MLY REJECTS PLANK PLEDGING FOR RECALL

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 8. Former Governor J. Frank Hanly, Prohibition candidate for the presidency of the United States, will not support one plank In the Prohibition platform at the coming election. That plank is the one endorsing the Initiative,. referendum and recall. Mr. Hanly made this known today in his speech of acceptance after his official notification of nomination, at his home here, by Robert H. Patton of Illinois, chairman of the Prohibition national convention which met at St. Paul. Mr. Hanly, after setting forth the ideals of the party regarding the abolition of the liquor traffic, said: Hanly States Stand. "There is In the platform one plank not reported by the committee on resolutions, but adopted by the convention which I can neither approve nor accept; which I cannot defend in the campaign; which, if elected, I would oppose, and which, if , brought to me as a proposed law, I would veto. "I refer to the following: " "We favor the initiative, referendum and recall.' "My statement in regard to this Is based upon the assumption that the declaration implies approval of the initiative, referendum and recall in state and national affairs. ; Believe It Harmful. "Tf po intended, I cannot yield it my assent. So applied I believe them I to be subversive of representative con- J Ptitutional government. 1

"Wherever they have obtained they have wrought confusion and harm.

Where the Initiative and referendum have been applied to the amendment of constitutions, they have made these solemn and organic charters liquid as water, and volatile as oil. They will do the same to the federal constitution. " All three are revolutionary, but not progressive. They are the weapons of the bad oftener than they are the defense of the good.

"In my judgment nothing could be

fraught with greater peril to state and national prohibition of the traffic in intoxicating liquors than the application of these three principles to the state and national governments.

TO REQUIRE FIGHT
