Hon. Gilbert N. Haugen Congressman from Iowa.
"Once the individual competition has been
destroyed the danger lies in that without
competition it may become powerful threat
to our economic welfare, not only to the con-

farmer who sell his farm products to

REPUBLICAN CLUB | ASkSLAW REPEAL
National Organization Votes Against Prohibition in Meeting

New York, March II (UP)-The National Republican club was on record today for repeal of the 18th amendment.
 After four hours of bitter debate, in which parliamentary tactics verging upon the purely technical were frequently restored to, club members voted 461 to 345 for q resolution calling upon republican representative in congress to "advo- cate and vote for repcal'
 Those in the minority side did not wish to put the club on record as either wet or dry.
 Many Send Proxies
 More than 200 members attended while proxies from members throughout the country made up the rest of the vote. The total vote represented about 45 per cent of the clubs approximate membership of 1900.
 The prohibition issue was forced last February 1o when ] 5 members, headed by Frederic R. Coudert, Jr.. by petition compelled the secretary to call a special meeting to vote on the resolution, proposed by Coudert republican candidate for district at torney last fall
 Two votes were taken before the actual vote on the resolution en- sued. The proponents of repeal won them both The first vote was taken on motion to table both the Coudert resolution and a sub stitute resolution by Andrew E. Humphrey. which, in essence was that republicans seeking q change in the republican platform should proceed through the regular party channels and not through the club.

True, she had had very narrow escape herself; but, due to the very fact that she had been seen and an alarm had been raised, she had after all. saved the contents of MT. Murkman's safe.
 The library window, she knew, was on the side of the house facing the apartment. and whoever had been there in the library could not have helped but hear the shouting. Fortunately, as it turned out, sne | had not got the safe open; and whoever was there, Roy or anothcf would be too much concerned with his own escape then, and in getting the door of the room rather than that of any safe open!
 She was dressed now. and was scrubbing the grime from her face and hands. Her hat. Yes, that ha been serious-almost the most ser ious thing of all.
 Not the hat itself the police would be lons time in tracing Martha Debbin's old hat. But the fugitive was certain to be known as a woman without a hat. Those in the windows of the apartment house who had seen her running out of the GreaWay would know that and report it. The taxi driver. would probably toll the police about her if he learned they were looking for her.
 But now, for the first time, . faint smile crossed Enid's lips. She felt quite sure she would never be traced through any information the taxi driver could give.
 She had aljghted from the taxi in front of house on the next street, and had nonchalantly-1t least she hoped she had given the impression of being nonchalant about it mounted the steps and had pretended to ring the bell The taxi had driven aWay-and she had descended the steps. After that, by means of vacant lot she had, without being obliged to show her SSiL Cll tltACl ol tHe dN SIutS, gained her own street and house. She did not think that she had been seen by anyone.
 She nodded her head emphatic ally. She was quite sure that she had got safely away and she was particularly grateful for one thing. She had thought of that almost from the moment her hat had fal- len from her head-the fact that Runty had substituted a piece of plaster for the bandage. The addi- tional description of a bandagad head would not perhaps have helped the police any-but it would have spelled disaster and the end for her. A woman with bandaged head would have been vitally sig nificant-to Roy!
 Or even the description of a wo- man with a wounded head. Yes. but no one had seen that strip If plaster. The taxi driver hadn't. Shs had been most careful about t.i..,.

She went downstairs, ewitchc on the light in her little living room, and sat down at the desk.
 There was nothing to do now but wait for Roy-and think. If she could only stop thinking for a little while! But the perils were so many, and the road ahead was so hard to see.
 There was the element of per- scnal danger to herself at the hands of Mrs. Kane and Iz.y Myers. She had not minimized that Ganger, but so far it had not been crucial. They would strike the first chance they got she knew that. Not tonight, she felt satisfia l of that. for, if tho@7 warnings about Tristy Morgan meant any thing, Izzy Myers would not be con- cerned with her for the moment. But tomorrow, or the next day yes. How was she 10 protect her. self?
 What was she to do: She did no. know. They were afraid of her, anl they meant to put her out of the way-she was not deceived on that score.
 They were afraid of her influence over Roy, and, in view of that sud. den and, to her, terrifying declara- tion of love he had made tonight. they were in a measure justifieJ ] in their fears; but she had begun to be desperately afraid that no influence of Aers would turn him from the life he was leading, and to be still more afraid that she would never be able to make him believe he vas Roy Howard and not Worry Kane. But they did not realize that!
 What safety could there be for her-eXcept in flight? She shook her head. If the Big Shot, Roy, were not her brother, the whole aspect would be changed: but even so there would still be Phil.
 The door bell startled her.
 There Roy was now She WAS quite safe, he could not possibly know anything, she had argueI that all out with herself-but there came a sudden stab Of fear as she rose hastily to her feet and started for the door. He would be in an ugly mood, of course; but he could have no reason to suspect her. She had only to keep her wits about her. and surely she could do that.
 The bell rang again before she reached the door-rang impatiently, viciously almost, it seemed. Ger tainly, and from his standpoint with good reason, he was in no docile or pleasant humor.
 She opened the door and the next instant drew back with a low, startled cry, as s,.e stared at the figure standing there on the stoop.
 It wasn't Roy; it was Phil.

