Some of tlie recommendations of tlie Wlckershaiii luwr enforcement commission were udopied by congress, the most important being the transfer of the prohibition bureau from the treasury to the Department of Justice. The change was made on July 1. Col. Amos W. W. Woodcock took command of the new bureau and former Commissioner James M. Iioran was made head of a new Industrial alcohol bureau under the Treasury department. When William Howard Tuft resigned u chief Justice of the Supreme court on February 3, only live day before hi death, President Hoover immediately named Charles Evans Hughes to succeed him. The appointment was confirmed by the senate with 20 votes In opposition. Then Associate Justice Edward Terry Sanford passed away and Mr. Hoover picked Federal Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina to till the vacancy. Labor and negro organizations rose In opposition and the senate rejected the nomination by a vote of 41 to .'!!. The President then named Owen J. Roberts for the pluce and lie was accepted. Prohibition and the Election. Prohibition as a political Issue increased In Importance as tlie mouths passed. A poll conducted by the Literary Digest Indicated that the country was largely in favor of repeal of the Eighteenth amendment or at least of modification of the enforcement law. The liquor question was a great factor In the cumpaly In many states and had a decided effect on the results when the people went to the polls on November 4. The voters of Illinois, Rhode Island and Massachusetts in a referendum were against prohibition by large majorities. The election turned out to be very much of a landslide for tlie Democratic party. The Republican majority In both senate and house were almost wiped out for the next congress, and many states and cities elected Democratic officials to replace Republicans. Naturally the more rabid opponents of the administration saw in all this a severe rebuke for President Hoover and his policies; but sane opinion was that it was the natural result o( unfortunate economic conditions. With large appropriations avail able the farm board worked for the relief of agriculture by promoting and financing various and later in tlie year undertook, with some success, to stabilize the price of wheat, which had fallen rapidly in all world markets. In this latter operation the board was forced to accumulate something like 100.000,000 bushels of wheat, the future disposal of which was an unsolved problem. Chairman I.egge of the board campaigned unceasingly for reduction of wheat acreage. Diplomatic Posts Filled. Among the diplomatic appointments by the President were: Ralph II. Booth, minister to Den mark; Fred M. Dearing, ambassador to Peru; John N. Willys, ambassador to Poland ; Hanford W. MaeNidor, minister to Canada; W. Cameron Forbes, ambassador to Japan ; W. M. Jardine, minister to Egypt ; Herman Bernstein, minister to Albania; Nicholas Roosevelt, minister to Hungary, and .1. Reuben Clark, Jr., ambassador to n Mexico. Taking of the fifteenth decennial census began on April 2. The final figures, announced In November, gave the population of the United States as 122.775,040. The Increase for the decade was about 16.1 per cent. On November 2S. President Hoover nppointed William N. Doak of Virginia secretary of labor to succeed James J. Davis, who had been elected senator from Pennsylvania. The short session of congress opened December 2, and the President's message was largely concerned with measures of relief. Following to a great extent his recommendations, congress appropriated more than one hundred millions for nn eniergenry construction program designed to aid the unemployment situation, nnd also set nside n large fund for loan3 to farmers who had suffered from the drought. Mr. Hoover transmitted to the senate the revised protocols of the World court and asked early action on them.
