Nbrth-Carolins, Mr. Hanly's Speech Accepting Nomination for President Indianapolis, Aug. 8. In Accepting the nomination o( the Prohibition par ty (or the presidency here today, Hon. J. Frank Haaly said: "Mr. Chairman and Members of the : "SDeaklnf as the duly authorized representative of the Prohibition Na- Uonal Convention, but recently oon- rened In the city of St. Paul, yon have formally notified me of my nomination by the Prohibition Party tor President , of the United States. : ' iou have couched your notice to xue in such generous and eloquent terms, and have performed your mis- km with inch delicate courtesy and Okindly good -will, that I cannot retrain from making grateful acknowledge' went to yon, and to each of you. "I accept the nomination, profoundly sensible of the great honor and the 'grave responsibility it. brings. Even ; though I shall not be called upon to administer the government, the issue urrojvea is oi sucn tremendous ana ' far reaching import, and the opportun ity for its advancement so unusual at this particular moment ot our history a a people, that it awes and humbles, ; ceiling for solemnity of thought, can dor ot speech and usefulness of action, oa the part of every citizen, and es . pecially so, upon the part of one upon . whom leadership affecting it is de volved. 4 Prohibition. "I have not hitherto affiliated with you In party action, but upon the one great issue which you tender the electorate of the nation as first n character and Insistency, and by which you have 1 stood with unwavering devotion for half a century, without hope of reward other than the ultimate triumph of the cause itself, I have long been with you. Church and 8Ute. "With your declaration 'for the ab solute separation ot church and state with the guarantee of full religious and civil liberty,' I am In complete accord. It voices the oldest and most persistent Ideal of the American peo ple. - "The Pilgrim Fathers, the Puritans of Massachusetts Bay, the Huguenots, the Quakers, the Baptists and the Scotch Covenanters all sought homes in the New World wilderness that they might have freedom to worship Cod each In his own way. Later, when the colonies became free and inde pendent states and were formulating A constitution, they took care that this great ideal should be nt Into the fun-! damental law, where "they hoped It should be forever secure. "I believe with them: - "In the absolute separation . of cbnrch and state.- That no religiocs organisation either the church of which I am a member, or any other should exer-, cine domination over the political ae- t'.oa ct I-"-y'.Vis.lt or f-rours of lad' vlduals. That no disabilities should be im posed and no privileges conferred upon any individual on account ot his religion. . "That the state should not only have toleration for 'every religion, but should protect and foster all. - "In the defense and preservation of those principles I Join with you in mutual and irrevocable commitment, initiative, Referendum and Recall, "There is in the platform one plank not reported by the committee on resolutions, but adopted by the con vention which I can neither approve nor accept; which I cannot defend in the campaign,; which, it elected, I would oppose; aud which, If brought to me as a proposed law, I would veto. I refer to the following: " 'We favor the Initiative, referendum and recall.' "My statement In regard to this is based upon the assumption that the declaration implies approval of the in itiative, referendum and recall in state and national affairs. "If so intended, I cannot yield it my assent. So applied I believe them to be subversive of representative "consti tutional government. "Wherever they have obtained they have wrought confusion and harm. where the initiative and referendum have been applied to the amendment of constitutions, they have made these solemn and organic charters liquid as water, and volatile' as oil. They will do the same to the Federal Constitu tion. AU threo are revolutionary, but not progressive. They are weapons of the bad oftener than they are the de fense ot good. In my judgment, nothing could be fraught with greater peril to state and national prohibition of the traffic in intoxicating liquors than the applica tion of these three principles to the state and national governments. Agriculture, 'Crave abuses have grown up through speculative trading in 'op tions,' or futures.' in grain and other commodities, wherein the products bargained for are neither received nor delivered, but settlement had without delivery by the payment of 'margins,' or 'differences,' and In connection with the Interstate shipment of both grata and cotton at terminal stations, and in the matter ot inspection. These. abases result in constant and substantial injury to the agricul tural interests of the country- "Honesty and fair dealing demand that they should cease. The remedies suggested by you in your plstfonn seem to be both just and adequate. J favor their adoption. Civil Service. There is in your pronouncement In regard to the civil service, no de claretlrta wbieh I do not accept and which I am not prepared to defend. Of this xny record as e public- official is a guarantee. In the ' four years of my administration as the governor of a great commonwealth, no man was removed from office for partisan rea sons. Though no civil service law was enacted, incumbents in all the State's institutions were retained throughout the administration wher ever they were honest and efficient. These honesty and efficiency were the sole requirements. ' "The extension of the merit sys tem to cover all postmasters, collec tors of revenue, marshals and other public officials, whose duties are purely administrative, would remove many grave and flagrant abuses from the Held of politics and insure a high er and more permanent condition of efficiency. , . Governmental Efficiency. "Duplication of departmental work and responsibility; antiquated and in efficient .systems of accounting, and questionable methods of legislation, have joined to create a waste in the administration oi the national gov ernment amounting to millions of dol lars every year--a waste which would not be tolerated or countenanced in fthe administration of any efficient or well-ordered private institution or corporation in the land. "The whole administrative machin ery of the government should be re vised by a board of non-partisan ex perts to the end that departmental duplication of work and responsibil ity may be minimised and an ade quate and efficient system ot super vision and accounting installed. "The suggestion in the platform that the budget system should be adopted and that the president should be given power to veto any item in the appropriation bill meets with my full approval. "There shotld be an end to the ex travagant and shameful misuse of public money in river and harbor and public building