Omission In Republican
Platform Discovered
BY Prohibitionists.

CHICAGO. ASSOCIATED Pressl 90
The Law and ORDER plank adopted By
the Republican National Convention
has been left out Of the platform as
issued from Republican headquarters,
Virgil G.. Hinshaw. chairman Of the
Prohibition National Committee. said
Saturday.
"Prohibitionists." said Chairman
Hinshaw, ARE thunderstruck by the
failure o. the Republican platform
issued by the National Committee TO
embody the Law enforcement plank
adopted along with other planks by
unanimous vote Of the Republican
National Convention.
Clinton y. Howard. representa-
tive Of the Prohibition National Com
mittee, and William Jennings Bryan
sat IN the Republican Convention and
heard this plank read in advance Of
IL adoption which followed without a
dissenting vote. Il was published as
part Of the platform IN all the big
papers Of the land
Recently ! went TO the headquar-
tiers ~ the Republican National Com
mittee in Chicago, and Capt. Victor
Hcintz, in charge. admitted the omis-
sion and said he was taking the mat
ter up with the authorities in New
fork IN order TO ascertain the reason
for leaving Il out"
The plank referred To by Mr Hin
shaw was this The equality Of all
citizens under the law has always
been a policy 81 the Republican par
.ty. Without obedience to law and
maintenance Of order, our American
institutions must perish Our laws
must be impartially enforced and
