for New Deal.
BY THOMAS 6. FORD
United Press star Correspondent


ALBANY. N. Y, Sept. 26.-The
New York state Republican con-
vention today adopted party plat
form favoring repeal of the prohi-
bition laws.
The prohibition plank was draft
ed in an sil-night session by the
committee on rules and resolutions
and was passed by the convention
by vote of 753 to 258.
The plan was adopted without de-
bate on the convention floor. After
the remainder of the platform had
been approved by the delegates for
nner United States william M. Cal
der moved adoption of the section
calling for repeal of the prohibition
law. The vote began Immediately.
No Minority Report
No attempt was made by drys to
present a minority report.
With the adoption of the plat
form, the convention adjourned un-
til 2 D. m, when it was expected
state ticket to be headed by United
States Attorney Charles H. Tuttle
of New York for Governor would
be nominated.
The nomination of futile follow
ing adoption of the prohibition
platform plank was to complete the
transformation of the New York
Republican party into q wet party.
Senator John Knight, chairman
of the resolutions committee, was
called upon to read the platform.
He was greeted with applause from
the wet side, the victors in the long
and bitter fight for declaration for
repeal.
The prohibition plank was the
last. When Knight read the cap
ton Prohibition" the convention
broke into cheers and it was sew
eral minutes before he could pro-
ceed.
Waves of Applause Break
Waves of applause swept back and
forth as the chairman read with
emphasis the phrases stating the
beliefs of the opposing side.
When he read we favor repeal of
the eighteenth 4mendment' the
delegates rose and cheered wildly.
The women's bands added to the
din.
The plank stipulated that with
repeal Of the eighteenth amend
ment. a new amendment would be
adopted outlawing the saloon in the
United States forever and pledg-
ing cooperation of the federal gov
ernment in helping the states which
adopt prohibition laws, to enforce
them.
The conventions action made po-
litical history. marking the first &C
tual departure of the Republican
party from its stand in support of
the eighteenth amendment and the
Volstead law.
Drys Call Session

stand for repeating the prohibition
amendment. called a conference to-
day at which it was intended to
launch a third party ticket, much
the same as in 1926, when a prohibi-
ton candidate was credited with
having caused the defeat of former
Senator James w. Wadsworth, who
is leading the wet faction which
took control of the convention.
The dry conference was called by
Mrs. D. Leigh Colvin. state presi-
dent of the w. c. r. u. who an

The greatest loss on any single

price of milk has dropped notice.
