Borah said 1t was evident the great
majority Of the Republican convention
was for naked repeal" of the eighteenth
amendment; that they voted for the
adopted plank out of sheer political
expediency"
He singled out Postmaster General
Brown and Secretary Mills. the two
who had most to do with drafting the
platform, as openly and unccmpro-
misingly for repeal" 1t was no time
before both cabinet members turned out
statements denying this.
On the whole Borah speech, whose
gist was Immediately conveyed TO the
President, the White House had nothing

probation, but holding that. If anything

That 1t would not prevent return of the

What Is left of the eighteenth

This platform has one definite. un-

Gratis of Indiana at their State conven-
tion today approved . platform contain
ing a Temperance" plank which rec
ommends that Congress Immediately
propose the necessary amendment to
the Federal Constitution repeating the
eighteenth amendment"
The platform was adopted with q
chorus of shouts and with no dissent.
The plank dealing with the liquor
question recommends that in the repeal
amendment Congress specify that 1t
shall be submitted to nOn-partiSan con-
ventions Of the people OF the several
States at which no other question shall
be considered. 1t also makes the dec
laration that ultimate control Of the
liquor traffic shall rest with the Eover-
eign States.
The plank also recommends imme-
diate repeal Of the Wright "bone-d-y'
law the State enforcement act. 1t
proposes in its stead the enactment "of
persons and property and prevent the
return OF saloon"
Having adopted the platform the con-
vention turned to the nomination OF a
State ticket, and by acclamation
awarded the goVernorship to Paul v

Some Of the comment on the an
nouncement follows:

Progressive leader: 1T is an irrepar-
able loss that cannot be replaced"
Representative McDuffie of Alabama.
House Democratic whip: I'm not at
all surprised"
Commenting on the Hastings
debate, Senator Robinson, Democratic
leader, said:
"Manifestly the Republican plank on
prohibition IS intended to attract both
sides of the wet and dry issue.
The fact that two prominent law
yers, like Senators Borah and Hast
mgs. should differ as to the meaning
OF the declaration empha-
sizes the ambiguity which inheres in
the prOnOuncement."
Senator Fess, Republican, Of Ohio.
/ said:
Borah is wrong on the statement
that 1t was repeal. At least, the repeal
lists who stayed up all night and fought
this plank didn't so interpret it and
neither did any one else in Chicago at
the convention.
1t goes no further than resubmis-
sion, but that is not limited to repeal.
1t extends 70 modification to protect
the dry States that wish to remain drv
and to regulate the liquor traffc In
States that wish to be wet"
Other Republican leaders refused to
comment on Borahs statement.

MY attention has been called to a
statement by Senator Borah in the

repeal OF the eighteenth amendment
and that I 50 stated in q conversation
with him.
Senator Borah is mistaken in both
particulars.
1T is my practice not to discuss pub
licly views expressed or statements made
in private conversations in which
participate, but since Senator Borah
Is evidently willing to have discussed a
conversation had by himself, Mr.. E. A.
Van Valkenburg. Of Philadelphia, and
myself in Washington few weeks ago,
and since Mr.. Van Valkenburg makes
no objection. I feel free to state just
what occurred.
THE purpose Of the conference was
to discuss the formula Of platform
plank for the Republican party favoring
the resubmission OF the problem OF the
liquor traf1c.
Senator Borah stated that he was
working on a plan for such resubmis-
sion giving to the States the right to
determine for themselves whether they
would be wet or dry, Int that he had
not yet found q satisfactory method to
make certain that the saloon would not
return that he hoped to complete his
plan shortly and present 1t to the Sen
ate before the Republican convention.

1881 Racing Champ Turns
Out for Early Spins

Accepting his early preparations
last year as a good omen, Louis
Schneider, 1881 automobile racing
champion, already has arrived at
the track with his car to begin prac-
tice spins with hopes of repeating
his last years victory in the Inter-
national 500-mile race on May 80.
Il was first at the track last year
and first at the finish," Schneider,
former indianapolis motorcycle
policeman said. Maybe can re-
peat the formula this year. I know

shake the bugs out of my car and
get the feel of those bricks again
and I'll be ready for the starters

Schneider fully realizes the huge
task that is before him. In nine
teen years of racing only one man,
Tommy Milton, has been able to
repeat his victory in the automobile
speed classic of the world.
Schneider paced himself to nice
win last year. Knowing the posi-
bilities of his mount and driving like
veteran, he determined on a
steady speed over the 500-mile route
and maintained it throughout. He
saw sprinting cars jump into the
lead and lap him. Never was ne
forced by over anxiouSneSs to Guido
the speed of his machine and he
was rewarded as, one by one, his
leaders were forced out by motor
trouble or accidents. With less than
hundred miles to go. he found
himself out in front with the vic
tory post within his grasp.
