ENFORCEMENT TO BE PLEDGE OF DEMOCRATS State Campaign to Stress Corruption in G. 0. P. as First Issue. “Vigorous enforcement” of liquor laws, pledged in the national Democratic platform, will be the promise of Indiana Democratic candidates while they arraign Republican commtion in office as the dominant issue of the State campaign. Such was the judgment of the Democratic State commitee and State candidates in conference here Monday when it was decided to "go down the line” for the entire ticket, from "Smith and Robinson down.” The national platform’s pledge for rigid enforcement of the prohibition laws provided for Hoosier Democrats a welcome way out of an embarassing situation. The modification views expressed by presidential nominee Alfred E. Smith were admittedly not in accord with those of the Indiana ticket. But it was held that the platform binds the presidential nominee as if by contract to tighten liquor law enforcement and this fact will be stressed during the campaign. Organization plans were advanced at the meeting so that Democratic forces will be in full battle formation by Aug. 15. Covenants made in State and national platform will guide the campaign, said R. Earl Peters, State chairman. “It is already evident’ he said, "that the Republican managers are again striving to make the issues upon which this campaign shall be waged, but in that respect they will not be successful. House-Cleaning First "The maneuvers now being made by Republican managers to divert the attention of the electorate from the unspeakable corruption that has flourished in Indiana are so transparent as to be understood by everybody. Albert Stump, nominee for United States Senator, and Frank C. Dailey, nominee for Governor, were among candidates, who addressed the gathering. Stump said he proposed to make an “out and out” dry fight and reminded the organization that the President cannot change the Constitution nor the laws written by Congress. Dailey reiterate and his contention that a housecleaning of State government is the paramount issue. Mrs. A. P. Flynn of Logansport, State women’s chairman, said Indiana women are mors interested in a “clean-up” than in prohibition. “Smith has promised to stand on the platform and enforce the law,” she said, “and he would do better than those who have had the opportunity and did not enforce it.” Advisors Named Mrs. Flynn appointed as members of the women’s advisory board Mrs. John W. Kern, Mrs. Samuel M. Ralston and Miss Gertruds Fanning McHugh, Indianapolis; Mrs. Harry McMullen, Aurora; Mrs. Pearl Lee Vernon, Martinsville; Miss Lucy Cliijger, Brazil, and Mrs. L. G. Ellingham, Ft. Wayne. Seven former State chairmen have been named by Peters as the men’s advisory committee. Each district chairman and vice chairman will name advisory committees of seven and the plan will be carried down to the precincts. The date has not been set for the campaign send-off at Salem, Ind. Dick Heller of Decatur will begin organization of first voters at once. Other bureau heads are to be named soon. USE OF MALT DROPS Production of Brewing Material Slumps Sharply in U. S.

Stamp of Army Discipline Seen on War Officer, Now ‘Non-Com.’ BY DAN M. KIDNEY Discipline is the distinguishing mark of a good soldier. It is the thing that permits a man who has commanded his regiment in war days to return to a figrst sergeantcy and “carry on” without complaining. Os such is the career of war-time Major Martin C. Rudolph, now first sergeant of headquarters company of the 11th Inf., Ft. Benjamin Harrison. , Twenty-seven years of service, with four years fighting in two campaigns, has made Sergeant Rudolph a weathered veteran much be-medaled. Most of this time has been spent with the Eleventh Infantry, which he calls “his outfit,” a term of endearment that was soon learned by the citizen soldiers during the World War. Went to Philippines The seasoned sergeant enlisted in the Eleventh for the Philippine campaign back in 1901. He spent two years in active service pulling down insurrections in the islands. For this he carries the medal of the Philippine campaign, which was voted by Congress. In 1904, his first enlistment up, Rudolph “took on” again in the coast artillery and served on the Atlantic seaboard. His home had been in the East Then he returned again to his first love, the old Eleventh. Meanwhile he had married, Mrs. Dorothy C. Rudolph was a southern girl and used to soldiers, having been reared at Charleston, S. C., site of old Ft. Sumpter. Becomes Major in France When the World War came, Sergeant Rudolph went overseas as a captain in charge of one of the Eleventh Infantry companies. He saw fighting aplenty and emerged a major with numerous decorations, including the Distinguished Service Cross, Croix de Guerre and the Victory Medal with three bars for

REED PROVES JOY, DESPAIR OF SMITHLEADERS Senator’s Aid as Fighter and Orator Offset by Fiery Attacks. BY LEO R. SLACK NEW YORK, July 17.—Senator James A. Reed of Missouri already is the joy and the despair of Governor A1 Smith and his campaign managers. As an individual, Reed probably had more popular appeal than any other man in the Democratic party outside of Simth himself. As an earnest, two-fisted fighting man, he has no peer in Congress and certainly not among the Democrats. Asa campaign orator, they don’t come any better. But Reed has a pet political aversion. This is Herbert Hoover, the Republican nominee. Reed in New York Wednesday indicated his notion of a proper attack on Hoover. Pacing nervously up and down his hotel room he dictated a statement to reporters assailing Hoover for everything he could think of. A few hours later, John J. Raskob, the new chairman of the Democratic national committee, making his initial speech, indicated a different notion. “Mud slinging, so-called, always makes more enemies than friends,” said Raskob. “I should like to pledge every speaker and every worker for our cause to constructive policies. In our business life today we succeed by constructive work and by having better goods to sell than our competitors. There is every reason why j tjre Democratic party should follow 1 this constructive business policy in this campaign,” he declared. The question now concerning Democrats is, will Reed accept this suggestion? Reed will brook no dictation, Woodrow Wilson could not dictate to him during the war. Probably neither Smith nor Raskob can edit his speeches. Reed’s style will be cramped If he has to curb his feelings; Raskob’s program will be wrecked if , Reed is allowed to run loose.

Six lives besides his own depended on the coolness of Lieutenant Myron M. Wood when the motor of his Dougles transport plane went dead over the Potomac River near Washington. He called to the others, all enlisted men, to crowd toward the tail of the machine. Then, on an even keel, he glided into the water. Here is the wreck after the seven men, three of whom were slightly injured, had been taken off.

CORN BELT HITS AT REPUBLICANS Farmers Commend Stand of Democrats on Relief. Bu United Press DES MOINES, lowa, July Improbability that the farmers of the corn belt will become politically active this year was seen today as resolutions condemning the Republican party and commending the Democrats for their farm relief program were adopted by the corn belt committee. Action of the Republican convention for “indorsing the Administration’s attitude towards agriculture” was condemned, while the Democratic pledge of farm relief legislation was praised. Resolutions adopted by the committee, which claims to represent 1,000,000 farmers, state “we oppose the Hoover-Coolidge policy of industrialization of America at the expense of agriculture,” and accused the Republican party of “closing the door on a just and needy cause.” The committee also denounced the “effort to obscure or submerge the issue by appeals of religious intolerance, or wet and dry prejudices” although Governor Smith was not mentioned by name.”
