 The fact that the robbery was committed on the platform, in full view of the some 23,000 delegates and spectators, caused the police to at first brand 1t as an inside job. They immediately announced ev- erybody would be frisked. The're- publican officers made a strenuous effort to prevent this. on the ground that frisking would reveal how much money there wasn't in the house and the democrats would make capital of the small total.

 A gully about 20 feet in depth at it's. deepest point was caused by the landslide. The rock and gravel shot across the entire width of South Main street and. up on to the west sidewalk.
 Trolley and auto traffic was completely held up. The Connects cut Company was forced to trans fer passengers at the point where the landslide. occurred so as to continue service between this city and New Haven and lower valley cities and towns. st,
 The slide occurred shortly be- fore 9 o'clock. At 1O:45 o'clock the trolley tracks had been cleared sufficiently ito allow ofle-track traffic. Subsequently the other track was cleared.
 One-way traffic for autos was made possible at about 9:30 o'clock due to the quick work on the part of the street department workers.
 The land on which the slide oc- cured goes up very sharply from South Main street to South View stret. Part of South View street was undermined and heavy traffic on that portion of the latter thoroughfare was forbidden by the street. and police departments.
 Several large houses on South View street adjoin. the tract where the landslide occurred.

courses of action we pledge our nominees.
 The republican party is and al- ways has been the party of the Constitution. Notification by nom observance by individuals or state action threatens the stability of government.
 While the Constitution makers sought high degree of perma- hence, they foresaw the need of changes and provided for them. Article V limits the proposals of amendments to two methods: CD two-thfrds of both houses of con- gress may propose amendments; or CD on application of the legisla- lures of two-thirdS of the states q national convention shall be called by congress to propose amend ments. Thereafter ratification must be had in one or two ways: CD By the Legislatures of three -fourths of the several states; or CD By con- yentions held in three-fourths Of the several states. Congress IS given power to determine the mode of ratification.
 Referendum without Constitu- tional sanction cannot furnish a decisive answer. Those who pro- pose them innocently are deluded by false hopes; those who propose them knowingly are deceiving the people.
 A nation wide controversy over the eighteenth amendment now abstracts attention from the con- structive solution of many press- ing national problems. The prtr- ciple of national prohibition as em- 1 bodied in the amendment was SUD- ported and opposed by members of both great political parties. It was submitted to the states by mem- bers of congress of different politi- cal faith and ratified by state legis- latures of different political ma jorities. It was not then and Is now not a partisan political ques- ton.
 Members of the republican party hold different opinions with respect to 1t and no public official or mem- Der of the party should be pledged or forced to choose between his party affiliations and his honest convictions upon this question. We do not favor a submission limited to the issue of retention or repeal. For. the American nation never in its history has gone back ward, and in this case the progress which has been thus far made must be preserved, while the evils must be eliminated.
 We, therefore, believe that the people should have an opportunity to pass upon proposed amend
 ment the provision of which. while
 retaining in the federal govern
 ment power to preserve the gains
 already made in dealing with the
 evils inherent in the liquor traffic
 shall allow states to deal with the problem as their citizens may de- termine, but subject always to the
 power of the federal government
 to protect those states where pro.
 hibltion may exist and safeguard
 our citizens everywhre from the
 return of the saloon and attendant
 abuses. ] Such an amendment should be promptly submitted to the states
 by congress, to be acted upon by
 state conventions called for that
 sole purpose in accordance with
 the provisions of Article " of the
 Constitution. and adequately safe
