must return to honesty and decency
in politics.
Narcotics
Recognizing narcotic addiction {
especially the spreading heron IN
abduction among the youth asa grave
peril to American and to the human
race, we pledge ourselves vigor-
ously to take against against it all
legitimate and proper measures for
education, for control and for sup
prssion at home and abroad.
Enforcement of Prohibition Law
The republican administration
has failed to enforce the prohibition
law; is guilty of trafficking liquor
permits, and has become the protec-
tor of this law.
The democratic party pledges it
self to respect and enforce the CON
stitution and all laws.
The Rights of The States.
We demand that the states of the
Union shall be preserved in all
their vigor and power. They con
stitute bulwark against the cen
trailing and destructive tendencies
of the Republican party.
Asiatic immigration
We pledge ourselves to maintain
our established position in favor
Of the exclusion of Asiatic imrni-
grafton.
Philippine independence
The Philippine people save sue
ceeded in maintaining a stable gov
eminent and have thus fulfilled the
only condition laid down by the
congress as a prerequisite to the
granting of independence. We de-
clare that it is now our liberty and
our duty to keep our promise to
these people by granting them m
mediately the independence which
they SO honrably covet.
Alaska
The NAL administration of affairs
in Alaska is matter of concern to
all our people. Under the Repuo-
lican administration Of Alaska, de-
velopment has ceased and the fish
ing industry has been considerably
impaired.
Territory of Hawaii
We believe in policy for cont
inuing the improvements of the ma
tional party, the harbor and break
waters, and the federal roads Of
the territory of Hawaii.
Virgin Islands.
We recommend legislation for the
welfare of the inhabitants of the
Virgin Islands.
We condemn the Lausanne treaty
1t bars legitimate American rights
and betrays Armenia, for the Cester
oil concession.
Republic of Greece
We welcome to the sisterh0od Of
republic the ancient land Of Greece
which gave to our party it's price
less name.
We extend to her government and
people our cordial good wishes.
War.
War is a relic Of barbarism and
it is justifiable only as a measure
of defense.
In the event war in which the
manpower of the nation is drafted
all other resources should like
wise be drafted. This will tend to
discourage war by deprivng it of is
profits.
Disarmament, War Referendum and
National Defense
We demand a strict and sweep
ing reduction Of ornaments by lanaI
and sea, so that there shall be no
competitive military program or
naval building. Until international
agreements to this end have been
made, we advocate an army ard
navy adequate for our national
safety.

Regulation of Corporations
Education

We believe with Thomas Jeffer-
son and other founders of the re-
public that ignorance is the enemy
of freedom and that each state, be-
ing responsible for the intellectual
and moral qualifications of its citi-
zenss and for the expenditure of
moneys collected by taxation for
the support of its schools, shall use
it's sovereign right in all matters
pertaining to education.

During the four years of Republi-
can government, the economic con
ditions of the American farmer has
changed from comfort to bank
ruptcy, with all its attendant mis-
cries.

CHAREST Is WINNER
IN WARDMAN TENNIS

Clarence Charest employed the
most dazzling sort of tennis to over
como Paul Kunkel, 10-S, SIS, e.,
6-1, in the deciding singles match of
the Wardman Park tournament yes
terady before a large gallery.
kunkel and Mangan, who easily
disposed of Robertson and Purinton,

Gore and Van Vliet in the final
doubles round today at ESQ o'clock.
Gore and Van Vliet remained in the
running by downing Charest and John
son, GO, Ct
Charest and Kunkel batt1ed on even
terms in the first two sets. After
dropping the first, 10-s, KunkeI
reached his best form to take the
next, 6-3. Had Kunkel maintained
the pace he set in the second set,
Charest would have been forced to
extend himself, but the former wilted
under his opponents accurate place

Charest gave the more polished ex-
hibition of tennis. He seldom erred
in driving the ball to side court.
In the third set Charest gained a
5-to-1 lead and from then on he was
never headed. Kunkel was completes
ly outclassed in the last three sets.

