nominee be more controlling than q

"Do you mean the presidential
nominee or the congressional nom'
inee?" Senator Couzens returned, then
answered his own question.
Assuming that you mean the presi'
Dental nominee, do not believe after
a very thorough campaign, that the
personal views of the nominee would
carry so much weight. Certainly the
Nation, in my opinion, is dry. and
there is no probability of Congress
enacting any legislation that would
give the presidential nominee who
might be elected a chance to veto 1t.
Therefore, of what great Importance
are the personal views of the nom-
inee?"
Reasonable to Expect.
"Is it not reasonable expectation
that the Republican nominee would
be dry? At least, that he would stand
for strict enforcement of the Consti-
tuition and the statutes as they are,
without committing himself favorably
to amendment, modification or re-
peal?"
"I think it is quite reasonable to
expect that, not only from. the Repub-
lican nominee but from the Demo
cratic nominee" Senator CouZens re-
piled.

Obviously there must be good rea-

If one were TO attempt to pass a
knife through solid. such as an ap-

the knife so that the sharp edge would

purpose much lIore readily than If
he were to put the blunt edge for

rapidly through a body of water. he
would find that by putting the blunt

One is apt to think of the air as
next to nothing, having no substance.
The air is a fluid and the medium
through which the plane is travelling
is not unlike a body of water through
which a steamer is gliding. We may
consider that water or air is com
posed of an infinite number of minute
threads of fluid arranged regularly
side by side. For these hypothetical
threads there is a recognized term
the stream lines" The breaking up
of these stream lines causes eddies and
resistance when an object is moved
through them. To reduce this resist
ance it is necessary that the moving
body be constructed, of such shape
that the stream lines, either of air or
water, flow around it smoothly and
unbrokenly.

"In my opinion, the Republicans

lanes Couzens of Michigan, one of
the progressive Republicans in the

"Do you regard prohibition as

Il do not believe it is partisan

Are other issues of greater inn

"I do not think there are issues of
any greater importance to our ma.

the Senator declared, but I can Wis
uaiize other issues, economic ones in
particular, brought forward, at least
in the campaign, to divert as much
attention as possible from the prohi-
bition question.
Due to the fact that neither party
in my judgment can get together on
a prohibition platform other than law
enforcement, it is obvious to me that
the Republican party must continue
it's administration on the economic

IohD p. Smith spoke in favor OF
leaving provision for an airport to

Frantz and Robert L. Bier made pleas
for a "far-sighted policy" picturing
the great future of air transportatio
Mr.. Frantz said it would benefit not

The association unanimously ap-
proved a proposal to circulate a petit

one-day traffic on both the north and

claring that it was "a bond issue in

to the executive committee.
It was decided to create a special
