 committee, James R. Mutt. Is in favor of changing the party's po- sition. This again is subject for stage whispers. Contributions are coming hard this year.
 An eastern group is arguing strongly that the party must switch to stand more acceptable to anti-prohibitionists. This group Is not composed of professional vets, but of republican politicians who want to win. They have been willing to go along on a law en- forcement plank which was dry. ever, could dangle. with the aid of age of hope before their thirsty audiences. But some of these politicians do not believe that is going to satisfy eastern voters this year. particularly if the democrats adopt the RasKob referendum plan.
 Among those who have in con- ferences urged such a change are. Charles D. Hilles, national com- mitteeman for New York; Daniel Pomercy, national committeeman for New Jersey; J. Henry Rora- back, national committeeman for Connecticut and James Francis Burke. counsel for the national committee. Even President Hoov- CTS unofficial campaign manager, Postmaster General Brown, is un- derstood to be receptive toward shifting over.
 President Hoover, committed to defense of the 18th amendment. Is an obstacle for the anti -prohibi- tionists. They realize it would be difficult for him to change. Their suggestion Is to have the conven- tion act without consulting him.
 The outcome of such a fight would be problematical. Delegates of. states most likely to favor . prohibition change fall more than 100 short of majority of the con- vention. On the other hand a well-planned fight, with a skillfully

NNohLluucu EdSt l. ago as to what she desired to be done in this situation" She had been under the care of physicians for some time.
 Her record shows that she has been on the stage practically all Ter life". The phrase is literal, for at the age of three, in 1868, she first appeared as the Duke of York in Richard III" at Little Rock, Ark. In her later years, vivacious, and with vein of satirical, puck ish humor that injected far more into her roles than the author ever intended, she attracted thousands to her performances of such mas tcrpieces as Mistress Page. in "The Merry Wives of Windsor, and as Beatrice" in Much Ado About Nothing" One of her most splen- did performances was that of Mrs Alving, in Ibsen's Ghosts"
 Subtle humor was her forte. No actress of any age ever drew more wit from the playing of Mrs Mala- prop in Sheridan's "The Rivals".
 Mrs Fiske's first tremendous success came as Mercy Baxter in Caprice, which opened at the Lyceum in New York in 1884. Caprice" toured the country and took the play-going public by storm.
 In 1889, she played the role of Mrs Coney in "Featherbrain", and shortly afterwards left the stage she thought forever-when she married Harrison Grey Fiske, play wright, manager and journalist.
 Four years later she returned to the stage. The Minnie Maddern" had become the Mrs Fiske", the name by which from one end of the country to the other, she was always known.
 Her capabilities, although pro- nounced in gayer, lighter, more satirical characters, ran the gamut from comedy to the deepest trag- edy. She was equally effective in such grim psychological studies as Ibsen's "A Dolls House" and as Nellie Daventry in Miss Nelly of New Orleans"
 The constant revivals of Becky Sharp" testified to the always fa- vorable reaction of the American public to this famous role. Yet, in spite of the fact that Becky and Mercy were the two characters she IS credited with creating, there was no role in which she ever played, regardless of authorship or of surrounding cast. in which her performance did not bring her universal plaudits.
 She was more than the Ameri- can "Bernhardt" which. upon oc- casion, she was called. She had a touch of lightness that was dis tinctly foreign to the great French actress nature and capabilities.
 Mrs Fiske was born in New Or leans on Decembe 19, 1865. In her sixties, keen of perception, clear in her crisp enunciation, vivid in Ter movements. she had a youthful carriage and manner that gave her the aura of one who was always young.

NORTH DAKOTA
INITIATES DRIVE
FOR ROOSEVELT
Democrats, in Convention,
Favor Governor for
Presidency.
BY HITLER KREIGBAUM
limited Press STAN Correxpondent

VALLEY CITY, N. D., Jan. IS
In turbulent North Dakota, breeder
of political revolt and heart of the
nations grain empire. the candi-
dacy of Governor Franklin D. Roose-
welt of New York for the presidency
of the United States was launched
today.
Booted farmers and prosperous
looking business men called on the
Governor to announce his intention
to run on the Democratic ticket.
In the simple red-brick city hall
of this town Of 5000 inhabitants,
with the temperature below zero out
side, the state Democratic conven-
ton fred the first shot in the cam
paign they hope will bring Roose-
velts nomination in June and cleo
ton in November.
G. o. p. Ranks Split
North Dakota's action was typical
Of the state which in the years Just
after the World war was scene of
the most ambitious experiment in
state socialism in America. Lead
ers hoped for Roosevelt's immediate
acknowledgment of their indorse-
fnent, thus formally opening his
campaign.
The progressive agricultural lead
ers, who took off a day from their
work TO attend the convention, we're
optimistic their movement would
spread throughout the agrarian
west.
From the progressive wing OF the
Republican party-the once all
powerful Nonpartisan League-votes
are expected. A split, Democratic
leaders said, has developed in Re-
publican ranks only recently welded
after years of strife.
This split is expected TO lend
strength to the Democratic leader.
Expect Progressive Support
In this state the tradition of the
Roosevelt name runs strong. 1t
was here that the New York ex-
ecutiyoo famous relative came to
seek health on a western ranch in
mis- youth. Despite the different
political affiliation, the name of
Roosevelt runs strong in the minds
of grain farmers and small business
men who make up most of the
states electorate.
H. H. Perry, Glendale, new ma
tional committeeman, predicted that
Roosevelt would carry North Da-
kota by large margin if the cleo
ton we're held tomorrow. He has
tremendous support among Progress
sives."
His feeling was shared by Fred
Mclean, Grand Forks, secretary of
the convention, and S. J. Doyle,
Fargo, chairman of the rules COM
mittee, who estimated Roosevelt
could carry North Dakota by $4,000
votes.
