PHILADELPHIA, - June 20.—If the Republicans want to “prove that the administration prohibition plank was not a straddle,” the Republican Citi- zens' Committee Against Prohibition suggested yesterday, they can do it by presenting to Congress now the amend- ment on which they would sanction a | referendum. The suggestion was contained in a telegram sent today to Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson, who last week praised the plank as a forthright decla- ration. Raymond Pitcairn of this city, who signed the telogram as vice chair- man of the committee, sald copies had been sent to President Hoover, the other cabinet members and all the Re- publicans in Congress. “Let the administration immediately publish the text of the resubmission | amendment by which the President is| willing to have the people vote for re- peal.” the telegram stated. “If this is done and if such resub- | mission is presented and pressed for | action in Congress now, before it ad- | journs, it will become evident that the | administration intends to keep faith with the people. | s e REAL G. 0.

By the Kssociated Press. CHICAGO, June 20.—New York with her 94 votes became the sudden focal point of Democratic preconvention skirmishing here today as leaders of Gov.

In the melee over the presidency, the | ancient two-thirds nomination rule of the Democrats is up again for its cus- tomary round of speculation.

Apparently disregarding entirely re- ports that his friend, Mayor Frank ‘Hague of Jersey City, may propose him as a_ “dark horse” candidate for the presidential nomination at the Demo- cratia National Convention in Chicago next week, Gov. Moore sald today he is not interested in the vice presidential boom. He is not going to Chicago next week, although he was elected a delegate at large, He will be right here in the State House, he said, doing all he can to assist in the search for the kidnapers and murderers of little Charles Augustus | Lindbergh, jr. “The main thing just now,” he said, “i5 to find out who killed that child.

Moore deeply. He has no children of his own, but he is ex- tremely fond of them. ‘Through most of his political life he has devoted much of his time and thought to their welfare. He was re- sponsible for the Jersey City playground system and still umpires juvenile base ball games there. He is considered an authority on playgrounds.

I don't believe the ransom note nor the notes received by Dr. J. F. Con- don were written by an alien or unedu- cated person, despite their crude spell- ing and the foreign words. To me that is all quite obviously faked.” They used to call A. Harry Moore “Red” when he was a boy. His hair isn't red any more, but he still has freckles. He is a quiet, unassuming sort of man, approachable and friendly. Ever since he quit school down in the grades to go to work, he has been edu- cating himself. He first learned short- hand—teching it to a Y. M. C. A. class | while he was studying it himself. Then he went in for oratory. While he was commissioner of parks in Jerscy City he started to study law. He finished the course with honors, and for two years, between his first and second terms as Governor, he practiced | law. “My practice was mostly corporation law,” he said, “but toward the end I got 'into criminal law.

HELENA, Mont., June 20.—Montana Republicans, who are well aware they are up against a decidedly stiff proposi- tion this Fall, are saying nothing at present, while the Democrats are more or less up in the air while they await the outcome of the national convention. Montana, normally Republican, un- questionably is not so enthusiastic for a second term for President Hoover. But let the Democrats name a radical, wet or dry, or, one the other hand, a colorless conservative, and Montana may remain in the Republican column, after all. 1t cannot be said that prohibition looms very large here.
