RESULT IN OHIO
NEW BLOW To
DRY LEAGUE
Delegates, Hand-PiCked by
Postmaster General Brown,
Favor Noise Platform

Ohio Republicans apparently
have joined the band-wagon
march against prohibition.
The success which generally
attended the fortunes of wet
Republican candidates in the
State primary yesterday
greatly strengthened the con-
Niction in Washington that the
Republican National Conven-
tion in Chicago will see anti
prohibitionists in the saddle.
Ohio'S convention delegates,
Iand.picked by Postmaster Cen
eral walter F. Brown, are known
to be preponderantly for a moist
platform declaration. Browns
estimate of the party sentiment
in Ohio on prohibition now has
apparently been confirmed by
the nomination Of a wet State
ticket in yesterdays primary.
Weld Great Power
The cradle of the Anti-Saloon
League thus joins New York,
Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jer-
Sey, and other Eastern States in
opposition to the existing pro-
hibition set-up. These are the
States which WELD great power
In the convention and are vital to
success in November.
The net result is the growing
conviction among party leaders
here that a reSubmiSSion plank Is
the least that will enanate from
the Chicago convention.
The wets-and they include
some Of President Hoover's most
intimate advisers, some, indeed
In his own Cabinet-coonfi dential-
" assert he will stand on any plat
form that the convention agrees
upon at Chicago. The drys don't
like to believe it, but they don't
know. and accordingly are fear
ful Of the worst.
Looks Like Strategy
Another development whic h
made the drys suspicious, and oc,
casioned no little speculation here,
was the appearance of John M
Morehead, American Minister to
Sweden, before a Senate judiciary
subcommittee in support Of a
twentieth amendment to the Con-
Stitution which would return to
the various States the control Of
liquor within their borders.
Morehead, a lifelong dry and
long-standing friend OF Mi. Hoo
ver's, confessed he was aiSilluS-
ioned about the benefits Of pro-
hibition. He strongly recon-
mended the Bratt control system
now practiced in Sweden, which
permits the unrestrained sale o.
beer and wines, and strictly ra-
toned hard liquor.

Greatest Fear
Robinson declared the great.
est fear that has gripped this
countrw is that of unemploy-
ment-actual or apprehended. He
said:
1T has chilled every heart
and carried back through the
I merchant, the manufacturer.
the farmer and producers of
other raw materials. This is a
crisis"
He said the indispensable meas
ures facing action by Congress
were "a balanced budget and
methods to get actual buying
power into the hands of the con-
sumer." He said it was not prac-
ticable to provide all expenses
out of revenues this year, but
that it was indispensable to take
steps to bring the budget into
approximate balance" with COM
plete balance next year.
Hopes For Action
Then he announced his pro-
gram. He said he hoped it would
be enacted before Congress ad-
journed. He said:
Increased buying power may
be brought about by supply
ing the immediate and press
ing necessities Of the unem-
plOyed and by a sound and
wellcOnsidered program for the
construction of Selfliquidating
projects.
Before the present session
ends there should be avail
able through the sale of Gov.
ernment bonds at least $780,
100000 to be advanced to the
States and municipalities in re-
lief for suffering caused by
unemployment. The bill be-
fore the Senate by the Senator
from New York, Mr.. Wagner,
reported from the Committee
on Manufacturers, may be
taken as the basis for this
feature of the program.
The Government should re-
ceive such assurance of repay
ment as may be ObtainabIe,
including State and municipal
securities where the same are
available and deductions may
be made when necessary from
future allOtmentS of Federal aid.
Unemployment Increased
Notwithstanding the effec-
tive efforts of certain Organiza.
tions to stimulate employment,
unemployment is increasing
rather than diminishing. Pro
vision should be made during
the present session tomake GER
tain that local inStrumentalitieS
which have about exhausted
their resources, may be as
Sured of the assistance essen
tiaI to avert the suffering that
will result from q breakdown
Of their efforts"
Robinson next urged a two-bil-
lion-dollar tax exempt bond issue
to provide funds for a federal
construction program. He said
this fund should be spent upon
such "self-hquidating or profit
making enterprises as tunnels,
bridges, and the destruction of
Slum districts in great industrial
centerS." .

STATE CAPITOL CHATTER

Starkey would drop his contest against
Ethel was taken as an informal but
nevertheless effective bid for Ettel to
come in line for Mum for speaker
and also for Starkey for chief clerk.
I was told today that the election
contest is not "off"-that the recount
of ballots is to start within a day or
two.
Query: Does this mean that the
liberal forces in the house are sufil-
GENTLY in doubt as to their ability to
win control unless, perchance, Starkey
may be seated in place of Ethel?
It looks dubious.
Hence all the more reason for belief
that the fight for control of the house
is not yet definitely Settled.

Later, however, as she dressed for

Her aunt made no mention of hav.

intimate little tables In the Bellaire
dining room and gave herself over to
contemplation of the menu.

looked straight up into the eyes of
sober, broad-shouldered young man
standing beside the table.
He wasn't at all as she had i'm
agined him. He did not look In the
least penuriOus, underfed or over

The dinner passed on to the dessert
stage.

Did she imagine it or did the young
waiter just bringing the cream start
suddenly. Certainly very odd ex-

But not until the following morn

John Warren's face-that was when
the postman brought her a letter.
my Dear Miss Preston:
an a very odd fashion your ring
has come into my possession. May

Sally felt herself go pale. OF course,
| there was but one explanation, and
that reasonable one. Her ring had
slipped off into the sock as she filled
it.
Throwing on her coat and hat, Sal
ly dashed over to the Bellaire. In

ask her advice. Into that lady's quiet
sitting room she burst, then stopped
short on the threshold.
There sat the young man who had
caused her all this embarrassment

gan, MIR. Warren has been offered the
most wonderful position as consulting

Sally felt foolish impulse to run
