VATKINS, PROHIBITION CANDIDATE, DENIES OFFER TO WITHDRAW

CINCINNATI, O.. Sept. 28. The Rev. Aaron S. Watkins, Prohibition candidate for President, Sunday night denied the report that offers had been )nade by the Prohibition party to the Republican and Democratic presidential nominees of his withdrawal if ither Governor Cox or Senator Hard

in?? would announce an intention to enforce and not to seek to weaken the

VolBtead law. "I am going to run for President,'

he said, "regardless of the stand of

Republicans or Democrats."

The Rev. Mr. Watkins, who has Just

returned from a- Prohibition conven

tlon in Washington, said the world

never will run smoothly until alcohol

ism has been completely abolished.

There was a large attendance at

the Linwood Methodist Episcopal Church, today, when the Rev. Mr.

Watkins, as newly appointed pastor of

the church, preached his first sermon. An Associated Press dispatch from WshJnrtnsi last Wednesday declared

that "Senator Harding and Governor Cox, Republican and Democratic presidential nominees respectively, were promised today by Aaron S. Watkins, the Prohibition party's candidate, that he would withdraw from the race if either of them pledged his support to the dry program." "Mr. Watkins's announcement was

made in an address before the Interna- j

tlonal Congress Against Aiconousm, the dispatch continued. "He said later that he would embody his proposal in telegrams to candidates Harding and Cox. "I ask only two things of the old candidates," Mr. Watkins told the congress. 'Whenever either one of them pledges himself to enforce the eighteenth amendment and enforce the Volstead act, if elected, and to use all of his power and influence to retain them as part of the nation's law, I will agree to ask our national committee to release me from the ticket.'

ASSIMILATION (Continued From Page One.) pation of legion men, as members of the organization, in labor disputes; planning of membership drives to raise the present membership, and adoption of a "ritual" for initiation into the legion. Parade Precedent Missouri delegates have prepared a resolution suggesting that the Cleveland parade be regarded as a precedent to be maintained and if possible surpassed at all future conventions. The resolution urges each delegate to take with him to the convention city as guests as many legionnaires as possible and that each delegate, alternate and guest bring his uniform to insure a spectacular parade turnout. Today's convention program includes the presentation of General Marie Emile Fayolle, personal representative of the French government and Admiral Sir William Lowther Grant, Great Britain's representative. General Fayolle was to have reached here vesterday. for the parade, but his steamship had been held up outside New York harbor by an unusually heavy fog. Two Candidates Left With the withdrawal of Milton J. Foreman, of Chicago, and Emme.tt O'Neil of Kentucky, from the race for the national commandership last nicrht. onlv two formidable candidates were in the field when today's convention opened. Following caucuses it was said that the New England delegations and reveral southern and Rocky Mountain states had definitely endorsed F. J. Galbraith, of Cincinnati. The claim is made that the Southerners will throw their support to Hamilton McVider of Mason City, lacarrying with them the western states. The McVider forces claimed they would receive the support of at least 23 states, but reports of splits bringing new territory to the Galbraith ranks were frequently heard. Variety of Resolutions There was such a variety of resolutions before the resolutions committee that it was regarded as certain their report would be the last to be made public. More than 500 resolutions on all subjects had been given the committee to consider and report on or refer to such other committees as they deemed advisable. The committee on departmental divisions was prepared to recommend that the constitution be amended and

six departments be created, five In the United States and one in Europe, and that Instead of the five vice commanders elected at large, as at present, a vice-commander be placed over each of the six departments. The Central department under this plan would Include: Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, North and South Dakota. Favor Action. The resolution favoring immediate action by the United States senate on the four-fold compensation plan received the approval of the committee on adjusted compensation, but minor amendments were advocated. Nearly 80 per cent of the legion are strongly in favor of the resolution, it was said. The house of representatives already has acted favorably on the plan. The committee on soldiers' disability and insurance considered the advisability of placing the war risk bureau, public health service and federal board for vocational training under the supervision of a separate cabinet officer. The heads of these bureaus were present at the committee's session.

As it is' the ambition of every -woman to dres3 well, we know that right now you are wondering just what the New Fall Clothing will display in the way of style and materials. Following are a few characteristics displayed in all early Fall clothing. The straight silhouette is popular both for day and evening wear. The skirts are shorter, while the length of coats and suit coats vary. The suit coats are either semi-fitting and are three-quarter length or short box style, while the heavier coats which are of pile fabrics are either long, three-quarters or short. Poiret Twill, Tricotine and Duvetyn are the most popular fabrics used in the suits or heavy dresses, while satin is the leading silk material for silk dresses. Embroidery work of floss, wool or beads is more popular than ever for dress trimming, with the Oriental influence very apparent. Fur is going to be used more than ever for coats and trimming on suits. These few ideas we are sure will make the women of Richmond take more than usual interest in the display that we have for your inspection.
