Saunders, colored pastor of the Shiloh Wlaptist church of Indianapolis, at the opening of the Republican State convention at Cadle Tabernacle. Thursday morning; was entertaining, ; to saythe —least, for Al the conclusion of the prayer there came a spontaneous burst -of hand-clapping. Rev. Saunders called down a blessing <>n the Grand Vid Party, Presi- / dent Hoover, Governor Leslie, Sena .tor Watson ar.d everj one . bel-ngim: to the party.

A political convention is a huge, building tilled with delegates, county chiuftnen, politicians, spectators,: all milling about and trying to find . out how the, delegates from every other county are going to vote ,>r, the next ballot. For the astute county ■Chairman, if he is a good politician, . does not want his delegates -to be voting for the wrong man on the last few' ballots. The' firsT; ballot does 'not . mean much, for the votes cast are complL’ mentary and when there is a, huge field of -candidates- to choose from, no one candidate can pel a majority i The managers and. politicians would collapse, if such an unheard of thing would occiirr, for past of (hem would not- be on the band wagjon. But after the f ’. and while .the first ballot is still being an no.uhced, every one is guessing, ening closely to every rumor eve.yone has infoimation and is willing to tell eveiy- re else who will listen so that his county will lie rigid. On the second ballot, votes are taken away from the lets popular candidate and given to slrongei candidates. Still no one has a majority. The real politician tries at the time to have his delegates cast theii voles for the three or four stronger candidates. - , It would be tragic if the eventual winner would not receive some votes from the county on every ballot. The ideal situation is to have the county’s votes show increasing strength for the winner on every ballot. After withdrawals, the trading and other maneuvers have taken place,, and when the “tide is flowing towards one man, then pie collapse f the remaining candidates hopes all except one is pitiful tp behold. Counties that have already voted, change their ballots, throwing alt their votes to the one that is winning. Counties that have showed little or no strength for the popular candidate throw aside the other candidates to give their v te.- t the winning one In thoosing a candidate, a politicial convention is not so much concerned by which man will make the best candidate but which will eventually receive the majority of votes, or the necessary two thirds, as the case may be. All the anxiety to get on the band ; wagon is patronage, political patronage. . .ft. — Rev. Wtn. Thompson and family, John Boley and wife of Polo, 111., spent a few days this week ,in the home of Rev. and Mrs. Jarboe. The Rev. Thompson is a relative of Mrs. Jarboe. Rev.

ROCKEFELLER EXPLAINS CHANGE IN OWN VIEWS ON PROHIBITION

In a letter to Nicholas Murray Butler, John D. Rockefeller Jr., explained his change in view regarding the HSth amendment. The following is = t he copy of the letter, sent to the Syracuse Journal: 26 Broadway, N, Y., June 6, 1932. Pres. Nicholas M. Butler, Columbia University, New York City. My dear .Pres. Butler: The morning papers print a resolution which it is stated you are to offer for incorporation in the platform of the Republican -party at the National Convention in Chicago next week. I quote the resolution in. full: “RESOLVED, That® we reaffirm thje declaratiofa of Republican doctrine made by the Republican National Convention of i 860,. when it.nmnnr.ted Abt: ham Lincoln for president, namely:’ ‘That the maintenance inviolate of the rights of the states and especially the right ■ of each state to order and control its o\yn d- estic institutions according, to its own.judgment ex- • r tfme gs powers on which the perfection and endurance of our po- . JTtical fabric depends'; and That we a- •■•esflirm the declaration of Republican doctrine made by the Republican National Convention of 1884, when it nominated James G. Blaine for President, nameiy: ‘Jhe people of the United State.-, in their >iguni?ed .-a-pacity, ■ ■m.-s.vtete a nation, and -not a mere confedei at y of the national government .is suof its -.national duties: but the states b. reset ved .; ruhts which sh< uld ■ faithfully maintained; each should be guarded with jealous c. so that the harmony of oui syst e; . of■; A n.ay t-e is: ethe U late.’ To 'he end that-these declarations of principle may be made effec-tive.-that the distribution of powers between the states “and the nation a originijUj est ablisheid bj the C mst ‘ t be presei ved; and that the several states may be • <» • public opinion, shall direct and 4 cast-Jn, t‘» deal pr f tnptly, effectively aifd; constructivelywith the Inez's of the tl'aii'ic in . the light of the experience of our own and other nations, we ask that the ('• ngress submit a. prd-jy--ai to repeal' = t'he Eighteenth be <.e.t-,i'ted. for ratification' by inventions of the people of the <-a < al -• .a- ip icc : dance w ith the provisions Os Article .V of ’he ‘Un. . ■ ■ : ''.er: 1 i :ij e.de.!. ti e Republi'.ill authority to secure the adoption ■ I such u' >?- f- r the i ‘ • '.> 1 .. i■ ’ .’. by.';,.'he' sex eral -state. :»s. will promote ten>- ■ Ic> ■ •- ■ abolish the: #st led; and brmg the '■ liquor trattic . it* . : o|”i jt e j t undet ; > ?comple*e pnhri.- supervisi n' and \V ; e the Eighteenth Aniendn.e • remains upon the . statute ks it should- Le obeyed." With 'to- ;e- iatmn I .in, in complete ; athy and’ earnestly hope not only that it will be incorporated in the Republican platform, but ;hat a ■ .. i ■< - , ,tlor.- a ill be inin the I r<- - plat* he < lestion of ep< -■ of the field of ■ part -an My p sition may -urprise you, - as it will many of my friends'. 1 was born'a tee-totaler; all my life I have been a teetotaler-on principle.

