HOOVER ADMINISTRATION LEADING ISSUE IN STATE Minority Party Expects to Regain House Seats Lost Two. Years Ago. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN, LOUISVILLE, Ky., October 17.—The senatorial race in the Blue Grass State this year is a “horse race.” There are plenty ready to bet on both sides. Democratic political leaders will sit down with paper and pencil and gliby prove that the State is going for their candidates by 59,000 or 60,000. On the other hand, Senator Robsion, the Republican nominee to succeed himself, is confident he will carry the State by not less than 50,000. More impar- tial observers will tell you that the contest is likely to ebb very close, and that no one really knows yet how it is going to wind up. Some of them add, however, that it is folly to found Sen- ator Robsion out of the running at this stage of the game. Depression, dought, hard times and unemployment have made their impres- sion on the voters here as well as in other States. Just how strong will be the protest vote registered against the party in power. no one is able to pre- dict with certainty.

The only delegntes to speak on the defeated resolutions were the authors. Arthur J. Beauregard of the Providence Central Federated Union, and Edward Flore of the Hotel and Restaurant Employes and Beverage Dis- pensers’ International Alliance. Flore protested that the delegates had been deprived by “the clever ma- neuvering of the Resolutions Commit- tee” of an opportunity to discuss the defeated resolutions. The first of the three propositions on prohibition to be submitted by the Resolutions Committee was the execu- tive council’s report recommending re- affirmation of its stand in favor of modification of the Volstead act to legalize 275 beer. The Resolutions Committee advocated its adoption and the delegates accepted the report with- out debate. ‘The Resolutions Committee also re- ported unfavorably the resolution spon- sored by Flore, urging repeal of the eighteenth amendment and “installa- tion by the States of a method of con- trolled and restricted distribution which will prevent the exploitation of the liquor traffic for unconscionable profits and not only do away with iling lpelk!:ll:; and secret dl‘ll but prevent the reappearance of any un- regulated system and the political in- iquities which accompanied it.” RETURN FLIGHT PLANNED BY COLUMBIA PILOTS Hop From Ireland to U. 8. ¥s Scheduled for First Week in November.
