The four industrial states of what was once known as the Middle West (before the political title of Com Belt became attached to the other states of the old Middle West) all border on the Great Lakes, and a part of their problems (as they will be stressed to the delegates both in Kansas City and Houston) is similar in a marked degree to those of the Com Belt states. These four states have a voting strength of 67. The Solid South has been uniformly Democratic since the era of Reconstruction passed completely away.

ITS ALL right to talk about cheap politics, but theyre never cheap when you have to run in a primary. ITS INFORMATION I WANT Salt Lake City, June 21, 1928. Editor The Citizen: I want to ask you some good honest Republican a question and so have picked on you. The Republican platform adopted at Kansas City says: The people, through the method provided by the Constitution, have written the eighteenth amendment into the Constitution. The Republican party pledges itself and its nominees to the observance and vigorous enforcement of this provision of the Constitution. Now what I want to know is if that is an admission that the Republican party now in power is not observing and enforcing the eighteenth amendment, and if not, why not? What can Herbert Hoover do to enforce the eighteenth amendment that Calvin Coolidge has not done? It is information I am after. G. B. A., Salt Lake City. Note: Inasmuch as the eighteenth amendment was a Democratic measure introduced at the 65th Congress under the guise of a war measure, December 18, 1917, and ratified and states January adopted by thirty-si- x 29, 1919, and went into effect January 16, 1920, passed by Congress and signed by President Woodrow Wilson, it would appear that a Democrat could give you a better answer to your question than can a Republican. President Coolidge has tried his best to bring about strict enforcement and has spent millions of dollars of the taxpayers money in trying to make the people obey a Democratic measure, but like all unpopular laws curtailing the rights of the people, it seems to be impossible to enforce the law. As a rule the Democrats think up the funniest kind of laws and then leave it to the Republicans to straighten them out. Generally, the people have no respect for the law and it cannot be enforced. What is Governor A1 Smith doing to enforce the law in' New York state? What will he do to enforce prohibi. tion if he is elected president? It has always been the aim of the Republican party to enforce every law of the land. If there is an obnoxious law, the people should repeal it, Jout Republicans My, but the country smells car-t- ake good! Jump in your a Keeleys Box Lunch and hie off to the canyons!

It was put there by a majority of the people, and in this land of ours, the majority rule. The DELECTABLE RECIPES months.
