HOOVER GIVEN ! STERN WARNING BY DRY CHIEFS Leaders Seek to Head Off Wet Plank Movement by G. 0. P. Bosses. By firrlppi.Hntrnrrl \nrtpaprr AlHnttrr j WASHINGTON, April 22. Or- 1 ganized drys are putting President I Hoover “on the spot,” in a con- j certed movement to prevent the Re- j publican party from adopting a moist or wet plank at Chicago. Alarmed by desertion of all but i two cabinet members to a repeal! or resubmission program, they are 1 serving notice on the White House j that they elected Hoover ns a dry : in 1928 and expect him to stay that way. These warnings carry the j threat that they would prefer to! punish a deserting dry by voting for an honest wet. In the event Hoover agrees to run on a repeal, modification or referendum platform, dry leaders declare their followers will vote for an outright Democrat wet or stay at home. Such utterances have come up from Dr. Clarence True Wilson, executive secretary of the Methodist board of temperance, prohibition and public morals, and from E. Scott Mcßride, Anti-Saloon League chieftain. Formal notice of this sentiment was served on Hoover Wednesday W'hen representatives of the Women's Committee for Law Enforce- ! ment presented to him a resolution condemning evasive tactics, request- i ing that our foreign ambassadors be forced to conform to the dry ! iw\ and reminding the President of his previous statements against repeal or modification. Mrs. Henry W. Peabody, chairman of the national committee, declared the drys would tolerate no fooling. She handed to Hoover the “be it resolved” section of the resolution. It said: 'Be it resolved. That we cannot; accept any recommendation by cither party to present a dry candidate on a wet platfrom, since we | could not trust the sincerity of any ! candidate willing to lend himself to such plan.” Mrs. Peabody did not divulge whether Hoover made any com- | ment. The President is understood to have informed party leaders he would run on a wet platform If the : convention adopts one. When asked what her women would do if Hoover carried out this pledge, Mrs. Peabody pointed significantly to the resolution. TEACHERS’ PAY CUT Sullivan Orders Slash of 18 Per Cent In Salaries.
