"Anyone reading Article X.' said Mr. Hoover, "will realiite that tVoie is nothin---in the phraseology that denotes a binding- obligation . l;u'. there is an implication that apparently has generally come to be reg-ar led as constituting a Mtronpf moral responsibility.

WILSON THE FJCATIRE

In effect the foreign rtlaUoc feature of the platform makes the rreat issue before this convention, clear-cut and predominant Woodrow "Wlliort, Within the resolutions committee rm will be enacted before next Wednesday events which may seal the fate of th two-year peace plan controversy. The second test of party solidarity will b precipitated by the prohibiti-iri issue. There is unmistakably a strong force here against any plank whatsoever on the 1-iejuor question. Liquor interests have their lobbyists planted in every hotel. DON'T WAST IT MOISTKSE Krvan and several other strong rn-T will gie h&ttie against, any attempt to moisten the party platform. Th Tammany delegation is credited wits bavins a light wine and beer plank tr propose. Boss Murphy is the usua sphynx on ail matters. There is a story about that Taggart of Indiana is coming m dry as a bone. Ono tentative piank on the liquor -Itiejition said to be favored by certain administration followers and others, advocates the resumption of the manufacture of light wines and beers. It approves the aboiition of saloons taking the position that they were a social and economic menace. Bat it helds that the Volstead act, in its present form, is someth.ng of an injustice te poor men. It is pointed out that when prohibition became operative, the law permitted all men to purchase as much liquor as their means permitted, provided H was kept in the home and consumed there. DI(nHttATIO C.HAIIGEO "In this way," the tentative plan reads, "th" poor man has been discriminai'. d against, because, not ha-. ing funds, b- could not stock up with liquor and therefore, only the rich are now privileged to drink. If light wines and beers were permitted, the discrimination r.o longer would exist." The administration forces will fa--or woman suffrage without qualification and certain elements here are strong for a plank calling for tax reductions and revisions, a bitter fight is brewing on the question of tax on luxuries. Evidence today was that the convention, if i waits for the report of th resolutions committee before starting nomination balloting, will he seriously delayed and all of the wjaeacrea were of the opinion that the Democratic candidates would be named in wee small hours of iji morning of the glorious Fourth of July: 2 4843-4845 ALEXANDER AVE.
