BARBOUR TO URGE !.

Jersey Senator Says Majority
Sentiment Is Against Dry
Law as 1t Exic'0 Now.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator w. Warren Barbour Of New
Jersey announced today that he would
urge the Republican National Con-
vention to adopt wet plank in its
1882 platform.
Barbour, who succeeded the late
Dwight w. Morrow in the Senate, made
public his stand in telegram ad-
dressed to Edgar A. Knapp Of Red
Bank, N. j., who had asked for his
position.
II believe" Barbour said, that there
is majority sentiment against the
prohibition law as it now exists, and
that the Republican party should not
and cannot afford longer to ignore
the issue. The experiences Of the last
clusively that the prohibition law as
now framed Is impossible of enforce
ment, and that the evils that have
sprung up as a result are far worse
than the good it is claimed could be
accomplished"
Urges Courageous Stand.
He asserted he considered prohibi-
ton second in importance only to the
economic situation and unemployment,
and that he strongly favored coura-
geous anti-prohibition stand by the
party. concluding:
Il intend to urge strongly upon the
delegates from my State to the Re-
publican National Convention that
such a plank be incorporated in the
platform"
Barbours statement followed closely
upon the declaration of Senator James
J. Davis of Pennsylvania for a State
liquor-control amendment to the Con-
stitution and modification of the VOL
stead law.
AssaiIe1 by Mcbride.
This was severely criticized last night
by F. Scott Mcbride, general superin-
tendent Of the Anti-Saloon League,
who asserted that while the Davis stand
implied a conversion to the wet cause
it ''in reality represents surrender to
the arbitrary demands of the ruthless
wet Ware machine"

as Ware is holding over the head of

He gave it as his opinion that with
reference to prohibition the District is
now so dry that some of the dry Con-
gressmen are getting homesick."
Referring to Secretary of the Treas

A ROLLING STONE
New York, Sept. 26-Out in Wei
lington, Kans., they are getting out
the bunting and flags and tuning up
the band.
For it was just about SO years ago
that one of the town youngsters
sneaked away with an itinerant wagon
show. This wasn't particularly inter-
esting news then. Other lads had
run away with circuses-and that was
that. But this youth picked up aero
batic tricks. He had been practicing
in the old barn back of his house.
A hay-loft made soft landing place
when he practiced stunts. The peo-
pie travelling with the show thought
he might make a good clown.
He did. His name was Fred Stone.

Fred Stone celebrates his half-cen-
fury as a performer by playing on
Broadway. When he comes tumbling
on stage and goes into the agile, rub
ber-legged, intricate series of dance
steps, there is nothing to indicate
that the age Of 60 is close at hand.
Back stage, his years peep through
the mask of makeup. 1t had not
been Fred Stones plan to be frisking
at go. No, he had hoped to sit back
in his Forest Hills home and let the
two youngsters carry on.
With this in mind he brought Paula
and Dorothy to the stage. He trained
first one and then the other. Doro-
thy has married and dances today

Political Pot BOils Over
(Tuttle TimeS)

The political pot in this section of
the country, especially Kidder and
Sheridan counties, is not only becom-
ing warm but really starting to boil,
and judging by some of the talk that
We have heard from some of the "old
heads" it is going to be hotter yet. A
certain N. p. Lacquer who has been
among the party's old standbys for
the last few years has been the re-
cipient Of line of fire from number
of his ardent followers. 1t appears
that there is to be a big break in the
ranks of the League in this district
and perhaps in the state, if a truce is
not signed. But instead Of truce
there are petitions out with many
signers who will pledge this Big Shots
undoing.
Yes, it looks like o. E. Erickson,
nominee for the senate from the Kid
der-Sheridan district, was doomed to
fall by the wayside and has already
fallen from grace OF the real staunch
Nonpartisans. It appears that he has
adopted the Hoover platform, which
is the objectionable sin.