TO LIBERATE 15.900 PHEASAN IS THIS YE AR INDIANAPOLIS; Ind., The conservation department hopes to liberate I<s,o>>o pheasants this year to add to the thousands of these birds already released. As the pheasants are protected in all seasons until such lime it is deemed they are sufficiently plentiful to start an open shooting season on them, the birds each year u ill reproduce in a natural state. - ’ In addition to the 15,000 birds the department expects to raise, more than 10,600 pheasant eggs will be purchased lay the department and given to 150 fish and game protective clubs, Izaab' Walton Chapters, and other sportsmen’s organizations. These eggs will be hatched under hens and liberated upon reaching a certain age, according to Walter Shirts, superintendent of the fish and game division, in charge of this work In the last week in May there was in coursie of incubation at the Jasper-Pulaski Game Reserve, 6.72 Q eggs of the ring-neck variety; 13 wild turkey. 135 mallard duck, 16

previously stated, from the year 1900 up to and including the date of the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment,: the contributions! of my father and myself to all branches of the Auti-Saloon League, federal and state 7 the only contributions made by us in support of prohibition legis1 lation - aggregated $35u,000. ! When the Eighteenth Amendment was passed I earnestly hoped,—with a host of advocates of temperance that it would be generally supported by public opinion and { thus the day be hastened w hen the; value to society of men With mirids and bodies free from the undermining effects of alcohol would be generally realized. That this has not been the result, but rather that drinking generally has increased: that the speakeasy has replaced the saloonk not only unit for unit, but probably two-fold if got three-fold; that a [Vast - army of lawbreakers has -been recruited and financed on a colossal scale: that many of our best citizens, piqued at what they regarded as an infringement of their private rights, have lopenly and unabashed disregarded 'the Eighteenth Amendment; that as '.an inevitable result respect for all law has been greatly lessened; that ' crime has increased to an unprecedented degree I have slowly and 1 reluctantly come to believe. I am not unmindful of the great blessing which the abolition of the saloon has been to our country or of 'certain other benefits! that* have resulted -from the adaption of the I Eighteenth Amendment. It is my profound conviction, however, that these . benefits, important and far ! reaching as they Are. are Ynore than I outweighted by the evils that have |developed: and flourished since .its ; adoption, evils which, unless promptly checked, are likely to lead to conditions unspeakably worse than those ’which prevailed before. • : It is not to be expected that the i.epeai >-f the .Eighteenth Amendment ‘ ill r itself end ail these evils and restore public respect for law. I bellieve. h 'wexer, that its repeal as a I prerequisite to the attainment of that i 1 a;.--, iii4< rn.ed that should reI peal become effective, all the maichinery for controlling the liquor traffic built up in the respective ■ s ar.d in the nation throughout ■the many year«; prior to the enacti merit of the Eighteenth Amendment, would with few exceptions, be, in force, strengthened by various federal laws and court decisions having t - do with the regulation of inter--state commerce. Moreover, were the ' Eighteenth Amendment to be repealled, sufficiedt tune ought to be’given I txefore repeal became effective to 'permit the various states through 'legislative action representing public i Opinion to-set- up such new guards or methods with reference to , the. .handling of alcoholic beverages |as seemed best calculated to ' insure (adequate and proper control of the I traffic-. in the interest of temperance, ai d at. the same time safeguard the : normal liberty of action of thia indii vidua!. There are many who, feeling, as 1 do that the Eighteenth Amendment has not accomplished the object which its enactment sought to attain, would willingly favor .its repeal were some alternate method that gave p; "ii.ise of better results offered as a -übstitute. In 'my judgment it w ill be so difficult for our people as a whole to agWe in advance on what the substitute should be, and so unlikely that any one method will fit the entire nation, that repeal will be far less possible if coupled with an alternate measure For that reason I i the more strongly approve the siin- ; p|e, clear cut position you are pro- : posjng to recommend and which I shall count it not only a duty buV a privilege to support. My hope is that the' tremendous effort put forth in behalf of the E;ghteenth Ainendnient by millions of earnest, consecrated people will be : continued in effective support of ! practical measures for the promotion of genuine temperance. To that cause my ow n efforts will ever be devoted. Very sincerely, John D. Rockefeller, Jr.

I weighed 243 lbs. 6 months ago and now I weigh l*»0 lbs.” Take one half teaspoonful of Kruschen Salts in a glass of hot water every morning cut down on fatty meats, potatoes and sweets—now you knqw the safe way to lose unsightly fat. For a trifling sum you can get a jar of Kruschen Salt's tha : t lasts 4 weeks at any drugstore fin the world—but be sure and get Kruschen —your health comes first.
