CHARLESTON, w. Va, May 3d.
The contests for West Virginia S

developed in a nip and tuck race
in both Democratic and Republican
ranks.
Herbert Hoover was leading for
the Republican Endorsement and
Governor Alfred e. Smith for the
Democratic Endorsement this morn
ing, but their margins were slight.
Hoover had been running behind
during the night, but later returns
gave him a lead.
United States Senator Guy D.
Golf, favorite son candidate for the
Republican presidential nomination,
showed surprising strength, as did
Senator James A. Reed.
Returns this morning from 351 of
the States 2,3O6 precincts in the
Republican race showed: Hoover,
1909; Goff, 1894.
Returns from 800 precincts in the
Democratic race showed: Smith,

Six ticket booths were arranged
on the sidewalk outside the sta
ton and special entrance was pro-
vided for the race-goers. And the
inside Of the station was filed
with the throngs coming to the
race.
Streets were lined with visitors
standing, sitting on curbs, and sit
ting and sleeping in automobiles.
Majority of the persons sleeping
in cars we're those whose employ
ment kept them busy until late
Tuesday afternoon, forcing them
to make the trip at night.
They slept wrapped in robes,
extra coats and fur coats, for the
women were as prominent as a
winter day.
The men, most of them garbed
in knickers and colorful sweat
ers, outmatched the women, who
for the most part were garbed in
sport wear with washes of color
here and there.
Local cab companies set aside
many of their cars for exclusive
race service. Special Peoples
Motor Coach buses we're leaving
Illinois and Market Sts., on six
minute schedules. Regular bus
service to the Speedway also was
operating.
The weather man failed to spoi
the color of the big race much
thanks to the vogue for flaming
slickers. Few women appeared with
out gay topcoats or colored rain
coats.
The showers, however, did ruiz
the flags, bunting and blue and golc
Speedway decorations on paddocks
flag stats and grandstands. They
dropped disconsolately. And straw
hats-the dropping wrecks were
legion. Then the sun peeped out {
moment and the women took of
their slickers to disclose that they
had much of the usual f1nery.
The showers slowed up the crowc
and made the job of the army o.
traffic policemen worse than in for
mer years. The crowd came in {
last-minute rush instead of spread,
ing over the four hours before thl
race began.

Bergere Out First
Cliff Bergere, who earned number
three position in the first row in the
time trials, was the first on the
track and in position with his car.

thousands still were pouring in as
the officials prepared to get the con-

plucky De Palo last Saturday, quail
fed the Cloud early this morning.
Jimmy Hill. driving a Marion Chew
rolet Special, failed to make the

Lora Corum, co-winner of the
race in 1924, driving a Duesenberg,
came out of the northwest turn at
an eighty -mile-an-hour gait and
skidded into 'tailspin."
He crashed into the outer wall
and turned over three times, jump
ing the inside wall. Corum was un-
injured, save for cut over his left
eye and a discolored optic. The car
was wrecked.
Dutch Bauman, also driving a
Duesenberg, skidded into the inside
wall and broke a steering post. Bau-
man was not hurt, but the car was
damaged sufficiently to put it out of
the race.
Throngs poured into the vast
speedway enclosure from the mo-
ment the gates opened at 6 a. m.
until time for the race. The in
field was jammed with cars and
spectators, all milling around, eager
to get points Of vantage.
Rain shortly after 7 a. m. (E. S. T)
dampened the ardor of some of the
fans, and it was feared for a time
that the race would be postponed
until tomorrow.
At 9:45 the Multiple report bomb
was set off. At $50. 9.53 and 9:55
salute bombs were exploded in Or

