VIRGINIA G. 0. P. BACKSLOWDEN ©elegates Instructed to Cast Votes for Illinois Man. ROANOKE. Va.. March IS.—Virginia’s' four delegates to the national republican convention have been Instructed to vote for the nomination of Qov. Frank O. Lowden as the republican candidate for the presidency. The delegates were named at a state convention which closed yesterday evening after electing the four delegates at large and four alternates. There was no effort to have the delegates instructed for any other candidate. The Lowden opponents, evidently realizing that they could not crystalize sentiment in favor of any one of their respective candidates, fought for an uninstructed delegation. Will H. Hays, national chairman, addressed the meeting. He devoted most of his speech to an attack on President Wilson. He repeated statements made in former speeches to the effect that the (Resident had a “single track mind and a side tracked cabinet.” He also repeated his statement that Balnbridge Colby, progressive, who has been nominated for secretary of state, is “not a diplomat but a door mat.” The convention adopted a platform advocating the ratification of the peace treaty with reservations, the reduction of taxes, the creation of a national budget system, the maintenance of a small standing army with a citizen reserve, and opposing further loans to Europe. Henry W. Adams cf Richmond was the convention's choice for vice president. The four delegates at large were instructed to vote for Mr. Adams at the Asnvention.

COURT BATTLE LAST OF WETS Liquor Men Not to Throw Money Away, View. NEWARK, N. J., March 18.—If their fight to have the eighteenth amendment declared unconstitutional fails, the liquor interests’ battle against prohibition will be over. The distillers and brewers realize the hopelessness of attempting to obtain the repeal of the amendment. Such is the position of Christian W. Feigenspan, president of the United States Brewers’ association, who has t>een called the “master mind” of the wet forces. Viewed in this light the 3.50 per cent beer bill passed by the New Jersey legislature and the similar one pending in New York are nothing more or leaß than “bluff." ‘‘We are centering our hopes on the attempt to have the supreme court declare the eighteenth amendment unconstitutional,” said Feigenspan. “If the amendment is held legal we shall not conduct any agitation for its repeal, as 5 per cent of the country’s population in thirteen of the smaller states could prevent this.” Letter From Austria Pleads for Starving Friendly professional intercourse between the Indiana bureau of legislative information and the statistical bureau of Graz, Austria, Interrupted by the war. has been resumed, Charles Kettleborough, director of the bureau here, said today, but the subject matter of the correspond ence has undergone a strange change In character. Instead of the dry fund of statiatical intelligence usually coutained in his let ters, D. W. Nnhleburg of Graz inclosed an impassioned appeal for aid for starving Austrians. He said: “Our country, being for the greater part high mountains under the new territorial boundaries, is not able to produce enough food for Its inhabitants." Former Comrades at Maj.
