STARK'S LIQUOR TALK STARTLES CHURCH GROUP Ex-Prosecutor Says Drys Should Stress Education, Less Legislation. Views contrary to those held by rrdent advocates of prohibition were expressed at a meeting Monday night of leaders of the Allied Youth organization by Judson L. Stark, former prosecutor.

Stark, substituting for Emsley W. Johnson, attorney, asserted that foes of liquor are depending too much upon legis lat ion and not enough upon education in their efforts to make America dry. An audience of only twenty heard Stark at Cen tr a 1 C h r i stian church, and many of them took a stand directly opposed to his. He asserted, in

his talk, that he had been offered liquor while he was prosecutor as a guest in homes of friends and that he ignored the offers. Among the audience were some who asserted Stark should have caused arrest of his friends. “It is more, noble to be true to ,the laws of the land than to friends,” was the gist of what Stark’s critics had to say. Attitude is Surprise Alpheus C. Robbins, chairman of the organization, which is affiliated with others in support of the eighteenth amendment, said today: “We arc surprised at the speaker's attitude on the question. I 'am glad that he made such a talk, though, because it has aroused members of our organization.” The group has a membership of 500, according to Robbins. Stark declared today that one published report of his remarks was inadequate and he had not been quoted fully and there was misquoting. He reiterated his stand, however, that education is more important than legislation, asserting, ‘‘ln practical protection of our children against liquor and gambling, we will have to depend more upon education than on removing temptation by law.” Dry Stand Reiterated Stark asserted he is a dry, but, , pleaded for “an intelligent consid- ; nation” of the prohibition question. . “I don’t intend for any group to make a hypocrite out of me,” nr said. “What do they want me to do—talk like a parrot?” He said that during his terms as i prosecutor he had tried to enforce j the dry law as he did all other laws, j He declared he did not "run j away” from the meeting Monday | night, his departure immediately at j the close of his speech being due to another engagement.

National Pre-Convention President Vote Proposed

La Follette Would Modify Nominating System Used for 100 Years. By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, March 15.—Senator Robert M. La Follette today took steps to secure early consideration of legislation providing for a nation-wide advisory referendum vote on presidential candidates for nomination before the national convention meet in June. He believes his bill has a chance of passage, in spite of the fact thatit modifies the presidential nominating system in use 100 years. Senator George W. Norris, chairman of the judiciary committee to which the bill has been referred, strongly supports the plan it contains, and may be able to bring it to the floor of the senate for an early vote. La Follette’s bill provides the machinery by which the voters of all states may express their preference among candidates within their party, at the polls June 7, and every four years thereafter. “Unless the American people are offered a popular vote in advance of the Chicago conventions, the Republican nominee will be named by delegates controlled by the use of federal patronage,” says La Follette. "The Democratic nominee will be named under the two-thirds rule as the result of secret deals and trades among the bosses of powerful political machines in the larger cities of the country.” unemploymenFTosing Legion Drive Thinning Jobless Bank 10,000 a Day, Says Stevens.

BY BEN STERN npHE fathers of this country (poor fellows) exhibited rare sagacity and wisdom when they limited the term of a congressional representative to two years. There must be something in the atmosphere of the house of representatives, known to Washington correspondents by the impolite but not incorrect term of “monkey house,” that changes an ordinarily rather bright chap into a subject fit for an alienist’s attention. However, let us get to our stint. No doubt you lately have been reading a great deal about the sales tax now before the house, which is expected to raise $600,000,000. A third reader schoolboy can answer the question as to who will pay by saying simply “US.” In fact, this is so plain that even some of the Hoosier congressmen are climbing on the wagon of opposition. Os course a primary is just around the corner (not the one you’re looking for) and an election is coming up in November, so the boys want to get in line. So far five congressmen, all Democrats have announced against the sales tax. They are: Eugene Crowe, Bedford: Dr. W. H. Larrabee, New Palestine, who will represent part of this county next year if nominated and elected; Louis Ludlow, present Marion county representative; Samuel Pettengill, South Bend, and Courtland C. Gillen, Greencastle. tt n a While you’re looking at the records, here’s how the Indiana congressmen voted on the question of bringing out of committee the Beck-

Evansville, and Pettengill (both of whom had already announced their stand), and Glenn Griswold cf Peru, Democrats; Albert Vestal of Anderson, and Will R. Wood of Lafayette, Republicans. Wood explained his vote was not a “wet vote,” but that he voted aye because he did not believe the judiciary committee should be permitted to smother legislation. He would have joined the drys on the final vote on submission of the amendment. Those voting dry were: Ludlow, Larrabee, Canfield, Crowe, Gillen, and Arthur Greenwood. Democrats, and David Hogg and Fred S. Purnell, Republicans. There's the record. What do you think of it?
