|HEFL|N ASSA|LS
PARTY IN SENATE
Declares Loss of His Contest
Is Surrender of Demo-
cratic Principles.

His aspirations for a Senate seat
crushed by decisive vote of that body,
Thomas j. Hefiin, former Democratic
Senator from Alabama, today turned
toward his home State and the COM
pletion of his book, Courage and Cow
ardice in Congress"
Roundly scoring members Of the Sen
ate for refusing to heed his plea that
Senator John H. Bankhead. his success
sor. be unseated on the ground that his
election vas secured by illegal methods,
Hef1in said:
1T is a rank travesty on justice. 1t
Is a triumph for crooked and corrupt
practices employed in an election for a
Raskob Democrat against q real Dem
ocrat.
Surrender of Principles"
'It Is a surrender by the Democrats
so long loved and supported by the
Democrats in and out of the Senate
It marks sad decline in Democratic
leadership and control.
THE failure to decide my contest on
the law and facts will not in the least
weaken my courage or impair my fight
ing spirit for clean and honest politics
and clean and honest government"
He said he had no immediate plan
in mind bearing on whether he would
again run for the Senate, and an
nounced he would devote his time in
the immediate future to lecture en-
gagements and work on his book.
Loses on Two Roll Calls.
Any hope that Hefiin might have had
that the Senate would vote to oust
Bankhead was shattered late yesterday
when, in two roll calls, the Senate
overwhelmingly voiced its opinion.
BY the first vote 1t rejected, So to 10,
a motion by Senator HASTINGS, Repub-
lican, Of Delaware, to declare void the
1880 election, In which Bankhead de-
feated Hefiin. BY the second 1t ap-
proved, Sd to 18, the resolution of Sena-
tors George, Democrat, of Georgia, and
Bratton, Democrat, of New Mexico, de-
claring Bankhead duly elected and en-
titled to his seat.
The vote brought to close nearly
weeks debate on Helms contest for the
seat.

CHICAGO. June l5.-A portion Of
the text Of the address by Representa-
tive Bertrand H. Smell, permanent
chairman Of the Republican National
Convention, to its delegates, follows:
Victory has come to the Republican
party because victory has been earned
The Nation has been safe when the
Republican party has been in control
of the Government. It has never been
safe when Republicans were not on
guard.
Everywhere outside of the Republic
can party is confusion and chaos. The
only sound and unied public sentiment
of the United States is represented in
this convention.
The Democratic party is fatally weak
because it does not command the sup
port or confidence of the Nation and
because it Is utterly lacking in team
work
"A Minority Complex"
The Democrats have a minority COM
pick which they cannot change. AS a
fault finding, caviling minority oppoSi
ton they are 100 per cent perfect. AS
driving, constructive majority they
are 100 per cent failure.
AS proof of this need not recall to
your mind the false gods they have
pursued for over a century: the pa
naceas they have proposed and wise
people have rejected. Events Of the
past five months furnish abundant evil
dence Of their failure.

They had assured the Nation that If
given this power. they would restore
economic equilibrium. This much must
be stated to their credit: AS long as
they followed the leadership of the one
man in America who has furnished
leadership in this great crisis Herbert
Hoover-they functioned in splendid
fashion
But when they set out to carry for
ward their own program they exhibited
colossal incapacity, hopeless division
and disintegration with the result that
there was complete collapse of their
party machinery.

As tragic as is the breakdown of a
great political party, had the party

With this record behind it in this
grave hour of national distress, the
Democratic party is about to ask the
country to accept a candidate whose
identity is still unknown, standing upon
a platform whose planks will probably
contradict themselves. The Nation is
to be asked to accept confusion as a

COMMITTEE TAKES UP PLANK.
Administration Compromise Given Ap-
prevail by Sub Group.

CHICAGO, June Is DETERIORATION
repeal advocates declared opposition to
the administration resubmission COM
promise today as the Republican Plat
form Committee took up the proposal
approved early in the morning by a
subcommittee
The administration plans sent along
by the subcommittee provided for re-
submission to the people of substi-
tute for the eighteenth amendment.
1t won viva voce vote. Ambassador
Edge of France, New Jerseys repre-
sentative on the subcommittee, voted
against the proposal and joined with
Senator Bingham of Connecticut to
fight it in the whole committee.
However, administration forces held
command as the prohibition controversy
near the convention floor
When Chairman Garfield began read
ing the numerous planks presented to
the whole committee by the subcom-
mittee he was challenged by Ambas-
sador Edge on the statement that all
planks had unanimous approval.
Upon this statement of Edge the
chairman made an exception Of the
prohibition plank, upon which he defer
red action until the committee in closed
session had voted on the many other
planks.
The administration submission pro-
posal was approved by the subcommit-
tee on a viva voce vote, but some Of
its language was left for final wording
by the whole committee.
The prohibition plank deplores pro-
hibition as an outstanding issue in the
economic crisis and deprecates partisan
consideration of the question.
It differs from the united repeal
plank, which recommends submission
of a repeal amendment to State con-
ventions. The administration proposal
recommends Federal control of liquor
in any substitute for the eighteenth
amendment, while the anti-prohibition
proposal favors State control
The farm relief plank was passed
over temporarily by the committee to
await the return to the room of Secre-
airy Hyde. Some changes in the
language of this declaration were
planned.

