DRY FORCES PLAN
WET PLANK ATTACK
Cherrington Issues Call to
Block Foes’ Move to Inject
Issue Into Platforms.
By the Associated Press. •
WESTERVILLE, Ohio, July 23. —The
dry forces of the Nation will unite im
mediately and launch a campaign to
overthrow any attempt to write a wet
plank into the political platforms and
nominate wet candidates, Dr. Ernest H.
Cherrington, general secretary of the
World League Against Alcoholism, said
here yesterday.
The temperance forces will not wait
a year to see who 1s nominated for
President and what the platforms say (
about prohibition. Dr. Cherrington said.
As chairman of the strategy board of a
union of dry forces he urged “that the
temperance forces begin immediately a
general educative and informative pro
gram, which would have its effect on
the kind of delegates to be selected for
each of the national political conven
tions.”
"The foes of prohibition,” the secre
tary said, “even now are scouting about
for delegates to the national conven
tions, although those gatherings are a
year hence. The temperance forces
have cut out for them a tremendous
pre-convention job. They must con
duct in every political district of Amer
ica a vigorous, informative campaign,
spreading the truth about prohibition,
as well as awakening the temperance
voters to the importance of the new
6.tuation.”
Dr. Cherrington said that as part
cf their campaign the dry workers will
conduct widespread mass meetings, dis
tribute vast quantities of literature and
make use of the radio.

REVIVED BY INDIANS

by Oklahoma
Eedskins.
By the Associated Press.
HOLDENVILLE, Okla., July 23
Standing waist deep in water and mud
of the receding rivers of Hughes County
as tom toms beat Indians are petition
, ing the Great Spirit to send rain.
Prayers, unknown to the white man,
but voiced generations ago by the In
dians, are offered as the red men gather
ssveral times each week on the banks
of the South Canadian and Little Rivers
to implore the Great Spirit for rain to
save their crops from drought.
The ancient colorful custom is being
Witnessed for the first time in years.
The red men congregate in the dead
of night, coming in large groups from
farm houses and some from pretentious
homes. The medicine man of the tribe,
dressed in spectacular fashion, leads the :
rites.
After campfires have been lighted,
the men wade into the water and to
the muffled tom toms beat on the water
t and pray in heir native tongue for
rain. Women and children line the
banks, keeping the fires blazing as the
ceremonies continue far into the night.
When it rained reasntly for the first
time in several weeks, the Indians were
jubilant. The tribesmen then increased
their efforts to bring more rain for crops
and gardens.

liam Kenny and Steve Harrington went
to work yesterday in a laundry.

clothes which they sorted, bundle by
bundle. Beside them was Mrs. Doris

sorted and then sorted some more, Mrs.
Mikaliunas shouted:
"That’s it!”
She pointed to a particular bundle,
which was opened. Inside, the officers
found the $196 which Mrs. Mikaliunas
had hidden in a pillowcase.
Fourteen waiters in a Birmingham,
England, hotel, who sued the holder of
a winning ticket in the Calcutta sweep
for their share because the claim that
it was a gift to the lucky man and
should go into the waiters’ pool, have
withdrawn the suit.
