Continued From First Pagel
secretary. issued a call today to the Ma
tional Prohibition Board of Strategy
war council of 80 prohibition groups.
Il have seen and heard nothing to in
dictate any likelihood Of the organized
drvs of the country attaching them
selves to the Prohibition party" Din
widdie said.
He said three viewpoints are held b7
various prohibitionists on the best way
out of the situation produced by Repup4
Gcan and Democratic platforms. Tne
viewpoints propose respectively, indore-
ing Hoover and the Republican plank
concentrating on congressional cam
paigns. and initiating an independent
movement.
Warns of F0nd Campaign.
As Senate leaders tried to avert an
other vote on legalization of beer,
DR.. Daniel A. Polling, chairman OF
the Allied Forces for Prohibition, got
back to Washington from Chicago and
warned that his organization Is raising
funds to support dry candidates for the
House and Senate.
Likewise, Bishop James Cannon. Jr.,
In an independence day address at
ocean Grove, N. J., predicted that the
Republicans would win IN November,
adding:
Democrats Assure Opposition"
ST am an anti-Smith Democrat and
Chicago platform. The 1882 pro-
hibition plank of the Republican party
pledges enforcement Of the law and op-
poses notification. The Democrats, in
adopting an outright repeal plank, have
assured the party Of no support from
the many organizations anxious to see
est social enactment made by any ma
tion in any age"
Dr. Polling in this fashion summarized
his reaction to the 'resubmiSsion" plank
of Republicans and repeal proposal Of
Democrats:
I'VE are raising funds and organizing
to help elect Senate and a House of
representatives pledged to enforce and
not TO nullify the law, pledged to pre-
serve the gains made under the eight
zenith amendment, pledged to the Con-
stitution Of the United States and to
representative government. We shall
support Democrats and Republicans
alike who subscribe to these principles. "
Passage Predicted.
Bingham predicted his beer bill
would pass the Senate while Repre-
sentative Britten, Republican, Illinois,
made the same forecast for the House.
Senate leaders hoped vote could be
prevented.
Other statements rejecting the in
creased interest in prohibition included !:
Senator Davis Of PENNSYLVANIA, a
strong administration Republican. an
nounced he would introduce a 80 per
cent beer bill: II think Congress is
overlooking an opportunity to raise mil
lions by simple method that would
have the added advantage Of employing
many men and opening a market for
grain"
Senator Norris. Nebraska, Independ-
ent Republican, referring to these beer
bills said: 1T is not reasonable to ex-
pect that just when We are about to
adjourn we shall pass something that
we have fought over for years"
Sheppard Is Firm
Senator Sheppard promised he would
oppose either repeal or modification
unless a referendum in his State di-
rected him otherwise.
Senator Borah of Idaho, Independent
Republican dry, predicted in a telegram
TO the Prohibition party's Indianapolis
convention that "if the women of Amer
lean viii do their part" and work for
the right men in Congress-" there will
be no repeal Of the eighteenth amend
ment."
Borah had talked with one Of the Pro-
hibition party's leaders, D. Leigh Colyin,
about being their candidate for Presi-
dent. The Idahoan kept silent on that
point, although the prohibitionists were
attempting to make the offer more at
tractive by welding together support of
the great national temperance organi-
cations.
