BOTH PARTIES: GET
NEW DRY WARNING
DinWiddie Says Prohibition
lists Will Oppose Wet PIanks
of Either Side.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Democratic. and Republican party
leaders today received warning that Or
ganized drys will refuse to support"
wet candidates or planks, regardless of
party Affiliations.
A formal statement by Edwin c. Din
widdie, executive secretary of the Ma
tional Prohibition Board of Strategy,
the council of united dry forces
throughout the country, said the board
will fight to a finish the attempt to
write wet planks into platforms next
June. even when camoufaged under the
term referendum
The announcement continued:
Party leaders are warned that mil.
lions of drys over the country who be-
lieye in prohibition as the right prin-
ciple OF government and who insist that
1t be given fair chance under favor
able conditions will refuse to support
their party If 1t allows itself to be mis-
led by wet sophiStry into adopting q
wet course at the forthcoming conven-
tions, either as to platform or nominees
The board admoniSheS the Demo-
cratic leaders 10 profit by the experience
OF the past and not be led into repudia-
tion OF prohibition, either in it's platform
or by its candidates"
Republican leaders were advised by
D1nwiddie ito recall numerous and well
known State contests in which dry
Republicans refused to support the
party candidate because of his known
wetness and through this loss of sup
port the party went down to defeat. A
knowledge of conditions and prevailing
sentiment nationally among the great
body of dry Republicans throughout the
country forces the conviction that the
party cannot go wet without abandon
ing all hope of success at the polls"

peace between Mahatma Gandhi and
Viceroy Lord Willingdon were dashed to-
day on the arrival here Of Mrs Sarojini
Naidu, president of the National Con-
gress, who last week was reported max
ing an effort to patch up differences
between the two.

The sunrise service at Walter Reed
Hospital also was marred by cold
drizzle. Protected by umbrellas, nurses
and service men formed the living cross
for the opening of the ceremonies. Col.
Julian E. Yates, chief of chaplains,
United States Army, preached the
sermon.
Students of the Army School for
Nurses protrayed the journey OF the
three Marys to the Sepulcher and their
Joy at finding the stone rolled away.
More than 5000 worshipers visited
the Washington Cathedral during the
day. Among these were many of the
high school students who make a pill
grimage to the Capital City every
Easter.
The notables present were Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson, Herbert L. Satterlee
of New York, Assistant Secretary Of the
Navy in President Roosevelt'S cabinet,

Freeman celebrated holy communion.
Simultaneous overflow services were
held in the crypt chapels of the
Resurrection and of st. Joseph of
Aremathea.
Bishop Freeman preached at the
evensong service at O'Clock, which
was broadcast over the radio
Many school children who visited
the Cathedral were escorted through
the structure by Canon John w. Gum
mere and staff of laymen.
Little of the usual Easter style show
marked the day. The rain kept most
people indoors and the few to venture
abroad dispensed with the customary
fashion display.
Today the Easter visitors had begun
to leave the city, although most of
them will remain for several days.
These include visiting students, who
commonly plan to spend almost a
week here.

CANADA PRISON
 DISTURBED BY
 NEW OUTBREAK

St Vincent de Paul. Que. Nov & l -(UP)--A detachment ofs Royal i Canadian mounted police was held ready at Montreal to-day to go into action here after another outbreak among prisoners at the local pen- itentiary, largest in Canada.
 A repetition of last weeks seri- ous outbreak was. threatened late yesterday when prisoners mutinied and fought their guards for nearly half an hour before being subdued and locked in cells.
 The revolt occurred in the stone- cutting quarry shop, where a hand full of convicts suddenly ceased work and, armed with sledge- hammers and other tools, attacked the guards. The guards counter attacked with clubbed muskets and leveled rifles. No shots were fired. In the struggle one convict, yielding a huge sledgehammer. att tackled keeper Albert. Miron, breaking his arm and inflicting a deep scalp wound. The keeper was believeds to be the only casualty. As quarry workers battled the guards, other convicts nearby stood undecided whether to join the re- volt, but apparently fearing the outcome, finally pleaded with the rebel convicts to abandon the figh:.

i mate of this election.
 Millions of voters are fghtina for Hoover. Much of the renewed sentiment has occurred in the pas, 15 days. It began with the Des Moines speech a month ago. Wires pouring in from the country, from close observers, are convincing.
 "The election is in the bag.''
 FARLEY:
 Last minute reports from pre-. cinct chairmen all over the cOun- try giving their best estimates as to the outcome in their voting dis tricts is conclusive that the vote by which Roosevelt and Garner will be elected will surpass our fondest hopes and our most optimistic pre- dictions.
 N"This Is notably true in certain states that normally are very heav- fly republican. for example Massa- chusetts, Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and California. Indications are that the lnajorities for Roosevelt in those states will be much larger than has been anticipated even by the local democratic leaders in each of them.
 "Every bit of news that has reached headquarters in the last few days compels us to revise up- wards the enormity of the sweep by which Governor Roosevelt will be elected. 4s&
 At no stage in the entire cam >pafgn until the present moment has the extent of the victory ap- peared so overwhelming as 1t ap- pears at the present moment"
