president Holland said thar he was
hope1ui that the convention would
adopt the labor planks he presented.
Wllllam II. Anderson, superintendent
Of the Anti-Saloon League, was not so

the entire state ticket including
Unled States Senator, Governor, mem
bers Of Congress and Legislature, ex-
cept those Individual candidates for
Congress and the Legislature who ex-
Pllcltiy declare against the weakening
of the Volstead act by Congress and
for the repeal of the beer law and the
passage of an honest state enforcement
law by the Legislature. incidentally,
this will let the Anti-Saloon League
out from under any charge that it is
trying to defeat the entire Republican
party as such"
Mr.. Anderson said that if Senator
Wadsworth were successful in the
primaries the candidacy of Mrs. Ella
A. Boole, president of the W. C. T. u,
an enrolled Republican, on the Prohibi-
ton ticket, would give the Republican
and Democratic drys an opportunity to
vote against Wadsworth, thus insuring
his defeat.
Henry II. Curran, President of the
Borough of Manhattan, tonight called
the platform makers and asked It'd I'm to
add a plank to the platform declaring
in favor of an amendment to the Con-
stitution providing for the lending of
state funds for the building of homes.
William H. Hoppin, of New York
City, on behalf of the New York Young
Republican Club, urged the adoption Of
the following plank:
Resolved That we advocate such
change IN the rules and methods of
Legislative procedure as will facilitate
the due sideration of all pending
measures and obviate congestion of
business at the close of the session."
