By EDWARD W. PICKARD LET each state decide for itself whether It will be wet or dry. That, briefly. Is the prohibition plunk adopted by the Republican hutlotiul co n v e h- .wrxs"V . .;:, , t. tuctuieu Dy sldcnt Hoover, and the admiulstra- f tlon forces, In com- plete control of the i convention, put It J 1 uver unci unc ui the most upronrlous '& sessions in twenty 15 E a President Hoover years of Republican Republic-an . conventions. The plank Is not pleasing to the very wet Republicans and is completely obnoxious to the dry ones. Under the Republican plan congress will at all times be in general, control of liquor law enforcement en-forcement In those states that elect to remain dry. Also, congress will control the manufacture, sale and distribution of liquor within the borders of the wet states. With the platform out of the way the convention proceeded to do what had been whispered In some quarters they might do. They renominated re-nominated Herbert Hoover for President and Charles G. Curtis for Vice President The debate on the prohibition plank was the only thing that saved this convention from . being a com-plete com-plete flop as far as thrills and excitement ex-citement nre concerned. In all other respects It was about as tame as a town liieeling. ttie selection of standard hearers being a foregone fore-gone conclusion. James K. Oar-field, Oar-field, chairman of the resolutions committee, led the tight for the Hpover plank, while Senator Bingham Bing-ham and Nicholas Murray P.utler headed - the ! forces demanding a plank Insisting on the repeal of the Eighteenth amendment. Senator Bingham's plank was defeated de-feated by a vote of 681 to 472. An analysis of the vote shows that the Republicans In the south swting'ltife balance against the northerneast- ern and middle western states which furnish the bulk of the electoral elec-toral votes for the election of Republican Re-publican Presidents. The Hoover plank as adopted reads In part as, follows: "We, do not favor a submission limited to the issue of retention or repeal. For ihejAmerlcnn nation never In Its history has gone back-ward, back-ward, and In this case the progress which; has been thus far nlade must be preserved, while the evils must be eliminated. "We, therefore, believe that the people should have an opportunity to pass upon a proposed amendment amend-ment the provision of which, while retaining the federal government power to preserve the gains already made In dealing with the evils Inherent In-herent In the liquor traffic, shalP'ai-low shalP'ai-low states to deal with the problem as their citizens' may determine, but subject always to the power of the federal government to protect thost states where prohibition may exist and safeguard our citizens tverywhere from the return of the saloon and Its attendant abuses. "Such an amendment should. . be promptly submitted tothe states by 1 congress, to be acted upon by state conventions called for that sole purpose In accordance - with the provisions of Article V of the Constitution, Con-stitution, and adequately safeguarded safeguard-ed so as to be truly representative." The entire platform, as submitter submit-ter by the resolutions committee, was adopted by a viva voce vote. Some of the high lights follow: Approval given an emergency relief fund for loans to states In. need. No direct federal relief to Individuals. Shorter work week, shorter . work day, legislation to stimulate stim-ulate home building, continuance continu-ance of restricted Immigration. Immigra-tion. Prompt and . drastic reduction of public expenditure urged. - Further aid pledged through federal farm board, protective protec-tive tariff duties, assistance assist-ance to solve problems of controlling production. Full protection to Incapacitated Incapacitat-ed veterans pledged. Cash payment of bonus not mentioned. men-tioned. Favor extension of tariff protection pro-tection to natural resource Industries. Committed to maintenance of navy on basis of parity with any nation. Opposed to fur- ' ther army personnel reduc-. tlon. j American entry Into league court favored. Settlement of international difficulties without with-out "alliances or foreign partnership" pledged. Rigid laws favored to stamp out activities of gangsters, racketeers and kidnapers. Relentless warfare pledged against narcotic traffic. Need cited for revision of banking bank-ing laws on sounder basis. ' Retention of "gold standard pledged. Participation Jn In-, ternatlonal conferences on monetary questions. Existing status of government in Hawaii should be maintained.- , . President's "constructive program"' pro-gram"' lauded as an attack on the depression wifh"far-reach-lng objectives, but entailing no danger to the budget." Republican control of the federal fed-eral government will "Insure the orderly recovery of the country." WHILE the Republicans were busy In Chicago, the Democrats Demo-crats made small progress in settling set-tling their pre-conventlon squabbles. squab-bles. One development was the rumor, originating In Chicago, that Melvin A. Traylor, the banker who Is one of the dark horse possibili ties . for the Presidential nomination,- might be put on the Roosevelt ticket in second place. It was said the New York governor would" welcome wel-come this move. The Traylor campaign cam-paign managers seemed to think the better ticket would be "Traylor and Roosevelt." .Support of the nominee, whoever he may be, was pledged by leaders of the party In a united appeal for completion of the party's $1,500,000 victory fund before the opening of the national convention on June 27. The message to the rank and file was signed by Alfred E. Smith, Gov. Franklin Roosevelt, Jouett Souse, Owen D. Young, Newton D. Baker, former Gov. James M. Cox, John W. Davis, and 54 other leaders. Wright Pat-man "npRAGEDY stepped in to halt the debate of Representative Wright Patman's soldier bonus bill when Representative E. Esllck (Dem., Tenn.) drop ped dead on the floor of the house while making an Impassioned Impas-sioned plea for the Immediate payment of the $2,400,000,000 bonus. Shocked by the dramatic turn of events, the house adourned Immediately Immedi-ately as a mark of respect, Mr. Esllck had about half com pleted a en-minute . speech in behalf of the bonus. Picturing Pic-turing the World war army as "the flower of the country's manhood," he waved aside questions of finance and said: . . "Mr. Speaker, I want, to divert from the sordid lie never finished the sentence. As "he collapsed, he clutched at a table and partially broke his fall. Dr. George W. Calver, Capitol physician, phy-sician, said he had died before he struck the floor.' .Mrs. Esllck was In the members' gallery at the time. Tragedy added to futility is the history of this bonus bill. Hours of debate, largely for home consumption, consump-tion, wasted on the measure that wag foredoomed before it was pre sented. Though It passed the house by a vote of 211 to 17C, there was no possible chance that the senate would pass It and President Hoover Hoo-ver had announced that he would veto It If It should be passed. where additional savings wert to be accomplished. The resolutior. was introduced In answei to President Floover'i demand that congress save $150,000,000 to $200,000,000 more.
