The foregoing total of 137 would.
however, not be enough to win as
263 la required.

Of .course the Democrats an toa-
Ing aO their flgvrea on the jaotp-
tlon that "a strong ca-dlnata" will
be nominated. They would hardly
be able to ran Herbert Hoover on
a wet platform, as he la thoroughly
dry. It would have to be what is
called a "liberal" plank in oner to
tempt A. Mitchell Palmer, who la a
prohibition advocate. But if Mr.
Hoover were nominated, maybe
the Democrats wouldn't feel the
necessity of a damp plank. They
mlaht be disposed to let it be
fouabt out in individual congres
sional districts where the Volstead
law would be attacked. Represen
tative Vare. a Republican, has al
ready announced that he would ask
for reelection on a wet platform.
So have many Democrats. Thus in
dividual congressmen might be
fighting for a liberal interpreta
tion of the liquor laws without re
gard to the top of the ticket. .
As for the Republicans, the
handicap of the solid south would
nrevent them from inserting a wet
plank in the Republican national
platform. They would not gam
southern votes by being wet and
they might lose certain Republican
states in the west. So the Demo
cratic leaders have figured it out
that the only chance of making it
an issue on the presidential taicket
rests with them. They point to the
sentiment of New Tork state,
Rhode Island, Ohio and the recent
victory of Governor Edwards in
New Jersey as an index of what
might be expected in a presidential
campaign in which prohibition was
an issue. Tbey can always count
on the south. The question is really
how many wet states are there in
the north which when combined
with the solid south makes a Demo
cratic victory possible?
The foregoing tabulation shows
one combination baaed purely on
the supposition that the liquor con
troversy would transcend all other
questions, all other Ilia of the Wil
son administration or promises of
the Republican party. If It were
not for the effective use by the Re
publicans or ancn slogans
soand money" ana uie ran Din

Would it do aay good to vote for a

are two views on this; Those

JEWISH PEOPLE
Itl DEMAND FOR
CEMETERY SITE
City CoMisslonen Talk of Giving
Permission Call Final Meet.
Ing for Jiext Monday.
A meeting will be held at the
eitv hall next Monday when prop
erty holders living in the newly
annexed territory between Eigh
teenth and Thirty-first avenue and
Twenty-first and Forty-sixth streets
will meet members of the Hebrew
Cemetery association to settle once
and for all the controversy, over
the association's cemetery site.
Th association has a sue or ap
proximately eight acres in the Ti
cinty of Thirty-first avenue and
Twenty-third street
The association was preparing u
provide a burial grounds when the
property holders remonstrated with
the city commissioners.
The controversy that ensuea ac
tually served as the pivot point
around which turned, the success
ful campaign for the annexation of
the1 750-acre tract. It was believed
by the city commissioners and the
cemetery association that the prop
erty holders had promised to see
that the association should come to
no financial loss as the result of
the decision to give up the site that
the annexation proposition might
eo through.
Since the tract was annexed at
the special election Aug. 19, 1919,
through which the association at
tempted to get Uie property noio-;
ers to take the cemetery site off its
bands. However, all negotiations
have failed, as did a plan to take
up subscriptions to cover the dif
ference of the purchase price in
selling the land to some quick pur
chaser. ' '
May Allow Cemetery.
S. Slaterdowsky. president of the
cemetery association, appeared be
fore the city commissioners yester
day afternoon and appealed for
some action in the case. He said
that the association can not pur
chase a new site until it has sold
the present site, and that the Jew
ish people can not continue to take
their dead to Davenport for burial,
as that cemetery is fast filling up.
Mayor Schriver answered that he
had lost nearly all hope for the
property holders to take the site
off . the association's hands, and
course than to allow tht

MASON TIRES and TUBES
The wontJerfnl mileage records made fay
Mason tires are trie talk of tdredom.
Their superiority in-all the qualities that
unite to give high satisfaction, high mile
age, economy of car upkeep, riding com
fort and freedom from "tire trouble" is
the result of the pooling of the skill of
the most expert tire builders of America
in the Mason organization. In speedway
events from coast to coast, which give
tires the supreme test for endurance,
Mason is the preference of many noted
drivers for dependability.
