PROHlDiTIONiSTS TO
NAME A FULL NATIONAL
TICKET
Atlantic City, N. J., July 6.—
The nation prohibition convention
with nearly 1,000 delegates in
attendance, will open in the city
Wednesday morning to nominate
candidates for President and
Vice-President, and map out
plans for the fall campaign. The
prohibitionists believe that party
is in a petition to make a strong
bi^or national support in Nov
ember and the convention pro
mises to be one of the mcffit int-
esting in years.
In addition to the vital question
of prohibiting traffic in liquor,
the coavention expect to wrestle
average citizen'i problem of woman suff-
_ roots or dit
si stupor. .
The hope for the future lies in
the fact that some of our pedple
are convinced and aiarm^. Tfee
chief cause for discouragement
is that most of tKir people are iitill
uncredulous, and refuse to be-
ijfeve that BurMngtto has an un-
derw^orld, reeking with filth and
vice and liquor, in which even
our boys are being swallowed up.
With the fatal optimism of the
ostrich they cover their heads
and refuse to see daviger.
Time was when Burlington was
a rural village, inhabited by pure
stock from the country; when vi-
eiju3 people were few; when con
sequently dens of vice were Lss
prontable, and when iii the sim-
pier life of the smali vi'iage
ihere was less opportunit\ tor
•ice to hide. It is recognized as
a principle by all authorities on
municipal affairs that as villi-qres
gj'ov; into cities, as the ranks of
vicioas and intemperate people
svvell, dens of vice natural I ymul-
iip;y to meet the increased de-
rand. Only eternal vigilance and
iaiieinthe part of righteous
tnd zealou? officers can prevent
ihc;r multiplying even more rap
idly than the population. In no
other matter is the optimist npi e
iikely to be deceived. What he
sees through the years is the rap
idly swelling ranks of noble, god
ly citizens, whose works seek the
knt. Vice on the other hand
wks the darkness of the under-
V ;rid, and there its dena multi-
py. They have multiplied in
i'uriington.
I am not discussing, and trust
that others will not waste energy
discussing, the profitless question
K^hetiier Burlington is better
or worse than it was twenty
years ago. It is sufficient to
know that Burlington never be
fore had so many noble citizens;
that she probably never before
had so many who are fired with
zeal for civic righteousness, and
that there is a growing convict
ion that probably never before
"ftas there so imperative need for
the active exercise of zeal in
suppressing vice and the illicit
sale of liquor.
Next Sunday night should
mark a new era in the history
of Burlington. All the men of
the city should endeavor to pack
into the Methodist church. Wo-
nien too should go, and in case
the church overflows let the wo-
men stay outeide and pray that
tht men may experience a moral
?^vivai and be swept into a
f‘*-ghty campaign to cleanse our
City from its dens of vice.
Hitherto the
of Burlington has felt distress- ™ and some form of the inita-
5t;gly little concern for the moral referendum and reca-
fegeneration of our city. Our of-1 jj ’
hcers with or more less justice! *j^any delegates already are

convention are apportioned

ResoIntioM of Respect.
Whereas, our former secretary,
Mr. Walter H. Williamson, has
tendered his resignation as sec
retary of this class on account of
the fact that he has removed his
residence from the City of Bur
lington, and wilL therefore not
be able to meet-with the class at
its sessions in the future:
Therefore, be it resolved:
1. Tlmt we do most deeply
regret the fact that we are to be
denied his presence and help in
this clas^, but we appreciate
most deeply and sincerely the
great service that he has render
ed to the class during his connec
tion with it and oi’’" t>est wishes
and sincere love wij] follow him
wherever he goes,
2. That a copy of these reso-
lutioRs be spread upon the min
utes ol the class, and a copy
turned oyer to the local palters
for publication.

Wytheville, Va., July 4.—The
second trial of Claude Alleu was
resumed tins morning, the "juror
whose sudden illness brought the
case to a halt yesterday having
recovered sufficiently to take his
place in the jury box.
Six vntnesses were examined
today, all of them being subject
ed to severe cross-examination in
an effort to have them change
statements made at the former
trial of the defendant when he
was found guilty of second de
gree murder. All, however,
stuck to their testimony as origi
nally given.
The chief witness today was
Clerk Dexter Goad, of Carroll
county, great interest centering
in his testimony because’ of the
fact that it is one of the theories
of the defense that Goad was
responsible for the courtroom
tragedy at Hillsvilie, Va.

wide movement to petition'Presi
dent Taft to withdraw as the.Re-
publican presidential cahdidate
is being backed by a large num
ber of H.epublican‘ office -holders
who feel that they face defeat in
November unless the breach in
the party , can be healed.
These men include members
of Congress, members , of state
legislatures which will elect
senators, state and country office
holders and payty candidates.
If the movahient to peiition^Mr.
Taft to withdraw suceeds in
gaining ;it |s
that these sarne men i» tlie in-!
bferest of party harmony may ask
Colonel l^osevelt also to with
draw as a prospective candidate
for an independent nomination
and permit a compromise select
ion of some man agreeable to
both factions of the party. It is
the desire of the promoters of the
scheme that a d^cisidh shall be
reached before Au^st 5, when
the Roosevelt faction plans to
hold a convention it» Chicago. .
The circulation of petitions, it
was^ieclared today, would start
within, a week. It is said the
movement would begin spontan^
eously in every state. The or
ganizers are ^^low circulating
blank forms of petitions imd ap
pointing supervisors to solicit the
signatures of Republican voters.
The authors of the* plim expect
to offer to practically every Re-
publip^n voter in the 0nited
States a chance to express his
opinion of Mr. Taft-s candidacy
either by signing petitiOT' or re
jecting it.
The movemant is in the hands
of several well known membets
Of Congress. They are beiiig
aided by many of the extr^!^
Roosevelt Republicans. The eu-
listment of the national pro
gressive organization in the
movement has been sought and
it was stated today that Senator
Dixon's organ;ization was willing
to co-operate. ;; . .
Information that the petition^
w^ere to be put before the voters
leaked out today. No paHicular
person is authorized' .for the
statement and the members of
Congress conceirned were unwilU
ingto stand spdnsoi's for if until
the movement was underway.
The sponsors of the plan say
one of the first results would‘be
to let M r. Taft k no\v if there is
any'considei’abie of regular Re
publicans who believe that he
‘ puld step aside in the interest

A CONSPIRACY TO
SHOOT OP COURT
Wytheville, Va. July 5—Rapid
progress was made today in the
trial of Claude Allen, thirteen
witnessess being examined. The
bulk of testimony was of a nature
to show that there existed a con
spiracy on the part of the Allens
to shoot up Carroll county court.
Several witnesises testified as to
shreats made against: the court
previous to the tragedy, by Floyd
Allen, father of the defendant,
and who has already been found
guilty of first degree murder for
his part in the wholesale killing.
During the cross examination
of S. B. Weddle, it was brought
out that a short time before the
trouble at Hillsvilie. he had
.boughtan automatic revolver for
Clerk Dexter Goad, upon whom
the defense is trying to fasten re
sponsibility for the shooting.
Another witness was Goad's
deputy, W. C. Queensbury, and
on cross examination he stated
that he went into the court room
armed because he had previous
ly had trouble in the clerk’s office
with one of the Allens.
The undertaker who prepared
the dictims of the Allen' bullets
for burial described .the nature
of their woim'ds; and a civil en
gineer exhibited plans of the
court, room, at Hillsvilie showing
Vvhere bullets, had struck and the
direction from which they came.
Little was brought o;at ’ that
was not testified to at the; two
other trials. \
