sl ST SN RITCHIE TO WORK - FOR PARTY TICKET Governor Says Wet Plank . Was Drafted in Baltimore City Hall. By the Associated Press. ! BALTIMORE, July 4 —Gov. Albert C. | Ritchie came back to Maryland yester- day on his special train from the Demo- cratic National Conventien at Chicago | and told several thousand people who greeted him here that he “was going to take off his coat and work for the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt.” Gov. Ritchie himself was placed in| nomination for the presidency at the | convention in a speech by Senator Mil- lard D. Tydings and received the vote of his native State and scattering votes from other delegations on the first three J ballots. . On the fourth and nominating bali Gov. Ritchie, chairman of the Ma land delegation, stood on his ¢ the convention hall and o land casts 16 votes for Roosevelt.” Standing on the platform of the train, the Governor d the prohibi- tion repeal plank ir Democratic pietform was drafted in the office of | Mayor Howard W. Jackson in Balti- more’s City Hall Ritchie described the vociferous ova- tion as the most “completely over-! whelming” of his career : | The crowd received in return his as- syrance of a triumphant Democcratic presidential campaign to which he would give unstinting support. To Begin Battle. “WWhen last January at a meeting of the Concord Club I said that, of course, | I'd like to be President, I also said that. it T were unsuccessful, you would find me this Summer and Fall battling for the man successful in attaining the party’s nomination,” Gov. Ritchie sifoutad through the amplifiers. ‘“T ex- pect to leave this platform this after- noon and begin that battle. “The party has put forward a plat- form that is worthy of the support of the people. It has two candidates, Roosevelt and Garner, that also are worthy of the support of the people, and I believe they are going to get it. I hope and believe Maryland is going to be behind those candidates, too.” Concluding his brief address the Governor called on Maryland Demo- crats to “take off your coats and put your shoulders to the wheel; fight for the election of Roosevelt and Garner.” One passage in the Governor's ad- dress evoked more cheers and applause than any other, when he proclaimed: “The fight's over; the battle’s won. The eighteenth amendment is doomed.” ‘The ovations frequently were inter- spersed with inquiry for Mrs. W. Wal- lace Lanahan, who, waving a flag from the Chicago Stadium platform, had led the demonstration that followed Gov. Ritchie's nomination. Members of the delegation appeared unanimous in de- scribing her as “the hit of the con- vention.” Mayor Jackson Cheered. Cries of “Ritchie, Ritchie—H, | Ritchie” and “Go back and get 'em next time, ol’ boy,” went up as the Governor arrived. Close .at his heels came Mayor Jackson of Baltimore, for ‘whom there were nearly as many cheers @s for the Governor. Former Mayor Preston, the next speaker, got his address under way with some difficulty, a train announcer’s bel- lowings in the distance providing grace notes that stirred the crowd to bursts of laughter. “Gov. Ritchie and the Maryland dele- gation deserve well at your hands” he began. “They have made Maryland the center of the universe.” “Gov. Ritchie has done mere for three times nomination for President of the nited States.” Laughter, No More “Raddio,” He Says. ‘Turning to the Governor, Mr. Pres- ton continued: “If you could have seen the family groups around the radio— perhaps I should eay ‘raddio’ But I think that is pretty well in the past. We won't hear so much of ‘raddjo’ from now on.” ‘The crowd laughed again. Gov. Ritchie, the last speaker, after voicing his appreciation of the. recep- tion, said: “Although we did not come home with | the bacon, the Maryland delegation did do what I consider a great thing. It was in the very forefront of the battle ' for the plank pledging our party for repeal. That plank was drafted in Mayor Jackson’s room. Only two of the nine members of the subcommittee that finally submitted it were for it at first. ‘The fact that it finally was adopted by the Resolutions Committee by a vote of 35 to 17 T lay largely to the credit of Mayor Jackson and Brooke Lee.” When the Governor completed his address he was presentec- with a basket of flowers from the Maryland delegation and a huge floral representation of the State flag from the Maryland Club. Later he had the flag sent to his moth- er's grave. Explains Switch of Votes. Later, at the Belvedere Hotel, when informed some of his partisans were outspokenly regretful that the Mary- 'and delegation had not voted for him to LLe bitter end, Gov. Ritchie laughed and said: “What else_was there to do? We | ‘were licked. Roosevelt had won. Nat- | uraliy, we wanted to make it unanimous if possible. One might excuse a delega- | tion for refusing if it were backing an | out-of-State candidate, but a compet- | ing candidate’s own delegation belongs to the winning candidate when his vic- | tory is no longer in doubt.” The Governor declined to comment on reports that he would seek a fourth | term as Governor or that he would run | for the United States Senate.

