LEADING HORSES
 ID FACE BARRIER
Richest Turf Award Dangles Before Eyes of Owners

New York. Sept. 12 P-America's richest turf award dangled in front of nearly score of the country's best juveniles today as they went through the final stages of prepara- ton for the fist running of the fu- turity at Belmont park tomorrow.
 The winners share of the purse will exceed s100,0O0, several thou sand dollars above the amount paid for any other race event on the American continent this year.
 The seven furlong dash for two year olds, shapes up as strictly a contest between George D. Wideners S Jamestown, Harry Payne Whitneys Equipoise and Clifford A. Cochrans s Epithet, each of which will pack 130 pounds.
 Jamestown probably will face the barrier the favorite at odd of 13 to 5 or even shorter. The big son of St. James swept through all of the Saratoga two year old prizes with the exception of the Hopeful, in which he was beaten by Epithet, and on Wednesday turned the futurity course in 1:26, an impressive trial.
 Equipoise, which also has given evidence that he can carry weight, covered the seven -eighths in 1:29 2-5, the first six furlongs in 1:15 2-5. exactlytthe same as Jamestown's six furlong time. The Whitney ace was beaten by nose in the Champagne last Saturday but he was conceding Jumps of weight to Mate, the win ner, and was further handicapped by a IT minute delay at the post.

GERMAN
 PARTIES POPULAR
Other Y Or So Not Likely to
 Poll Large.'Vote

, Berlin, Sept. 12 P-Of the twenty cdd political parties bidding for the votes of the German electorate at the Reichstag election Sunday, there are only three which can safely be- expected to hold their own.
 They are the social-democrats, who have hitherto held 153 seats, the Catholic center party, with 61 mandates, and its equally Catholic annex. the Bavarian peoples party, represented in the last Reichstag by IT members.
 Extremists Gaining
 Two parties, the extremists of the right and of the left, are conceded substantial gains.
 The social are pre- eminently the party of the German industrial worker.
 Time and again the social-demo- cratic party has been numerically the largest in the Reichstag.
 The centrists and Bavarian peo- 'ple's party enjoy tremendous ad- vantage in that a common religious belief can unite capitalist and work CT, conservative, liberal, and even radical in one political party. f National Socialists Popular
 The national socialist party, of which Adolph Hitler is the moving spirit, has been gaining steadily of late at the expense of the German nationalists. The party is anti-Jew- ish, anti-Catholic, pan-German rather than German, fanatically na- tional, openly opposed to the pres ent state through equally cautious about a monarchy. and bidding for workers votes on an almost socialist platform.
 ~ If recent state elections are any barometer the fascists should make large gains. In the last Reichstag they had twelve seats. Communists are expected to increase their do- main of 54 seats.

OHIO REPUBLICANS
 REJECT WET PLEA
Repeal Plank Voted Down By
 Committeeman

Columbus, O.. Sept. 12 P-Ohio republicans apparently will stand behind the leadership of Senator Simeon D. Fess, national chairman ia declining to make prohibition at issue in the fall campaign.
 An attempt to place an 18th Amendment repeal plank in the platform or at least a call for a state referendum on the question, was throttled by an overwhelming majority by the resolutions commit tee at the party's state convention last night
 Rejects Alderman Plea
 By vote of IS to 8, the commit tee rejected proposal of State Senator Joseph N. Alderman of Cleveland to insert a stand against prohibition in the platform, and by the same majority rejected another of his proposals calling for a state referendum on the question:
 Alderman, who received only the support of his two Cleveland col leagues, Frank Harold and John R. Jones, announced he would attempt to carry his fight to the floor of the convention today, but political lead CTS foresaw little possibility of any decision other than previously plan ned-a general declaration in favor of all law enforcement.
 State Chairman Edward D. Schorr of Cincinnati, in voting against the Alderman proposals, said while he might have similar personal views on the liquor prob lem, he considered that prohibition is not an issue and therefore has no place in the platform.
 Others Urge Action
 State Senator George H. Bender of Cleveland and Wilbur White, Toledo congressional nominee, also came armed with prohibition resolu- tions. but said they expected to be voted down by the resolutions com mittee and "that they would not force the fight to the floor. .-..--
 White, nominated on a wet plat form, urged plank for repeal of the 18th Amendment and with Bender advocated a referendum on both the national and state laws. Bender was denied permission to appear before a full committee. but he and White were permitted to go before a sub committee when they announced they would place the matter before the convention in general if they were not heard.
 The prohibition question was the chief problem of the resolutions committee. Otherwise it was ready to draft 0 platform standing upon
