[ A4 == PARTIES ARE DEFIED IN DRY CONVENTION Republicans and Democrats Denounced for Wet Stand. BY BYRON PRICE, Associated Press Staft Writer. CHICAGO, July 5—The prohibition debates which swept both of the great party conventions in Chicago are con- tinuing now in almost every community | with a ferocity lifting the question of the future of the dry laws to a new eminence in national By the Associated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, July 5.—Clinton W. Howard, delivering the keynote address today at the opening session of the Prohibition party’s national convention, hurled a challenge at the wet element of the two major parties. The Rochester, N. Y., man attacked both the Republican and Democratic national platform planks dealing with the liquor question. “We are ready to meet them on the ion issue in constitutional form * he declared, 400 Present. Accredited delegates numbering about 400 were present when National Chair- man D. Leigh Colvin whacked down the gavel calling the convention to order. Colvin came to the rosttum aiter a busy morning devoted to conferences med to elicit expressighs of sup- 3 or William E. Borah of as the party's preside®tial candi- date. The national chairman hoped to gain assurances from the leaders of various dry organizations that Borah would be given their backing if he con- sented to make the race for President on_the prohibition ticke! The keynote address by Mr. Howard was fllled with biting sarcasm directed at the wets of both the Republican and Democratic parties. Yield No Privileges. “We deny to the wets no right that| was ours under the Constitution,” de- clared the keynoter. “We yield to them 1o privileges that were not avallable to to the drys. We deny the right of the wets to take out of the Constitution by some unconstitutional short cuts what 1t tool 1e drys by constitutional meth- cds 100 years to put in.” Convention hopes centered on a move to unite the great national temperance organ ions in support of Senator Borah for the presidency. Mr. Colvin has engaged in conferences with representatives of the temperance groups who are here, designed to gain sdvance pledges of support to the Idaho Senator if he will accept the party’s nomination. Plans Not Disclosed. Borah, who has refused to support the Republican_presidential ticket because of the platform's declaration on prohi- bition, conferred with Colvin in Wash- ington Sunday, but neitber has revealed what, if anything, was decided. Those familiar with the Senator’s views belleve he will decline the nomination. Colyin, who returned here yesterday, said last nxgh(‘ hg o(:nol‘;l(l;aes anaslcl; Borah would poll 10,000,000 votes a: candidate foerresxdcm on the Prohi- ition ticket. The movement to draft Borah drew some opposition from persons, described s a minority of the prohibition group. | who feel the candidate should come from within the party ranks, as is cus- tomary Committees to draft a platform and attend to other convention business were formed at State caucuses preced- ing the opening session. Major Parties Denounced. The major parties were scored at & mass meeting last night for their pro- hibition stands. Colvin said, “The Re- ublican wet plank means that Mr. oover, who approved it and whose | close associates and appointees drafted it and whose advisers promoted it in the convention, is the most conspicuous turn-coat since Benedict Arnold.” Other speakers were Mrs. Jesse W. | Nicholson, president of the Women's Democratic Law Enforcement League; Mrs. F. I. Johnson of New York, and former Representative Willlam D. Up- shaw of Georgia. A number of delegates to a two-day meeting of the Women's National Com- mittee for Law Enforcement, Which ended here yesterday, announced plans to remain for the Prohibition party convention. ‘The women's group adopted a “platform” calling upon Con- gress” to support and defend the Con- stitution against a noisy minority who, for appetite and greed, would break down the Union.” BOMB IN CHARLESTON DEVISED BY EXPERT Apparatus Found in West Virginia State Capitol Called “Per- fect Machine.” By the Associated Press CHARLESTON, W.

