Losing tho Dry Plank

DROHIBITIONISTS arc showing belated
1 indignation over the fact that the Re-
publican National Convention omitted from
its platform any law-and-order declaration
which could be construed as an Endorsement
of the eighteenth amendment and the Vol
stead enforcement act. They profess to be
stirred almost beyond speech by the fact
that the certified copy of the platform as
placed before the country by the Republic
can National Committee has no mention of
this plank, and furious demands arc being
registered for an explanation Of the alleged
duplicity OF the Republican politicians in
losing" this declaration.
1t might be interesting in this connection
to restate tho facts regarding the prohibition
plank. This plank was prepared by prohi-
bitiOn lobbyists. presented 10 Chairman
Watson. Of tho Committee on Resolutions,
and ordered read aloud by him to the full
committee. The committee sat in executive
session at the time, and a number of mem
bers of that body protested in violent lam
guage against the inclusion in the platform
OF n made-to-ordcr declaration. There was
common consent agreement thereafter to
leave this plank out bodily, and National
Committeeman William Allen White, who
had most strongly advocated its adoption
appcarcd to have gone along with the crowd
While the matter was still under discus
sion in the committee, however. certain of
the committeeman appeared outside the
committee room with the assurance that the
plank had been or would be incorDorated
i'll the platform. This seemed to satisfy
the dry agents present, who withdrew and
went 10 the convention hall to await the
formal presentation of the platform When
the press copy of the document was given
ont, 1t contained reference to prohibi-
ton. At later hour on the same day
when the platform was submitted to the
convention ii contained no such plank, but
i'll the confusion which attended the reading
and adoption Of the platform few people. it
may he assumed, discovered the omission
Certainly no dry delegate rose 10 demand
the insertion of the plank.
Instead of the prohibition plank being
lost therefore, it merely rejected
Close observers of the conventions proceed
ings knew at the time that the declaration
was not included in the platform, and most
newspapers so stated at the time. The post-
| nortem protest OF the prohibitionists, there
fore, comes at very late hour. II might
| nave been more appropriate if presented
| while the deleted platform was being con
