Maryland Governor Criticizes

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., June II.
Gov. Albert c. Richie of Maryland
remarking the Republican party "ap-
parently' did not intend that its pro-
hlbltion plank be understood, said last
night he expected the Democratic con-
Vention to adopt plank that would
mean the end of national prohibition. !"
Gov. Ritchie, contender for the
Democratic presidential nomination, said
In commenting on the Republican
resubmisSion plank:
1T Is all very significant here
is the Republican national administra-
ton, elected in 1928 by the dry forces
ana now unable to stand up against
the increasing wave Of anti-prohibition.
sentiment. A remarkably large minority
IN the convention were fearlessly for
straight repeal. The rest were forced
to admit at last that there must be
some modification of the eighteenth
amendment.
1T must have been a wrench for the
Republican forces to conceive that
something has to be done, and the pity
is that their convention would not face
the issue, instead of adopting a plank
which apparently was not intended to
be understood.
Il have every hope and confidence
that the Democratic convention will
adopt plank which will mean the end
of national prohibition and the return
OF the whole question to the States.
I have been fighting for this for 10
years, and now at last it Is coming to
be recognized as the only solution"
Gov. Ritchie expects to remain here
on holiday until Saturday.

Author of Enforcement Act Against
Any Change in Federal
Liquor Laws.

ST. PAUL. June 17:-Andrew j. vol
stead, co-author of the Federal prohi-
bition enforcement act, yesterday ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with the prohi-
bition plank adopted by the Repub-
lican National Convention.
A Republican himself, he consistently
has declared in favor of anti-liquor
laws as they now are and has opposed
all suggestions of change.
Volstead, now legal adviser to the
Northwest prohibition administrator
here, said putting the platform provi-
sions into effect probably would mean
a Swedish or Canadian system of ham
ding liquor here"
The convention controversy, he con-
tinued, shows at least one thing clear
ly-that is, that the vets want the re-
turn of the saloon. They are sailing
under false colors and have been right
along. Their dissatisfaction with the
plank shows they will be satisfied only
with return of the saloon

CHICAGO, June 17-There is no
question about who will be chief woman
campaigner in an effort to win again
in 1882 for Herbert Hoover that FEM
inine vote triumphant in 1928-it will
be Dolly Gam.
Doughty, strategy-wise Dolly will at
the same time be fighting for her
brother Charles Curtis to win at the
November polls as she fought for and
helped win the vice presidential nomi-
nation for him in Chicago.
Looking astutely forward, she start
ed her campaign year ahead of yes
terday's showdown. travelling from
city to city. talking from the platform
Herbert Hoover and the Republican
party, chatting on the side about
Brother Charlie.
And how it did count for her here!
The men strategists couldn't think up
counter-candidate moves fast enough to
balk her, as she stanchly stood her
ground on that built-up, vote-pulling
popularity.
Helped by Fun Making.
All the twitting and the fun-making
about that Gann-Longworth contro-
versy, talked on country-club piazzas
and in sewing circles the Nation over,
turned to her advantage.
That was what brought the women,
by thousands, to hear Dolly Gam
wherever a speech was announced.
They came and she won them, and the
men knew it.
The old chatter of Alice Longworth's
silent feud against her followed her
here, continued to the last convention
moment with talk still scurrying the
rounds that Alice in the gallery across
was playing her pawns to Illustrate
Dolly.
It may have been Just talk, but 1t
sharpened interest.
After that tense moment came when
the Pennsylvania delegation switched
and Curtis was nominated, Dolly got
the ovation.
Besieged for Autograph.
Women clamored around her, hold
ing up their programs to be auto
graphed, jostling with importuning
photographers and reporters, begging
her boldly scrawled Dolly Gam" to
top the thick book Of convention pro-
ceedings.
For many of the heroine worship
pers, Dolly Gam was the convention.
She autographed, and she autographed,
until her car came and her chauffeur
was starting of.
And the lifted programs were still
stretched toward her, beseechingly.

astute politician.

