Outstanding in the broad view of
campaign principles and pledges is the
fact that there is no senatorial aspirant
who is avowedly dry. Each candidate
in his statement of principles has given
prominence to the prohibition issue.
Collectively, their aims range from re-
peal of the Eighteenth Amendment to
legalization of stimulating" bever
ages.
Summarized, these are the princi-
pies espoused by the three Democratic
candidates:
William Cabell Bruce Substitution
for the Volstead act of measure al
lowing, under Federal supervision, the
free use of light wines and beers. A
generous attitude toward Republican
Germany Opposition to government
ownership.
David J. Lewis is-Legalization of the
sale of Intoxicating alcoholic stimu-
lants under local option plan. A fiex-
ible tariff schedule drawn by nom
partizan body. Crop insurance. Ap-
proval of the League of Nations.
William |. Observation-Disclosures of
the Volstead act Full political rights
for women. Preservation of local self
government.
Mr.. Bruce is general counsel to the
Public Service Commission, Mr.. Lewis
was a former Congressman, and Mr..
Norris President of the State Senate.
Of the two Republican candidates
Senator Joseph France is seeking re-
election, while John w. Garrett has
been in the diplomatic service and was
secretary general to the Conferende on
the Limitation of Armaments. Their
announced principles are:
John w. Garrett-Amendmen of
the prohibition law to permit manu-
facture and sale of light wines and
beers. Recognition and support of Re-
publican principles and achievements.
Senator France stands for Modifi-
cation of the Volstead act. Senator
France has announced that he stands
upon his own record in the Senate and
the fund lmental principles of Ameri-
canism.
Can Iidates of both parties have had
few meetings of political character.
All except Mr.. Bruce, who entered
the field last week, have gone into the
coun Jos to confer with political lead
ers and to meet voters. Indications re-
Gently were that any speaking tours
which may be arranged probably will
come in the last two weeks of the prlm-
ary campaign.
The primary election will be held on
Monday, September 11th. The reg
istration officers will sit on Tuesday,
the 5th, to register new voters.
