Choose a spot where water won't stand around the bushes after heavy rains. For the same reason, mound up soil, don't leave a hollow spot around the trangplanted bushes. It your whole lot is low and slow draining, raise your roses a few inches above surrounding soil. Prepare soil well at root level, Mix a pound of bone meal into subsoil under each bush.

GOSPEL SINGER—Prohibition Party convention audience was led in singing of hymns by Byron Crouse, Wilmore, Ky.,

who doubled in brass with his trombone.

Lloyd B. Walton

By NOBLE REED

IKE an old-fashioned religious revival meeting, the Prohibition Party's national convention was launched here with a roar of gospel hymn singing. And most of the speech-making was tailored to evan-

gelistic appeals on high spiritual values Thus, the whole convention theme centered around the urgent demand that government and politics must be reformed on the basis of Christian principles with a return to universal faith in God. One of the main planks in the party's platform is a stand for separation of church and state But the convention itself is being held in the auditorium of the First Baptist Church at Meridian and Vermont Sts. = - =" NATIONALCHAIRMAN Gerald Overholt explained that the religious atmosphere of the political convention was the re-

sults of party members’ deep convictions in Christian faith and the “need of the nation for

leadership of a political party of high Christiait principles.” The usual high-pressure rivalry of party factionalism, a mark of major political conventions was conspicious by its absence. Solidarity on pects of righteousness was stressed in speeches from the platform with little or no evidence of bickering on party issues.

THE AUDIENCE applauded Chairman Overholt’s keynote speech attacking what he termed “corruption in both Republican and Democratic parties." ; Convention delegates reached the high point of party eénthuslasm when speakers predicted that the “time is not far off” when the people of America will banish both Republicfin

and Democratic parties from power in government and society.

Party officials expressed confidencé that the Prohibition candidates will get more support at the polls next year than ever before. In past presidential elections, the Prohibition Party polled only a small fraction of one per cent of total votes cast. The biggest gain was shown in 1948 when the .party's. candidates received 103,000 in the 19 states where the party was on the ballots. J » » TOTAL VOTES cast in the nation was more than 50 million, Back in 1944 the Prohibition Party polled only 74,000 votes. “The gain in 1948 over the vote in 1944 was 40 per cent,” sald Chairman Overholt. “Information we have on gains over 30 states where we expect to be on ballots next year indicates the Prohibition Party will receive close to one million year," he said.
