‘ ELY INDORSEMENT | EXPECTED MONDAY Smith Leader to Remain Silent Until Roosevelt Radio Address. B July 28.—Gov. F.anklin D. Roosevelt was preparing & 2dio speech today which is expected to pove the way for an announcement Mecnday by Gov. Joseph B. Ely of Mas- sachusetts concerning his position on th> Democratic national ticket. The leader of the strong Alfred E. Smith sentiment in New England did not come forth with the Roosevelt in- dorsement which some members of the Roosevelt campaign crew had looked for after his conference with the New York Governor yesterday, but when asked by newspaper men whether he ‘weuld support the Governor, he said: “I'll tell you all about that next onda; . ‘The Democratic standard bearer was &.t.ing beside him as he made the prom- added that Mr. Roosevelt's sched- | 4 racio speech for Saturday night, | in which the candidate has said he | would “discuss the whole platform,” | weuld have a common note with M announcement. This was tak to mean that Roosevelt would reaffirm the party’s strict adherence to the plank | calling for repeal of the eighteenth amendment. A hig}.\ly popular topic in New Eng- land, this in turn would give Ely occa- sion to come forward with expression of similar sentiment, and, incidentally, his indorsement of the Roosevelt-Garner combination. The Saturday night speech, although litical in nature, is not seen as mark- g the opening of Roosevelt’s major speaking campaign. The Governor's big guns will not be unlimbered until Au- gust 20, when he goes to Columbus, ©Ohio, to address the Democratic State Convention. e TRIAL OF DRY AGENTS AT LA PLATA DELAYED| By the Associated Press.

The delay was asked by the defense to give Amos W. W.

Hoover May Bid for Dry Vote. BY BYRON PRICE. In spite of all the excitement in| Washington, there is no indication the | bonus agitation will cut much ice on | election day. | Plenty of placards berating President | Hoover have been on display in the | bonus camp, but most of the votes be- hind those placards probably would have gone against the Republicans any- way on the score of the depression and | unemployment, political observers be- lieve. It must be remembered that the American Legion—which numbers its millions where the B. E. F. numbers its thousands—rejected a bonus resolution at the Detroit convention after a spe- cial appeal from the President. Legion officials later were much dis- pleased when the administration recom- | mended cuts in certain already-au- thorized veterans’ allowances, and the the administration’s subsequent trou- bles with the Washington paraders. But evidence is wholly lacking that the Legion intends to take the issue | into the campaign. Pinchot ;a:’rddent? Gov. Gifford Pinchot of Pennsyl- vania is being boomed for the Prohibi- tion party nomination for President, in place of William D.

It now is generally assumed among Washington politicians that Mr. Hoo- ver will include in his forthcoming ac- ceptance speech a definite gesture to- ward the organized drys.

By the Assoctated Press. PITM.iN, N. July 28 —Bishop James Cannon, jr., said last night that the Glass repeal resolution—pending in the Senate when Congress adjourned— would put into the Constitution “prac- tically worthless” and ‘“unenforceable” | limitations on the liquor traffic. “It is evident,” the bishop zaid, “that the adoption of the proposed limita- tions in the Glass resolution, concern- ing saloons and interstate shipments, would require a large increase in the number of prohibition agents and larger appropriations than today to even attempt to enforce this unen- forceable proposed Glass resolution. “In fact, any effective restriction of the liquor traffic, once legally licensed, would be utterly impossible.” ‘The clergyman, who led Southern prohibition forces 2gainst ‘Alfred E. Smith in 1928, said the “first impor- tant fact” about the Glass resolution was its presentation “by a Senator from Virginia, who has reputedly been ‘dry,’ representing a State also reputed to be ‘dry’.” He added: “Every candidete for Senator or House in the coming election should b= required to state unequivocally his posi- tion on submission, modification and re- peal. “The Glass amendment presents the clear-cut issue ‘shall the eighteenth amendment be repealed?” * * * to re- peal the eighteenth amendment and again to legalize the traffic anywhere would be exactly the same in principle as to repeal the Harrison narcotic drug act, the while slave law, the counter- feiting and lottery laws and leave these matters to the several States.” Bishop Cannon said the first pro- posed barriers in the Glass resolution against the liquor traffic was directed against the saloon. “This provision, so highly vaunted by | the Senator from Virginia, is for prac- ticgl purposes not worth the paper upon which it is written,” he said. “The only restriction is that it shall not be drunk at the place of sale. “The second protective barrier pro- posed by the Glass resolution is equally | futile and unenforceable. It proposes | to prohibit the transportation of bever- | age intoxicants into any State contrary to the laws of that State. * * * | “The bald fact is that there is no ef- fective proucllm} offered py the pro- from the “probably Democratie” column, and lists them as doubtful.
