whether it will be wet or dry.
That, briefly, is the prohibition plank
adopted by the Republican national
convention In Chieca-
go. It was dictated by
President Hoover, and
the administration
forces, In complete
control of the con-
vention, put it over
after one of the most
uproarious sessions in
twenty years of Re-
publican conventions.
The plank is not
pleasing to the very

Hoover is completely obnox-
fous to the dry ones,
Republican plan congress
will at all times be In gencral con
trol of liquor law enforcement in
those states that elect to remain dry.
Also, congress will control the manu-
facture, sale and distribution of
liquor within the borders of the wet
states,

had been whispered in some quarters

Herbert Hoover for President and
Charles C. Curtis for Vice President.

The Hoover plank as
reads in part as follows:
“We do not favor a submission
timited to the Issue of retention or
repeal For the American nation
never in its history has gone back
ward, and in this the progress
which has been thus far made must
be preserved, while the evils must be
eliminated.
“We, therefore, that the
people should have an opportunity to
pass upon a proposed amendment the
provision of which, while retaining
the federal government power to pre
serve the gains already made In deal
ing with the evils inherent in the
iquor traffic, shall a states to
deal with the problem as their citi
zens may determine, but subject al
ways to the power of the federxl
government to protect those states
where prohibition may exist and safe
guard our citizens everywhere from
the return of the saloon and its at-
tendant abuses.
“Such an amendment should be
promptly submitted to the states by
congress, to be acted upon by state
conventions called for that sole pur
pose In accordance with the provi
sions of Article V of the Constitu-
tion, and adequately safeguarded so
as to be truly representative.”
The entire platform, as submitted
by the resolutions committee, was
adopted by a viva voce vote. Some of
the high lights follow:
Approval given an emergency re
lief fund for loans to states In
need. No direct federal relief
to individuals,
Shorter work weék, shorter work
day, legislation to stimulate
home building, continuance of
restricted immigration.
Prompt and drastic reduction of
public expenditure urged.
Further aid pledged through fed.
eral farm board, protective tariff
duties, assistance to solve prob-
lems of controlling production.
Full protection to incapacitated
veterans pledged. Cush payment
of bonus not mentioned.

tion to natural resource indus.

President's “constructive program”
lauded as an attack on the de-
pression with “far-reaching ob-
Jectives, but entalling no danger
to the budget.”
Republican control of the federal
government will “Insure the or-
derly recovery of the country.”
\ J HILE the Republicans were busy
in Chieago, the Democrats made
small progress in settling their pre
convention squabbles. One develop
ment was the rumor, originating In
Chicago, that Melvin A, Traylor, the
banker who is one of the dark horse
possibilities for the Presidential nomi
nation, might be put on the Roosevelt
ticket in second place. It was sald
the New York governor would wel
come this move. The Traylor cam-
palgn managers seemed to think the
better ticket would be “Traylor and
Roosevelt.”
Support of the nominee, whoever he
may was pledged by leaders of
the party in a united appeal for com-
pletion of the party's $1,500,000 vie
tory fund before the opening of the
national convention on June 27. The
message to the rank and file was
signed by Alfred E. Smith, Gov. Frank-
lin Roosevelt, Jouett Shouse, Owen D,
Young, Newton D. Baker, former Gov,
James M. Cox, John W,. Davis and 54
other leaders.

Though it passed the house by a
vote of 211 to 176, there was no pos

laying their fears
that his government
intended eventually
to overthrow the re
public. He assured
them solemnly that
his rule would be
“based entirely on
the constitution of

that his cabinet was
unsocial or reaction
ary. The dissolu
tion of the reich
stag and the calling of elections
were thought necessary, he said,
to a new unified expression of
the national will, and It was his be
lief “that a new parliament will more
readily produce a clear-cut majority

rehabilitation and an economie orien.

F SLrowing the abortive attempt
of three young Cubans to assassl-
nate President Machado by throwing
a bomb at him, the police of the island
republic made a se
ries of raids on the
homes of prominent
persons and asserted
they had uncovered
three separate plots
against Machado's
life. Nearly a hun
dred leading citizens
of Havana were put
in prison, and arms
and explosives were
seized. Capt. Miguel
Calvo, chief of the
police expert bureau,
sald: “Cubans have
turned to terrorism in a desperate ef-
fort to oust President Machado dead
or alive. 1 am convinced that Ka
vana's leading wen and women have
gone crazy. The revelations are as
tounding and most disappointing for
the future of Cuba and the Cubans”

overthrow the government on May 20,
