Dry Ticket May Be Put Into the Field,
 Says Virgil Hinshaw
By Associated Press

Chicago July s.-A prohibition ticket may be put in the field again this fall. according to an announcement made to- day by Virgil G. Hinshaw. chairman of the prohibition national committee. He declared ''both the democratic and re- publican national parties in emitting a plank indorsing the eighteenth amend ment had dismally failed in living up to the standards demanded by American people in forty-five states"
 Decisions as to a ticket will be made, he said, at the national convention to be opened in Lincoln, Neb., on July 21. Mir. Hinshaw said the prohibition party considered it incumbent on us to main- tain party organization to give express sion to the millions of dry voters"
 For the first time in the history of a prohibition national convention one ses- sion will be given over to a law enforce ment mass meeting. World prohibition will also be discussed and "women's 8 hour'' will be the theme of another ses- sion.

WOULD QUIT CONVENTION

Jerome c. Refs. single tax commit- teeman from Pennsylvania, announced that the single taxers would accept the committee of fortyeight's invitation to attend the third party convention, but would leave if they were unable to prevent the selection of LaFoFl- lette as standard bearer.
 "The committee of forty-eight has d most wonderful opportunity to create the long looked, for third party he said fin Ame<fca, but LaFollette will certainly be the wrong man to follow. don't believe there is one delegates to the single tax party convention who could stomach LaFollette, and 1 am sure that those from my own state are against him to man. LaFoi- lette's entire political history is ob- solete with the paternalistic, or even socialistic. Legislation which the sin5 gle tax party unalterably opposes"
 Plans for the committee of forty eight convention went ahead however. unaffected apparently by the threat O. the single taxers.
