Chicago. June Z ~ The public
might as well make up its mind
that SO far as the action of this
convention Is concerned no forecast
can be of any real value. All at
present are guesses. Somebody is
sure to guess right and palm him
self on superior political wisdom in
future. Happily for political seers
people remember the successful
guess while forgetting the others.
For demonstration of this truth sse

Leadiag Candidates Tied.
Today the three leading candi-
dates are virtually tied. with no
one claiming enough votes to come
within $50 of a nomination. There
is no single influence outside these
camps able to muster nearly enough
votes to put any one of them over.
There Is no trustworthy evidence,
though many rumors, of any COM
bination between two or the lead
ers for the undoing of the third.
So far as the most diligent research
on the part of a score of corre-
spondents can discover, there is as
yet no uniting of the field against
any one of the leaders. All this
simply means that after three or
four sballots present alignments
will be broken and the secondary
candidates come into their own.
No Break Before Thursday Eve.
1t Is the opinion Of the veterans
that this will not occur before
Thursday afternoon. In all proba-
bility when the break in the pres
ent formations begins. it will pro-
ceed with rapidity. II past expert

tournament will be taken after the

SWEEPING DRY
DECISIONGIVEN
BY HIGH COURT
Eighteenth Amendment and
Volstead Enforcement
Act Are Upheld.
ALL OBJECTIONS FAIL
Ruling Practically Unani-
) nous for Constitution
atty Of Prohibition.
ALL OBJECTIONS FAIL

The Supreme Court Of the United
States yesterday swept aside every
objection presented by the "wets"
against the validity of the Eigh-
teenth amendpent and the Vol
stead enforcement act by uphold
ing the constitutionality of both.
The court'ss1ecision was TO all in
tents and purposes unanimous.
Chief Justice White. Justices Nc
Reynolds, McKenna and Clarke pre-
sented supplementary decisions
either dissenting In part or ex-
planning the action of the court. but
In no place did they question the
constitutionality OF the acts.
The decision OF the court involved
seven cases. Two were the direct
appeals of Rhode Island and New
Jersey as sovereign States to enjoin
enforcement within their boundar-
les. The five other cases reached
the court on appeal. They were the
Kentucky Distiliing and Warehouse
Co.. Christian Feigensnan, a New
ark, N. j., brewer; the st. Louis
Brewing Association, G. c. Demp-
sey, of Boston. and the Manitowoc
Products Company, of Wisconsin.
The latter was the only litigant to
obtain a favorable verdict in the
lower court.
The decision, which clears the
docket Of prohibition cases. dealt
only with the conclusions of the
court in effect as follows:
First: That the Eighteenth
amendment was legally adopted and
that in every respect ii is constitu-
tional.
Second: That the prohibition
governs the distribution and sale Of
liquors produced prior to the adop-
tfon of the amendment, thereby pre-
venting the disposal OF liquors now
in bond.
Third: That the phrase concur

not reserve to the States any ex-I
press right equal to that OF tbs Kcy-
,ernment In the enforcement Of the
constitutional anne ndment, so set
ting aside the various State statutes

Fourth: That Congress forever has
authority to declare what Is and

This is expected to keep the repeal
of the Volstead law or its modifica-
tion into politics for years to c7me.
