Senator Walsh was asked whether the individual views of the party’s nominee might not be more important than any prohibition plank in the | i party platform. “If the wets have a candidate,” the Senator replied, well known as ion in the platform rom the standpoint “Is that quite clear to you?” he inquired. “You mean,” the reporter asked, “that if the candidate should be a wet it would be bone-headed for the party to be dry in its platform?” “Precisely,” Senator Walsh said. POf what value, except to make the party ridiculous, could a platform @declaration be, since the personal Views of a wet candidate would be controlling and, after all, that is what the people would be swayed by.” Issues Are Qutlined. “You do realize, however, that there are those who wish to have the wet-dry thing fought out to a finish in the Democratic convention,” it was puggested. “I am not unaware,” Senator Walsh @eclared, “that theré are men who, either from wholly ocmmendable Imotives or from obviously sinister de- pign, would like to have the Demo- cratic party rend itself over this guestion, but I am not persuaded that the party is going to do anything of llg; sort, for the reason I have just 2 “There is little excuse, if any, for can people on this, issue.” Assuming that the Democrats would not attempt to make prohibition an ssue or the issue in 1928, Senator Walsh was asked to outline what in bis opinion were questions of larger Importance to engage the talents of the party spokesmen. He said he had not the slightest hesitancy in doing that. He disclosed then his purpose to sponsor two im- portant inquiries during the next Congress. t Places Tariff First. Senator Walsh listed issues in the Pollowing words: “First. The tariff, with the very pbvious necessity for reform in that particular. “Second. Farmer relief, involving the working out of a practical plan to afford the farmers an equitable ppportunity. “Third. Political corruption, includ- Ing corruption of the electorate through expenditure of vast sums of money in congressional and senatorial Elections. “Fourth. The growing exactions of trusts and monopolies.” As the author of resolutions of in- quiry into the Aluminum Co. of America, and the prosecutor in the Teapot Dome and Doheny oil lease Inquiries, Senator Walsh was urged to outline his ideas on the fourth of his issues. attitude will, in | a | | SENATOR THOMAS J.
