Element Opposed to Him Is in Control of Convention. Indianapolis, June 28. The national prohibition convention completed Its organisation today and adjourned until tomorrow morning. The new national committee was selected at state meet ings and organised by re-electing Oliver W. Stewart of Chlcngo chair man and J. M. Tate of Harrtman Tenn. secretary. The Miles meeting this evening was attended by 400 delegates and was en thuHlustlc. The anti-Miles following, which seems to have a majority of the delegates, has not agreed on a candl- jdate. Officers of the national commit I tee said today a majority of the com Jmlttee believed that the nomination of I Miles would be fatal to the party, as he was a democrat and would not con trol the entire party vote, and that those opposed to him would fight his nomination to the last. That portion of the platform agreed on so far holds the liquor question to be the most important issue. It as serts there is no . Issue between the democratic and republican parties over which to wrangle for offices. One plank pledges reform In the divorce laws and extermination of polygamy. YALE THE FAVORITE.
