DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT THURSDAY, JUNE 16, 1932.

'manager and then the Republican! I forces will be set for the great! : I quadrennial drive for votes of the ■! American people. '! The convention has chosen to I 11 present the Hoover ticket to the' (country this year on a platform I recommending submission of a new ■! prohibition modification amend-' ! Intent. This constitutes an historic I reversal in Republican policy. It Virtually insures that in some form 'the people will have a ehance to! pass upon the issue within the next! year or two. The Democrats, who meet here I June 27, are expected to adopt a prohibition revisionist program,: perhaps more strongly pointed, against the 18th amendment than the one which the Republicans vol-, led early today after a turbulent; night session.. Boos, catcalls and gallery disorders several times temporarily forced speakers to suspend during the stormy convention scenes last i night. By a vote of 681 to 472. the con-

I vention finally voted down a direct j repeal minority prohibition plank ’ proposed by Senator Hiram Bing|ham. Conn. This vote, taken at 1 1:15 a. m. after four hours of chaotic proceedings not seen in a Republican convention since the 1912 revolt of the Bull Moose PrbgressI ives, was followed by adoption of the majority platform without a record vote. Then the convention adjourned to meet again at 11 a. m. today I with'only one task, the nomination !of the ticket. The administration prohibition ' plan calls for submission to the ! country by congress of another am- , endment which would retain to ! congress tkie “power to preserve the gains already made in dealing I with the evils inherent in the liq- | nor traffic." but allowing states to ileal with the problem as their citizens may determine, subject always 'to tile power of the federal government to protect those states which : desirt; to remain dry and the safei- gu nd the country as a whole from

t the return of the saloon and attend < I ant abuses. Direct repeal advocates chartjacterized the administration plan ' as a straddle which if adopted ’ I would force wet states like New ' York to accept the dictation of con- ' | press as to how to deal with the f | liquor problem. Extreme drys Issu- I I cd a joint statement dec’aring their I I opposition to any reopening of the I II issue, whatever. I However the new platform marks I a definite change of Republican policy. In fact it is the first action ? by either major party to recommend in its platform a change in 5 prohibition. The modification movement of the Democrats in 192 S ' was introduced by Alfred E. Smith “ - after his nomination on a law en- | forcement platform which avoided the issue of revision or repeal. 9 Administration leaders predicted I . that opposition to Vice-President I n Curtis would quickly melt away I At one time during the convention :1 Charles G. Dawes appeared to be ■ favored by so many delegates that I j there was a strong possibility of a stampede. However his two I statements within the last |ew I days h.i.ve warned the convention that he would refuse to accept if nominated and his friends have relunctly abandoned their project. Some activity continued for other candidates, but it was scattered and unorganized and convention leaders seemed unworried by the situation. Joseph L. Scott, bos Angeles I lawyer, was chosen to place Presl- I dent Hoover in nomination. He 1 was born in England and was I knighted by the pope for war work. |l President Hoover’s chief oppon- I ent for the nomination is former I i Senator Joseph 1. Prance of Mary- I j land. Eew of the delegates are coh- I iscions that he is a candidate. He I I has made claims of 231 delegates I j instructed or ordered to vote for | him. Only a handful of Oregon delegates have indicated they would! |so vote and in this case the dele-j .gates have no choice in the matter ■under the Oregon preference pri-! Imary law. President Hoover did not enter the primary. [ General Jacob S. Coxey, mayor [of Massilon, 0., also is a candidate, I but only nominally. His delegates will get in nobody's way. Thus, despite all of the internal, g dissatisfaction with President Hoo- I ver, which was prevalent among jl Republicans some time ago, there,! is no one to challenge his control I of his party. He has forced through'! the prohibition plank which hell wanted. I "It’s his responsibility," said one I woman delegate from Pennsylvania I after the repeal plank was beaten. |l Though the party is preparing toll go back to the country with the I same candidate it offered in 1925, I the intervening four years have I wrought grave changes into the ■ condition of the United States and ■ of 'the world. Grinding worry lot >1 three and a half years of depress- I ion have left indelible physical|l marks on President Hoover. They ,1 have left equally indelible marks II on the Republican party. Whetherll these will cost it the election this I (year, no one can tell. Many Re- I I publicans, however, are deeply con- ■ Icerned at the contrasts today with ■ those conditions so proudly chron- I tided by Mr. Hoover in accepting H (the presidential nomination four.l 'years ago. B On that occasion he pointed Io ■ reduction in the national debt of ■ $6,500,000,000 (B). Today the treas- ■ lury deficit is almost half of that. I | He said then, that foreign debts ■ I had bee nsettled. Just a year ago I next Monday he proposed his war E 'debts and reparations moratorium ■ [because of inability of S I (CONTINUED ON PAGE EIGHT)
