An intensely interested audience, Tepresenting every type of thought and opinion in the party, heard him. The meeting previously had greeted with cheers his assertion he did not intend to ask the committee to com- mit itself on questions of policy. Absent at the morning session, Al- fred E. Smith, the party’s nominee for president in 1928, attended after lunch. He was cheered as he took a place on the platform.. He was ac- companied by James M. Cox, the presidential nominee in 1920. The enthusiastic gathering also plauded a statement by Jouett Shouse, executive director of the na- tional committee, that the party ganization would sponsor no indi- vidual candidacies for the presidency. Without asking the committee it- self, Raskob urged the Democratic party to sponsor a substitute for the Prohibition amendment giving the states full control over sale and-man- ufacture of Hquor. “My: recommendation is,” he said to a tensely interested audience, “that the 18th amendment be not re- Ppealed but that a new amendment be New Delhi, India, March 5.—(/?)— | Substituted, providing that nothing The text of the peace pact between | in the 18th amendment shall prevent Mahatma Gandhi and the Viceroy of | any state from directing and con- India, ending the nationalist civil | trolling, without federal jnterference, disobedience campaign, was made|the manufacture and sale of liquor public here Thursday and placed be- | Within its borders; provided that the fore the British parliament in Lon-| Plan first be submitted to the people don and the council of the govern- | Of that state and approved by astate- ment of India as a basis for negotia- | Wide referendum. tions to be continued af a new round) “I also would provide that the table conference. arnensinens caret be atiestiye ‘The Mahatma, addressing newspa- | unless until it shall have n per correspondents, after the text had ratified not by the legislatures but been distributed, addressed an appeal | by constitutional conventions.” to his countrymen to support the| Raskob reiterated his recommenda- agreement and give him a chance to|tion that “this committee suggest attain his goal of independence| and advise that the next political without violence. sonmentcn paca contain a plank ‘The cf) wisions of the rel e amendment but Ps Ee cee oe with a new amendment which will (@) Abandonment of the civil dis-| permit any state to direct and con- obedience campaign. trol the manufacture, transportation, (2) Abandonment of the boycott | and sale of liquor provided the people as @ political weapon. me sonvensions in prea arg of (3) Release of prisoners held for states ratify amendment.” non-violent. offenses. “This plan,” the chairman said, “prevents the return of the saloon.” WICKERSHAM GROUP IS ALMOST ‘BROKE’ Abandonment of Offices and Re- lease of Clerks Certainty for July 1 . , esots, above, was nominated by President Hoover to be minister to the Netherlands.

Established in 1903, the trolley oper- ated until last Saturday when it was: discontinued by the board of admin- istration because of lack of funds. The board placed before the legisla- ture a report showing that funds were necessary if operation of the trolley was to continue but no steps were taken to provide operating ex- Penses. Introduced by Representatives Hamilton of Nelson, and Helbling of Morton, the bill previously had passed the house. Senator Lynn Sperry, Burleigh county, declared that no appropria- tion had been provided for running the line which operated at a deficit, although a fare of five cents was charged for each ride. Senator Sperry suggested that, when the new capitol building is con- structed, the state provide a bus line to give legislators free transportatton to the statehduse. For several years the street car line had been involved in litigation as a result of the efforts of property own- ers- living along the line te have it abolished. An attempt was also made by the city to have the state pave the street between the tracks, but the state refused to do’ this, except for some paving in the downtown district. Franchise Had Expired The trolley was operated without a franchise since 1923. Court action| against was instituted to have the line abol- ished on the grounds that the city had not granted a franchise. But the courts held that the line, because tt is state owned, could operate without Permission from the city. The vote on the measure was alonz party lines, with the exception of Senators Hoople and Sathre, Nonpar- tisans, who voted with the I. V. A’s for abolishing the trolley, and Sen- ator Gronvold, I. V.