appropriations, by ex ecutive veto if necessary. Tariff and Reciprocity. "No inconsiderable portion- of the income ot the National ' Government is now derived and must continue to be derived from import duties. "In the levying of this revenue and in the making of schedules, knowl edgespecial, expert and accurate based upon scientific investigation and ascertainment, and not on parti san advantage, or the enhancement of the interests of great and powerful corporations and combinations, should be the basis of all tariff action. - "With this knowledge "1n "mind duties should be so laid and adjusted as to secure to American labor and American manufacturers such degree of protection as to equalise the dif ference in wages between the labor entering into any American commod ity and the labor entering Into any foreign commodity with which sack American commodity is compelled to compete. Somewhere between the extor tionate duties demanded by the ultra protectionists and those advocated by the revenue-only advocates, lies a safe and sane middle ground. Just to both producer ana consumer, - "This ground can only be ascertain ed by a tariff commission tree from partisan control and bias, composed of specialists, with substantial tenure for its members, and adequate and permanent provision for its mainten ance, and -clothed with power to ob tain Information concerning any and every schedule, to be laid before Congress and the country with such recommendations as in its judgment will conduce to the welfare of Ameri can industries and labor without im posing unfair burdens upon the peo ple. ,:;-." "For forty years you have favored woman suffrage. Tour attitude in re gard to it has been neither born of fesr nor forced upon you by party ex pediency. To you woman's - enfran chisement has been and is a measure of simple justice a thing she has a right to claim. On this I stand four square with you, and if given power we will not be satisfied to 'recom mend the extension of the franchise to her by States,' or to 'recognize the right of each Statesto settle the ques tion for itself,' but will by constitu tional amendment forbid any State to deny or abridge her right to vote be cause of her sex. The- enfranchise ment of the black man was estab lished by an amendment to the Fed eral Constitution. We will not be content with a less solemn guarantee to the women of the nation. "The good faith and moral integrity of a political party that declares in National Convention for woman's en franchisement by State action, and then in State Convention refuses to declare therefor, and by Sate leg islative action refuses to bestow the ballot upon her, may well be doubt ed. And such parties will have no just cause of complaint, If the wo men, In the States where they are enfranchised, refuse to reward their perfidy with support at the polls. Labor Social 'Justice Humanities. "The complexity of social fabric, the extent and magnitude of indus trial and commercial enterprise, the consideration of vast industrial and commercial Interests unprecedented in style and character, the increase of our population and its segregation into gigantic and congested centers. make necessary both State and Fed eral action in behalf of the social wel fare, that justice may be done to hu manity, its rights protected, its safety guaranteed, and its development as sured. I accept the program in this behalf announced in your platform. "There should be a living wage for all who toil; a working day not to exceed eight hours, with one day of rest in seven; compensation for indus trial accidents, minimum wage laws; prohibition of child labor; adoption of safety appliances, establishment ot sanitary conditions ot labor; decency. comfort ana ceaitn in toe employ ment ot superannuated and disabled employee ot the civil service; arbi tration ot the differences between capital and labor; just division of the wealth which labor and capital joint ly produce; conservation of the nat ural resources of the .country, and an efficient social policy based on the welfare of tht nation as a whole.

DROWNED AT GUILFORD BATTLE GROUND Greensboro, Aug. 9. James H. Cook, a prominent insurance agent and in the last municipal election contender for the mayoralty of Greens Doro, died in Wlifong pond, at the Battle Ground, late yesterday after- nooon. ,-whether the death was from drowning or other cases was doubtful. me opinion prevailing that he was a vicum oi a weaK nean, and never took enough water into his lungs to really cause drowning. Color was lent to this theory by the fact that the body apparently never sank and only a comparatively small amount of wa ter was pumped from the lunes attar me Boay was removed from the lake. There was a desperate. persistant effort made to revive Mr. Cook with the pulmotor, hurried to the Rattin around by employes of the North Car olina Public Service company, which owns the instrument. Three tanks of oxygen were used to pump Into his lungs but the heart had stopped and long before those engaged in tha n. plication of the pulmotor ceased their work. Dr. F. C. Hyatt pronounced Mr. Cook dead and beyond hope of resus citation. It was.stated that the pro fessional opinion held to the theory that the heart had tailed before drowning had happened, and therefore the pulmotor, which might have prov ed effective in an ordinary drowning case, could not serve to bring life jn mis. rne death about 6:30. occurred WAR ODDITIES.

The flag flies free over toe door of an American hospital where pretty American girls and able Amer ican doctors care for Russian sick and wounded. . The hospital is at Khoy, 46 miles south of Julfa on the frontier between Russia and Persia. To the northwest of Khoy the icytdome ot Mount Ararat stands lined against the skyline, 17.- 000 feet high, or nearly 2,000 feet higher than Mount Blanc. Here Noah's Ark is supposed to have rested after the flood. To the southwest of Khoy lie the slopes where Abraham and Isaac tend ed their flocks. There too is the scene of the most famous ot all fam ous crime, the murder of Abel by his brother Cain. There is no railroad from Julfa to Khoy and the dirt road is very bad. It takes four horses to pull a carriage At first the way lies in a desert with barren mountains on both sides but gradually, as one approaches Kaon the terrain smoothes itself out and richer soil, aided by irrigation, gives vegetation a chance, and here one still sees droves of sheep grazing Just as they did in the days when Abra ham begat Isaac. In a valley ot orchards and car. dens lies Khoy, surrounded by its mud walls. Low mud houses along narrow, crooked streets surrounding gayly decorated and colorful bazaars which form the center of the Dlace. compose the city, while Just outside is the conspicuous building of the Rus sian Consul Opposite this is the American hosDital with lt Yanir.. flag flying, a building long, broad tad squat.
