Louisiana's Vote for President
 in 1928.
 Smith: 164,655 Hoover: SLIGO

Louisiana, with 10 electoral votes, has voted consistently Democratic since reconstruction days.
 Hoover, in 1928, received the larg- est popular vote ever cast in Louisiana for Republican candi- date. When, however, several states of the solid South" upset precedent by casting their elector- al votes for Hoover, Louisiana re- mained Democratic by more than three to one.
 Observers generally agree that no major change in the status of the two parties has been indicated in the last four years.
 The latest report of the Secre- tary of State, dated March 19, 1882, gives the following figures on the total state registration: Democrats, 464,151; Republicans, 4,976; others, 106.
 The registration figures on Octo- Der 6, 1928, were given as follows: Democrats, 373,555; Republicans, 4,594; others, 369.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l3.-Fran- cis Wilson, of Santa Fe, advocat- ed compacts between states for control of liquor if the Eighteenth Amendment is repealed, before the American Bar Association.
 He told the delegates that a re- turn of state police powers over the liquor traffic by repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment appears a probability in the near future.
 .sPrior to the Eighteenth Amend ment," said Wilson, "dryness was regional and we may assume the same conditions will recur in the future if the Amendment IS re- pealed."

 Introduced by Hughes
 President Hoover was introduced by Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, of the Supreme Court of the United States, who in greet ing him extended to him the Association's assurance of "our personal confidence in his ability and purpose" in which, he recalled, was given him by the same or eanization to former President Woodrow Wilson in 1914
 Praise For Court
 Ut is our task to prove again that none knows better than you that the very citadel of rights of the poor against oppression of rulers and against the eNtortiohs of rapacious is the judicial sys- tenn of the country and the inn preenable apex of that system is the Supreme Court" Hoover said.
 Dangerous Thing
 President Hoover said it would be a dangerous thing if explana- tion is not given the people as to how often in history, the peo- ple's interests have been detrayed by false prophets, of the millennium promised through seductive but unavoidable theories of Govern ment and this menace is doubled by the fact these vain allurements today are beirig offered our har- rassed people by men of pubic reputation in economics, even by men in public life"

WOUNDS LEFT

One of the reasons for this was that the leaders of both parties had been admittedly surprised and a little startled by what happened at Chicago, and wanted time to take their bearings before going much further.
 The sudden blast of argument at the conventions. and the degree of bitterness to which it mounted, left wounds which nobody was dis posed to rub with salt.
 Both Presidential nominees stat ed that the question of economic recovery was the foremost issue of the campaign, and while neither remained entirely silent about pro- hibition, both put a lot of empha- sis elsewhere.

Campaign About to Witness
 ReuiuaI of Wet-Dry Issue
By BYRON PRICE

Early October has produced abundant signs that the Prohibit ton issue is about to emerge from the partial eclipse it underwent during the mid-stretch of the Presidential campaign.
 Although it never disappeared entirely from the day by day story of politics, this subject had a Sep tember submergence which appear ed all the more strange because of what had gone before.
 At the national conventions both parties had given their blanks on the Eighteenth Amendment far and away the major share of atten- tion, and had reached their re- spective decisions only after spec tacular floor disputes.
 In August President Hocver's reference to prohibition in his ac- ceptance speech, and Gov. Roose- velts reply at Seagirt, again chal- lenged popular attention to an ex- tent which kept the argument go- ing strong.
 Then for weeKs developments veered off in other directions. While MT. Hoover stayed at home and said little about politics, MT. Roosevelt launched into a speak ing campaign devoted to the econ omic situation, power, railroads, farm relief and a host of separate issues, with only a few mentions of the dry laws.
 In local politics the discussion was kept up by the clashing views of candidates for state office and for Congress, but in a national sense it appeared for the moment that prohibition might be destined to become the forgotten issue.
