Efforts to placate dissenting

early abdication of j. Finley Will
son as grand exalted ruler of the
order.
Wilson has been heading the
body for nearly 10 years. During
this time the membership has in
creased to more than 100000.
Dissension began with the with
drawal of the Virginia State
lodge for the purpose of setting
up a separate lodge. The case
was carried to the United States
Circuit Court of Virginia where
the Wilson wing filed suit to re-
strain the Virginia group from
using the name of the grand

last night opened their debating
season, with representatives Of

SECOND TERM
VERIFIED BY
PLEDGE
Presidents Ambition to Run
in 1882 Assured by Action;I
q More Wet States to Follow

President Hoover received his
first 1882 Valentine today.
1t was in the form of an an
nouncement in New York by w.
Kingland Macy. Republican State,
chairman, that New York Re.
publicans will go to the national
convention next year pledged to
vote for his denomination.
This is the first of what is ex-
pected to be a string of such
announcements. during the next
Is months. It is merely confirma-
tory of what Washington has long
accepted as a fact-that Mr..
Hoover will be a candidate to sue
ceed himself and that there is
slight prospect of any formidable
opposition.
The Republicans of New York
are wet, at least the controlling
majority of them. For the first
time since prohibition was en-
acted Republican vets seized con-
troll of the party machinery in
the last campaign, and nOmi-
mated a wet ticket on a wet plat
form.
Vets are certainly in control
In New Jersey, and if they do not
actually control in Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode
island and a few other States the
margin is so slight that a coin
probably could be tossed for it.
If, as expected, the Macy an
nouncement is followed by SINH
lar announcements in these other
States, it simply means that the
Republicans will submerge or
ignore the prohibition question,
renominate Mr.. Hoover on a dry
platform, and take their chances
in 1882 on that basis.
And if, as politicians here ex-
pect, the Democrats nominate a
wet candidate on a wet platform,
1892 will see an election fought
out on prohibition to a far greater
extend than it ever has been be-
fore.
It does not mean, however, that
the Republican vets are going to
give up without a struggle. There
is in every Republican organiza-
tion in the East, and particularly
in New York. a "die hard wet
group that is going to insist that
the party platform make some
concession to the thousands of
Republicans along the Atlantic
seaboard who believe that prohi-
bition is a failure.

CHILDREN SEND
VALENTINES

Thousands of children and
lovers were observing st. Valen-

Among those to receive valen-
tines were the Hoover children

and her brother, Herbert 3rd.,
while little Paulina Longworth,
daughter of the Speaker and Mrs.
Longworth, will combine the sig
nificance of this day with that
Of her sixth birthday. She will
have a party with a birthday
cake bearing six candles.
Grown-ups will also have their
fling in expressing sentiment on
this day. Candy, flowers, cards
and kilograms valued at thou
sands of dollars will be ex-
changed. Gift shops have fea-
tured valentines for sweethearts
and relatives and the prices range
from cents to 81. The tele-
graph companies sent out great
patches of messages, held for
release today.

Y n the last two years we have experienced in
iii this country probably one of the worst de-
pressions known and yet it is proven that
of the few industries that has not suffered
to any great extent is the motion picture bust
ness, and in Washington less than any other
place, since the District of Columbia is naturally
nearly depression-proof because of the fact that
it is the seat of our Federal Government
The romance of the motion picture business
has generally been of great interest," it is very
fascinating and has grown by leaps and bounds
far beyond any ones fondest expectations. Start
ing as somewhat of novelty and rather sea-
sonal business, today it has become part of
the daily life of millions of people and has
changed from a seasonal to an all-the-year-
round business, due to the latest inventions of
cooling systems which make the theatre Just as
comfortable in the Summer as it is in the Winter
and which increases the profits to great extent
