looked helplessly at the hurrying,
self-absorbed crowd, two or three Gu
rious ones, their eyes caught by the
turban, paused an instant. Rajendra
shrank at the smiling question, but
answered courteously.
He was sikah from the Punjab in
America; eight years he lived in Por-
tola and was a workingman; he was
interested in political economy, and
had come to San Francisco in the
hope of seeing how a national con-
vention was conducted.
He thought, with great embarrass-
ment, that "maybe it's all right" for
women to take part in politics. He
had no favorite candidate for presi-
dent. ell thought maybe prohibition
was a good thing. Personally he
Rajendra Singh, was dry, but he
would not presume to dictate tc
others. "I'l tell you what to do,
suggested somebody with a wink
'you go and see Bryan; maybe he
can fix you up"
SO Rajendra departed to camp
hopefully before the door of the great
Commoner, probably much to tht
latter's surprise, if he saw him. AnC
there were thousands here who haC
no more chance than Rajendra of see

Burleson's Wet Plans.
Postmaster General Burleson gave
out a wet plank, as follows:
THE open saloon has been general
ly condemned by the American peo-
pie as a menace to society and the
well being of the people and its
restoration should not be tolerated.
The validity of the Eighteenth
amendment to the constitution hav-
ing been sustained by the Supreme
court, any law enacted under its au-
thority must be strictly enforced.
However, the democratic party pied
ges it's utmost endeavors to prevent
this new grant of federal power from
to become oppressive or deprive the
people of that individual liberty
which it was the purpose of the union
of the states to guarantee and pre-
serve through all time. The Vol
stead act, vetoed by a democratic
president and passed over his veto
by a republican congress, is an ex-
treme exercise of the powers grant
ed by the Eighteenth amendment
and it should be so amended in strict
conformity with the spirit and pur-
pose of the constitution so as to
eliminate therefrom it's drastic and
unreasonable features. We favor an
amendment to the federal cOnstitu-
ton requiring all amendments here
after proposed thereto, to be ratified
or rejected by a referendum of the
qualified voters of the several states
