 Clinton wanted to be president after Jefferson and although of Jeffersons' party he made a coali- ton with the New York federal

 w. c. T. U. Angry Evanston, III, June 8-U. P.)- The National Women's Christian Temperance Union headquarters to- day issued vigorous answer to pronouncement by John D. Rock | efeller, Jr, favoring repeal of the 18th amendment.
 Copies of the statement were for warded to w. C. T. U. leaders in all states.
 Present problems cannot be solved by restoring the liquor traf- fic to a legal status." the statement said. "Nor can they be solved by allowing prohibition enforcement with better men in office: aroused civic consciousness. enforcement of the law, and serious and effective educational campaigns.
 l ITO repeal the 18th amendment would be murderous in that it would restore the old high death rate from alcoholic causes; it would be cowardly in that it would surren- der to the liquor interests, which, regardless of the protests of wet leaders, are bent on complete liber- alization of liquor laws around the world.
 "It would not only be an un- American surrender to low ideals but would be national stupidity.
 "Mr Rockefeller should realize that when the 18th amendment was ratified the liquor interests threat n nrcy mi A a- obedience of the prohibitory laws. and organized nullification Is the result of that threat"

 Des Moines, Ia, June 8-(U.

United States Senator Smith W. Brookhart, for the re- publican nomination.
 When Field decided to compete against Brookhart, he announced he thought it was time i've had more business men in our govern ment instead of So many lawyers"
 And Field, his associates testify. unquestionably Is a business man. No small measure of this achieve ment is due to his intense interest in flowers and plants and the peo- pie who work with them-the farmers.
 Henry" understands the likes and dislikes of the people to whom he appeals in his frequent talks over radio station KFNF, the Friendly Farmers Station" | Field never before aspired to a political office. He naively termed himself an amateur. Then he struck out at what appeared to be a weak spot in the Brookhart ar- nor, nepotism and neglect of duty. Roosevelt View

COURT REFUSES
TO GRANT ORDER
FOR ROSENTHAL
JUDGE BROWNE CONSIDERS
CASE DEALING WITH RE-
STREAMING ORDER ON
BRIDGE FRANcHIgE

Judge jefferson B. Browne, pre-
siding in the circuit court this
morning, considered case filed
by George J. Rosenthal, whose OPP
ton on franchise to construct
the proposed Oversee bridges ex-
pires at midnight tonight, in which
he prayed that the court issue an
order restraining the Monroe coun-
ty commissioners from declaring
his franchise void"; also restrain
ing them from interfering in any
way with his endeavors to obtain
money with which to construct the
bridges, and also from refusing to
accept his penal bond, or, as Coun-
ty Attorney William v. Albury,
characterized it, a "so-called penal
bond"
There were many other provi-
sions in the petition, directed
against the county commissioners,
but Judge Browne refused to grant
the order on any grounds what
soever.
Mr.. Albury, who represented ths
canhty in the case. was asked By
The Citizen what move remained
for Mr.. Rosenthal to take in the
bridge proposition, and Mr.. Albury
replied that, so far as he knew,
the final matter will be the quo
warranto proceedings, which, it is
expected, will be heard some day
next week by the state supreme
court.
In regard to the penal bond,
County Clerk Ross Sawyer, said
that the impression seems to he
general in Key West that he re-
corded the bond, but, he states,
such is not the case. Mr.. Sawyer
added that there is no necessity
for the recordation of the bond.
