DIGEST PLANS
1882 POLL ON
CANDIDATES
Rumor Says Names of Calvin
Coolidge and Al Smith Will
Be Included on Ballots
BY ROBERT S. ALLEN
Copyright. 1881. by International
News SerVice)

Authoritative information that
the Literary Digest is planning a
national poll of Presidential can
didates aroused wide interest
among political leaders here to-
day.
Such a test of public sentiment
on party selections was viewed by
party managers here as likely to
shed a very penetrating light
upon the selections of the nomi-
mating conventions next June.
Include Coolidge, Smith
Because of the high repute of
the Digest polls in the past, po-
'itical leaders declared. an over
whelming Endorsement of any can
didate in the forthcoming poll
would unquestionably strengthen
his position powerfully in the
nominating race.
Political quarters here have
been advised that the present
plans of the editors contemplate
the inclusion in the list Of candi-
dates the names of both former
President Calvin Coolidge and for
mer Gov. Alfred E. Smith.
1t has been rumored in Ad-
ministration quarters in the past
few days that Mr.. Coolidge will
shortly take himself definitely
out of the 1892 race. One of
Mr.. Hoover's friends recently as.
serted that in the near future
Mr.. Coolidge will make public a
communication saying he is not
a candidate and declaring him,
self for President Hoover.
A Race Of Interest
Mr.. Smith has maintained a
tight-lipped silence on his plans
A poll contest between him and
Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, of
New York, the leading Demo
cratic contender for the 1892
nomination, would rival in inter
est a test between Mr.. Coolidge
and President Hoover.

Wet Stand "Put Over" BY
Minorities in Organizations
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
Genuinely alarmed over the
powerful national influences that
have been thrown against prohi-
bition in recent weeks, the Fed
Grafton of Allied Dry Organiza-
tions announced today a program
Of retaliatory tactics against those
organizations that have gone
wet"
Singled out for special atten-
tiOn by the drys are the Ameri-
can Legion, the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, the American
Bar Association and the Ameri-
can Medical Association.
All of these, in convention this
year, denounced the Eighteenth
Amendment and demanded, at
least, modification of the Volstead
act.
Bore From Within"
The dry strategy is to bore
from within" in each of these
numerically and politically power
full associations, with the ultimate
objective of so mobilizing the DRY
members that the declarations of
opposition to existing dry laws
may be repudiated at some future
date.
Special drives to fortify and in
crease the dry elements in each
OF these great organizations are
planned, it was announced by DR..
Ernest c. Cherrington, chairman
OF the dry group.
He cOntended that the antiprO-
hibitiOn resolutions in each case
had been put over" by a small
but militant minority which
caught the drys unaware and un-
organized for resistance.
The majority of the member
ship of all four organizations,
Mr.. Cherrington said, are in favor
Of prohibition, but have been in
artlculate or have been steam
rollered" by their leaders.
ut is self-evident," he said,
shat the action taken by the
Legion delegates is not repreSen-
tative Of the whole body of
legiOnnaires, but was rather
practically the expression of
merely personal opinion by a
small percentage of those who
were mustered into the service"
Lawyers Aid Sought
He said special campaigns will
be directed toward the hundreds
Of thousands Of members of labor
unions whose support of prohibi-
ton is being ignored by profes-
sional labor leaders"
And as for the legal and medi-
cal associations, Mr.. Cherrington
asserted:
"The lawyers of the country
who support the Eighteenth
Amendment will be especially
appealed to under practical
plan which will enable these
sworn officers of the courts to
regard seriously their Oaths to
support the Constitution"

clamored for an explanation of the
joint secrets between Bruening and

ruptions, Bruening declared his aims
were not fundamentally different
from the National opposition, but
that his methods, however, were diff
ferent.
Bruening stated that he advanced
gradually without catastrophe, whilst
the National policy was calculated
to forge the workers into united
front. Was it not an extraordinary
fact that despite the radical wage
cuts, there had not been a single
strike Of any Importance" Bruening
asked. The immediate cause Of the
German crisis, he said, was the lavish
taking up Of short term credits. He
stated that 1t was impossible to raise
the reparations question previously
because this would have meant the
immediate withdrawal Of all these
credits and collapse. The solution
Of the economic crisis must come
through an international conference
at which reparations must be dis
cussed. He declared the coming VIM
