ment, eliminating some Of the word
ing criticized in the statement pre-
pared at Dallas.
Officials Reticent
Just what parts of the latter are

democratic party simply one Of pro-
hibition or anti-prohibition, depend
in on the ciews Of its presidential
nominee. the statement declared.
The Catholic religious issue also IS
deulored. Right Of Catholics TO vote
against q protestant nominee as well
as vice versa, was recognized as a
matter OF consistency.
Pollard and Mars are expected 70
have a substitute statement late this
week. Pollard will be out Of town
for two or three days. He went 10