ST|MSON DENIES
DRY LAW STRADDLE
Declares Repeal Would Have
Branded 13 Years Work
as Entire Failure.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 17.-Secretary Of
State Henry L. Stimson described the
Republican prohibition as a program
that would preserve the benefits derived
from the eighteenth amendment and
at the same time eliminate the evils.
The attitude of critics that the plank
represents a .straddle" was deprecated
by Stimson as quite unfcunded.'
1T is perfectly consistent" he said;
perfectly definite and perfectly logical.
It is well founded in law and fact
Stimson, speaking over the radio last
night, said Senator Bingham's minority
proposal. which called for outright re-
peal, was IAN impatient demand to
abrogate the entire work of the past 13
years under the prohibition amend
mend and to confess it to be an entire
failure"
Such a proposal, he said. was tanta-
mount to asserting that everything which
We have done during those years was
useless or evil"
Attacks Repeal Plan.
Declaring the eighteenth amendment
represented the elimination of long
effort to combat and remedy very seri-
GUS evils" Stimson said:
be going back to those evils, accentuated
by the more complicated conditions Of
modern life. as well as by the sudden
and immediate destruction of the ma
chinery upon which we now rely"
On the other hand, he said, the pro-
gram as adopted takes into account
the difficulty that would be encountered
by dry States in policing their own ter
ritory against liquor traffic from wet
States. Modern transportation means
would accentuate that difficulty to a
great degree, he said.
These are the considerations" he
continued. which caused the majority
of the Resolutions Committee of the
posal which, while it allowed the States
to deal with this problem as their cit
izens may determine, imposes at the
same time the condition that this priv
ilege should be subject always to the
power of the Federal Government to
protect those States where prohibition
may exist, and safeguard our citizens
everywhere from the return OF the
saloon and its attendant abuses.
Declares Course Is Wise.
ut is far-sighted provision, a wise
provision. most necessary provision.
Stimson emphasized the majority pro-
posal does not seek to continue to per-
petuate the Federal snoOper in those
States which wish to deal with the
problem themselves"
Whatever its failures and shortcom-
ings, he said, the eighteenth amend
ment carried the faith and aspirations
of millions of men and women, and ito
ruthlessly destroy such faith by indis-
criminately condemning an effort like
the eighteenth amendment, instead OF
taking the trouble to disentangle the
real gains which have been accom-
plished from the evils which have been
incurred. would be an act of social folly
and national wrong"

BY WILL p. KENNEDY,
STAFF CORRESPONDENT OF The Star,

CHICAGO. Ill, June 17.-Former
Senator Joseph l. France of Maryland,
who was forcefully elected with police
escort from the speakers stage at the
Republican National Convention yes
terday when he was endeavoring to
nominate Calvin Coolidge and stampede
the convention, closed his campaign
headquarters here last night.
While directing the taking down Of
the large placards which had pro-
claimed that he had 231 delegates in
structed to vote for him, with a popu-
lar vote Of 1,122.766, Mr.. France ex-
planned that he had never expected to
be nominated himself. but that as a
conscientious duty he had made fight
against the denomination Of President
Hoover and sought to place the nomi-
nation Of "a man who would be the
choice of the convention"
But by roughneck. illegal methods
they prevented me" he declared, and
claims he had right to address the
convention on three grounds: First, he
argued, he was entitled to a place on
the platform because he held a proxy
for Maryland's Republican national
committeeman. Senator William c.
Jackson. whose replacement by Senator
Goldsborough was not effective until
after the close of the convention.
Claims Personal Privilege"
Second, he says, he had a right to
address the convention by personal
privilege" because his name had just
been placed in nomination and he
sought to withdraw, claiming that Rep
resentative Bertrand H. Smell, the
chairman, later exercised the same
privilege in Withdrawing his own name
when delegate from Texas had nomi-
mated him for Vice President.
Third. he had credentials as an elect
ed delegate from Oregon. and at the
time he sought to address the assem-
blage oregon was still recognized on
the roll call of States. because L. B
Sandblast of oregon had just finished
his speech nominating Mr.. France
He emphasized before starting back
home to Maryland that he had ex-
planned all this to Chairman Smell in
answering questions, but that the latter
called sergeant at arms, whom France
brushed aside. and then he was taken
in charge by the police.
