PICKARD each state decide for Itself It will be wet or dry. That, briefly, Is the prohibition plant adopted by the Republican national convention in. Chicago. It was dictated by President Hoover, and LET 's'i 'f the administration forces, in complete control of the convention, put It over after one of the most uproarious sessions in twenty years of Republican 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 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 Herbert Hoover for President and Charles C. Curtis for Vice President The debate on the prohibition plank was the only thing that saved this convention from being a complete flop as far as thrills and excitement are concerned. In all other respects it was about as tame as a town meeting, the selection of standard bearers being a foregone conclusion. James R. Garfield, chairman of the resolutions committee, led the fight for the Hoover plank, while Senator Bingham and Nicholas Murray Butler headed the forces demanding a plank Insisting on the repeal of the Eighteenth amendment Senator Binghams plank was defeated by a vote of 681 to 472. An analysis of the vote shows that the Republicans in the south swung the balance against the northern, eastern and middle western states which furnish the bulk of the electoral rotes for the election of Republican 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 the American nation never in its history has gone backward, and in this case the progress which has been thus far made 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 the provision of which, while retaining the federal government power to preserve the gains already made in dealing with the evils inherent in the liquor traffic, shall allow states to deal with the problem as their citizens may determine, but subject always to the power of the federttl government to protect those states where prohibition may exist and safeguard our citizens everywhere from the return of the saloon and its attendant abuses. Such an amendment should be promptly submitted to the states by congress, to be acted upon by state conventions called for that sole purpose in accordance with the provisions ,of Article V of the Constitution, and adequately safeguarded so as to be truly representative. The entire platform, as submitted 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 home building, continuance of restricted immigration. Prompt and drastic reduction of public expenditure urged. Further aid pledged through federal farm board, protective tariff duties, assistance to solve problems of controlling production. Full protection to incapacitated veterans pledged. Cash payment of bonus not mentioned. Favor extension of tariff protection to natural resource industries. Committed to maintenance of navy on basis of parity with any nation. Opposed to further army personnel reduction. American entry into league court favored. Settlement of International difficulties without alliances or foreign partnerships pledged. Rigid laws favored to stamp out activities of gangsters, racke- teers and kidnapers. Relentless warfare pledged against narcotic traffic. Need cited for revision of banking laws on sounder basis. Retention of gold standard Pledged. Participation In International conferences on monetary questions. Existing status of government in Hawaii should be maintained. Presidents constructive program lauded as an attack on the depression with objectives, but entailing no danger to the budget" Republican control of the federal government will "insure the orderly recovery of the country." VAfHILE the Republicans were busy in Chicago, the Democrats made small progress in settling their squabbles. One development was the rumor, originating in Chicago, that Melvin A. Traylor, the banker who is one of the dark horse possibilities for the Presidential nomination, might be put on the Roosevelt ticket in second place. It was said the New York governor would welcome this move. The Traylor campaign 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 partys $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 Shouse, Owen D. Young, Newton D. Baker, former Gov. James M. Cox, John W. Davis and 54 other leaders. 'T'RAGEDY stepped in to halt the debate on Representative Wright Patmans soldier bonus bill when Representative E. Eslick (Dem., Tenn.), dropped dead on the floor of the house while making an impassioned plea for the immediate payment of the $2,400,-000,- 0 00 Shocked by the dramatic turn of events, the house adjourned as a immediately mark of respect bonus Mr. Eslick had about half completed speech in behalf of the bonus.

As he collapsed, he clutched at a table and partially broke his fall. Dr. George W. Calver, Capitol physician, said he had died before he struck the floor. Mrs. Eslick 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, wasted on a measure that was foredoomed before it was presented. Though it passed the house by a vote of 211 to 176, there was no possible chance that the senate would pass it, and President Hoover had aniiounced that he would veto it if it should be passed. a ten-minu- VON PAPEN, Germanys aristocratic chancellor, held several conferences with the premiers of the states and the German agricultural council and succeeded in part in al- - v. laying their fears . $$0$ that his government Intended eventually to overthrow the republic.

FRANZ the senate WITHOUT a debate resolution presented by Senator Joe T. Robinson, Democratic floor leader, calling on (he President to specify how and where additional savings were to be accomplished. The resolution was introduced in answer to President Hoovers demand that congress save $150,000,000 to $200,000,000 more. In some quarters, the prediction was made that the need for additional budget balancing funds will serve to revive the sales tax, notwithstanding the fact that the billion dollar tax bill already has been enacted into law. The conference committee, still wrestling with the economy bill, has come to a virtual agreement on the plan for enforced furloughs for federal employees, instead of the 10 per cent pay cut plan. against YOU a bargain when you see it.

Capt Alejandro Lazo, an intimate associate of Davila and of Ibanez, was arrested. Extremist sentiment against Davilas continuance in the junta arose as a result of attacks against him by the leftist newspaper Opinion, which has led efforts of certain elements in northern Chile to force dissolution of the $375,000,000 Cosach organization.