PIN HOPE ON BORAH AS DRYS ASSEMBLE Indianapolis Convention Ex- pects Senator to Lead Coming Campaign. By the Assoclated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, July = 4. — Hoping Senator Borah may lead them in a fighting mmgllln for the presidency, members of the Prohibition party, stir- red to militant action by the repeal and resubmission planks of the Demo- crats and Republicans, gathered here today for thefr quadrennial natiomal convention, ‘The party’s national chairman, D. Leigh Colvin, sped to the city from a conference with the Idaho Senator at Washington, withholding meanwhile any intimation of how Borah had re- ceived his proposal. Senator, too, (‘:’;l' silent, referring inquirers to Mr. lvin. Borah for the first time in & career of insurgency has boited the Republican presidential ticket because of the party’s stand for the submission to State con- ventions of an amendment intended to repeal the eighteenth. Delegates Hopeful. Arriving delegates made no secret of their high hope that the Senator would accept the nomination. On the other hand, those in Washington familias with his views were doubtful and quoted him as having said the prohibition issue was not one on which a successful third party could be based. The reading of a message from the Senator was announced as a feature of the luncheon held today by the Wom- en’s National Committee for Law En- forcement, -which is concluding a two- day meeting here. Whether the com- munication would disclose any indica- tion of the course he plans to follow was a subject of speculation in advance of its publication. ‘With the convention opening this eve- ning, the day was given over to pre- liminary conferences among the party’s leaders attended by Chairman Colvin. ‘These talks included, in addition to a report on his meeting with Borah, dis- cuasion of the party's platform. This, it was predicted, would include a scorching denunciation of the atti- tude of the Republicans and Democrats and a vigorous appeal for support from dissatisfied prohibitionists within those parties. Dan Moody Mentioned. For the vice presidential nomination there ‘was talk of former Gov. Dan Moody of Texas as well as discussion of giving him first place on the ticket if Borah should decline. If hoth refuse the party’s leaders hope to obtain other figures well known in national politics. For the Women's Law Enforcement Committee, Mrs. Henry W. Peabody, its chairman, last night issued a state- ment disclaiming any intention of al-| Iym(g her organization with a third arty “We are an afliation of women's national organizations,” she said. “We represent only those national groups of women affiliated with us and We are not subject to any temperance board of strategy or political group, even though we may admire their courageous efforts. We entirely are in- dependent and we shall make our own | ‘declaration of independence’ tomor- row.” | For keynote speakers to begin a de- nunciatory barrage on the stand of the major parties, the Prohibitionists se- lected Chairman Colvin, Mrs. F. I Johnson of New York and Mrs. Jessle W. Nicholson, national president of the Women's Committee. OKLAHOMA PRIMARY DUE [ Dozen Candidates in Contest for | Senate Seat.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, Il July 4—The Nation's organized drys were on the warpath today against both party platforms on prohibition. A proclamation by tne National Pro- hibition Board of Strateg, declared un- alterahle oppo-ition to repsal or sub- mission of any repeal or modification proposal which would weaken or destroy the dry laws and concluded: “We urge all friends of the eighteenth amendment to devote their be efforts to the election of dry candidates to both houses of Congress and to the State Legislatures.” Plan Recommendations. Although taking no stand on the presidential contest, the board said it would recommend and publish at an early date the “procedure and active steps to be taken in the conduct of the c-mpaign.” The drys “heartily” agreed with that portion of the Republican plank de- claring for “obedience to and enforce- ment of the law and the preservation of gains admittedly accomplished under the eighteenth amendment,” but 1- posed that section recommending sub- mission of a substitute amendment to permit dry States to remain dry and wet States to go wet again. Regarding the Democratic plank committing the party to repeal and modification of the Volstead act, the board said: “This plank would eliminate the eighteenth amendment in its entirety from the Constitution and would open the floodgates to wholesale and un- controllable violations of the law.” Oppose Convention Plan. ‘The board voiced objections to the provision in both platforms for rati- fication of a new amendment by State conventions. “We oppose the convention method for ratification of constitutional amend- ments,” the board said, “as untried, entirely unprotected by election laws and corrupt practices acts and directly inviting all forms of jobbery and ma- chine control.” “In this emergency,” the drys’ state- ment continued, “we urge the friends of the eighteenth amendment to unity of effort and against ill-advised and ineffective political movements tending to waste their energies and resources, dividing and diverting them into chan- nels that would serve only the ene- mies of our cause.” Holds Prohibition Best. ‘The board recognized that national prohibition had not been fully observed and enforced, but held it had accom- plished more and had been “far more successfully enforced than any other licy of liquor control which has ever n_tried.” “Those who flout the Constitution and disobey the prohibition law,” it said, “will not obey the restrictions which would necessarily be a part of any regulatory law which might su- persede the eighteenth amendment.” The text of the dry proclamation follows: | Drys Start Drive. “The results of the recent national political conventions were not such as to eliminate the prohibition issue from the 1932 campaign. Therefore the board of strategy, created by the Na- tional Conference of Organization Sup- porting the Eighteenth Amendment, in- cluding in its membership officers and leaders of the national temperance or- ganizations and general church de- nominational temperance boards, in the interest of the retention of the eight- eenth amendment and the defense of the Constitution against the lawless liquor attacks, offers to the people it evaluation of the platform adopted by the conventions. “We are opposed to repeal. We are opposed to the submission of any repeal or modification proposal which would destroy or weaken national prohibition. ‘The prohibition forces of the Nation will, to the very limit of their ability, preserve, protect and defend that salu- tary governmental policy. Benefits Held Proved. “Proof of the benefits of the eight- eenth amendment is evidenced by un- impeachable testimony from govern- mental records, social welfare agencies, and other authoritative sources. Those benefits are in proportion to the extent | of observance and the degree of en- forcement. “While we recognize the fact that na- tional prohibition has not had the de- gree of observance and enforcement to which it is entitled, we are, neverthe- less, convinced that this national policy of government has accomplished more and has been far more success- fully enforced than any other policy o!l liquor control which has ever been iried. “Experience has demonstrated that any other method for the mitigation | of the evils of the liquor traffic would unquestionably foster greater evils and create more formidable difficulties of | administration and enforcement than | those with which the Government has | been compelled to deal under the eighteenth amendment. “The violation of the prohibition law and the evils attendant thereon, by no| process of reason or logic, can be prop- | erly chargeable to the law. Such evils are the natural product of the nefarious traffic which in all its long history has | No Federal or State regulatory law has ever received from the liquor traffic willing respect or observance. That traffic is inherently iawless and has always challenged popular government. | “The very success of the law today 1s primarily responsible for the highly | organized and heavily financed propa- ganda against it. Constitution and disobey the prohibition | iaw will not obey the restrictions which ulatory law which might supersede the | eighteenth amendment. Agree With Part of Plank. “The platform plank on the eight- eenth amendment adopted by the Re- publican party convention declares for obedience to and enforcement of the | law and the preservation of gains ad- mittedly accomplished under the eight- eenth amendment. It declares against nullification, non-observance, referen- dums without constitutional sanction, the submission of a mere repeal amend- ment and any ‘backward step.' The plank declares that prohibition has been and is a non-partisan question.

Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. vides a community arose in Massachu- nizes one of the most brilliant members Massachusetts’ grand old jurist, Oliver ‘Wendell Holmes, lifted his voice, not only to urge the appointment, but to ap- peal for it after strident objection had been made. ‘The objection to Frankfurter is much the same and from the same quarter as the objection to Louis D.

Frankfurter's accession to the State Court would have the same strong liberalizing influence as Brandeis’ had upon the Federal Court. Mooney Case Recalled. But the bitterness that marks the issue has a more rooted partisanship in the community than the merely capi- talist influence that opposed Brandeis. Frankfurter has been a partisan in two of the most flaming criminal controver- sies of his times.

As the anniversary of the found- ing of American lberty, it seems fitting that, it should be so. But the Fourth of July does not stand dedicated alone to the establishment of the independence of the republic. It is indelibly marked in a score of his- | tory's chapters as an anniversary of other events in the life of America; an- niversaries which, eclipsed by the mag- nitude of the observance of national liberty, go virtually unmarked Since that momentous occasion 156 years ago, when the Declaration of In- | dependence was signed, three of this | country's Presidents have died on July | 4. singularly enough, two of these, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, | were signers of the declaration and both | played & prominent part in the draw- | ing up of that famous document. It is one of the outstanding coincidences of all history that both of these great statesmen died the same day, July 4, 1826, just as America celebrated the semi-centennial of the signing of her | proclamation of liberty. Coolidge 60 Today. Five years later, to the date, James Monroe, fifth President of the United States and author of the historically famous Monroe Doctrine, died. For Calvin Coolidge, thirtieth Presi- dent of the United States, Independ- ence day marks a birthday anniversary. Today he is 60 years old. History, in penning the record of the Machine Age, already has inscribed July 4, 1894, as an all-important date with *relation to the advent of the *“horseless carriage.” Motorists of to- | day might well reflect on that day 38 | years ‘ago when Elwood Haynes, who { is accredited with the original invention | and design of a gasoline road vehicle, drove his crude and cumbersome motor- powered machine a mile and -a half over the streets of Kokomo, Ind., to mark the first automobile trip ever made. ‘The automobile thus had its advent on Independence day and Haynes as head of the Haynes-Apperson Motor Car Co. was among the first producers of gaso- | line automobiles in the United States.

Their sailing boats car- ried the manufactured wares of New England to the Orient and returned laden with spices, silks and teas. Frank- lin always has been a lover of the sea. He surrounded himself with bocks and pictures of maritime activities and his studies and offices reflect the atmosphere of the fo'castle and the bridge. The Governor’s conversation often is studded with nautical terms. The porch of his Georgia home, looking out over tree-mattressed Pine Mountain, is to him “the topside.” During his Navy Department days he astounded the Na- tion's sea fighters with his knowledge of their business and his usage of their terminology.

After his college days at Harvard he went to Columbia to study law. During his senior year he married Anna Elea- nor, his sixth cousin.
