A4 DEMOGRAT PLEDGE { FIGHT IS RENEWED ‘Jexas Dry Leader Files Suit for Acceptance of Un- pledged Votes. By the Assoclated Press. DALLAS, Tex., April 2—Democratit drys of Texas, credited with throwing the Lone Star State to Hoover in 1928 as a protest against Al Smith's wetness, today renewed an old fight to obtain control of the State political ma- chinery Thomas B. Love of Dallas, former State Senator, who led the dry bolters in 1928, petitioned in District Court for a writ of mandamus against precinct officers which would force them to ad- mit qualified Democratic voters to the aries without requiring a pledge of | party loyalty. Protest Is Unavailing. Love protested unavailingly several ‘weeks ago when the Democratic State Executive Committee ordered that pre- cinct voters must accept a pledge to support the Democratic nominee fcw President and Vice President by voting for the Democratic presidential electors of Texas. Democratic “regular” leaders looked askance upon the court attack, as they had hoped to harmonize party factions and send a delegation to the Chicago National Convention pledged to support Speaker John Garner for President. Roosevelt-for-President and Traylor- for-President leaders already had indi- cated they would join in the movement. Successful in 1928, Love was successful in a similar at- tack upon the party loyalty pledge in 1928, when he obtained a writ of man- damus from the State Supreme Court, ordring the State Executive Committee to certify his name on the ballot as a candidate for Governor. Certifica- tion was granted, although he would mot support the presidential candidacy of Al Smith. In his petition today Love asserted the State Executive Committee had no suthority under the State election laws to require such a pledge. COURT REINSTATES LOUISIANA STUDENT Youth Expelled for News Dispatch About Campus Strike Wins, Appeal Is Planned. By the Associated Press. NATCHITOCHES, La., April 2—The court intervened today in the expulsion of a youth from Louisana State Normal College for telling a newspaper about a student strike and ordered President W. W. Tison to reinstate him. The order was issued in settling a mandamus suit brought by Willlam J. Dodd against President Tison with re- instatement as its objective. The youth maintained he violated no rule in giving out the story but Tison countered with the contention Dodd ‘was responsible for the publication of a dispatch that pictured the president as relenting in the face of threats from students to go on' strike from classes unless he alldwed them to observe Easter Monday as a holiday. ‘Testimony divulged the students later ‘withdrew thefy ultimatum and apolo- gized. Claims of Dodd's undue familiarity with President Tison had a prominent place in the testiinony. Defense wit- nesses said the youth patted the edu- cator on the back in ‘“contemptuous familiarity” and addpessed him as i ed regarding | “W. W while thy plied his ler was merely | *“a friendly gesture.r” - N Tison's counsel sald the case would e appealed to the State Supreme Court.

