G. TOSSES DRY GAUNTLET TO DEMOCRATS Plank Pledges Enforcement and Observance of Prohibition. WETS LOOK TO SMITH Election to Bring Showdown on Issue If Governor Is Nominated. BY RAY TUCKER KANSAS CITY, June 14.—Taking the dry end of the argument, the Republicans have put it up to the Democrats to decide whether the November election shall provide the first real showdown on prohibition. The G. O. P. will nominate a man who believes that prohibition is a “noble experiment” on a plank which pledges, the party and individual Republicans to “vigorous enforcement and observance of the Eighteenth Amendment.” Wets’ demand for modification or repeal were rejected, and the plank constitutes an admission of the sacredhess of prohibition. Butler to Fight William S. Vare of Pennsylvania, who voiced the wets’ demands on the committee, has agreed not to submit a minority report to the convention. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, said he would carry the fight to the convention itself, even in the face of protests by some of his wet backers. It is expected his fight will be smothered. _ With the adoption of the dry plank as written, the Republican party will go into the November election against a prospective candidate who repeatedly has demanded light wines and beer. Bank on Smith Should this situation remain unchanged, it means that the leading wet of the nation, A1 Smith, will oppose a man who personally is dry and making his fight on a platform eminently satisfactory to AntiSaloon Leaguers. Spokesmen for the wets including the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, will carry their pleas to the Democratic convention in Texas, as the farmers threaten to do. They do not expect any more favorable treatment from the Democrats than they received here. But they consider that Smith, if nominated, will be their platform bearer. “The Democrats,” said Henry S. Curran, spokesman for the association, “may throw us out the front door, but we will enter ( by the rear when Smith is nominated.’’ Farm Issue Baffles Meanwhile, the Republican platform makers struggled even more with a plank which dovetails with that of prohibition. Their inability to frame a satisfactory statement on farm relief, a question which agitates the Middle West quite as much as prohibition, is worrying Republican strategists. Agricultural representatives on the resolutions committee are insisting upon straight indorsement of the equalization fee, considered “vicious and unsound” by Coolidge, or on a plank which will advocate it in a roundabout manner. Stalwart Republicans like Smoot want to go as far as they can to placate the fanners, but they balk at the extreme equalization demand . The committee labored long inti) early morning hours. 13 GIRLS GET DIPLOMAS Class Graduated by Catholic Academy at Oldenburg. By Times Special OLDENBURG, Ind., June 14.

MELLON, VARE SIT ASMENDS Pennsylvania Rivals Talk and Laugh. By United Press KANSAS CITY. June 14.—Sitting side by side on the front row of the delegate section on the convention floor are Andrew W. Mellon and William S. Vare. Occasionally the abrupt Philadelphia boss says something to the quiet-spoken Pittsburgh banker which makes him laugh. Apparently they are on the best of terms, but the convention is still talking about how Vare took the play away from Mellon, and destroyed the dominating position Mellon was credited with holding. Two years ago Mellon contributed $25,000 to the campaign fund to defeat Vare for Senator, Mellon's brother gave $25,000 and his nephew $25,000 more. Vare was nominated and there apparently was harmony, but the Philadelphian had not forgotten. He had his revenge.

BY MAJOR HOOPLE (Copyright. 1928. NBA Service. Inc.) CONVENTION HALL, KANSAS CITY, June 14.—Egad folks, I am a bit weary and befuddled today. Was up all night engaged in a heated controversy over the farm relief question with a group of delegates. At one point in the debate I held three aces and a pair of kings—confound it—you will pardon me, my mind wanders from the subject, due to-loss of sleep. What I meant to say was that, I held the delegates spellbound with my thorough knowledge of the present agricultural

Is Rejected by Hooverites; East, West Battle Looms. By RAYMOND CLAPPER, United Press Staff Correspondent CONVENTION HALL, KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 14.—Republican party leaders have narrowed the vice-presidential fight down to six candidates —three from the middle west and three from the east. They will confer tonight and reach a decision which they will attempt to put through the convention Friday. The six candidates in the field now are: From the middle west, Hanford MacNider of lowa. Senator Deneen of Illinois, and Senator Curtis of Kansas. From the East —Representative Tilson of Connecticut, Senator Moses of New Hampshire, and Senator Edge of New Jersey. Dawes Eliminated Vice President Dawes has been virtually eliminated, as the Hoover forces did not want him. it was authoritatively reported this morning. Before the leaders agree upon the actual candidate, they must decide ; whether they will go to the East or take a candidate from the West, j Two fundamental differences of strategy are involved. One group wants to pick the Vice President from the farm berw to offset Hoover's alleged weakness there. That group feels that Governor Smith.' if nominated, is fairly certain of carrying the big Atlantic seaboard States and that the Republicans should concentrate their drive on holding the Middle West for the Republican ticket. • The other group takes the view that the farm belt, being at heart Republican from the time* of the Civil War, will rally to Hoover as soon as the wounds of the convention heal and that the party should mass its forces with a view of car- I rying the fight to Governor Smith in the East. Deneen Strong Candidate Hanford MacNider of lowa, j former assistant secretary of war and past national commander of the American Legion. He comes from the heart of the corn belt; appeals to the younger voters. Senator Dencen of Illinois comes ! from Lowden's State and has just; defeated Mayor William Hale Thompson and Governor Small for control of Illinois. Illinois not only! is the leader in the farm belt movement, but is the third largest State j in electoral votes and will be a pivotal fighting ground. Some believe that whoever carries Illinois will carry the election. There j is much wet strength up-State and many believe only a man like j Deneen could prevent a swing to! | Smith. : TOO ARDENT WOOER IS GIVEN FARM TERM Shoots at Girl’s Caller; Blacks Her Eyes, Breaks Her Nose.

