Prohibition Plank and At

Start Battles.

If the leading candidate failed to gather

Wheeler Hits Shouse.
Meanwhile. Shouse was accused m a
Statement by Senator Wheeler of Mon
tana cf using his national committee
oflficp to aid the "stop-Rcosevelt" move
ment.
Wheeler as one of those meeting in
New York Sunday, When friends of
Roosevelt decided to offer Senator
Walsh as permanent chairman in the
place of Shouse.
"Every one in Washington who is at
ell iamiliar with what has been going
on in the inside," Wheeler said today,
knows that Mr. Shouse has actively
interested himself in the movement to
stop Gov. Roosevelt.
He has the seine right to have a
preference as any other, but, he has no
right to use the power conferred upon
him bv the National Committee for or
agsins' any candidate. Mr Shouse
and Mr. Kask^b may protest loudly that
they have beer, impartial and not taken
any interest and it may get by with
those not familiar with the situation.
"All the friends of Gov Roosevelt
ask is for a chairman who wall be fair.
In the most controversial convention
which we have had in recent times.
Senator Walsh showed his absolute im
partiality and fairness as chairman at
New York City in 1924
Borah Opens Fire.
The Republican prohibition outbreak
took double form. Senator Borah
launched a broadside against the party's j
proposed plank, asserting "these gen
eralities on this subject are more or less
an insult to the intelligence of the peo
ple. whether they are wet or dry.” and
demanding that an alternative program
to existmg prohibition be submitted with
anv declaration for resubmission.
Simultaneously, in a conference wuth j
Garfield held at the Capitol, the split,
developed on whether the plank propose
that th« issue be lesubmitted to State
legislatures as desired by drys. or put
in the hands of conventions chosen
solelv for that purpose, the system
favored, by anti-prohibitionists. The
point had to be left open.
On top cf this came word that John
E Rockefeller, jr.. long an advocate of i
national prohibition, declared himseU
for a repeal plank in the national plat
forms and for taking the issue cut of
politics through adcpfion of the same
principle by both parties.
Declared "Impossible.
The suggestion of one plank for both
platforms'has b=cn discussed before. A
Milt of John J. Raskob Democratic na
tional chairman, to the Capitol yester
day "a; attributed by some political ob
servers to this objective, though without
much expectation of success Senator
Robinson of Arkansas, the party's Sen
ate leader, viewed it as a "good idea, but
Impossible"
Th«re was considerable comment on
the Rockefeller declaration, in and out
of Congress.
The reversal was not unanticipated.
• * * I'm sorry, but I'm n't sur
prised ' said Dr Edwin C. Dinwiddie.
executre secretary of the National Pro
hibition Board of Strategy.
■The Rockefellers join the great com
pany of thoughtful Am«ricans w-ho real
12® the safety of our country requires
that we correct, this hideous mistake
without anv more delay." said Henry
M. Curran of the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment.
Concress.on3l drvs declared themselves
unshaken. The wets were jubilant.
Believed Significant.
No comment was forthcoming at the
White House concerning the Rockefeller
announcement However. James Fran- ;
cis Burke of Pittsburgh, general coun- j
Bel of the Republican National Com- ]
mittee and one of Mr. Hoover's close
political advisers, said he considered this
as being highly significant, in that it
would have a wide influence on the
question of a change in the prohibition
law
Mr. Burke made this comment at the
White House He did not see the Presi
dent. as Mr. Hoover at the time was
engaged with a cabinet session.
When asked if he thought Mr. Rocke
feller's action would have any influence
<jpn the Resolutions Committee of the
•Republican National Convention. Mr.
(Burke did not answer directly. His re
fponse was that he thought it would be
at least a relative matter.”

STADIUM GROOMED
FOR CONVENTIONS
Workmen in Huge Chicago
Structure Must End Task
in Week.
By tht Associated Brass.
CHICAGO. June 7—A huge, arch
roofed structure, housing tier upon tier
of seats beneath the weblike steel of
its rafters, was being tidied up today
for the thousands of politically minded
men and women who will press through
Its turnstiles seven short days hence
The work of dressing the stadium in
proper attire for the Republican con
vention was started just yesterday
Down on the main floor of the stadium
a week from now delegates will be
seated In orderly rows under their
State banners, like a neatly arranged
garden, with each row bearing a
placard to tell what breed of plant
may be expected to leap out at the
proper time.
Workmen Are Busy.
Just now, however, there are no
placards to tell what delegate may
spring from his seat to shout for rec
ognition. In fact, there are no seats
for him to spring from.
There are simply broad tiled floors,
covering some two acres of space,
flanked by row upon row of blood-red
seats that rise bank upon bank until
they dwindle out of new high up
among the thin steel cobwebs that are
the rafters
On one edge of the convention floor
are two stacks of timbers—one a flame
of color, the other plain, unvarnished
lumber. The first is the red seats that
will stand on the convention floor.
The second is the wood that will go
into the platform and the seats for
the selected dignitaries
From down in the basement comes
the sound of workmen's hammers
wires are being strung. Tables are
being pushed Into place. Electricians
are tinkering with lights. Telegraph
1 experts are lining up instruments.
I Wooden partitions are being nailed into
I place. All of the many details that
j must be worked out before news can
I travel out to the four corners of the
j world are being smoothed away.
Plenty of Time Left.
Outside decorators are stringing up
flags and bunting. Twenty-three miles
of the colorful material must be put
Into piece before the gavel rings out
next Tuesday. Scores upon scores of
I flags must be anchored firmly into their
! places high up in the steel girders that
sustain the roof.
Just off the convention floor a work
man Is chiseling a hole through a brick
: wall, opening a passageway to what will
I be the headquarters for the press asso
I ciations The stand for over 700 news- ,
| paper men also has yet to be built
But the work will be finished There
is a full week left. And In the words
' of M. J. Doherty, superintendent of the
1 stadium, a couple of hundred men can
do a lot of work in a week.”
The work goes ahead underneath a
: cluster of lights, set far up among the
rafters to throw into bold relief the
figures of the prize fighters who usually
dance about In a rope-bordered square