may be traced to reformers. The Su-
preme Court of the United States long
before an Anti-Saloon League was even
dreamed about, before the days of the
Womans Christian Temperance Union,
before the days of the Prohibition party,
as far back as 1847, eighty-one years ago,
the highest judicial tribunal in Clristen-
DOM in the famous license cases IS How.
504) through Chief Justice Grier said,
1T is not necessary for the sake of
justifying the state legislation now
under consideration, to array the APP
palling statistics of misery, pauperism
and crime, which have their origin III
the USE or ABUSE Of ardent spirits"
A few years ago the same court, speak
ing through Mr.. Justice Harlan, i'll the
case of Mugler V. Kansas, 3 Sup. CT. Rep.
297, said:
I'VE cannot shut out of view the
fact, within the knowledge of all, that
the PUBLIC HEALTH, the PUBLIC
MORALS, and the PUBLIC SAFETY,
may be endangered by the general use
of Intoxicating drinks; nor the fact
established by statistics accessible to
every one, that the idleness, disorder,
pauperism, and crime existing in the
country, are, in some degree, at least,
traceable to this evil"
Only few years later, in the case of
Crowley V. Christensen Q37 u. S. 86, II
Sup. Court Rep. 49,, the Supreme Court
left no doubt about the status of the liquor
traffic, declaring that to the use of ardent
spirits obtained at the retail liquor
saloons of that day more than to any
other source was attributable the crime
and misery of the time, and then settled
once and for all the broad fundamental
constitutional question that
"There is no inherent right in
citizen to sell intoxicating liquors by
retail. 1t is not q privilege Of a citi-
zen of the state or Of a citizen of the
United States"
In later decisions is has been held both
by state and federal supreme courts that
there is no inherent right in citizen to
purchase Intoxicating liquors for beverage
purposes. Why? The reasoning of all of
these courts is based upon the broad
principle that under the social compact
upon which civilization rests in its organic
relations the admitted rights of individuals
as such are subservient to the rights of
the group as a whole. The illustrations
of the operation of this principle are
almost without number and SO generally
recognized and accepted that the matter
is no longer open to controversy. Even
one of Mr.. du Points powder houses can
not be placed when and where Mr.. Gu
Points agents or representatives may most
desire. 1t is a commodity with a recog-
nized hazard attached and therefore can
not be used for any and all purposes at
any and all times The right of the in
dividual to use du Pont powder is subject
to the larger, more comprehensive and
equally we'll established right of the group
to protect itself.
SOCIETY HAS RIGHTS
Mr.. du Point says that the drinking Of
liquor in moderation is no crime, not even

charged water from well, but the public
claims the right to seal that we'll on the
public highway so that the passing throng
may not be menaced thereby. Even gun
powder cannot be sold to any and all
parties applying in any quantity TO be
used for any and every purpose, for it is
recognized that in gunpowder there are
extraordinary possibilities in which the
public is directly concerned, and therefore
its use even for such patriotic purpose
as fireworks, cannon crackers, etc, is
limited at the point where it interfereS
with the safety, peace and good order
of the general public. GunpoWder is
very useful commodity, but even after
having been lawfully acquired it cannot
be used for any and every purpose which
the purchaser may conceive of, but only
for such purposes, at such times and such
places and under such regulations and re-
strictions as will promote the purpose
and best interests of society.
Now, intoxicating liquor in which the
primary constituent is alcohol is likewise
a dangerous commodity. It has been
recognized SO from the beginning Of time
and from. the days of Noah until now.
From the days of light natural wine
which made Noah'S sons ashamed of their
father down to the days of Pierre S. du
Pont alcohol by all the sages Of the pass
ing ages has been declared an enemy of
man. With all this Mr. du Pont will
probably agree.
MIXED IN HIS PHYSIOLOGY
Mr.. du Pont says:
prohibition is means of procedure
only; in it there is nothing of
morality, nor is it really social or
political question:; nor is it the first
time that the Importance of remedy
has been raised to exceed that Of the
disease to be cured"
Now, not to be too critical, one may
nevertheless say that Mr.. du Pont is
slightly mixed in his phraseology. In the
quotation above his subject is prohibition
and 'it" in the following clause refers to
prohibition, when what he evidently means
is the liquor question is not a social or
political question. Now is it? If the
statements made in the opening para
graphs Of this article are true, namely,
that one may not permit an open well
filled with typhoid germs to be accessible
to the passing public or may not sell
putrid meat or even give it away because
of the effects upon either the ignorant or
the wise public, and if one may not sell
explosives Unfortunately and if one may
not use them Unfortunately because of
the effect upon the rights of others, gen.
orally called the rights of society, is it not
quite possible that there may be some
similar reason for prohibiting the kind of
use which may be made of alcohol? Time
was when the only known uses of alcoholic
liquors were beverage and to less ex-
tent medicinal Now there are many
other and legitimate uses.
WHAT THE COURTS HAVE SAID
Along with many others, Mr.. du Pont
seems to think that all of the things that
have been said about alcoholic beverages