MANOR CLUB PLANS
BIG time SATURDAY

Next Saturday, June IA, will prove
red letter day in the history OF the
Manor club, one of the youngest and
most attractive of the many similar
organizations in the vicinity of Wash
ington.
Ten hours of fun have been ar
ranged for members and their guests
that day, when the club flag raising
will be observed with appropriate
ceremonies and a nationally promi-
nent speaker officiating.
In addition to tennis and croquet
events there will be.a ombstone golf
tournament held over the nine COM
pleted holes of the layout, which ulti-
mately will number twenty seven
holes, and also a putting tourne ey,
with prizes offered for both. In the
evening there will be a supper dance.
The Manor Club is situated some
500 feet above Washington, near Nor
beck, Md, in a wooded, rolling coun-
try. which makes it an ideal site
Plans now being pushed to compile
tion will give it's golfng members
one of the niftiest courses about the
Capital.

D. C. QUARTET PICKED
TO GOLF AT DAYTON

AS required by the United States,
Golf Association the names of George
j. Voigt, Robert II. Brown, John G.
Shorey and Charles N. Agnew, jr..
have been forwarded to Cornelius :.
Lee. executive secretary of the United
States Golf Association, as four of the
six entrants from Washington in the
third annual national public links
to be held at Dayton,
Ohio, the latter part of this month.
1t had heen thought that the Ma
tional Capital would be represented
by at least a half dozen entrants in
the tourney, but so far but four have
been named.
Under the rules of the United States
Golf Associa ton, entries must be re
ceived on or before June 9. Unless
the Rock Creek Park tournament, tho
winner and runner-up in which arc
due to be sent to Dayton, is completed
before Monday evening, it looks very
much as though Washington will
have but four contestants.

The green's at Oakland Hills were
much the same as those at Columbia
Club. If anything, they were more
battling because OF the undulations.
IF a player was not on with his sec
ond shot he had practically % chance
OF chipping dead for his par. Be
cause of his remarkable putting
touch, Walter Hagen was expected
10 have big advantage. But Ha-
gems putting was poor here, which
was one of the reasons for his failure
10 win.
Is Very Deliberate.
walker has a very fine putting
touch also. What is more, he is Il
very deliberate, paintaking player,
who is patient enough to look things
over before playing the shot In this
match he made sure to get the proper
line to the cup before making each
putt. Then, again, he never went
boldly for any brides that were in
sight. Those he made came not from
any boldnesS on his part. but more
because of his extreme caution.
Cyril Walker is a man of thirty
three years. He has been in this
country just ten years, and although
he had never won any really impor-
tant title, he has been a prominent
contender in all tournaments in the
last three years. He finished second
in the last two north and south open
championships at Pinehurst where a
GOOD putting touch is more valuable
than any other kind OF shot
or course, Walker is more than a
good putter.r He is also a great shot
maker, else he never could have won
the national open, In spite of his
light weight, he is an exceptionally
long hitter from the tee. Perfect
irlf inc h ln= hiy, 10 nvf nrli-
nary distance on his drives. He is
not as long through the fairways as
some of the others-Jones, Hagen and
Sarazen, for example-but he proved
here that control of the irons and
good putting are a better combination
than long hitting and wildness.
Has Developed Rapidly.
Walkers victory upset the predic-
tton of the writer that a member of
the younger school would be open
champion again this year. But
Walker is not exactly an old stager
at this game. as he has developed
his own game only within the last
1918 when he made a fine showing
in the British open at Hoy Lake.
Since coming to this country, how
ever. Walker has developed more
rapidly than he did on the other
side. Knowing that he could never
hope to obtain any distance by pure
hitting alone, he made scientific
study of timing his stroke. Today
he probably is the greatest player
in the game in this respect.
There is nothing of the spectacular
about Walker. He plays golf in the
same manner an engineer would
work out Il mechanical problem.
Everything is done on a scientific
