Extreme views on the wet and dry | question were presented by several East- ern States on the one hand and the solid South on the other, with some prospects that only the convention it- self could settle the issue. However, every effort will be made to compose the differences in the committee if that can be done. | Hope for Brief Platform.

Civil Service Plank. . The civil service plank was submit- ted by a committee composed of Thom- as P. Flaherty, secretary-treasurer of the National Pederation of Post Office Clerks; Edward J. Gainor, president of the National Association of Letter Car- riers; D. Duffy, treasurer of the Letter Carriers’ Association; John T.| Mugavin of Cincinnati, a member of the letter carriers’ committee, and Luther C. Steward, president of the National Federation of Federal Em- ployes, as follows: Government, on its own account and as an example, should be a model em- ployer. It should establish and main- tain high standards of employment. “Under a Democratic administration | the existing compensation for injury law was enacted, and also the retire- | ment law for Federal civil service em- ployes. | “Experience has fully demonstrated | the value of the retirement law, espe cially from the standpoint of impro ing the efficiency of the public service, and we favor its liberalization.” With Newton D. Baker, war-time Ser- retary of War, on the resolutions com- | mittee representing the Ohio delega- | tion it is anticipated that he will make 2 fight for a League of Nations plank. | The National Woman's Party pro- poses the following equal-rights plank: “The national Democratic party stands for e‘ual rights between men and women.

