PLANK IS

Party Position on Is
sue Chief Source of
Friction AS Farley
Gets Going

HOUSTON, June 2s.-P-Three
widely differing groups Of democrats
turned today to the resolutions COM
nllttee OF the national convention 10
light out the position the party must
take on the prohibition issue.
Unable to compose their views in
many pre-convention conferences,
each camp plunged into the fray with
determination TO battle to the end
Tor the u with which their lot
was cast.
On the one hand there were the
ultra-drys under leadership Of Dan
Moody, the youthful Texas governor,
and others lined up under dry ban
rers were such bulwarks of de-
mocracy as J~osephns Daniels Of
North Carolina, secretary Of navy in
the Wilson cabinet; Senator Carter
Class Of Virginia. a former secretary
of treasury under Wilson, and . host
Of other party leaders.
At the other extreme were the
vets, insistent upon a platform plank
declaring in favor OF some modiflca-
ton Of the prohibition laws. They
we're found chiefly under the stand
arr raised by Governor Albert c.
Richie Of Maryland, a champion Of
states rights, who has taken the po-
sition that the forty eight common
wealths should be given the power 20
settle the prohibition question for
themselves.
In between these two extremes was
q far larger group Of self-styled con-
servatives, intent upon the adoption
Of a plank declaring for rigid en-
forcement Of all laws including the
prohibition statutes, but at the same
time a plank that would not commit
the party 10 an extreme position upon
the one question which above all 9TH
ers has threatened TO disrupt the
spirit of harmony that has permeated
the gathering here Of the democratic
hosts for the convention opening to-
day.
Aside from these three main d.
visions, there were numerous minor
groups each with views OF a tangent
like nature and zach displaying ar
dent enthusiasm Tor their respective
positions. This latter class included
those who have declared that under
no conditions would they support a
wet candidate as we'll as those cham
pioning the outright repeal OF the
18th amendment.
But out Of this vortex OF conflict
ing opinions. there came a positive
current of thought which was epitom-
ized by Senator Edwards Of New
Jersey, an ardent wet, who said \ q
the battle should be fought out be-
hind the closed doors Of the resolu.
tions committee and not permitted
TO reach the convention floor.
Whether leaders would be able "a
hold the disagreeing groups under
control, however. remained a question
which no one was able 10 answer.
