DEBATE SHOWS
RUM IS ISSUE

BOSTON, April 9.-Dreams Of
leaders Of both the Republican and
Democratic parties to have their or
CARNATIONS sit securely on the fence
and watch the prohibition issue
sweep by were shattered today. &C.
cording to opinion in many political
quarters, following the debate in
crowded Symphony Hall last evening
between United States Senator VIII
liam e. Borah, of Idaho, and Presi-
dent Nicholas Murray Butler. of Col
umbia University, on the dry issue.
The question under debate was:
Should the Republican national plat.
form Of 1928 advocate the repeal Of
the Eighteenth Amendment"
While President Butler argued for
the repeal Of the amendment and
Senator Borah. in fiery reply. as
serted that the amendment could be
enforced and should not be dis.
turbed, both speakers seemed agreed
that prohibition is an issue to be
reckoned with.
Robert M. Washburn, president of
the Roosevelt Club, sponsor of the
debate, declared the lesson of the
meeting was that the Constitution
shall be enforced as written or as
amended and that the present stu.
alton should cease"
The question of who won the de-
bate was a much-discussed matter
today. Some observers said it was
"a draw" Others declared that the
applause showed Senator Borah a
victor. Still others asserted that DR..
Butler had won. Nine men. all promi.
nent citizens, selected by local
newspaper as unofficial judges"
stood: Borah. 6; Butler. 3.