Tableau Representing Spirit of ’76 a Feature of An- nual Dinner. A note of warning regarding the con- tinued trend toward centralization of government in the United States was struck by Associate Justice D. Lawrence Groner in an address last night before the District of Columbia Bar Associa- tion at its annual dinner in compliment to the justices of the Court of Appeals and Supreme Court of the District of Columbia at the Mayflower Hotel. Speaking of the changes of point of view on the -part of the people and po- litical parties, he said that in the last quarter of a century the Government of the United States, which had formerly confined its activities to foreign affairs and protection of the country’s border: fts currency and post offices had no extended its authority into every sec- tion and into every field. As a result, he said, there is an increasing army of officeholders, spread through the whole couniry and a situation is now develop- ing in the United States akin to that denounced by Sir John Culpeper in his arraignment of the misgovernment of Charles I, where aking of the agen- cles of that government Culpeper said: “They sup in our cup and dip in our dish and sit fires, and, like the frogs of Egypt ey have got possession of our dwellings and we have scarcely a room left for them.™ Gradual Spread of Laws. He instanced the power now exercised in the absolute control of commerce through the Interstate Commerce Com- mission, indicating that many thought- ful people, looking into the future, saw the ownership of these instrumentali- ties, the railroads, by the Government as inevitable; business and manufacture through the Federal Trade Commission; the money of the country through the banking act, and he referred briefly to other recent legislation seeking to con- trol the narcotic evil, the white slave commerce, the larceny of interstate gukagu and automobiles, and a num- er of other similar laws as illustrating the extent to which the Federal Gov- ernment had gone and the surrender of duties and rights which the States had formerly discharged. All of these things he said indicated tendency to increase and grow, and while much if not all of the legislation which he mcationed was necessary and proper, and ihile no one, he said, would dispute the proposition that the implied powers granted under the Constitution to the Federal Government should, in the advance of civilization be extended far beyond the dream of the makers of the Constitution, that the danger in the tendency grew out of the fact that each advance step tended to make the next advance step the easier until, un- less checked, the balance provided in the Pederal Constitution between State and Pederal Governments would be wholly lost, and the dual system of gov- ernment, which through home rule had had so much to do in creating internal harmony and progress would be totally destroyed. Flags in Decorations. ‘The ball room of the Mayflower Hotel was decorated with the national colors and State flags. At each table in lieu of flowers small American flags formed the decorative feature. The program and the decorgtions were devised as part of the 1 scheme for the celehration by the lawyers of the Wash-~ ington Bicentennial. Frank J. Hogan, president of the Bar Association, who presided as toast- ter was introduced by Joseph A. Burkart, chairman of the Dinner Com- mittee. The opening feature was a tableau representing the “Spirit of '76.” On the Mayflower stage were the three figures in the famous painting, consist- ing of two drummers and a fifer por- trayed by John D. Fitzgerald, William H. Labofish and Daniel S. Ring, all members of the Bar Association. A spotlight played on the figures, a breeze stirred the large American flag in the background and the orchestra rendered the t verse of “The Star Spangled Banner,” which was sung in chorus by the-assembled guests. The entertainment program, which Wwas under direction of Henry I. Quinn, included a monclogue by William J. McNally, a solo by Edwin H. Steffe, ac- companied by Robert Gotta; songs by Matt Horne and George O’'Connor, read- ing by Thomas W. Brahany, a recital by Edward J. Walsh and & vocal musi- ;‘:] xarog‘r&m by Fred East and Bill Ray- ond.

The Board of Strategy's circular di- rectly admonishes Republican and Democratic leaders, urges drys to work for friendly convention delegates, and emphasizes the effect which a hostile President might have on prohibition. Explaining it_will ask both political parties to nominate candidates “com- mitted to effective enforcement,” and to include in its platform “clear-cut, un- equivocal declarations pledging the sup- port of the party and its nominees to vigorous and_effective enforcement of the eighteenth amendment,” the eircu- lar continues: “A statistical analyst has proven that taking the average elections over the country the ‘wets’ have the best chance to win when less than 50. per cent of the qualified voters—a greater per cent in some States and less in some others—register their vote. This emphasizes the urgent need for ‘drys’ to make a point of voting in all in- stances where delegates to the national conventions are chosen by preferential primary.” Effects of “Wet"” President. Democrats were told by the circular that their 1928 candidate, Gov. Smith, “repudiated the party declaration and openly advocated the repeal of prohibi- tion" and “got the electoral vote of only eigh* ~.ales.” Republicans were asked to 1 .all “numerous State contests in which ‘dry’ Republicans refused to support the party candidate because of his known wetness.” The board added it is “convinced that nationally the great body of ‘dry’ Re- publicans would feel impelled to adopt this course if the convention should be misled by wet sophistry.” “One aspirant for the presidency re- cently states publicly ‘the President can't repeal prohibiltion,'” the circular sald. “That is & fact, but the Presi- dent's powers over the matter are great. ‘Through his message to Congress mak- ing recommendations relating to legis- lation: through appointments to high positions; through patronage at his dis- posal; and in a great degree through personal example, a ‘wet’ President could so disorganize the public service as to bring about a condition of chaos.” REPORTS OF PACT DENIED BY SMITH Wisconsin and Minnesota Leaders Told He Has No Agreement or Withdrawal Plans. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 2.—Former Gov. Alfred E. Smith y sent telegrams to Democrats in Wisconsin and Minne- sota denying there is any sort of pact between himself and any other candi- date for the Democratic presidential nomination or that he will withdraw his name before the ning of the na- tional convention in Chicago. ‘The telegrams were in reply to a let- ter he sald he had received from How- ard E.

