Last of Week.

Saturday was prophesied by Senator
McNary of Oregon, assistant majority
leader Of the Senate. during a visit to
the White House today

finally vote on farm relief legislation
and with that out of the way will
quickly dispose of the Wagner $500, 000,
600 State relief bill and before the day
Is over will probably vote on the SOL
diers' bonus bill.
In suggesting the possibility of vote
on the bonus bill, Senator McNary
pointed out that as soon as the House
lIlLSlleS WIFI IL ClllS AFTERNOON, tIle
bonus bill will probably be forced out
on the floor Of the Senate without being
referred to the Finance Committee and
vote called at once.
The Oregon Senator said that 1t IS
possible that the Navy appropriation bill
as we'll as the independent Offices ap-
preparation bill will be disposed Of in
the Senate today. He said that the
Senate then can turn its attention to
cleaning up other pending matters Of
so-called major importance and unless
something unforeseen happens should,

MEETING OF CABINET

Mitchell-Receives Reports

President Hoover today held a cabi-
net meeting at the White House which
was the smallest in the matter of at
tendance since he became President.
At this meeting, besides the Presi-
dent, were only Attorney General
Mitchell and Secretary OF the Navy

the only ones in the Presidents official
family who did not leave Washington
to participate in the national conven-
ton in Chicago.
The session was brief one. The
President continued to keep in close
touch with developments in the con-
vention city and during the forenoon
received a number of telephone reports
from administration leaders in Chicago
The President did not listen in on
the radio during today's opening cere-

It was learned the Presidents per-
sonal representatives at Chicago during

the scene In Chicago have been maneu-
vering for 1t throughout the prelimi-
naries.

CHICAGO, June IA portion Of
the text of Senator L. j. DickinsonS
keynote speech before the Republican
National Convention follows:
Perhaps it was with prophetic vision
that the American people elected Her
bert Hoover four years ago with the
greatest popular and electoral college
vote any President ever received. At
any rate. he had scarcely taken the
oath of his Office before economic storm
clouds had begun to cast their sinister
shadow over the nations of the world.
His first act prevented a financial
panic. Invoking the powers Of the Fed
eral Reserve Board, he prevented this
catastrophe. Thus he cushioned the
effects of the debacle in Wall street
which followed the greatest period of
stock speculation the world had ever
known.
With the knowledge that every major
economic CONFUSION In the past had
been attended by strikes, riots, blood
shed and death, President Hoover's next
concern was to maintain social order
To this end he summoned to the White
House industrial leaders of the Nation
and obtained from them a promise to
maintain existing wage scales as long
as 1t was possible to do so.

labor, sitting around the same confer

Foes Failed in
Emergency.
SPEECH IGNORES
DRY LAW ISSUE
3 States Prepare
to Back Dawes
Against Curtis.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO,
Ill, June 14.-With the eyes Of
the Nation upon it, the twentieth
Republican National Convention
met today to renominate Presi-
dent Hoover; to determine what
course it shall pursue with regard
to national prohibition, and to lay
the groundwork for the party's
national campaign against the
Democratic enemy next Fall.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the decision regarding the presi-
dental candidate had long since
been made, there was tenseness
in the air as the delegates slowly
gathered in the great stadium.
The party was face to face with
a momentous decision on the
liquor question: question which
has aroused the interest OF more
people than any other since the
Republican National party dealt
with slavery in 1860.
Furthermore, there stalked-not IN
the background-the economic ISSUE
the need for continuing effort to relieve
distress and Danish the unemployment
which has laid its blighting fingers on
the life of the whole people.
Texans Backing Dawes.
A threat to unhorse Vice President
Curtis and to supplant him with Gen.
Charles G.. Dawes, Vice President in
the Coolidge administration, when 1t
comes to nominating vice presidential
candidate doomed today. The Texas
delegation, under the leadership of R.
;. Creager, national committeeman,
was leading tlf6 way. Iowa's delegation
and delegates from Colorado were re-
ported ready to fall in line. They were
looking to Illinois, however, to raise the
Dawes standard.
Some of the Republican leaders OPP
posed to the nomination OF the veteran
Vice President-both because of his age
and his dry stand il the past-remalned
unconvinced that Gen Dawes would not
take the nomination if it were offered
him.
Furthermore, if the convention should
nominate Dawes and he should turn it
down, the Curtis opponents would still
have eliminated Curtis. In some quar-
tiers the charge was made that Dawes
was being used to stop Curtis"
Administration leaders continued,
however, to insist that they were sup
porting the Vice President.
Up to Gen. Dawes.
1t is up to Gen. Dawes himself,
whether there is to be real fight to
substitute him for Curtis. This was the
opinion expressed by close friends OF
Curtis and Dawes beth, as the conven-
ton got under way today
Unless Dawes makes it clear to the
delegates he will not accept nominal
ton for Vice President, his name will
go to the convention. If his name Is
presented, Curtis supporters realize the
Vice President might be defeated for
denomination. Dawes is popular with
the delegates.
A mass of color, flags and bunting
gave the hall an appearance OF Gayety
in spite of the really grave questions

Amendment Would
Let States Decide
on Liquor.
BY a staff Correspondent o; The Star.

CHICAGO, June 14.-The proh!-
bition plank, agreed to by admin
istration leaders In conference
with James R. Garfield, slated to
head the Platform Committee OF
the Republican Convention, which
will 60 to the Platform Committee
this afternoon, starts with a dec
laration against the repeal OF the
eighteenth amendment.
1t declares, however, for the sub
mission by Congress to State con-
stitutional conventions or State
Legislatures of an amendment to
the eighteenth amendment which
would permit those States which
so vote to get out from under the
prohibition of the manufacture
and sale of alcoholic beverages,
but with a provision against the
establishment again of the saloon.
The Congress, under the pro-
posed new amendment, would
maintain control over the liquor
traffic in those States which went
wet" and the Congress would be
empowered by law to see that
there was no return of the saloon.
Similar to Wickersham Plan.
In effect. the plank which is now re-
garded as the effort Of the best minds, y
is similar to a recommendation OF the
Wickersham Commission, which de-
clared against the repeal Of the eigh-
tenth amendment, but said that II
there was to be a change, the Congress
should keep its hand on the situation
in the States which returned to the
sale and manufactured lqlor.~-..
Whether this plank will DO .elntsa
by the resolutions remains to be seen.
There will be serious sight against 1t
in the committee itself, and on the
floor of the convention If the committee
reports it out.
Among those who framed the new
plank at a meeting last night at the
exclusive Chicago club were Secretary
Of the Treasury Ogden L. Mills, Secre-
tary of State Henry L. Stimson, Secre-
tary of the Interior Ray Lyman Will
bur, Secretary of Labor William N.
Doak, Secretary Of Agriculture Arthur

Kansas, and Walter Newton, political
secretary to the President.
The new plank was telegraphed to
Washington for the approval of the
