George r. Lunn of Schenectady,
When he heard that the platform
cOarmittee would recommend che re-
peal Of the Prohibition amendment,
announced Il will fight It on the floor

the party to take such a stand. In,
1913 the party went on record in this

When II was over II was discovered
that tile Tammany selections were
second and fourth in the list, and
although It wRs suggested that they
