a
big lead over all other nations In the
number of wins -in the contest for su
premacy In nil sports, most of which,
however, were scored in competition
in which other nations took place, al
most doubled that lead the paBt week
and furthermore overtook the Amer
ican team in the count for track and
field events. But this has not served
to dishearten the American athletes.
James E. Sullivan, the commission
er representing the United States,
said: "We have come liete to win the
championship In field sports and we
are going to do it debplte the handicap
fioni which wo are stiffeiing This
handicap lias been twofold In the
first place the men came to- a country
having the worst possible climate tor
those unused to It, and this affected
thorn very seriously.
"The other handicap against which
we have had to contend is the manner
In which the heat drawings have been
conducted. The dtawlngs have gone
against us In the 1,500 meter race,
when our best men, Sheppard and
Halstead, were pitted against each
other, and' the same thing occuired in
the 800 meter event."

Admiral Rojestvensky was ordered,
early in August, 1904, to have his
squadron In readiness to proceed from
the Dnltio around to Vladivostok.

ninrkahlo voyages over inntlo and re
sulted In the annihilation of the Rus
sian Bnltic fleet. Tho start was mndo
from Libnu, on Oct. 1(5 of thnt year,
und passing around Denmark, the Rus
sians encountered tho British North
sen fishing fleet off Dogger bank. The
warships fired on tho fishermen, mis
taking thorn for torpedo bonts, which
led to n strnincd Btuto of nffnlra be
tween Great, Britain and Russia that
nt'ono time threatened to result in
hostilities between the two countries.
An International commission of in
quiry, however, which met at Pnris,
after a complete Investigation, excused
the admiral for his action, while con
demning the firing.
The battle of tho Sea of Jnpan wua
the greatest nnvnl struggle since Tra
falgar. Entering tho Strnlts of Tsu
shima, between Korea nnd Japan, the
Russians were attacked by the Japa
nese under Admiral Togo, the opening
shotB in the fight being fired nbout 2
o'clock on the afternoon of May 27.
Although inferior In number of their
bnttleshipH, the tactics nnd superior
range of their guns gave tho Japanese
n great ndvantnge and enabled them
to indict a crushiug defeat un tho

Tho battle lasted until tho afternoon
of May 28 nnd Included a general en
gagement nnd a torpedo attack on the
night of May 27. Tho Knlaz Sou

himself seriously wounded, was res
cued by u Russian torpedo boat, which
was afterwards raptuied by the Japa

Admiral Voelkersam wbb kllltd In tho
conning tower of the Oslysbn and
Admiral Nebogntoff was taken prison

five miles from Hot Springs Judge
Tail accepted tho Invitation to he
present at this ceremony on the
ground thnt it was a neighborhood af
fair. The subject of his speech was
tho administration of Justice by the
courts. He was greeted by a largo
nsseinblago of sojourners at neighbor
ing resorts and country folk, many of
whom travoled fat to see and hear the
Republican cuudldate for the presi
dency. He was given a cordial wel
come. The strongth of the Judiciary, lie de
clared, was based on the fact that It
rusted on the principle that the peo
ple share in the responsibility for tho
work of the courts, in the form of
duty on Jurios and iu other capacities
He Justified proper criticism of the
courts hj tho people, because by such
criticism "those who administer Ju?
tlce shall feel that they are under the
critical en of men and women entl
tied to have Justice of the people ad
ministered without fear or favor." He
could not come into the atmosphere
ot the court, he snld, without a feel
ing of deep regret that he had ever
loft the bench. He concluded his re
marks by congratulating Bath county
upon the fact that in it the two grent
political parties are nearly equally di
vldod, which, he said, was a guarantee
tgalnst evils in the administration of
tho government.
