DRYS WANT NO DAMP MEN ON ' EITHERTICKET Anti-Saloon League Serves Demands on Both Major Parties. > Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. B.—The Anti-Saloon League served notice on major political parties today that It will expect more than mere “law enforcement planks” in their 1928 platforms. A. resolution adopted Wednesday night informed party leaders that the league can accept their "professions as sincere and the party candidates as worthy of our support “only when they name as their standard bearers in nations 1 and State ele^ti'" - - to the Constitution, including tlx) Eighteenth Volstead act.” The test of such loyalty, the resolution ran, “must be the utterances, acts and records of the candidates themselves.” F. Scott Mcßride, as general superintendent, was firmly guiding league affairs today. He made plain in a statement that he would have charge of the league’s law enforcement policies and that Ernest H. Cherrington, favoring a milder policy of “temperance education,” would be restricted to heading the league’s new department of education and publicity. “An administrative committee,” creation of which as a controlling body was decided on earlier when Mcßride’s and Cherrington’s forces appeared evenly divided, was to be selected today by the executive committee. Rev. A. J. Barton of Atlanta, Ga., was retained as chairman of the executive committee despite reports that Mcßride’s followers wanted him deposed. COLISEUM SITE IS UP Location of the proposed municipal coliseum will be decided Tuesday if all coliseum board members attend the meeting. J. Edward Krause, board president, said no action could be taken Tuesday, because only a few members were present. Sites under consideration are bounded by: Alabama, New Jersey, Ohio and Market Sts.
