PROHIBITION PLANK, LOST IN SHUTTLE,
 RAISES QUESTION
Claw and Order" Declaration Not Officially
 Adopted

Chicago, June 1O.-The republican platform plank designed to deal with prohibition got lost in the shuffle to- day. furnished a new thrill for "wets' and "drys" and raised some question of it's legal status.
 The plank does not mention prohi- bition, but is law and order decla- ration for impartial enforcement of all laws.
 In mixup from confusion of plat form work. the plank was left from the great pile taken to the Coliseum and read by Chairman Watson of the resolutions rommittee. It was not read to the convention and was not in the platform of officially adopted but Chairman Watson, Senator Shoot and others in charge of the document declared it was adopted by the reso- lutons committee and is part of the platform.
 "Dry" leaders were assured, before the committee headed at breakneck speed for the coliseum, that the law and order plank was in the platform under Senator Watson's' arm. No re. port of it's absence was had tonight until Senator Watson's attention was called to the omission. Prohibition | leaders also were under the impress sion that the platform listed tho Wolstead enforcement act among republican congressional achievement but as read, it contained no sucf endorsement.
 "The law and order plank" mem bers of the committee explained was designed to fill the gap caused by overwhelming rejection by the reso lutions committee of the proposal O. William Allen White of Kansas fol plank specifically pledging enforce ment of the Volstead law. MT Whites plank got only six or eigh votes. Some prohibition workers were disposed to make fight fol the White plank in the convention but it got nowhere, the move beint opposed by Wayne G. Wheeler, gen ral counsel for the anti-saloon league of America.
 l When informed that the platform "pointed with pride to the Volstea' law and also contained the genera law enforcement plank, MT. Wheele said it would prove satisfactory al though not entirely meeting "dry wishes. He also expressed satisfac tion over keeping any wet or mois declaration from the platform.
 As originally drafted, the lav and order contained the following clause which was dropped out later With regard to the sale and man ufacture of intoxicating beverages the republican party will stand fo the enforcement of the constitution of the United States as it shall b declared by the supreme court"
 This clause leaders explained wa written before the courts decisio last Monday.

C;ARAWAY REVIEWS RECORD; ATTACKS
 THAT OF KIRBY
Candidate Speaks Before ; Large Crowd at Court
 House Here

In an address characterized by resume of the work and Legislation he has accomplished in four term in congress, as contrast with tha wrought by Senator William F. Kirb. in the senate. Congressman Thadde us H. Carraway, candidate to succeed Kirby, last night set forth his plea for election to the office before larg' crowd at the courthouse. The con gressman was introduced by w F Coleman.
 In his remarks of introduction MT Coleman stated that Congressman Caraway is recognized as one of th' ablest representatives in the lowe: house, and that the congressman ability has placed him on the i'm portant judiciary committee of thu house, "and in no instance has hi! constituency had cause to disapprov' of his stand, or vote, on any publi question"
 Congressman Caraway discussed let islation enacted in the recent con gress, rural credits, good roads legis lation, the mothers and old age pen sion laws, and in these he said he hat taken an active part.
 Referring to MT. Kirby's record, thu congressman read from the record that Senator Kirby's utterance ol raising the draft age was as follows "As to the age of 45, that is an ol' proposition. I do not think it neces sary to go up to that age yet"
 Congressman Caraway also stated that Senator Kirby likewise oppose, giving the honorably discharged sol diers, sailors and marines their uni forms and bonus of $90. Kirby words on this subject. the speake said. were:
 'sMr. President, indorse much O what has been said by the Senate from Colorado. and I am opposed t. this and all other amendments to thu bill"
 "I am curious to hear the Senator exclamation of this," said Carawav "Whv was it wrong and ruiniuos botf to the country ana to the charac'e of the soldiers to give these, you sons, the ragged uniforms they wor out of the blood stained trenches O France, and 800, while to pay his owl son, who was in school and performln services, $1,5O0 plus bonus of $24 year out of the public treasury was neither hurtful nor wrong. Wh! was it wrong and ruinous to give thes soldiers their ragged uniforms ant se0 and vet was not wrong and woul' not hurt his son to pive him Sl'soo year and bonus of $240 for perform ing no service? Can it be that tn senator thinks the son of senate is this much superior to your son ant your neighbors' sons? The same ap plies to Kirby's uncle, also."