Piremaster Methven of the Edinburgh, Scotiand, Fire Department has asked the | (Pa.) golmu. Editorials gathered by the Associated Press from hundreds of large and small newspapers disclose that among all the issues raised in the party platforms, prohibition—or, rather, what shall be done about prohibition—is the absorb- ing topic of local comment and agita- tion in every State. Many of the newspapers speak of the Democratic plank favoring repeal and the Republican plank favoring submis- | sion as presenting the one paramount question to be decided in November, overshadowing even the presidential outcome. Disagree on Importance. ‘Those who disagree with this view | take three directions: A few contend there is no difference in effect between the two planks. Others hold that no real referendum is possible in the pres- ent campaign because the prohibition issue is intertwined with grave economic problems. Still others point out that, regardless of the outcome, it is Congress and not the Fresident or party conven- tions- which must act if there is to be actual revision. No evidence of an actual shift in the party alignments of partisan newspa- | pers is presented, although in some sections of the South the editors warn the Democrats of wet-dry schisms, and some of the Republican independent Jjournals in anfl-rrohlbidun territory condemn Republican “pussyfooting” and flirt with the Democratic repeal | plank. One considerable group of presum ably wet advocates analyze both part; planks to assert that national prohibi tion is doomed. They are answered by | militant drys, who insist the Chicago conventiops both were swept by wet hysteria and that second thoughts will | be best. Many and varied are the descriptions attached to the two planks by editorial | writers as they attempt to assess the results at the polls in November. Rejoice in Big Citles. ‘The big city dallies of New York, Chicago and kindred industrial cen- ters unite in one shout of rejolcing that both conventions went further | toward the wet side than expected be- forehand. This view is far from unsn- | imous, however, even among the Na- | tion's largest and most influential pa- T pers. “The American people must decide whether they want to stop prohibition ¢ntirely, and leave the way open to the saloon and old conditions,” says the Kansas City Star, “or whether | they will hold the benefits that have been gained under prohibition and dis- card jts abuses under a moderate change of the existing system.” | The San Francisco Chronicle declares | the chief party difference is “that the Republican platform seeks to keep the tion question out of party poli- tics, where it does not belong, and in which it cannot be settled, while the Democratic party seeks to drag it into the presidential election.” The Los Angelés Times remarks: “‘Unsatisfactory to prohibitionists as was the Republican platform, the Dem- ocratic plank leaves them nowhere to go except into the Republican ranks, and this they will do by wholesale in many States.” Among the smaller journals, the Mitchell (S. Dak.) Evening Republican argues that “the Republican proposal is much more likely to secure repeal than that of the ts,” while the Wausau (Wis) Record Herald agrees that “the direct repeal plank of the Democratic platform is calculated to delay rather than hasten repeal of the eighteenth amendment,” and the Helena (Mont.) Independent, disagreeing with , says: Foresee Real Issue. “They cannot be compared. The one is a definite pledge—the other is mean- ingless.” Certain it is that editors scattered over a very wide territory are con- vinced a real inter-party issue has been presented to the electorate. Says the Worcester (Mass.) Evening Gazette: “The election is going to turn ve largely on the question of prohibition And the Salt Lake (Utah) Telegram “Upon this (Democratic) frank expres- sion toward prohibition the outcome of the presidential election will probably hinge.” And the Cherokee (Towa) Daily Times: “The wet or dry issue is apt to be the overshadowing issue.” The Danville (Va.) Bee sees the issue “the vehicle through which victory or defeat of the party will be brought about.” “The issue is joined,” says the Au- rora (Ill,) Beacon-News. “The wet and dry issue is laid down,” agrees the Janesville (Wis.) Gazette. “Now that the people know precisely where one party stands on Federal prohibition, they can vote straight and settle the issue.” concludes the St. Louls (Mo.) Post Dispatch. This note of clarity as to just what the controversy is all about is not, however, unanimous. The Wilkesbarre Record voices the sentiment of a considerable number of publications, widely scattered, when it says that the two planks “provide for exactly the same process of determining whether liquor shall or shall not be brought back, that is, by giving the people, in State con- ventions, the right to decide.” Little Difference Seen, “Both parties stand equally for lib- eralization of the eighteenth amend- ment,” says the Le (Me:) Eve- ning Journal, and down in Texas the | Houston Chronicle puts it this way: “Under the platform adopted by either the Republicans or the Demo- crats, the ultimate power to reject or ratify with the people themselves in precisely the same way, whicheyer | plank you academically prefer.” There is a notable editorial hesitancy about forecasting the results at the polis in November. Many dailies, like the | the Washington (D. C.) Evening Star, content themselves with merely review- ing the provisions of the two planks, determining the Democratic offering as | “wet” and the Republican as not quite so “wet,” and leaving the reader to| work it out for himself. The tradi- tionally ory Rochester (N. Y.) Times| Union concludes its editorial thus “The net result is to emphasize the wet position of the Democratic party as opposed to the course approved by the Republican convention.” Others are bolder. The Ofl City (Pa.) | Derrick states it as the general opinion | that the Democratic pronouncement | “will be the greatest asset of the Demo- cratic party in the coming campaign,” but adds that the Democrats should present a workable plan. The Salt Lake City (Utah) Deseret News predicts that “belween now and November the generation that voted for prohibition will wake up to the danger, and the | battle will not be so easy as the Demo- cratic leaders believe.” Democratic Split Expected.

