I ?
NOMINATED BY PROHIBITIONISTS
AT LINCOLN.
Convention Stampeded in Spite of !
Telegram From Commoner
Definitely Declining Honor.
j Lincoln. Neb., July' 21.?W. J. :
| Bryan was nominated by acclamation '
as the prohibition party's presiden-'
rial nominee at the national conven|
tion today^ The nomination came;
; after a "resolution "tendsrir ' Ixn
I n-p af o r> d r> v<? Hpj? Vf?V had
I t'iic ikiv;i V 1 ^ vv* . ? -
brought out the fact in debate that
he had telegraphed friends here that
; he "could not accept.''
j In naming Mr. Bryan the conveni
tior. upset precedent as well as its
i program by selecting the candidate
I on the first day. Nominations were
I not' "scheduled until Friday.
I 'The nomination came after a
; stampede of the delegates, which was
/? TTT /-1
; started by the resolution 01 vv. u.
i Cakierwood of Minnesota tendering
| Mr. Bryan the nomination and ask!
ing him to reply promptly whether
j he would accept.
I Charles W. Bryan sent a letter to
j the convention after it reconvened
I urging1 that it reject the resolution
j and saying that Mr. Bryan's friends
J would oppose his acceptance.
After considerable debate C. N.
Howard, a Xew York delegate, read
: the following telegram from W. J.
| Bryan:
J "Prohibition Convention,
j "Lincoln,. Neb.
| "I appreciate your confidence in
i me. Piease see my brother, C. W.
I Bryan. Ke will fully explnin why aci
ceptance is impossible."
The telegram was in reply to one
! Mr. Howard sent to Mr? Bryan yes- j
terday asking if he would accept rhe
! nomination. j
Speakers then charged that secretj
j conferences between delegates and j
Charlie Bryan had been held in the j
last 24 hours with the apparent ob- j
ject of preventing Mr. Bryan $ nomination
on the ground that he did not
want to be named.
The fact that these conferences had
i not be^n made public seemed to anger
many delegates and speech after
spech favoring the Calderwood resolution
followed until it was adopted
with only six dissenting votes out of
the more than 200 .delegates present.
This apparently was only the spark
of the fire, however, for delegates
clamored for the floor, each urging
that Bryan actually be nominated.
Mrs. Marie Brehm of California,
first woman chairman of a national
convention, relinquished the chair
and placed Mr. Bryan in nomination.
The delegates immediately went
into the usual post-nomination uproar
with a parade and shouting and
whooping. After 15 minutes, they
finally realized that they had not yet
actually nominated Mr. Bryan and |
proceeded to make him their nomi- j
kx* o nnln rv? of irvr* Qnrl
ucu u\ atLiaiiiauiuii* x ii^u unu vn*
from the hot all day session and the
previous /demonstration they grave
only a few seconds' applause when
the nomination actually was made.
The nomination was seconded by Nebraska,
Florida, Missouri, Illinois,
California, Wisconsin and Ohio.
During the parade, Mr. Howard remained
aloof until some one shoved
him in line and later he walked" out
of the auditorium.

acceptance of the Republican nomi- j y
nation for president that he was!

fiuence for ra^.cation in time for all! a

The announcement followed a call j a
by representatives of the National j S

tion, and took the form of a telegram j *to
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, head?
of the association, at Nashville,
Tenn.
"I am exceedingly glad ttj learn," Ji
the telegram said, "that you are in
Qpriirinp- to consummate the

their course, I would cordially recom- r
mend an immediate favorable action/'
In presenting their plea and securing
results tonight the asso- s

march o'i a Relegation of the National
Women's party, who had
, planned to enliven the formal noti- "
fication ceremonies tomorrow by de
i manding that the nominee urge Republican
legislators in Tennessee to j
vote for ratification. What action
; the Women's party delegation would
| take was uncertain tonight, but their s
j engagement to see Senator Harding j.
| tomorrow stood.
The conference between Senator g
i Harding and the party of women oc- e
; cupied only a few minutes and followed
a day given over largely to y
I last minute preparations for the rati-*'
' fication ceremonies, at which the i *

est by recent developments, was dis- ^
cussed by the candidate at a two hour ^
conference with Senator Lodge of n

notification 'speech, and who as chair- a

PUBLISHERS HEAR
OPTIMISTIC NOTE
NEW PRESIDENT THINKS PRICES
MUST DECLINE.
Texas Man Says High Peak Will
Not Go Longer Than
Next Year.
Asheville, N., C., July 21.?The
first note of optimism sounded dur
ing the 18th annual session of the
Southern Newspaper Publishers' association,
which closed here this afternoon,
came from M. E. Foster of
the * Houston Chronicle, who, in accepting
the election as the news pres- |
ident, told the delegates that the high
peak of prices would not go longer
than during the year 1921. He said
that all the talks and addresses delivered
at the association, session
were propaganda tending to boost
the price of news print, but that he
- i J J.*
had given the matter some attention
and did not believe that the manufacturers
would be able to maintain
the high prices longer than one re
year.
The labor troubles of the publish.
ers and the union employees, when it
is found tha^ they can- not be adjusted
by conciliation, be adjusted by
arbitration, the publishers decided, in
adopting a resolution introduced by
Major Stahlman. of the Nashville
: Banner, who has been one of the
strongest .workers of the convention
for a definite solution of the labor ^
problems. He also brought in a res
fnln^rm. which was unanimoi;$ly
adopted, pledging the publishers to
. hold their use of newsprint for 1920
. for period between May 1 and December
31, to the same amount or
less than was used during the same
. time last year.
J. C. Wilmuth o? El Paso told of
the paper mills now being operated
in Mexico and suggested that country
as a possible source of supply for
new wood pulp along with Alaska,
although the convention did not "take
ho the suggestion as it did to Alaska,
a committee having' been appointed
to investigate the possibilities of the
latter country. ? j . .
President Henry D. Smith of the
American Association of^Advertising:
Agencies, addressed the publishers
briefly, urging a closer cooperation
between the newspaper men and the
ad men. William J. Pape of Waterbury,
Conn., arrived too late for tho
regular business of the convention,
but during the afternoon addressed
a small group of publishers on 1'The
~ 1 * r- Tfa
ruDiisners % i_>u_y \juiyviabivu,
Pla^3 and Purposes."
Major Stahlman, in addre?si?g the
convention, stated that the'most serious
period in the history of the association
is^facing the publishers who
are unable to make -'contracts for
news print and wftose supplies are
short. He cited his own paper for
example of what he said should be,
done to conserve paper.
Jason Rogers, publisher of the
New York Globe, failed to arrive to
take part in the discussions, although
he Iiad been given a place on the program.
Following the conclusion of
the publishers' meeting this after'
noon, the Southern Council of the
Associated Press held its annual
- meeting with H. C. Adler of the
. Chattanooga Time* chairman, presiding.
Supt. L. C. Probert of the
i Southern division at Washington at-j
l tended the meeting, which was declared
to have been one of the best
