DEMOCRATS TO DECIDE ON SITE OF CONVENTION Chicago, G. 0. P. Choice, Looms as Seat of Meeting. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—Chicago probably wlil be selected for the 1932 Democratic national convention when the national committee makes its choice here next Saturday. Republicans recently voted to hold their nominating convention at Chicago, June 14. Not since 1884, the year of the Cleveland-Blaine campaign, have the two major parties selected the same point for their presidential kick-offs. San Francisco, Atlantic City, Kansas City and possibly one or two other cities may make bids for the convention. Some leading Democrats would like to §o to San Francisco, recalling the royal reception they received there in 1920. Climate and entertainment combined to make this convention a pleasant experience in contrast to the usual sweltering heat and catch-as-catch-can conditions. Suggest June 21 However, the expense of a transcontinental trip for many of the large eastern delegations, the cen- . tral location of Chicago, its new aircooled hall, large hotel facilities, and the strong financial backing have caused most party leaders to prefer the mid-west site. The tentative date suggested Is Tuesday, June 21. This would be one week after the Republican convention. Earlier suggestions that Demoratg change their usual tactics and meet before the Republicans have met with opposition. One adviser to those high in authority on the committee said it would be a confession of weakness to reverse the traditional order of meeting at this time. Leaders to Attend Dinner Saturday’s meeting of the national committee will be the climax of a week of party activity, making an enthusiastic entrance into the 1932 presidential arena. Leaders from all over the country will attend the Jackson day dinner Friday night when the three living ex-candidates, Alfred E. Smith, John W. Davis and James M. Cox will speak. Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland is expected to be presented formally as a candidate at a dinner in Baltimore Thursday night. Two of the men most talked of in connection with the nomination. Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York and Newton D. Baker of Ohio, will not be present at any of the party gatherings. National Chairman John J. Raskob is arriving here in advance to I prepare for the meeting.

DRYS PREPARE TO BATTLE WET POLITICAL AIMS *our War Just Starting/ Says Methodist Leader. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 —Because they are among those being blamed for “hard times,” prohibition leaders are preparing to fight stubbornly during the coming year to prevent threatened modification or repeal of the eighteenth amendment. The return of prosperity will “undoubtedly help our cause,” Dr. Clarence True Wilson claimed today. The general secretary of the board of temperance, prohibition and public morals of the Methodist Episcopal church, thinks "it is funny” that prohibition is being blamed by the wine and beer advocates for many of the ‘ion’s financial ills while it is given no credit for its contribution toward ten years of prosperity. The battle to retain the prohibition laws intact will start this week when senate committees begin hearings on bills proposing to modify the the Volstead law and to authorize a referendum. It will continue throughout the session of congress, be resumed at the national conventions if efforts are made to nominate wet candidates or write a wet platform, and will carry on in the presidential and congressional campaigns. The preliminary program will be outlined at. a meeting in Washington soon of the Anti-Saloon League, when Governor “Alfalfa Bill” Murray of Oklahoma, a prospective Democratic candidate for President, will be one of the speakers. General direction of the fight will be left to the newly-organized federation of dry forces. "Our fight is just getting started,” Dr. Wilson said. “We regard the new year as the most vital in the history of prohibition. We will make the most vigorous fight in our history to prevent any change in the dry laws.” The depression, he admitted, has caused a severe decline in collections to finance the dry organizations.