The only cer- tainty in the Republican liquor plank is the overlordship of the Federal Gov- ernment in the control of a police regu- lation. The menace involved will make many Southerners, regardless of their belief about prohibition, think hard.” Opinions Differ Widely. The Shreveport (La.) Times says the repeal plank “gives the Nation what it wants,” while the Marshall (Tex.) Mes- senger declares the convention “voted to split the party wide open,” and the Charlottesville (Va.) Daily Progress took & middle course by predicting that Bishop Cannon probabiy would join the Republicans , “but apparently with a vastly less brave display than four years ago.” While some papers, including the Re- publican Colorado Springs (Colo.) Ga- zette, declare “the Democrats did what the Republican convention wanted to do” many among the most stanch pro- hibition advocates assert that both na- tional conventions were unduly influ- enced by wet galleries and the excite- m’!l‘hm ulllI the moment. e (Wash.) Washingtonian declares the repeal plank was adopted in a wave of hysteria” and predicts that “more sober days will come.” Sim- ilarly, the Stockton (Calif.) Independent refers to the Democratic convention as having been “swept off its feet by wet oratory,” and the Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat and Chronicle complains that dry sentiment among the delegates “was given no opportunity to express itself.” A few, like the Denver (Colo.) Post, hint at a well organized wet lobby.

(Ohio) Times Star is not worrled whether the conventions were stampeded. It says: “The country was stampeded into prohibition; it is fair enough that it should be stampeded out.” The attention given prohibition by both conventions, at the expense of pressing economic problems, arouses wide indignation, particularly among theBdri'l ed’];l;l’! “Both platforms are wrong in giving so much weight to liquor,” says the Detroit (Mich.) News. The much smaller Washington (Ind.) Herald be disposed of, but it is nothing short of colossal erime that it is being allowed to push all other considerations into the background.” In the same vein, the Yuma (Ariz) Sentinel observes that “it will be fine for the politicians if they can slip the voters a little beer and make them forget their troubles” and the Ana- heim (Calif.) Bulletin bemoans the turn of affairs as follows: “It seems unreal, impossibly un- American and almost ludicrous that the g:ple of this country should in these es of stress be seeking with such flendish determination to restore alco- hol to its throne. What a country! What a situation!” ‘The friends of national prohibition, on the one side, and its enemies on the other, try to outdo one another with the sharpness of their words of commendation and condemnation. Repeal Plank Hailed. “The Democratic repeal plank is a sign of the return of common sense,” says the Youngstown (Qhio) Vindicator. “The first definite and decisive step to- ward national prosperity,” is the way the Seattle (Wash.) Daily Times speaks of the repeal indorsement. Says the Philadelphia (Pa.) Record, “No citi- zen could ask more.” The Baltimore (Md.) Evening Sun applauds: “Down with sples; up with beer. In essence, that is the prohibition plank the Demo- cratic party adopted. All honest men will rejoice.” And on the other side of the ques-( tion: “In adopting the repeal plank, the | Democratic convention took an ex- tremely unwise step,” says the Chata- nooga (Tenn.) News. “The situation is the result of a huge expenditure of money on the part of men who expect to reap a rich harvest from the traffic it it is restored, and overconfidence on the part of the drys,” joins in the Ada (Okla.) Evening News. Many of those who protest against the Democratic repeal plank believe, with the Albuquerque (N. Mex.) Morn- ing Journal that the J;ropoul contains no real safeguards and that “the saloon would return.” “Repeal of prohibition means a re- turn of the saloon,” insists the Wheel- ing (W. Va.) News. “The Democratic plank does not in fact provide against return of the saloon and.the evils of an unregulated liquor traffic,” agrees the Syracuse, (N. Y.) Post Standard. The New York, (N.Y.) Daily News, on the otber hand, complains because the Democrats advised against return of | the saloon at all, asking why and State which wants the old days back should not be permitted to have them. Looks Only to Congress. A point overlooked by many editors s made by the Cumberland, (Md.) Daily News when it says: “The national conventions do not write constitutional amendments. These are prepared by Congress. The issue is so indubitably injected into the campaign this year that no candidate in either branch can afford to pussyfoot on it.” On the same theme, Victor Murdock’s Wichita, (Kans.) Eagle asks “everybody interested again to remember that the issue itself cannot be launched before the Nation except by Congress.” Whatever the merits of the whole discussion, and whatever the outcome, the editors agreed by the hundreds that a real prohibition war impends, and that it will not be over soon. The edi- torial estimates of the time it will take to arrive at any decision on constitu- tional prohibition range from 2 to 10 years. Meantime, it is unanimous, too, that prohibition is now an integral part of the partisan political set-up of the country, a circumstance which the Peoria’ (Illinois) Journal sees fit to de- scribe thus: “The Natlon has suffered from prohi- bitfon as a moral issue. It now bids fair to suffer from prohibition as a political issue.” DREISER BACKS REDS Famous Novelist to Vote Commu- nistic Party Ticket in Fall. NEW YORK, July 5 (#) —Theodore Dreiser, novelist, who frequently has de- clared his sympathy with the Russian Soviet government, announced today through his secretary that he intended to vote the Communist ticket in the coming presidential election, “Capitalism," Drejser’s statement said, “has failed as a system of government. STAR, W. PROHIBITION PARTY SEES OPPORTUNITY Platforms of Democrats and Republicans Held Great Chance for Drys. By the Associated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 5.