MAKE
STAND
(Associated Presi Leased Wire)
. "CHICAGO, June 21. The dem
ocratic parly was advised by form
er Senator James Hamilton Lewis
today to "avoid trick phrases" and
take a clear stand on the issues of
farm relief, and prohibition. Mr.
Lewis addressed the Press club of
V OIiIcuko 011 the eve of his depart
ure for. tliu democratic national
convention at' Houston.
The Conner squalor condemned
what he called "seduction of voles
by iiiiHtindfrslundiiig ami misrepre
sentation." "The republican party managers
at Kansas City," lie said, "evaded
the farm issue, and to catch votes
of the unwary, announced false
principles to escape responsibility
lor a clear statement of their in
tentions. The democyatic party in
certain sections now gives prom
ise of a similar deception. It Is
proposed to condemn President
Coolldge for the use of the veto
lor the prtended farm relief bill.
Demrocray must not descend to
the trick of arousing prejudice by
. an im-American1 position to gain
. misled votes.
"Democracy, sincerely opposes
national prohibition," Mr. Lewis
said. He denounced the 18th
amendment and advocated its re
peal; if' democracy ' favors the
iimcndnumt, it must demand its en
forcement, he added.
"There must be no avoidance of
Jssue by presenting doctrines of
modification of the Volstead act,"
he declared.

have so stood all along."
He said he had had no consulta-j

views were not those of Smith, but j

BELGRADE, Jugoslavia, June 21.
Punica Ratchttch, Montenegrin
deputy, who shot and killed two
deputies and wounded four in the
Jugoslav parliament yesterday,
lost none of his nerve when ar
raigned before u magistrate today,
on the churge of murder..
"1 am ready to be taken out Im
mediately and shot without trial,"
he exclaimed. "1 have fulfilled my
task,"
When Ratchttch previously had
tried t see the minister of the in
terior, Father Korosetch, the latter
said:. -" "
"I receive no murderers. Surren
der to the gendarmes in my ante
room." .
Hatchltch was asked why he car-'
rled a revolver in parliament and
replied: "Oh, everybody-in the
Balkans carries a small arsenal In
his belt, why not 1?"
Business Stilled
All Jugoslavia is mourning the
victims of yesterday's tragedy.
The newspapers have appeared In
black borders. Many stores, the-J
aires, moving picture nouses and
cafes are closed; tram cars and
trains have ceased to run tempor
arily. The peasants, among whom tho
dead and wounded men were held
in high esteem, are. in a state of
dangerous agitation; there are
mutterings and high tension,
, Thus far only the democratic
members of the cabinet have re
signed, but It is believed that those
remaining cannot long continue in
office in the present highly
wrought state of public mind.
Step to Prevent Riots
The government is taking the
utmost precautions to prevent out
breaks. It has forbidden more than
three peasants to congregate In
one place and has confiscated the
"retch," the organ of the radical
peasants for vitriolic attacks. The
bodies of the dead deputies will be
removed to Agram and burled
there tomorrow. The ministers
have been requested not to attend
the funeral for fear of provoking
the Incensed peasants.
The government has offered pen
sions to the families of the vic
tims, but the peasant party has re
fused to accept them, saying that
the bereaved families would he
cared for by the peasants.

grain alcohol or medicinal whiskey
for his sick wire. The druggist
asked him rnr a prescription but
the man snld that he-had none and

The clerk told him quite plainly
that the store had never been en
