administration followers and nd others advocates the resumption of the manufacture of ot light wines and beers It approves the abolition of 01 sa saloons saloons sa- sa a loons taking the position that they were a so social lal and economic menace But it holds that the act In InHa Its Ha present form is something of an injustice to poor men It is pointed out that when prohibition became operative operative op opo op- op the Jaw law permitted all men te to purchase as much liquor as their means permitted provided It was kept in th the home and consumed thereIn there In this way the tentative plank j reads the poor man has been discriminated against because not having funds he be could not stock uP vp with liquor If light flIght wines and beers were permitted the discrimination no longer would exist The administration forces will wm favor woman suffrage without qualification and certain elements element h here re are strong for a plank calling for tax reductions and revisions a a bitter fight brewing on the question of tax on luxuries Evidence today was that the convent convention convention conven conven- t tion on if it it waits for the report of the