fidence the platform would be ready for
presentation to the convention by late
afternoon.

ton controversy should be to State
conventions or to State Legislature &C.

committee session. It was tentatively
agreed to make 1t to conventions, with
the final decision left to, the whole

MRS. WILLEBRANDT IN FAVOR
OF PLAIN PROHIBITION STAND
Former Official Urges Repeal
Rather Than "WeasIy Word"
of Resubmission.
Woman Leader Does Not Be-
Iieve, However, That Dry

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 15.-Mrs. Mabel
Walker Willebrandt, long q leader of
the dry cause said in a radio speech
last night she hoped that If the ma
jority Of the Republican convention
were determined to have the Constitu-
ton changed, the platform would de-
clare for repeal instead of 'disguising
their real object" behind the 'weasly
word of resubmission."
For the sake of preservation of the
orderlineSs of Government" shes said,
Il hope that this convention. If ma
jority are determined to have the Con-
stitution changed, will frankly state in
favor of repeal, rather than Disgusting
their real object of securing a repeal,
behind the misleading and weasly word
of resubmission." she said.
Resubmission Impossible.
Thus the issue will be clearly
drawn"
Mrs. Willebrandt. former Assistant
Attorney General in charge of pro-
hibition enforcement, said there was
no such thing as resubmission of any
part of the Contitution. She argued
that change could be obtained only by
submitting a new amendment repeal
ing the old and thrusting the whole
question of prohibition back upon the
States, or substituting some changed
form by which the Federal Govern
ment would deal with it. Either of
these would have to be ratified by three
fourths of the State Legislatures, she
commended.
She argued that by no constitutional
method could the people be given any
direct vote on the question.
Convention PLAINLY Wet"
Mrs. Willebrandt said she thought
the complexion of the convention was
plainly wet" and it was inevitable that
the Resolutions Committee would IA
vor some change in the eighteenth
amendment.
She did not believe, however, she
said, that prohibition was the issue
upon which the campaign would be
fought out.
II believe" she added. that whatever
this convention declares in its plat
form on prohibition the real issues
that will decide the election will be
jobs-and the best means of starting
the wheels of industry turning again"

ton. A new generation is going to the
polls next November, she added, and
upon the decision in this matter of
prohibition will depend their party
allegiance.
The eighteenth amendment must be
repealed, not merely diluted" she con-
cluded. epigrammatically.
Capt. Clark told the committee that
prohibition had failed not only in
the United States, but also in ID
other countries who had discarded
it. Ralph M. Shaw, representing
the Lawyers Voluntary Association,
Inc, said that not one bar asso-
citation in the country had gone on rec

amendment, and great many had de-
Association of the District of Columbia.
Mr.. Sibley said that the new gen.
Grafton now about to vote knew nothing
of the evils of the saloon, but plenty
about the evils of the speakeasy, the
gangsters and the racketeers The
young men and women of the country
cannot be caught by a "straddling
plank" on prohibition, he insisted
DR.. Cherrington opened the ball for
the drys.
"A national political convention" he
argued, should not seek to bind the
presidential candidate to a change in
the Constitution, but should leave such
a matter to an unhampered Congress.
No national platform should attempt to
coerce a State or national legislature
on a constitutional amendment, nor
place Congressman in a position of be-
ing disloyal to party platform or to
a majority of his constituents"
Mrs. Boole said she represented an
organization of women who supported
President Hoover and the Republican
party in 1928 because he and the party
supported a principle in which the
women believed.
I'VE believe that our organization
helped to break the solid South four
years ago." Mrs. Boole continued. 1T
the Republican party Endorses resub-
mission, we will fail to vote. and the
party will lose our support for Presi-
dent. We believe that the way to win
the woman vote is to give us a plat
form and a candidate for whom we do
not need to apologize"
