wit:
The cooling system is in need

job. Maybe it'll take several
weeks. 1t might have been done
later, but suppose an extra Ses-

They did nothing wrong but
to stay where they were not

whole had been wonderfully pa

local authorities were unable to
maintain law and order. it OBJ
serves that:
There is no evidence the
demonstrators were getting out

have been burned down. They

The French press SeizeS on the
irony of President Hoover'S swift
recourse to armed force, on the
most flimSy pretextS. while en-
treating the world to discard it
altogether and to follow his lead

ment.
In South America. where COM
munism is conceded to have
played large part in the recent
revolutionary disturbances, the
trend of press comment is against
using so heavy a hand against

BORAH AND THIRD PARTY is BUGABOO|
Repeal Issue Splits
Party Chiefs, Says

one to guess the outcome, for
never before in Republican con-
vention have as many of the del
egates been Government office
holders as at this one, and never
before have as many members OF
the Cabinet and assistant cabinet
been on the job.
There is no doubt that the ma
tional bugaboo is William Borah
and a third party. This seems to
me absurd, for if the Republican
platform contains even so much
as an evaSive plank advocating
a change in prohibition, the drys
will, in my opinion, try to run
a candidate against Mr.. Hoover.
Supported by Churches
My reason for the statement is
that I am under the impression
that a large proportion of the
salaries represented by the pro-
fessional drys come from collec-
tions from churches, and without
a dry candidate these churches
might refuse to contribute.
Furthermore, an evaSive plank
will not satisfy the militant wet
with millions of
members who favor repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment.
