INDIANA G. 0. P. TRIES
TO RECONCILE PLANKS
Party in State Went Further on
Prohibition Than Did Ma.
tional Convention.
BY HAROLD c. FEIGHTNER.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 18.-In-
diana Republicans are back from the
Chicago convention wondering how they
can reconcile their State prohibition
repeal plank with the national plat
form. Some Of them feel like they
are on limb.
They thought they saw daylight
ahead when the repealists adopted their
plank at Chicago, but when it went
down under administration pressure
they were keenly disappointed. The
divergence between the two planks
placed two noted Indianians, Gov.
Harry G.. Leslie and Will H. Hays.
movie dictator, in an embarrassing posi-
ton. They wanted to support the
Hoover plan. but they could not con-
slstently vote against their own State
platform. so they cast their votes for
repeal
Eyes Of Indiana now are on the
Democratic State Convention. which
will be held Tuesday The Democrats
are sure to adopt a repeal plank, but
the degree of wetness is perplexing the
leaders
1t is foregone conclusion, too that
the Democrats will send an unpledged
delegation Of 80 to the national con-
vention. despite efforts to pull them
over into the Roosevelt camp. They
are not opposed to the New York
Governor, but a good many Hoosier
leaders are hopeful that the conven-
ton will swing to Newton D. Baker.

ing sentiments in Congress so that

ing sentiments In Congress so that
State control would be mythical.
The plank submitted by Ambassador
Walter E. Edge, based on the ideas of
the late Senator Dwight w. Morrow,
provided a method of State control that
would guarantee New Jersey and other
wet States absolute control Of liquor
traffic within their borders. BY discard
ing the Edge plank and the Bingham
minority repeal plank, the convention,
veteran politicians declared, added an
insuperable obstacle to Hoover's can
didacy here.
The Democrats were elated by the
Republican plank. Leaders predicted
the Democratic Copvention will take a
more definite wet stand than the Re-
publicans and would benefit from the
overwhelming New Jersey wet vote.
Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City,
Democratic State leader, will leave for
Chicago Tuesday to work with other
Smith leaders in preparing campaign
strategy. Not expecting Alfred E.
Smith can get the nomination, Mayor
Hague and other Smith leaders are en-
deavoring to reach agreement with some
candidate to block Gov. Roosevelt. They
are not as sure now as before that they
have Roosevelt stopped, but they be-
lieve the Roosevelt claims of 67O dele
gates are too optimistic.

BYRNS WILL SUPPORT

By THOMAS FAUNTLEROY,
Special Dispatch TO The Star.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 1.-two re-
cent events have brought changes in
the congressional primary fights in Ten
nessee. One was the announcement of
Representative 10 Byrns of Nashville
that he would support resubmission Of
the eighteenth amendment, the other
was the sudden death Of Representative
Ed Eslick of Pulaski.
Byrns' statement will have a Clarity
ing effect on his candidacy, since for
the first time in his long career at
Washington he was threatened by the
vets.
Mr. Eslick's death came II days after
the closing date for qualifying in the
primary. Though assured of reelection
it was found that only one candidate
had qualified against him. Judge Clar-
ence w. Turner of Waverly. Judge
Turner represented the district for a
few months Of the unexpired term
Of Lemuel P. Padgett. and was not q
candidate for reelection. Since he is
the only candidate qualified. his nomi-
nation will come as a matter Of course.

Special Dispatch to The Star
COLUMBUS. Ohio June 18-The
Prohibition party organization in Ohio,
which last week placed Aaron S. Wat
kins in nomination for Governor, is q
resurrection Of the organization which
passed out with the adoption of the
prohibition amendment after function
ing for more than a third of a CEN
fury. The temperance Of the party
this year is not likely to have any effect
upon the election result in the State.
The liquor issue will be factor in
the Ohio campaign undoubtedly. but
not major one. Depression in indus
try and agriculture and unemployment
will be the greatest source of danger
to the administration party in this
State.
In denying a report that he had
engaged headquarters at Chicago for
the Democratic National Convention,
Gov George White, to whom the Ohio
delegation is pledged, took occasion to
say that he would not attend the con-
vention. As Newton D. Baker and
former Gov James M. Cox have al
ready stated that they would not be
at the convention, the only favorite

Challenge to Representatives.
Cincinnati Enquirer,


 Admitting a reasonable leeway for error in the results of straw vote polls they reflect public sentiment, the massive majority for repeal in the Literary Digests Prohibition vote is challenge to every Representative of the people at Washington It may not be mandate to join heter -skelter rush to the wet side of the fence. But it should impress on every sincere Representative Senator the duty of putting his to the ground of his own con- stituency and political parties the duty of ar ranging an official referendum the question of repeal
 In the first 100000 votes collected by the Digest whose polls heretofore have proved reliable, the sentiment in favor of repeal is overwhelming Only one State stands precariously in the dry column; most of the remainder are heavily wet The indi- cated result of the finished poll which will give a practically infallible oss-section of opinion, is astonishing even to the opponents of Prohibition and it's failing enforcement.
 In the face of such clear public feeling it is obvious that Prohibition cannot long withstand the fierce weight of pressure against it. It is bound ficaton through a reverson to old evils or through the substitution of workable and tightly admin istered system of control Here, The Enquirer has declared before is the deeper challenge. It is time to abandon the futile antagonism of pro and con- time for the earnest friends of sanity and temperance on both sides to plan out a practicable middle way.
 The country ought to be able to look to its Representatives at Washington to discard the obso- lee tags of Dry and Wet to ask purposefully Where do we go from here" and to take the main part in preparing a sensible answer.

 In support of this effort to keep dollars at home and at the time encourage self-reliancs in the Territory, every citizen should make solemn resolve to demand local products wherever possible of supply This should go further than vegetables. Local store shelves loaded with imported spider crab meat, while Cordova is canning Alaska's ex- ceent Dungenes crab and offering it at a lower price than the imported article. Smoked and salted fish, canned salmon and various jams, especially strawberry and currant, imported from Cali fornia when the berries may be grown in abundance in the railroad zone. Local canners preparing clans which likewise are sent to Seattle and re- turned to Alaska for sale.
 Approximately $S5OOo0 worth of products are shipped to the railroad zone which could be pro- duced within it. This $850000 would give each person in the a fair yearly income of $l,000.
 Here is a chance to make the home garden not only supply the table but give return in dollars.
