PROHIBITION Big
ISSUE FOR PARTY
Democrats Must Settle This to
Get Harmony

Houston, June % P-Prohibition
stood forth TODAY as the chief prob
ltm with which democracy must
contend and conquer to insure party
harmony.
Submerging all other issues at a
time when indications point to the
selection of Governor Smith as the
party standard bearer, the protract-
ed controversy between the vets and
the drys apparently was injected
into nearly every angle OF pre-con-
vention proceedings.
The question of how it should be
handled found opinion divided into
three groups-one favoring a bone
dry plank in the party platform. an
other advocating repeal Of the 18th
amendment, and. third. proposing
a declaration in favor of law en-
the prohibition laws.
While accurate check OF this
thrice divided opinion was out of
the question, it appeared as if the
intermediate group could muster the
greater strength, and this gave rise
to many predictions that the demo-
Gratis would approve plank calling
for rigid law enforcement.
The belief that this latter group
held a whip hand brought forth a
number of expressions that the
question would be smoothed over be-
hind the closed doors OF the resolu-
tons committee and a fight averted
on the convention floor. Another
factor strengthening this belief was
an apparent desire on the part of
party leaders for harmony in all
proceedings.
Dangling before the eyes OF those
who hoped for such a peaceful out
come, was the spectre that the pro-
hibition fight might reach the floor.
In some quarters it was felt that the
ultra drys would battle to the last
ditch and those holding this view
referred to the many meetings being
held by law enforcement organixa-
tions in Houston as substantiating
their position.
Under the auspices, OF the ma
tlonal women's committee for law
enforcement two meetings We're held
yesterday at which Mrs. nellie G.
Burger, executive secretary of the
Womcn's Christian Temperance
Union, and Mrs. Jesse ". Nicholson
of the National Woman's Democratic
Law Enforcement League, vigorous
ly opposed the selection OF a wet
candidate and urged the democratic
hosts to rally around a dry plank
and a dry leader.
Other similar meetings were or
! the program for today, including 6
