BIZ Times Special
KANSAS CITY, June 13.-The
nomination of Herbert Hoover will
be very favorably received" by the
organized coal miners of the coun-

Workers chief, said today.
Hoover has an intelligent under
standing of the soft coal problem
and his attitude toward the diff

has been constructive, said Lewis.
Given a chance to work out a
program to put the industry on its
feet we think Hoover would go about
the job intelligently and effectively"
The organized miners, Lewis said,
are asking the Republican party to
do no more in its platform than
make general declaration
recognizing the Generalization of
the soft coal industry as a national
problem of the first Importance,

KANSAS CITY, June 13.-F
Scott Mcbride, general superin-
Jendent Of the Anti Saloon League
admitted to the Republican plat
form committee Tuesday night that
prohibition was not being enforced
and pleaded with the Republican
party to enforce it.
President Nicholas Murray Butler
Of Columbia University and former
Senator James Wadsworth of New
York, vets, admitted the evils {!
the liquor traffic, but insisted that
regulation and not prohibition was
the solution.
Prohibition is the worst possible
way of meeting the evils of the
liquor traffic. 1t will destroy the
States" said Butler.
Mcbride said; 1--WE are not ask
ing you to indorse the prohibition
principle That's settled. We ask
you to help settle the unsettled
question whether our Government
can enforce its own good law With
the people and the political leaders
alike back of it, the Government
can make good"

Happy in Building
Papers Helped

That such a man should become
the nominee of this convention is
almost incredible. To whom do we
owe this good fortune?-
Partly we owe it to the Scripps-
Howard papers, which had the
foresight and the initiative 70 de-
clare for him a year ago; which
fought for him with courage and
yet with courtesy, by spreading a
knowledge of what he had done:
which exposed day by day the
maneuvers Of the politicians who
sought to replace him with an auto
maton. Nothing in our generation
is finer than this act Of vision,
enterprise and audacity. Perhaps
the greatest achievement in the his
tory of American journalism.
Most of all, we owe the nomina-
ton of Herbert Hoover to the peo-
pie themselves. They we're intelli-
gent enough to want him. inSistent
enough to keep calling for him, cap
able enough to organize for him.
