who surrounded the. shop.
When they approached windows
and doors of the establishment in
an effort to enter, the barrage of

nomination. Robinson would be his
running mate.
Friends of the Arkansas Senator
openly predicted his nomination on
the first vice presidential ballot.
Reed May BE Named
In the inner council chambers,
however. another name was wnis-
pered-th of Senator James "A.
Reed, now a vigorous candidate for
the highest honor.
Some influential party leaders said
Reed could have the vice presiden-
tial nomination by merely signtfying
his Willingness to run with Smith,
should the New York governor be-
come the presidential nominee. Such
combination would parallel the
action of the Republican convention
which named Senator Charles Curtis
for the second-place post after Her
bert Hoover defeated him for the
presidential nomination.
There were a good many dis
senters. including some OF Smiths
closest friends, to a Smith and Reed
ticket. 1t was protested that such
a ticket would be too wet and would
fail to recognize the following Of
woodrow Wilson.
There was a large field OF active
candidates, however, in the race tor
the running-nate honors. OF these.
the names of Representative CordeII
Hull of Tennessee, Evans Woollen,
OF Indiana: Gov. Vic DonAhey.. Of
Ohio: former Senator Gilbert M.
Hitchcock Of Nebraska, and Repre-
sentative T Rainey Of Illinois were
the most frequently mentioned.
Host Of Possibilities
Senator Alben w. Barkley Of
Kentucky. George L. Berry. Of Ten

for Mrs. Ross was being waged

others. appeared doomed after q

learned I0ud..
The gist of the plank follows:
Denounces the Republican party
for failure to enforce properly the
Eighteenth Amendment.
BIames the Republicans for g.
virtual reign of terrorism in en-
forcement methods.
Pledges the Democratic party and
its nominees to enforce rigidly
all provisions of the Constitution.
Avoid Eighteenth Amendment
In this outline Of the plank no
mention Is made specifically OF
enforcement of the Eighteenth
Amendment. Tho Smith leaders
ergue that It Is not at all necessary,
a. naturally, any Presidential nom
inee would pledge himself TO en-
force all laws on the statute books,
even should he favor modification
or repeal of some particular pro-
vision.
Such a plank, the Smith leaders
declared today. would not embarrassI
Governor Smith, and should suit
all the drys except that militant
group which is seeking an out and
out endorsement of the moral up
righteousness" of prohibition
Members of the Smith camp have
been burning he midnight oil in
trying to evolve some plan to
soothe the omnipresent prohibition
row. The latest arrivals in the
New York delegation, some Of
whom have recently talked to Gov
error Smith. brought out the sug.
gested plank.
Adoption Unlikely
As a gesture to the vets, some
Of the New York leaders close to
Governor Smith are planning to
make a fight for liberalization of
the VoIstead Act 1t probably will
be confined TO the resolutions com
nittee and not carried to the floor
TO stir up a hornets nest.
There is little hope, however. that
any such plank can he adopted and
the sponsors are perfectly willing
to fall back on the aIl-inclusive law
enforcement platform.
These leaders pointed out that
Governor Smith, in his speech OF
acceptance, will pledge himself to
law enforcement and at the same
time reiterate his views for modi.
fication of the Folstead law, with
the further suggestion that the
States should be allowed to deter
mine the prohibition question for
themselves.
Csrawsy Plank
From the camp Of the drys came
today prohibition plank, proposed
by Senator Caraway of Arkansas,
which is understood to have con
siderable support. 1t follows:
The Republican party, in it's
convention assembled at Kansas
City, pledged itself for political
purposes only, to uphold the Eight
zenith Amendment to the Constitu-
ton.
But in good faith the Democratic
party pledges itself not only To
uphold the Eighteenth Amendment
and all laws made pursuant there
to. but likewise the Constitution
and all other laws of our land"
still another plank eaIlt2g Tor
ment, is being framed by the
militant vets. No hope is held for
it.
As a result of numerous week
end conferences. no serious trouble
is anticipated over the farm relief
plank.

Gull Potatoes and Apples
Prove Substitute for
Silage at Elk. Station

Three hundred visitors inspected
the many experimental lots of fat
tening beef cattle, sheep, and hogs
at the Irrigation Agricultural sta
ton. A good delegation of farm
ers from Yakima, Benton, Frank
lin, Kittitas, Spokane and Whit
man counties studied the demon
strations. The greatest interest in
the feeding trials conferred around
the cattle and sheep lots which
were fed Gull potatoes and alfalfa
hay. In the trials this year the Gull
potatoes which have had practical
ly no market proved as desirable
a feed as corn silage. The Gull ap-
piles also proved a satisfactory SUBJ
stitute for corn silage for fatten-
ing lambs.
Following the luncheon for the
visitors by the Prosser Commun-
ity club, a short program was held.
Dean Edward C. johnson stressed
the place of the experiment sta
tion and the Washington State
College and its relation to the best
interests of the agricultural folk
of this state. Mr.. Charles Heath

sized the necessity of a mutual
