came to Albany yesterday in deputa-
tion to the Governor as the leader Of
! the party, to ask him to introduce the
| following plank in the Republican party
platform:
''It will be the duty of the new ad-
/ ministration to remove all existing
inequalities OF the law between the
men and women
"The Governor" said Mrs. dc Ange-
lis, received us cordially and told US
4 he believed in equal rights for men
vention to indorse the principle OF
! equality as between man and woman,
and We feel that no more splendid
! sentiment or expression can be paid
to the party than the Governors own
words"
Wet Planks Offered
Former Senator Martin SAKE urged
the committee on platform to include
the following plank:
| "The, use of beer and light wines
should be made lawful. to the end that
true temperance shall become a ma
tional Characteristic, public health pro-
tected against poison beverages, and
| the self respect of the people main
tained. The saloon of the past and
/ the bootlegger of the present are both
to be condemned"
Colonel Ransom Gillette of the state
organization opposed to prohibition
this afternoon urged the platform COM
mittee to insert in the convention plat
form the following:
"Resolved, that the Republican Party
of the State Of New York is in favor
Of immediate action on the part Of the
Congress of the United States to pro-
cure the enactment of legislation which
will permit the manufacture and dis
tribution through Some agency other
than the saloon such malt and vinous
LIQUORS as are not Intoxicating.
sResolved, that the States be per-
mitted by means of local option cleo
/ tions to determine the use. sale and
! manufacture of such liquors."
The impression prevails among the
leaders that the Sake plank will be
dropped. William II. Andere an's
/ statement that the drys are not asking
/ for anything inclines the leaders to
steer clear of trouble by ssying little
or nothing about prohibitions Most of
the leaders say that prohiSi tioH Is no
longer an issue. and that the Eepubli-
cans have got TO line up with Presi-
dent Harding and Governor Miller and
stand for law enforcement.