This motion was defeated 479 to 360. Then a vote was taken on the Hum- phrey substitute and it was defeated 46O to 345.
 Many Charges Hurled
 The debate was filled with charges from the wet side that the opposi- ton lacked courage to face a recog- nized issue while the other side ac- cused Coudert's followers with risk ing disruption Of the club for the sake of "fanatical propaganda"
 Prediction that numerous resigna- tons would result from the vote were freely made by opponents of the resolution. They declared that the vote, if it should prove to be for the resolution. would place the club in opposition to the party's Kansas City platform and the Hoover ad- nlinistration.
 In answer. the vets said that while the national platform and the Hoover administration upheld en- torcement of the 18th amendment. neither denied the right of citizens 10 advocate a change in law.
 Text of Resolution
 Following is the resolution. pro posed by Coudert:
 Whereas the existence Of the 18th amendment to the constitution Of the United States is disruptive of our federal system in that it is de- StruCtlNe Of the rights of tho eto +ec so effectively described in Lincoln's platform in the following words:
 The maintenance inviolate of the rights of the state, and especial ly the right of each state to order and control its own domestic institu' tons according to it's own judgment exclusively, is essential 10 the bal anco of powers on which the per lection and endurance of our po- litical fabric depends
 Now, therefore, be it resolved that the National Republican club urges the representatives Of the re- publican party in both houses of congress to advocate and vote for the repeal of the 18th amendment in order to restore the American form of government

She had not been gone, then, much more than an hour at most but, even so, If it had been Roy who had been concealed behind those portiers, he might be back at any moment now. He had said he was coming back for her, hadn't he? Yes, but suppose he had been trapped in that room - that she had trapped him? The alarm hal been raised. Suppose that he had been caught there?
 She cried out a little-sharply- as she tore off her clothes. Her thoughts would not let her alone. From the moment she had got into the taxi her thoughts had driven her nearly frantic. They were driv- ing her frantic even now.
 No, he wouldn't have been caught mot Roy! It would have taken more than a locked door to do that. If it was Roy who had been there he was too clever--she swallowed hard -too criminally clever to De caught as easily as that!
 But why should she think it was Roy at all? She had not seen him any more th1n he had seen her. Why was she SO convinced that the man behind the portieres had been Roy? It was logically Roy.
 But it might have been someone else. Yes-she was putting on her cwn clothes now it might haze been: but why worry about that? Whether it was Roy or some other thief. it had turned out better than she had thought it possible when she had run from the room.

FARMER Is UNDAUNTED
BY THIEVES AND WEATHER
Onions Swept Away or Raided.
ohioan Determined to Harvest
Crop Before He's $50.


KENYON. Ohio, October 8 (N.A.N.A).
One Of the oldest farmers in Ohio,
Martin Van Buren, kissing Of Kenton
says cheerfully that neither hard luck
nor the meanest thieves in the world
can keep good man down."
For several years the elements have
conspired to rob him of onion crops,
winds blowing the seeds from the
ground at least twice each Spring. Last
year, after losing his onions, he planted
late potato crop and couldn't harvest
them until the bottom had dropped out
Of the market. This year winds again
spilled the onion seeds over the sur
rounding landscape and potatoes again
were planted. Recently he found
thieves had raided his fields and taken
most of his maturing crop.
Optimistically, he declares that some
time between now and his 150th birth
day he will sow and harvest q crop Of
onions in the same year.
