and service station men, who organ
ized this noon at a meeting at the

mobile association, will purchase a
car of motor fuel, and may endeavor

the initial meeting. W. G. Coombs,
president of the association, will at
tend the first meeting of the State
Auto Dealers' association In Port

the purpose of obtaining relief from
present conditions. He will at that

TIL FORMAL ACCEPTANCE,
GRIEVES DRY LEADER.
CHICAGO. June IT. "Senator
Harding declines to discuss any is
sues until he makes formal accept
ance in, July." This was the tele
gram received by Virgil Hinshaw,
chairman of the national prohibition
committee, in reply to his request
for a statement from the republican
nominee showing his stand on the
liquor question.
The prohibition party, disappoint
ed in tho nomination of Senator
Harding nt the republican national
convention, and by rebuffs alleged
to have been given its representa
tives at thut time, are planning for
a presidential ticket, Hinshaw de
clared here today.
Little hope is held that the demo
crats will put up a 100 per cent pro
hibition ticket, Hinshaw said. "We
want, something more than a can
didate," he declared. "We want a
dry plank and a dry ticket."
Republicans, the dry leader charg
ed, have "ducked" the issue.

years. '
Cheers shook the convention ball
when the vote was announced.
Miners and railroad workers com
bined to effect Compere defeat.
Gompers fought hard to kill the reso
lution, personally taking the floor
Just before the vote. He received
no applause. The Gompers faction, '
early In the fight, raised the cry of
"socialization of American Indus-