—With Democrats advocating repeal and Re- publicans committed to resubmission, the Prohibition party holding its three- day national convention here today sees an opportunity handed to it on a platter in the campaign ahead. It was the determination of heads of the party to offer an attractive rallying point for dry sentiment of the nation, they say, that led them to approach Senator Willlam E. Borah of Idaho with a view to inducing him to head the ticket for President. Dan Moody, former Governor of Texas, was considered as a possible candidate for Vice President from the | same motives. If neither of these two accepts the party leaders hope to draft some other names potent in national politics. The National Chairman. Among the minor problems which the party has to thresh out is the question of who is national chairman. D. Leigh Colvin, elected chairman in the 1928 campaign, has taken the lead in making convention arrangements, but Willlam F. Varney of Rockville Center, N. Y., the party's candidate for President four years ago, also has taken a prominent part in leadership. ‘The party traces a history almost as old as that of the Republican party. Even before the Civil War the idea was originated of making prohibition the central principal of a political ¥, and in 1856 Myron H. Clark was elected Governor of New York on an “anti- dramshop” ticket. ‘The first big convention was in 1869, however, when delegates from 20 States attended. In 1870 prohibition tickets were named in six States, and in 1872 &c’k y named its first presidential et. Prohibition _party candidates for President and Vice President have been entered in every national campaign since that year, Candidates for President. Its candidates have been: James Black, Pennsylvania, 1872; Gen. Green Clay Smith, Kentucky, 1876; Gen. Neal Dow, Maine, 1880; Jahn P. 8t. John, Kansas, 1884; Gen. Clinton B. Fisk, New Jersey, 1888; Gen. John Bidwell, California, 1892; Joshua Levering, Maryland, 1896; John C. Woolley, Tllinols, 1900; Silas G. Swallow, Penn- sylvania, 1904; Eugene W. Chafin, Wisconsin, 1908 and 1012; J. Frank Hanley, Indiana, 1916; Aaron 8. Wat- kins, Ohlo, 1920; Herman P, Faris, Mis- souri, 1924, and Willlam F. New York, 1928, ‘The party’s high-water mark in vote gathering was in 1892 when 263,480 votes were cast for Gen. Bidwell. Al- though the issue of free silver split the party the following campalgn, its presidential candidates received more than 200,000 votes in each of the cam- paigns of 1900, 1904, 1908 and 1912. The Prohibition party convention was the first in which woman delegates re- ceived the same recognition as men. Aside from prohibition the party has advocated woman suffrage, prison re- form, lower railroad rates, postal savings banks, regulation of interstate cor- porations, civil service reform, cheap | letter postage and income tax in its platforms.

BARNER W WILL REST BEFORE CAMPAIGN Speaker to Go to Texas Home When Congress Adjourns. By the Associated Press. Speaker John Nance Garner is going to take a rest in the sunshine of Texas before he enters the campaign for the vice presidency, At present he does not plan any ex- tensive tours, but already Democrats throughout the country are urging him to make speeches in a number of big cities. As soon as possible after Congress adjourns, Garner will go to All to confer with Gov. Pranklin Roosevelt on plans for the campaign. Then he will return to Washington to wind up de- talls at the Speaker’s office. Tired by Long Session. Somewhat wearied by the long and hectic seven months of this session of Congress, Garner is anxious to go home to Uvalde. He is always refreshed by a stay in the invigorating climate. Fishing trips in a much-battered fiivver, too, give him rest and relaxation. Garner does not want to make many speeches. He feels that through the radio candidates can reach more people on real issues. On the other hand, he contends that even on an extensive tour, without the aid of the radio, a candidate can hardly get his word to more than 200,000 persons. Garner probably will make his head- quarters in Washington during the latter part of the campaign, and will make at least one radio speech here. As far as receiving the official noti- fication of his nomination, Garner feels that his message to the convention ac- cepting it was sufficient. He believes that the less flubdub about the cam- paign and the nomination the better. Candidate for Congress. Meanwhile, he will continue as a candidate for the next Congress from |the fourteenth Texas district, which he has served for 30 years. The primaries are on the last Saturday of this ‘month. Garner’s idea is to keep the 6,000 Republican voters in his dis- trict from electing a successor to him. Not until Congress has adjourned will he make any public statement on poli- tics. He holds that he is too busy at his present job as Speaker of the House. The suggestion that the Texan speak in Chicego, San Francisco and New York during the campalgn is supported by & number of Democratic House lead- ers. They include Representatives Mc- Duffle of Alabama and Warren of North Carolina, who claim the people of the country want to see the Texan. JAMES N.