Franklin D. Roosevelt " | whereby in return for his support at the convention he was w receive a cabinet appointment. Statements Called False. The telegrams, addressed to Doran and to John F. Calahan of Milwaukee, member of the Democratic National Committee, read as follows: “Statements appearing in the Wis- consin and Minnesota press that there is any understanding between me and any other candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, or that I will withdraw my name prior to the conven- tion are false. Such statements imply a disloyalty to my friends and support- ers, which I resent.” Clipping Sent in Letter. Doran inclosed with his letter, per- sons close to the former Governor said, clipping from a Duluth newspaper re- porting a speech made early this week in Fond Du Lac, Wis, by F. Ryan Duffy, candidate for delegate at large to_the Democratic national convention. In substance, Dufty was quoted as saying it was understood Smith would withdraw his name prior to the conven- tion.

House wet bloc leaders are at odds over whether they should press their plan to force & vote on a bill to legal- ize and tax 2.75 per cent beer. Before the tax bill came up, they | had intended to follow a course similar | to that which brought rejection by a 227-to-187 vote of a proposed new eighteenth amendment to establish State liquor control. presentative Britten (Republican, Ilinois) sald yesterday he disagreed with other wet bloc leaders who think they might harm their cause on a beer bill by obtaining less than the 187 votes mtlin favor of the resubmission pro- posal. Sees Bill's Deficiency. “Sooner or later, we will find that the tax bill we passed Priday will not give us enough revenue to balance the budget,” Britten said. “I think that in the mean- time the reasonable, sound-thinking members of Congress should keep the question alive, “Then, when the time comes, we will have a better chance of legalizing beer | and putting $500,000,000 to $600,000,000 | into the Treasury every year by taxing beer 3 or 4 cents a pint.” Representative O’Connor of New York, a Democratic anti-prohibition bloc lead- er and co-author of the beer bill with Britten, said he would ask that the Republican and Democratic wet group executive committees meet soon to de- cide how to proceed. Wets None Too Hopeful Next Thursday the O'Connor-Hull bill will have been on file with the ‘Ways and Means Committee long enough for a petition to be filed demanding that the measure be taken away from | it. Some wet bloc leaders are not too hopeful of their chances of obtaining the 145 signatures necessary on a peti- tion to force a record vote. These anti-prohfbitionists point out that the beer amendment to the tax bill was rejected by a vote of 216 to 132. While prohibitionists got only 11 Jess than on the resubmission proposal, the wets were 45 short of the record- making 187.

SCIENTIST BELIEVES FAWCETT IS DEAD Says His Inquiries Indicated Ex- plorer Was Far From Place He Was Reported Seen. By the Assoclated Press. PHILADELPHIA, April 2—Vincenzo Petrullo, research associate in anthro- pology at the University of Pennsyl- vania Museum, today expressed the opinion that Col. P. H. Fawcett, Brit- ish explorer, regently reported alive in the jungles of Brazil, is dead. Petrullo was a member of an expe- dition to the interior of Brazil, which recently returned here, but made no ublic mention of his opinion because t had been generally accepted that the British explorer, who went into the jungle seven years ago to seek what he believed was the original Garden of Eden, was dead. However, when he heard of the re- ports from Brazil that Stephan Rattin, a Swiss trapper, had seen Fawcett held a captive by natives, he searched his notes in which he had entered inci- dents told him by natives. Petrullo sald that the information he gleaned from the natives indicated to him that Fawcett was far from the place where he was reported to have been seen alive and that, in his opinion, Fawcett died of thirst and starvation. Petrullo brought back pictures of na- tives, who, he said, ferried Fawcett across the Kuluene River and were the men to ses him alive before he up there is a possibility of a test orl Speaker COLLEGE PRESIDENT TO.AD- DRESS ALUMNIL WALTER DILL SCOTT, President of Northwestern University, who will tell the Washington North- western Alumni Club tomorrow of a dents at his university study being made of precocious stu- | DELEGATES DRNE STRS WEONSH |Both Parties Bewildered. i Conventions Called for Tuesday.
