THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1982 8 calf CURTIS IS FAVORED BY METHODISTS AS ONE DRY CANDIDATE Church Board Terms President) Hoover's Stand as ‘Bit- terly Disappointing’ Washington, Aug. 24—(?)—Term- ing Vice President Curtis the only candidate to whom “commendation can be given,” the Methodist board of temperance prohibition and pub- lic morals Wednesday said “It would be idle to deny” that President Hoover's proposal for a change in the prohibition laws had been “bit- terly disappointing.” These assertions issued in a formal} statement followed by a few hours a ptonouncement from Dr. Daniel A. Poling, chairman of the Allied Forces for Prohibition, reaffirming endorse- ment by his group's executive com- mittee of the chief executive and predicting his reelection. The Methodist board’s statement said American prohibitionists “will certainly strive to secure the defeat of any congressman who votes to de- stroy the 18th amendment by the enactment of legislation authorizing the manufacture and sale of beer or other intoxicating beverages.” In speaking of its disappointment at Hoover's declaration for state determination of the solution of the prohibition problem, with guaran- ties in the federal constitution against the return of the saloon, the Methodist board said this feeling was particularly acute when “it is remem- bered with what utter devotion the Democratic and Republican support- ers of Hoover served his cause in 1928. “Hundreds of them suffered abuse, many of them ostracism and some of them prosecution,” it added. “It must have been with a heavy heart that the president turned from these loyal friends and struck hands with their enemies and the enemies of the 18th amendment. “Those who so advised him did a a | Weather Report FORECASTS For Bismarck and vicinity: Partly cloudy and somewhat cooler tonight; Thursday general- ly fair.

They could consider the fact that gain was the apparent motive for the crime and that the defendant was the principal beneficiary. They could consider the fact that in accounting for the disappearance of the Haven family to various persons this defend- ant assumed the role of an actor in the events leading to that result. Cculd Consider Veracity “They could consider the fact of his departure from the community when serious public concern as to the}* disappearance of the Haven family became manifest. The adequacy of the defendant's explanation of all of these circumstances was a question for the, jury to consider in the light of the evidence which raised an issue of veracity between the defendant and the various witnesses, both as to |e presence on the Haven farm on February 10 and as to his statements yprior to February 19, 1930.
