- YOTE N KENTUCKY “TESTS PROHBIION Dry Law Is Keynote of Race for Governor—Colorado Faces Fiery Fight. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE, November will witness two State election test votes on prohibition. Their results will be watched by poli- ticlans of both parties as indicating which way the 1928 presidential wind s likely to blow. Both elections will be in States ranked as doubtful in national campaigns, and liquor is the paramount issue in each of them. Kentucky, on November 8, will elect & new governor. November 15, Colo- rado, In its largest voting constituency —the capital city of Denver—will vote for a member of the House of Repre- mentatives at a special election called to fill the vacancy created by the death of the late Willlam Newell Vaile, Republican. How party lines are split and criss- erossed by prohibition is _typified graphically by the Kentucky and Colorado contests. In the Biue Grass State the Democrats have nominated former Senator John C. W. Beckham for governor. He is an uncompromis- ing dry, end his other “moral issue” 1s bitter opposition to “the race track ecrowd,” long a potent factor in Ken- tucky politics. The Republican nomi- nee for governor, former Chief Justice ¥lem D. Sampson, is wet and pro- race track. ‘Winner in Doubt. The contest is red hot, and the win- mer at this hour is in complete doubt. If Beckham conquers, his friends are already talking about his eligibility for the Democratic presidential nomina- tion. That will make two Democratic white and dry hopes from the com- monwealth of beauty, horses and bourbon, for Senator-elect Alben W. Barkley has a lightning rod ready to unlimber. A In Colorado it's the Republicans who are on the dry side. They have nominated Finley Macfarland, prohi- bitionist, for the Denver congressional seat, while the Democratic candidate, former Chief Justice S. Harrison ‘White, is a wet. Judge White was nominated on a wringing moist plat- form, which calls for repeal of the Volstead law and was adopted at a convention by an overwhelming vote of nearly 4 to 1. If the Democratic wets win the Denver election, it's altogether likely Colorado will send an Al Smith delegation to the national eonvention. If the drys triumph, Colorado Demo- erats are reported all set to adopt Huston Thompson, former chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, now practicing law in Denver and Washington, as the Silver State’s fa- vorite son. Thompson is a Protes. tant, a progressive and a dry. The Denver district is ordinarily Repub- lican by 10,000, but it went wet in the 1926 election (on a prohibition referen- dum issue) by 3,600. “Real Smith Menace.” One of the prominent members of the Coolidge administration who is a factor in the politics of a big Eastern State described to this writer during the recent week end what he calls *the real Al Smith menace.” This is how he thought out loud: = ““The common theory is that the Re- publicans must nominate a man sure to keep Al Smith from carrying New York State. That is not the peril in & Smith nomination. The danger is that Smith is likely to poll the bi- partisan and non-partisan vote among men and women who are opposed to prohibition. This is what I call ‘the revolt vote’ It isn't a sopping wet vote. I rather the vote of people who believe in modified prohibition, be- cause they have come to the conclu- sion that Volsteadism, undefiled, is unenforceable. “Smith, even if elected President, could not wipe out the Volstead act or repeal the eighteenth amendment. ‘That isn't the practical political aspect of a Smith candidacy from the Re- publicant standpoint. ‘The practical phase is that Smith would personify the wet or modificationist argument, and every Republican politician worthy of the name knows that the governor would command enormous support on that account alone. “It would be a futile support, if you please, as far as the ‘thirst vote’ is concerned, but it would be a pro- test support, the dimensions of which Republican managers cannot afford to underestimate. To gauge the size of that vote is their chief problem.” HOLY NAME SOCIETY PLANS CELEBRATION Tocal Group to Mark Anniversary of New Feast Sunday, The quarterly meeting of the Wash. ington section of the Archdlocesan Union of the Holy Name Society was held last evening in Assumption Hall, | at Nichols avenue and Portland street | southeast, with delegates from 84| parishes in attendance. | President Cornelius Ford announced | details of the celebration to be held Funday evening at 8 o'clock in the | crypt of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, on the grounds of Catholic University, to mark the first anni. versary of the new feast of Christ, which was_established last year by Pope Plus XI. Mgr. P. C. Gavan, pas- tor of the Shrine of the Sacred Heart, and spiritual director of the Washing- ton section, will officiate at the solemn benediction of the blessed sacrament, which will conclude the services. He will be assisted by Rev. Joseph Ken- nedy of St. Joseph's, as deacon and by Rev. Edward Nestor of Holy Com- forter, as subdeacon. The sermon will be preached by Rev. Edward G. Fitz- gerald of the Dominican House of Studies. The delegates voted to hold a demon- stration next October, but no decision ‘was reached as to the form, which will be considered at later meetings, Short talks were made by several of the new spiritual directors of the vari- ous branches. The delegates accepted the invitation of Rev. J. A. Carey, pastor of St. Jerome's Church in Hyattsville, to hold the annual meet- ing in January at Hyattsbille, and gave a vote of thanks to Rev. Wil- ¥am J. Carroll and the men of the Church of the Assumption for the use ot their hall and for the entertainment. RUTH ELDER.IS STUDIOUS ON VOYAGE TO LISBON | By the Associated Press. 8. 8. LIMA, October 25.—Ruth Elder has become somewhat of & studious personage on the last lap of her voy- ege from Horto, Azores, to Lishon. Besides having a long session yes- terday with George W. Haldeman, co- pilot on the flight of the American Girl, studying charts supplied by Capt. Pinto of the Lima, with an important bearing on the proposed renewal of her transatlantic attempt next Spring, Miss Elder “spent most of today in her cabin doing more studying. To break the routine, she went to the officers' bridge later for some exercise and fresh alr, and at dinner time seemed much refreshed. The Lima was expected to arrive Lisbon S . k.

(Covyrizht. 1027.) o NATHALIA CRANE WINS $500 FOR LINDY POEM Brooklyn Schoolgirl, 14, Tops Field in World-Wide Contest. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 25.—Nathalia Crane, a 14-year-old Brooklyn school- girl, whose poem, “The Janitor's Boy,” aroused a controversy a year ago, was announced yesterday as the winner of the $500 prize offered by Mitchell Kennerly for the best poem on Lindbergh's flight to Paris, Her 60 lines of swinging verse, en- titled, “Wings of Lead,” were ad- judged the best from 3,000 contest- ants from every State in the Union from Canada, England, France, Ger- many, Italy, and even Monaco, A second prize of $250 was awarded to Thomas Hornsby Ferril of Denver, Colo., for his poem, “The Arrow of Acestes.” Miss Crane'’s tribute to Lindbergh is after the Kipling manner, a nar. rative of the flight, a picture first of the gods looking down on a dull world and deciding to stimulate it to_extraordinary achievement. Explaining her title to the verse, Miss Crane said: “Why, ‘Wings of Lead’_signify the impossible. You see, Lindbergh just came in un- known and saild he would do it, and every one said ‘Ridiculous, impossi- ble:’ Then he did it; he did the im- possible.” Due to war conditions in China, tea drinkers of Turkey are quaffing Japa- nese rather than Chinese tea.
