Washington-As the dates for
the Presidential nominating con-
ventions approach, Washington's
outlook on everything becomes
more intensely political than ever,
if that were possible. The major
political question remains that of
whom the Republicans will nomi-
nate to oppose Mr.. Roosevelt.
The latest view to meet wide &C
ceptance is that, while Governor
Landon of Kansas still appears to
have the edge, a strong swing is
noticeable toward Senator Arthur
H. Vandenberg, of Michigan.
Senator Borah's chances are now be-
lieved to be diminishing. Col.
Frank Knox is not now regarded as
a probable nominee, although it is
conceded that he will have a strong
following in the convention and an
important seat in the party coun-
ellis.
Some of the remnants of the Ole
Guard are reported to still have
hopes of pulling off a coup which
would result in the nomination of
Senator Lester Dickinson Of Iowa,
but Nh. Dickinson's name has not
aroused any important public sen
timent. As one of Washington
shrewdest political observers 70
marked the other day. "The
trouble with Dickinson is that he
looks too much like a Senator"

any increase beyond that figure this

WHY OF COP

The weakness Of the Republican
situation in Congress, it is pointed
out by impartial critics, is that the
party was SO long in power that it
does not know how to organize the
strategy and tactics necessary for
an effective Opposition.
Most of the Congressional men,
bers of the Republican party have
been used to playing on the side of
the Sins" and haven't yet learned
how to play on the side of the
"outs." The result is that there
has been no shaping of constructive

~HOOVER-KNOX M
NATION

While there is general recogni-
ton of Mr.. Hoover's prestige, it is
taken as a foregone conclusion that
he will not be the nominee. His
friends say he does not want it and
his enemies say he could not be
elected. Even though not a Presi-
dental nominee, Mr.. Hoover's voice
and influence will be a factor in the
convention and the party councils.
He may not be able to name the
party's nominee, but his friends say
that Mr.. Hoover and Col. Knox, by
their combined strength-and they
are in very close harmony-can
prevent the nomination of anyone
whom they don't regard as a suffi-
GENTLY aggressive fighter. And
their friends say they don't SO re-
gard Governor Landon.
Some of the big shots in the Re-
publican organization have been
rather critical of Senator Vanden-i
berg because of his acceptance of
some of the major New Deal
measures. But hat feeling has
changed materially since the pres
emit session of Congress began and
the Senator from Michigan has be-
come, if not the only spokesman of
the Opposition in Congress, at least
the spearhead.
Mr.. Vandenberg's leadership on
the minority side of the Senate
Chamber has been thrust upon him.
His friends say that he would have
preferred to have had some Re-
publican Senator Of longer service
head up the Opposition.

LIQUOR oFFENsEs UP WITH LEGAL LIQUOR

1t is evidenced daily that liquor offenses are up
since the repeal of the prohibition law. The rec
ords for the two years which have followed the re-
pail show clearly that public drinking and drunken
ness have increased steadily. In our neighboring
city, Greenville the fact is established that there
has been seventy-fve per cent, increase in drunk
cnness an eighty per cent increase in disorderiy
conduct and forty-fve per cent. increase in the
driving of cars under the influence of liquor, dur
ing the past two years sinse repeal
While this increase cannot be attributed as a
whole to the fact that liquor can now be secured
on every corner it is without doubt true that this
is the major cause of the increase.
Such facts as these carry one back to the many
claims made before repeal-clairns which everyone
knew false, but which played big part in the
campaign to repeal the prohibition law. The Re-
pealists have not yet proven to us that conditions
would be better without prohibition. There is an
impossible task 1t can't be proven-Newberry
