MISSOURI PARTIES
DODGE DRY ISSUE
Platform Conventions Indorse Per
sonaf Qualities of
Nominees.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, September IS
Democrats and Republicans of Missouri
will enter the campaign this year with
platforms not specifically mentioning
the issue Of prohibition. At the State
platform conventions this week, both
parties studiously avoided the use of
prohibition. This was done by indors-
ing in entirety the platforms of the
national conventions, including their
planks on the liquor question.
Republican avoided a drastic reli-
gious tolerance plank, which was urged
to keep in line the colored vote. The
plank finally adopted was one approx
ing the language of Herbert Hoover in
his speech of acceptance.
The Democrats went the limit in de-
claring for religious tolerance and in
friendly gestures to the colored voter.
Reports are that the Republicans are
having difficulty, particularly in st.
Louis, In holding the colored voters in
line for their presidential nominee.
The Democrats had difficulty in
reaching an agreement on plank in
dorsing Gov. Smith. James A. Collet,
defeated Democratic candidate In the
senatorial race, who was sponsored by
Senator James A. Reed, insisted that
the, convention unequivocaily indorse
Smith and his program. The rural
"dry'' forces led by Charles M. Hay.
nominee for Senator, refused to go that
strong. They wouldn't adopt any plank
which might be interpreted as approx
ing Smiths stand against the Vol
stead act and the eighteenth amend
ment The Democrats finally agreed to
eulogize Smiths record and his per-
sonal attributes. T. G. Afford.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, September IS.
Mailing canards and pressing an ag-
gressive offensive against Republican
strongholds is the chief occupation OF
old.line Democrats in Alabama at pres
emit. Just how strongly entrenched
the opposition is cannot be determined,
but it is known at Democratic head
quarters that the Ku Klux-Republican
combination has been digging IN" for
several months. %E
Long before the "bolters" from the
Democratic party organized. an In
siduous campaign had been waged
against Gov. Smith on the grounds that
he was wet" and also on account OF
his religious views. Since the campaign
has been brought out into the open,
many former Democrats have declared
that prohibition is minor issue, but
that Roman Catholicism is the para
mount question before Southern Prot
estants. Acceptance Of the Ku; Kiux
slate" Of former Democrats as R6publt-
can nominees for electors from Ala
bama has brought about dissatisfaction
among some old-line Republicans, who
have raised the question that this action
has, In effect, said to the world that In
Alabama there are not IL decent Re-
publicanS who are not office holders
Office holders being barred from serving
as electors.
Acceptance of the slate has been
justified by party leaders on the grounds
that many Democrats might be induced
to vote for former associates even under
the Republican emblem who would not
vote for Republican.

HUNT DIAMONDS | LOST FROM PLANE
Postal Inspector Setks Gems Following Air Crash

Franklin. Pa. Oct. 93 "A pes tai inspector today was collecting diamonds which disappeared in . rush" on the burned femains of the air mail plane in which . National Air Transport pilot fell to his death near Polk. Pa. The diamonds were part of the mail cargo in the plane.
 The plane. piloted by William C.. Hopson. crashed and burned some time Thursday night. Wesley l.. Smith, superintendent of mails of the Air Transport company. sal- vaged part of the mail and what he thought was all of the diamonds and then announced that the plane had been abandoned.
 Sold For e3
 Souvenir hunters found a few dia- monds in the wreckage and the rush was on. One man scooped up earth near the plane which he took home and sifted to find four diamonds. Some skeptical persons sold their finds for $2 to g only to find they were worth 3s5 or more.
 When word reached post o:ice au- thorities William Tafel. an inspector was sent there to recover the dia- monds. He obtained a list of those reported to have found precious stones in the wreckage and started collection of the gems. The Trans port company ordered . thorough search of the wreckage.
 The value of the diamond ship ment was not disclosed. Several finds of as high as a dozen stones have been reported.
