A Great Pillar
Of Strength

The gubernatorial nomi-
nee, Col. Herbert 81. Lehman,
is a great pillar of strength
to the entire ticket. A man
of fine ability, universally
conceded executive capacity,
of unquestioned personal
and business integrity, with
the very highest ideals Of
citizenship, and with a
record in office that looms
like a lighthouse in the sea,
he is admittedly one of the
great human assets Of a
great community. A man of
wealth, he has given Of his
substance unstintingly for
humanity. But more impor-
tant than his philanthropy is
his concept of the duty of
organized society toward
the unfortunates.
There was no recognition
Of this obligation until the
Democrats came into the
gubernatorial office under
AL Smith. He wrought great
humane reforms, took bunk
out of politics, rendered the
rarest service in the business
management of affairs, and
made government the agency
for the advancement of the
welfare of men, women and
children. It was he who
took a stand for the protec-
tion Of the public interest in
the matter of the power re-
sources of the people. The
exploiters were against him;
the people with him. He
raised a standard of public
service to which all we'll dis
posed people of all political
persuasions could repair
with satisfaction.
It was he who summoned
Roosevelt to the succession
and the Smith policies and
outlook have not changed.
And now Smith and Roose-
welt. have summoned Leh-
man to continue the Smith
traditions. His defeat would
be the triumph of reaction,
a loss to humanity, the
scrapping of the Smith and
Roosevelt policies-and the
people are in no mood for
that.

 Washington. Nov 26.-(UP)- Leaders of both parties in the house were working today on e plan for a showdown vote on pro- hibition repeal on the opening day of congreSs December 6.
 Speaker Garner and Republican Leader Shell sdlscussed the strategy at a secret conference last night. They planned to seek the opinion of other prominent members of both parties today. Shell said he had not made any definite agree ment with Garner.
 At the same time 1t was learned that Representative McDuffie, Ala. the democratic whip, has dispatch cd notices to all democratic house members. urging them to be on hand for Important business when the short session convenes at noon a week from Monday.
 The tentative strategy calls for an attempt to consider repeal resolution under suspension of the rules. It requires two-thirds vote to suspend the rulcs--the same vote. required to submit any repeal amendment to the states.
 Whether vets can muster this strength in the hold-over, "lame- duck" session is debatable. Hith- erto they have been concentrating on plans for early passage of q beer measure modifying the Vol stead act. This needs only a ma jority vote. The rnpidity with which previously dry congressman have been switching to the other side has now encouraged them to hope for early passage of repeal amendment.
 The plan for first-day vote on repeal presIpposes that vets of both parties can settle in advance their differences as to the form of the repeal resolution.
 The democratic platform called

The exercises are scheduled for 11:10 o'clock.
 The members of the class have been preparing for tomorrow eve ming for several weeks past. The number indicates the rapid growth of the Our Lady of Mt Carmel par 1ah and the increasing number of fanailies in the Town Plot section of the city.

Leaders Of Both
 Parties Working For Show Down.
Speaker Garner and Republican Leader Shell Dis. cussed in Secret Conference Last Night the Chances of Forcing Beer Bill Right at Start

for unqualified repeal of the 18th amendment. The republican plat form. on the other hand, proposed a substitute amendment guarnn- teeing protection to dry states and forbidding return of the saloon. A pending repeal resolution by Senaz tor Glass, democrat, Va, embodieg similar plan.
 Should a repeal resolution Dc passed early in the short session, 1t would be fin q favorable position for quick action by the states. To become effective, repeal amend- ment must be ratified by 90 states through action by state legislhturea or special conventions called by the legislatures. Forty-one of the AS state leglsiatuyes meet in January. The conference between Garner and Shell followed declaration by Shell that repeal should be con- sidered before beer. "The only way the people can get what they want is by repeal of the 18th amend ment," Shell asserted.
 Senator Borah, republican, Idaho. while opposing both beer and re- peal, also took the view that repeal should be considered first.
 An Anti-saloon league spokes- man said that organization would act merely in q cooperative capac- fly in any challenge to volstcad modification.
 There are several ways modifls cation could be challenged" the United Press was informed. "An attorney general of a dry s.ate might raise the question. Some soft drink dealer might seek an in- junction."