BY WALTER CHAMBLIN, Associated Press Staft Writer. | HOUSTON. June 26.—Three widely | iffering groups of Democrats turned | the national convention to fight out the position the party must take on the | prohibition issue. Unable to compose their views in many pre-convention conferences, each | | camp plunged into the fray with a de- | termination to battle to the end for |the cause with which their lot was cast. | Leaders of Factions. | On the one hand thert were the ultra- | drys under the leadership of Dan | Moody, the youthful Texas Governor, |and others lined up under dry banners | were such_buiwarks of Democracy as | Josephus Daniels of North Carolina, Secretary of the Navy in the Wilson cabinet; Senator Carter Glass of Vir- ginia, a former Secretary of the Treas- ury under Wilson, and a host of other party leaders. At the other extreme were the wets, insistent upon a plaform plank declar- ing in favor of some modification of the prohibition laws. They were found chiefly under the standard raised by Gov. Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland, a champion of States’ rights, who has taken the position that the 48 common- wealths should be given the power to settle the prohibition question for them- selves. | In between these two extremes wes a far larger group of self-styled conserva- | tives. intent upon the adoption of a | plank declaring for rigid enforcement | |of all laws, including the prohibition | statutes, but at the same time a plank that would not commit the party to an extreme position upon the one question | which above all others has threatened | |to disrupt the spirit of harmony that | as permeated the gathering here of | the Democratic hosts for the conven- tion opening today. - Aside from these three main divisions, | monious meeting, JUNE 26, 1928.° RITCHIE RECEIVES CAUCUS OVATION Governar’s Popularity Dem- o-strated in Meeting of Maryland Delegation. BY FRANK H. FULLER, Associated Press Staff Writer. HOUSTON, Tex., June 26.—In a har- in which the State’s support was unanimously pledged to Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York, the Maryland delegation to the Demo- | cratic national convention last night named Gov. Albert C. Ritchie chairman of the delegation and selected a full slate of officers and committee mem- bers. Applause rocked the hotel room when Gov. Ritchie’s name was suggested for chairman, and the secretary's attempt to have the motion formally entered for record was drowned out in the cheering. The smiling Maryland Gov- ernor acknowledged the tribute handed him by the delegates with a gracdful bow. Gov. Ritchie, who had the solid support of the Maryland group for President, then moved that the dele- gation support Gov. Smith, and ap- plause again resounded with such en- | thusiasm that delegates on the floor | outside stood around to see caused the cheering. United States Senator Willard E. —_— there were numerous minor groups, each with views of a tangentlike nature and each displaying ardent enthusiasm for their respective positions. This latter class included those who have declared that under no conditions would they support a wet candidate as well as those championing the outright repeal of the eighteenth amendment. Battle in Committee. But out of this vortex of conflicting opinions there came a positive current of Lhnught which was_epitomized late last night by Senator Edwards of New Jersey, an ardent wet, who said that the | battle should be fought out behind the closed doors of the resolutions commit- tee and not permitted to reach the con- vention floor. ‘Whether leaders would be able to hold the disagreel groups .under control, however, remained a question which no one was able to answer. Further, there was injected into the many-sided situation the influence of organized dry and wet organizations. The former have been an active element for several days in pre-convention pro- ceedings and have added a touch of | color to what has been going on. Under the leadership of representa- tives of 31 national dry organizations, the advocates of prohibition have held many meetings, several of them prayer services at which the leaders of their cause urged them to stand steadfast to the end. White badges inscribed with the bwief declaration “For dry candidate and platform’ ‘are plentifully displayed in Houston. Wets also have been busy Under the leadership of William H. Stayton, chairman of the board of the association against the prohibition amendment, the opponents of Volstead- ism early in the proceedings initiated a move in behalf of a plank proposing repeal of the eighteenth amendment, and have announced that the fight was one to a finish. of what | Tydings was named a member of the resolutions committee to draft a party platform, and will formally preserit Gov. Ritchie’s plank to make prohibition a matter of State's rights and refer it to individual States for action. Thi Maryland Governor, however, told the Associated Press he would appear be- fore the committee in person to argue in favor of his wet plank. Other ‘officers and committeemen elected were as follows: Enos Ray, chairman of the State central com- mittee, named member of the commit- tee on credentials; E. Brooke Lee, speaker of the Maryland House of Dele- gates, named member of the committee to notify the presidential nominee: E. O. Weantt, Carroll County, member of the rules committee; Henry P. Turney, Talbot County, member of the perma- nent organization committee; William P. Mitchell, State Senator, vice chair- man national convention: Willlam P. Lane, jr., Washington County, assist- ant secretary national convention, and Thomas H. Robinson, attorney general, honorary vice chairman delegation. Commodius Headquarters. Maryland occupied probably the most | commodious headquarters of any State | attending the convention. Signs showed the way to a large apartment on the messanine floor of the Rice Hotel, where pictures of the Maryland execu- tive and Gov. Smith of New York were much in evidence. Gov. Ritchie was there himself during a large part of the day and was visited by hundreds of friends in a never-ending stream. Among those visiting Maryland head- quarters were outstanding Democrats, who informed the Maryland governor that they regretted not having the op- portunity to cast their votes for him. He acknowledged the compliment and expressed the hope that delegates so expressing themselves would give like consideration to the candidacy of Gov. Smith. The State caucus was not held until |late in the afternoon and was over in a few minutes. The session was largely one of cheering and Willlam 8.

By the Associated Press. HOUSTON. June 26—S8ix Smith- instructed delegates to the Democratic national convention from the Canal Zone were placed on the temporary roll by the Democratic national committee yesterday, but another contest—one from Louisiana involvi 20 votes claimed by Smith—was referred to the convention’s cerdentials committee with- out_recommendation. The Louisiana fight was the most spectacular of the four contests brought before the committee, and gave mem- bers opposed to and in favor of Gov. Smith’s candidacy an opportunity to argue against each other. One of those who took a leading part in the fight against seating the Smith delegates from Louisiana was Senator Carter Glass, national committeeman for Virginia, who has been an avowed 0] ent of Smith. He characterized the selection of the regular slate from the Delta State, headed by Gov. Long and Senators Broussard and Ransdell, as “fraudulent, and by a usurpation of power.” In the opinion of many committee members who heard him, Senator Glass virtually conceded the ultimate nomi- nation of Gov. Smith when he spoke of the selection of the 20 Smith delegates. The controversy in Louisiana is over the action of the State central commit- tee in selecting 20 delegates and 20 alternates without calling a State con- vention, as had been the custom, the testimony brought out, for more than years. The contest was brought under leadership of Mrs. James M.
