AUlSrNMAAUBtAA news GerNtGC
NEW YORK. Sept. %. The Re-
publicans Of New York marched
out in the middle of the road to-
day on the controversial issue Of
prohibition-and thereby averted
what promised to be the most dis
astrous split in the history of the
party.
The platfornrN leans to the dry
side: the candidates to the wet.
Enforcement Is Backed
Having adopted plank piedging
the party to strict law enforce
ment. the State convention today
proceeded to the serious business
Of nominating at the head OF the
State ticket two men who are as
well known for their wet views
almost as Gov. AL Smith.
These are Senator James w. Wads-
worth and Representative Ogden L..
Mills. To the latter falls the task
of opposing AIS thrust for a
fourth term at Albany next No
Vember.
Thus both the vets and the drys
emerged from ain embarrassing sit
uation with at least a semblance
of victory. The extreme-right drys
from upstate are dissatisfied but
no less SO than the extreme-left vets
from down-State.
There was a lot of muttering to-
day in the wake Of the platform s
adoption. but the vast majority of
the 1876 convention delegates are
content.
So relieved were the rank and
file that the platform went through
the convention late last night with
= out voice being raised against it
on the floor Both sides were
afraid to start anything.
No Trouble FOreseen
1t was considered not improbable
today that the slate of candidates
will go through the same way and
for the same reason. Nomination
of Wadsworth and Mills will come
late this afternoon.
The prohibition plank that the
convention greediIy swallowed said,
in part:
The manufacture, transporta-
tion or sale Of intoxicating beYer-
ages is forbidden by the Federal
Constitution. So long as this pro-
vision is in the Constitution 1t
should be enforced. The Eight
zenith Amendment and the Volstead
act are the law of the land. AS
a party which has always upheld
the cause of law and order, we
pledge our public officials, whether
national or State, to do all in their
power to see that they are obeyed."
