HOOVER KEY TO
DEMO FUTURE
Attitude On Patronage ‘Out
rages’ In South To Be
Deciding Issue
WINTER PARK. Fla., March 28.
•—UP)—Whether “the solid south” is
definitely broken depends on the
attitude of the Hoover administra
tion toward “patronage outrages”
in the south and “the alacrity with
which the democratic party recog
nizes the fact that national elec
tion results last year spelled an em
phatic endorsement of prohibition,”
George Fort Milton, editor of the
Chattanooga (Tenn.) News, told
the Institute of Statesmanship to
day.
Mr. Milton addressed the gather
ing on “The Future of the Demo
cratic Party in the United States.”
He expressed the hope that “in
each of the southern states there
will grow from sound social and ec
I onomic foundations, a strong oppo
sition party.”
“Nothing could contribute more
vitally to the health and strength
of the democratic party,” he said,
I “than the knowledge that when the
democrats nominate a weak, cor
rupt or inept candidate for office,
this man will have the fight of his
life to win the plum he seeks.”
Tammany Spelled Defeat
Concerning the outcome of last
year's presidential election, Mr.
Milton declared that “by no means
do I attribute to the operation of
religious prejudices in the south
the most substantial share of the
determination of the result. The
democratic candidate in 1928, al
though a man of appealing person
ality, was nurtured by a political
organization, the very name of
which has been for decades a hiss
ing byword in the south, and was
committed to political views which
were anathema to probably a ma
jority of the people of the south.
“The dry anti-Tammany demo
crats of the south who left the
party rather than vote for a wet
presidential condidate who was a
sachem of Tammany Hall, can
hardly be expected to return to the
ranks of democracy on a further
campaign by the party against pro

“The 1928 campaign led to the
national referendum on prohibitiion
which Mr. Raskob had forecast.
The American people emphatically
disapproved the attempt to overturn
prohibition as a national policy. In
view of this nation wide verdict of
the voters, north, south, east and
west, prohibition must be regarded
as having received the definite ap
proval of the people, and the demo
cratic party must no more be com
mitted to a candidate and a cam
paign for prohibition’s overthrow.’’

3 KIDNAPERS
Woman Teacher Taken From
School Room As Fright
ened Pupils Look On
WILKESBARRE, Pa., March 28.
—(jP)—Suffering from shock and
bruises. Miss Margaret Dodson. 20,
remained in a hospital today, while
search continued for two men and
a woman who kidnaped her and
abandoned her in a wooded section.
She is a teacher at the rural school
in Muhlenburg.
She was seized at the school yes
terday and, while her frightened pu
pils looked on, was thrown into an
automobile. Some of the children
ran to their homes and told their
parents, who notified state police.
Searchers found her in the woods
several hours later and after being
taken to the hospital she frequently
lapsed into unconsciousness. She
gave no detailed account of her ex
perience, but said she did not know
the men and woman who took her
away.
Police started search for the writ
er of three threatening letters, one
of which was found in Miss Dod
son’s desk Monday after the school
had been broken into the night be
fore. The letter was signed ‘Frank
J., an dread: “This has gone far
enough. Watch your step.” Two
other letters were pinned to the
schoolhouse door recently. .
Belief was expressed by the po
lice that the kidnaping was actuat
ed by revenge because the teacher
had reported a parent for not send
ing a pupil to school.