WOMEN LOSE PLANK BATTLE Suffer Reduction of G. 0. P. Platform Influence. BY RALPH H. TURNER United Press Staff Correspondent KANSAS CITY. June 14— Women, accorded about half the delegate representation at this convention that they enjoyed at Cleveland four years ago, have also suffered a reduction of their influence, insofar as it applies to the 1928 platform. The women’s organizations have obtained insertion of only one strictly “feminine” plank. That plank took cognizanace of granting Government offices to women in the legal. diplomatic, judicial and other departments The National Woman’s Party had urged a plank favoring a constitutional amendment to grant women equal privileges with men. It would have aimed to give ecohomic equality with the other sex in various fields and human activity. The League of Women Voters had opposed such an amendment, advocating instead passage of legislation to remedy existing inequalities which it contended women suffer in competition with men. The platform committee made no mention of the subject. SAFER FOR-BABIES Drop Shown in Infant Death Rate Here. By Times Special WASHINGTON. June 14—Indianapolis is becoming a safer city for babies to live in, according to 1927 infant mortality statistics made public today by the United States Census Bureau. The statistics show that the infant death rate in Indianapolis dropped from 67.9 in 1926 to 56.1 last year. Asa result Indianapolis now is far healthier than the average American city as the infant mortality rate for the national birth registration area was 64.3 in 1927. The city’s rate was even better than that for the entire State which, although dropping nearly 20 points last year, still stands almost 3 points above the Indianapolis rate.

DURANT DRAWS PLATFORM FOR UTOPIAN STATE Philosopher Has Pipe Dream in Convention Hall of What Might Be. POINTS WAY TO IDEAL Rule by Trained Men, More Schools, Birth Control Among Planks. BY WILL DURANT KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 14— It is the evening of the second day. Already every one is weary and eager to leave soon for home. We grow impatient as we wait for the report of the committee on resolutions and platform. For four days they have been struggling to find a formulae that will straddle every question. As we wait we console ourselves with the pleasure of imagination. We let ourselves float on a film of reverie; and we hear Senator Borah reading to the convention a platform that might be. Schools for All “We believe in government by education, not by legislation. Wc propose to eliminate ignorance and superstition from America, by raising the remuneration and standard of our teachers; by providing everywhere good schools: educating adults as well as children and training the body in health as well as the mind. “We propose the establishment of free scholarships, that shall equalize opportunities of rich and poor. “To raise the funds necessary we shall reduce the expenditure for Army and Navy. To permit this reduction we shall seek treaties with every nation pledging ourselves to submit all differences to arbitration. “We promise the immediate application of this policy to Nicaragua, Mexico and South America. We applaud the efforts of Secretary Kellogg to outlaw war, and trust that he will not let his purpose be frustrated by reservations. Legalize Birth Control “We deplore economic as well as military war. To remove the strife that weakens our industries we suggest the extension of principle of arbitration to all economic disputes. We heartily approve of the organization of labor as well as of capital as a necessary step to responsible arbitration. “We believe in protecting American manufacturers by a tariff that shall equalize the costs of production here and abroad, without making for private profit and price control. We propose similarly to protect American working men by restricting immigration—not through racial discrimination—but in proportion: and as an offset, to unemployment. “We favor the extension of this same principle of protection to agriculture. “Further to raise our standard of living and our level of health and intelligence, we recommend the legalization of birth control. “The multiplication of inventions makes unnecessary and perilous the brutal multiplication of men. with the consequent subjection of women and inevitable wars. Speedy Justice “We propose to leave every man as free in his private morals and life as may consist with the necessities of social order. Therefore, we shall favor a more lenient interpretation of the eighteenth amendment. “We are more ashamed of the morals of our Government than of the morals of our people. We recognize the equal guilt of both parties In the matter of political corruption. “We shall seek to simplify court procedure, so that rich criminals may find their way to jail and crime may be deterred by speedy detection, conviction and isolation Rule by the Able “We recognize, at the bottom of most of our political ills, the defective operation of democracy: the growth of machines controlling nominations and the elimination from public life of our ablest citizens. “We propose that nominations shall be abandoned and that only such individuals shall be eligible for election as have been thoroughly and specifically trained, by instruction and experience. “Meanwhile we favor the appointment, by the President, the Governors and the mayors, of committees to deal scientifically with the problems of economic welfare, social betterment and political integrity, so that the full intelligence of the nation may be brought to bear upon the task of making America the home not merely of wealth and luxury, but of science and art, culture and freedom, happiness and peace.” A nudge from a friend. “Wake up, Smoot is beginning to read the platform.” What platform?

