SULZER AND HARLY LEAD
JEx-New York Governor Boomed by

Mentioned
By GEORGE R. HOLMES
.'ST. PAUU, Minn., July lD.-i-Wlth mnny
of the 12G0 accredited delegates missing, the
Prohibition National Convention formally
Kot under way here today In perhaps tho
most momentous meeting In the life of the
party.
Two paramount problems, both of which
were browed here In St. Paul, promised to
make tho sessions lively.' They are the
selection of a national ticket, which has
i developed some oleventh'hour compllca
tlons, and the proposition of changing the
party's name In the hope of attracting to
It reform stragglers from nil parties.
It seems certain today that either William
Rulzer, former -Governor- of New York, or
ex-governor Itanly, of Indiana, will head
the national ticket this fall. Tho Hanly
boom has developed amazingly 'and his
backers were predicting his nomination by
acclamation.
Against this Hanly tide, Eugene W.
Chafln, the part' standard bearer of tho
last two campaigns, has thrown nil his
strength, which Includes that of the "con
servative" clement of tho party, which he
controls.' Thero In an Intenso personal
feeling between Hanly and Chafln, which
the, latter makes no effort to conceal.
"I will do anything to beat Frank
Hanly," waB Chafln's frank characteriza
tion of his position today. Working against
both of these booms Is an agitation begun
by National Treasurer H. P. Farls, of MIs
, eourl, for a "mixed" ticket man for presi
dential candidate and a woman for Vice
President.
Th'o ticket proposed by Farls Is Dr. Ira
Xandrlth, of Nashville, Tcnn., and Miss
Marls C. Brchm, of Chicago, whose nomi
nation he believes would absurd the prohibi
tionists n, large part of tho 4,000,000 votes
which nro, controlled by tho woman's
party.
The k only dark horse candidate In tho
field was ex-Governor Kugcno N. Foss, of
Massachusetts. Ho has many friends
among tho western delegates. lie has re
plied to their cntrentlcs that he would be
candidate If he Is assured of a united
party. Bccauso of Illness, Foss will not
be' hero.
With one or two exceptions, notably
Indiana and Oregon, none of the State
delegates Is pledged to support any one
r candidate. Tho Oregon delegation Is pledged
to Itanly; tho Indiana contingent to Sumner
TV, Haynes, who is ready to release them
to Hanly the moment it looks ns though
lie would be nominated.
If the party leaders stick to the pro
gram, nominations will not he made beforo
Friday, but there wns agitation started to.
day b many of tho delegates to '"get It
over" wltth" quickly and go home.
.Colonel John M. Parker, the Progressive
leader, in a communication received here
today, said he was a local optlonlst, not a
prohibitionist, and as such could not par
ticipate In tho counc Is of the party. Tho
Prohibitionists hoped he would recognize
1 their patty and throw his strength toward
their national ticket.
