Dallas, Texas, July 20.—Billy Sun-
day, the whirlwind evangelist, will
not be invited by the city commission
of Dallas to hold a revival here.
The commission was requested Wed-
nesday to unite with various organi-
zations and extend an invitation to
Sunday, but when Mayor Lindsley,
Commissioners Lang and Winfrey in-
dicated they would vote against ex-
tending such an Invitation, the request
which had been presented by Commis-
sioner Cason in the form of a letter
from W. C. Everett, was withdrawn.
Everett said in his letter that Sun-
day would attract hundreds of thou-
sands of people to Dallas and that Dal-
las would receive great advertisement
from his revival. Mayor Lindsley de-
clared that personally he didn’t be-
lieve the gymnastics of Sunday were
in any way associated with the reli-
gion of the lowly Nazarene.

St. Paul, Minn., Jtily 20.—Efforts to
effect the adoption of the resolution
committee’s draft of the platform
without first printing and distributing
it to the delegates precipitated the
first contention in the Prohlblton nat-
ional convenion day. While this was
being argued the convention recessed
until this afternoon, after a short
morning session.
An effort to inject an anti-Cathoiic
declaration into the platform caused
the resolutions committee to go into
executive session, while a bitter de-
bate raged.