The Williams Hotel dining room was mentioned in tliis reading a score of times, and as it was noon, 10,000 people in the hall wished they w’ere in the dining hall of the Williams Hotel right then.

Talk to Support Democrat Nominee Gains Few Friends. BY DEXTER M. KEEZER KANSAS CITY, June 14.—The discontent and bitterness of minority groups at this convention is not going to crystallize into a third party movement this year, it can be said with a fair degree of certainty. of the minority leaders are talking third party. There are some, influenced by the heat of the present, who no doubt would vote for a third party at this moment. Most leaders, however, say they have not been deluded by the hubbub here, which in part is attributed to political agitators. A more or less concerted move to back the Democratic nominee at Houston also Is being advocated. The Nebraska delegation which came here pledged to Senator George W. Norris already has left him for the Hoover band wagon, the test vote on .seating of Texas delegates showed. Senator Nye of North Dakota, a leader in the farm demonstration, said he had wired Senator Norris for advice. Norris has been mentioned as leader of a third party. Senator Robert M. La Follette, Jr., whose father led a third party four years ago, said he did not expect a third party movement until after the Houston convention, if at all. H. G. Keeney, head of the Nebraska Farmers’ Union, predicted a third party. REZONING APPEAL LOST Judge Denies Petition to Allow Business Houses. Rezoning of the northeast corner of Meridian and Twenty-Seventh Sts. to allow business houses, was denied by Superior Jugge Joseph M. Milner sitting as special Circuit Court judge Wednesday, on an appeal from the city board of zoning appeals. Judge Milner upheld action of the city board. TTie move to rezone the corner was protested by a large group of property owners, headed by George J. Marott. Edward W. Warner, owner, and Frank F. Wooling, his representative, had sought to lease the site to the Pure Oil Company for a filling station. They cited that across the street is the Marott Hotel, and that other corners nearby are used for business purposes.

I could not arise and make the honorary escort complete. The new chairman was bitter in his speech against the Tammany Tiger, and challenged a battle between the Tiger and the G. O. P. elephant. Having hunted many/ a tiger in India astride an elephant, Senator Moses can find no one better versed in that form of excitement than myself, egad. At 1:30 p. m. somebody in the New York delegation stood up and requested an adjournment, which was granted—and if I had my say, he would be nominated, egad.

GLOOM THICK AS HOOSIERS HOOT HOOVER Leslie and Other- Leaders See Hard Road Ahead in State Vote. BUSH CAUSES WORRY Fear Is Expressed That Indiana Will Be Tough G. 0. P. Problem. BY ROSCOE FLEMING KANSAS CITY, June 14.—With the Republican national convention all over but the shouting- which will greet the nomination of Herbert Hoover, the Hoosier delegation is beginning to discuss the homeward trek. They have chartered a special train, which will leave Kansas City three hours after the convention ends. According to announcement by Elza Rogers, State chairman, the purpose of keeping them together will be to lay plans for a Republican sweep of Indiana in the fall. According to the tone around headquarters, it will be “anything but.” Watson and his advisers are so disgusted and heartsick that it is a safe prediction Hoover’s real | friends in Indiana will find it hard to keep them from laying their massive forms down on the ticket. Gloomy for Leslie In fact, such an idea appears to have occurred already to the gubernatorial candidate, Harry Leslie, who is reported very gloomy over the unflagging anti-Hoover efforts of Edgar Bush of Salem, his running mate next fall. Bush and William H. Settle, president of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation, among others, originated the last despairing antiHoover idea. The farm allies are reported to be preparing to put into effect today that of filibustering the convention over until Monday, in the hope of some Hooverites may change their minds. Bush to Settle and Settle to Bush was the double play combination all day yesterday. Settle made speeches in hotel lobbies, waving the British flag at his Hoover listeners and telling them that was their flag, but that the American flag, which he also waved, floated above the Watson candidacy. Bush and Settle led the farm parade, which was stopped at the convention doors by Kansas City’s huskiest cops. Bush pleaded in vain with Lee Nixon, sergeant-at-arms and a fellow Hoosier, to allow the farmers to parade through the convention hall. Bush Is Resentful “Can’t do it, Ed, without credentials or tickets,” said Nixon regretfully. “Our farmers will resent this,” cried Bush, then he led the parade around the hall to door after door, being turned away at each one. Bush led farmers’ committee gathered to meet Secretary Mellon late yesteerday, and he and Settle were scheduled to address a fafm meeting today. The lone Indiana vote in the Texas delegate contest case, said to be that of A. T. Beardsley of Elkhart, for seating the Hoover delegates, shows that some of the Indiana delegation, at least, are anxious to break away from the Watson candidacy and go to Hoover Beardsley’s paper, the Elkhart Truth, supported Hoover in the primary. EVANGELIST’S SOlif HELD FOR PROBATION BREAK Brother, Pal Released After Arrest on Blind Tiger Charges. Francis Vaught, 24, married, 386 S.
