HOOVER MAKES
SLIGHT GAIN IN
SOUTHPOLL
Decreases Roosevelt Lead in
West Virginia, But All Are
Still Democratic
BY COLE e. MORGAN

The strenuous fight the Re-
publican campaign manage
ment has been waging this
month to recover the southern
border States showed some
headway in new returns tabu-
lated today in the nationwide
postcard presidential poll of
The Washington Times and
other Hearst papers.
Most noticeable of the Republi-
can improvement was in West
Virginia, where President Hoover
held Governor Roosevelt to a Scant
18 majority out of 728 new bal
lots, the States vote dividing 373
Roosevelt and 355 Hoover. RooSe-
velt, however, still has a majority
Of 1885 out of 12,009 total West
Virginia poll votes cast.
Leads i'm Kentucky
In Kentucky Hoover held Roose-
velt to a 1913 majority out of 543
new votes. Roosevelt's Kentucky
majority on the total poll, how
ever, stands at 1890, with 1888
ballots recorded.
Oklahoma, returning 1868 new
ballots this week, gave Roosevelt
a 349 majority. His total Okla
homa majority is 3,449, with 9,297
ballots recorded.
Others for Roosevelt
All other States in the South
returned Roosevelt majorities for
the week substantially larger
than Hoover's vote.
From the foregoing it will be
observed that it is only in West
Virginia that any appreciable
headway has been made by the
Republicans in their fight to re-
tain the States of the South which
went Republican four wears ago.

DRYS FEAR SNAG
IN COURT TEST
ON BEER
Anti-SaIoon League Council
PonderS Difficulties in
Getting Ruling

The drys would have a diff
ficult task to prevent the sale
Of beer by court action if
Congress modifies the Volstead
act, Edward B. Dunford, gen.
eral counsel of the Anti-Saloon
League, conceded today.
The legal obstacles confronting
the drys were discussed by Dun
ford after Senator Thomas l..
Walsh CD of Montana, pointed
out the question of constitutions
atty of legalized beer might
never reach the Supreme Court.
Dunford said:
SEES WAY OUT
Certainly the matter would
present difficulties, 1t would
not. be as simple to test the
law as it was for the brewers
to test the VOltsead act when
1t was passed.
"Ways have always been
found of getting important
constitutional questions before
the Supreme Court, however.
1t is incOnceivable that a QueS-
ton of such moment could
not be brought to the court"
The possibility of court attacks
on a bill modifying the Volstead
act has been considered by many
congressional lawyers, both wet
and dry, since Speaker Garner
said beer would be sold after
modification before the question
Of constitutionality could be de-
cided.
One of the difficulties, Dun
ford agreed with Walsh, is that
the Department of Justice gen.
orally accepts acts of Congress as
constitutional.
Controls Prosecutions
Since the Justice Department
controls prosecutions in Federal
courts, it is doubtful whether a
district attorney would try to
prevent the sale of beer on the
ground that modification violated
the Constitution.
There are, Dunford pointed out,
other ways in which the issue
might be raised in the courts.
If the customer of a brewer re-
fused to pay him on the ground
that legalized beer was unconsti-
tutional, and the brewer persisted
in his suit, the question OF con-
stitutionality would have to be
decided.

Ballot Drive to Be Waged
From New York.
BY FRIEDRICH A. STORM
United Press STAFF Correspondent

ALBANY, N. Y, July 19.-Gov-
ernor Franklin D. Roosevelt's cam
paign for the presidency will be
waged chiefly from New York City.
Decision to have the Democrats
main headquarters in the metropolis
was reached today as Roosevelt con-
ferred with his campaign chiefs,
James A. Farley, national chairman,
and Louis M. Howe, the silent man
behind the guns"
AS the state executive and his as
sociates gathered at luncheon, Far
ley announced the single point on
which there has been definite under
standing, but revealed that there
still is question as to whether there
will be regional headquarters at
Chicago or on the west coast, or at
both places. Likewise, the weighty
question of man for campaign
treasurer-one of the biggest posts
in the whole personnel situation
remained unsettled.
However, Farley and Howe had
ready general outlines of campaign
and personnel which awaited the
decision of the Governor.
Farley explained before the meet
ing that details of today's discus
sion would be made public from the
Roosevelt headquarters in New York
City later.
