DEMOCRATS FACE
FIGHT OVER WET
PLATFORM PLANK
Not Less Than 700 Dele
gates to Frisco Conven-

tsT MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED ~iRsl
Chicago, June 1S.-Walter w.
Wick, of New York, campaign
manager for Governor E. I. Ed
wards. of New Jersey, In Chicago
today on his way to San Fran
cisco, declared in a statement that
there would be mot less than 100
delegates in the democratic ma
tional convention in favor OF
modification of the VClStead act,
permitting the use of light wines
and beers in such states as wish TO
90 so, with state control of regull-
ton under a general and liberal
federal act"
Opposition to the eighteenth
issue" Mr.. Vick's statement said,
"but the Volstead act is open to
amendment, as has been pointed
out by Governor Edwards and by
such a distinguished republican
authority as Senator Knox, of
Pennsylvania.
'The Volstead act is so extreme
that ii has placed in the criminal
class millions of women who make
the home grown fruit light wines
for domestic use: millions of farm
ers who make and mature cider
from their own orchards. 1t places
under a ban millions of our citi-
zens who for generations have re-
garded light wines and beers as
much a part of their daily food as
the bread upon their tables.
Evil consequences have follow
ed the enactment of this unwise
and undemocratic law. Moon
has grown twenty fold. 1T
has come down out of the mount
aims into the plains and even into
the towns and cities. Disrespect
of the law and the bribery of state
and federal agents of enforcement
are everywhere in overwhelming
evidersc In place Of the harmless
light wines and beers we have the
increasing use of the harmful
liquors in Illicit trade
The democratic party is going
to call halt on this and rescue
the country from the hands of
a fanatical minority whose numer-
ical weakness is shown every time
they attempt a separate fight. The
platform will be clear, funda-
democratic, progressive
and, / hope. brief II will embody
one sentiment which ought to be
taught in every school house In
the country That is respect for
the president of the United States.

Washington, June 18. - The
United States government had no
connection with the recent pur-
chase Of $4,000 tons of Argentina
sugar beyond lending it's influence
to have export restrictions removed,
Howard Figg, special assistant 70
the attorney general, announced to-
day. First reports that this was a
government purchase, Mr.. Figg
said, has caused considerable con-
fusion in the public mind as we'll as
in official circles.
American interests who pur-
chased the sugar have since CO.
operated with the department of
justice in working out plans for
distributing it to the essential in
dustries. 1t was estimated that the
$4,000 tons will be sufficient to
supply these industries for sixty
days and thereby release other
sugar stocks for distribution among
housewives during the approaching
canning season.
The Argentine sugar, said Mr..
Figg, is expected to arrive between

Ice Skating Has Had
A Wonderful Season
CBy Peter P. Carney

(By Peter P. Carney
This MAS been a wonderful skating
season.
All sports have revived wonderfully
during the past veal but no sport or
recreation has came back as much as
skating.
There are many reasons for this
but the main one is that there has
been lots Of. ice-more ice in some
places than there has been in years.
But the great quantity of ice that has
been harvested will not keep down
the price next summer. We don't
know what the alibi will be but you
can bet your last nickel that the ice
harons will find an excuse to advance
the figures.
Another reason for the renewed in
terest in skating was the international
match between Bobby Mclean of Chi
cago, now a skate designer for the
Winchester Repeating Arms company.
and Oskar Mathieson, the pride Of

parts. OF game birds the most i'm
portant is probably the ruffled
grouse. locally known as the birch
partridge. There are also wood-cock,
snipe and shore birds, wild geese,
brant. black ducks, and other varie-
ties of waterfowl. Sea, ducks are
numerous along the coast.
some of the best fishing to be found
anywhere. Nearly all the lakes and
streams are we'll stocked with trout
of a good size and great gameness.
Sea trout. which are caught near the
tide waters in many streams, run
rather heavy and are, if anything,
harder fighters. There is also good
fishing for salmon in most Of the
larger rivers. The land-locked SAL
mon or onananiche, one Of the
ganiest OF fish. affords sport for the
Lake, rear Halifax, and connecting
waters.
Then we have the ieaping and
sportive tuna Many have been
caught at Santa Catalina island, Cali
%fornia, but the Pacific tuna has had
all his big brothers hit the water
ways for the Atlantic sea-board. The
record tuna with rod and reel was
caught of Port Midway, Nova SEQ
tia. in September, 1914. Its weight
was eve hundred and ter pounds.
N~on-residents intending to hut
game in Nova Scotia can obtain Ii
censes from J. A. Knight, Chief
Game Commissioner, Halifax, n. S.,
or from game wardens or County
Clerks in the different districts. The
fee to hunt moose and all game is

We want to see more men hit the
