lican platform. let US face the facts
squarely.
What have they been demanding for
the past six years?
"First-That they be given a chance
to determine by their votes whether the
eighteenth amendment shall continue In
force. or whether it shall be repealed
and forever taken out OF the Constitu
ton.
"Second-that they shall be permit
ted to express their wishes through
State constitutional conventions and
not through State Legislatures. They
have felt that as Legislatures are elected
on multiplicity Of issues throughout
the country. the prohibition question
might be confused with or subordinated
to other questions. and thus clear
cut verdict prevented.
= Furthermore. they have felt that II
the matter were to be submitted to
State conventions, with no other ques
tions before them, the answer must be
definite one way or the other.
This seemed to be a fair demand.
although many prohibitionists op-
posed 1t.
Both Deman nds Are Met.
THE platform grants both these de-
mands in the plainest English. Conse-
quently, II we triumph in November
the people are assured Of an oppor-
tunity to vote on the repeal of the
eighteenth amendment through the
medium Of State conventions free from
all other issues
The third question was whether, in
the event Of repeal. there should be
some reasonable substitute to take the
place Of the present rigid prohibition
amendment, or whether we should be
left cropping in the dark through blind
controversy for q number of years to
come.
Let us be practical. We must pro-
ceed under the Constitution Nothing
can be done without the consent of
three -fourths Of the States Of the
Union.
Since 13 States can prevent repeal
of any character. 1t is absolutely rec.
essary TO offer some substitute 70 which
36 States are likely to agree If we are
to make any progress toward solution
In other words. the repealists must win
victories in 36 States in order to change
conditions, while all the prohibitionists
need to do is to center all their efforts
pat in order to prolong present deplor-
able conditions indefinitely.
No one wants that.
Now we come to the question as to
how much authority Congress should
have in the matter of repeal. since this
unquestionably is matter Of national
scope and character.

TROJANS GIVEN
BEST CHANCE TO
WIN AT BERKELEY
BY ALLEN STEWART
United Press Staff Correspondent

BERKELEY, July 1.-America's
greatest track and field event, the
1. c. A. A. A. A. meet. opened at
Edwards field on the University of
California campus here today, with
the University of Southern Califor-
mia strong favorite to win its
third successive championship, and
its fifth in the past seven years.
Three thousand and twenty-five
athletes from the biggest colleges
and universities of the country
began their first day of competi-
ton with series of heats in prac-
tically every event.
AT least four intercollegiate rec
ords seemed destined to fall be-
meath the flying feet of track
stars.
Two records should be accounted
Tor by Ben Eastman, bespectacled
stanford university flash, in the
opinion of Lawson Robertson, coach
OF the American Olympic team.
They are in the 440-and 880-yard
runs, in each Of which Eastman
has set new world marks this year.
Penro5e Hallowell, Harvard, and
Joe McClusky, Fordham, were ex-
pected to break the mile and two
mile marks, respectively.
The meet takes on additional
significance today, for the leading
athletes will be selected to COM
pete in the Olympic trials at Palo
Alto two weeks hence.
SOUTHERN California was con-
ceded anywhere between 40 and so
points to win the meet, with Har-
ward considered a likely second, and
Stanford, California and Pennsyl-
vania fighting it out for third
place.
Yale, Princeton, New York uni
versity, Cornell, Fordham, Cole
gate, Manhattan, Michigan, George
town, Massachusetts Tech, Pitts
burgh, West Virginia, Bates, Penn
State and Holy Cross were in the
"also ran" class.
One of the best duels of the meet
was predicted in the 100-yard
cash, in which Bob Kiesel, Califor-
MIA, and Frank Wykoff, Southern
California, were the leading con-
tenders. 1t was doubtful if the
men would meet until the finals
of the event tomorrow.
Southern CaliforniaS great
strength lay in the track events,
mainly the hurdles, 44O and sprints,
and in the high Jump and broad
jump among the field classes.

MILWAUKEE, Wise, June a.
Fighting against jobless insurance,
clubbing those who demand it, the
Socialist Party county committee here
has come out for a scheme of forced
labor. Socialist Mayor Hoan of
Milwaukee grins cynically when So
cialist Party spellbinders throughout
other parts of the country claim Mil
waukee as a city without unemployed.
But the local Socialist politicians can
not altogether disregard the starving
thousands in Milwaukee.
So they proposed at the last meet
ing of the Socialist county central
committee, that the city should tenn
porarily take over operation of all
bakeries, mills and factories now
closed, that workers in these plants
should not get wages but only relief
checks for food from the city ware
house. This forced labor without
wages and for food and overalls
alone, the Socialist Party foists on
the working -class as Socialism"

that Bramball got 1900 votes last

Ford tore into Mayor White, who
recently declared, "A war would be
just what we need, it's good for bust

Ford used this statement to prove
that White sees no way out of the
crisis but the slaughter of a large
number of the unemployed on i'm
