It had been believed generally that he would accept and the convention throughout tho day made its plans with that view. The convention was in recess when the. first dispatch from Bozeman, Mont., was received, but the news quickly" spread and a funeral could not have given a more disconsolate appearance around prohibition headquarters.

Senator Harding's attitude on prohibition, as expressed in his, speech of acceptance at Marion today, is "entirely unsatis factory to the prohibition party," Virgil G. Hinshaw, chairman of the national committee said today. Senator Harding will receive no support from prohibitionists because he did not promise to use his veto power over any bill repealing the en forcement act," said Mr. Hinshaw. "On the contrary, Tie seems to In vite such a repeal. His attitude seems entirely unsatisfactory." The prohibition convention today adopted a platform favoring the league of nations, but expressing no opposition to reservations, advocat ing greater participation by women federal agencies for bettering the condition of workers, promising farmers' aid in equalizing prices, se curing farm labor ana co-operative marketing and demanding Industrial courts to end industrial warfare. The platform set forth the party's views as follows: 1. Prohibition Gives thanks for national prohibition, commendation of congress for enforcement laws passed and of the supreme court for upholding the 18th amendment and enforcement law. 2. Nullification Denounces efforts of "organized liquor traffic" to nul lify amendment by modifying en forcement act and condemns republi can and democratic parties for plat form silence on this point. 3. League of nations Favors en trance of United States into league by immediate ratification of peace treaty, "not objecting to reasonable reserva tions interpreting American under standing of covenant." Favors con stitutional amendment providing trea ties ot peace be ratified by majority of both houses of congress.' 4. Education Compulsory educa- LINCOLN, Neb., July 22. A tele gram from Will H. Hays received to day in reply to a query sent by Virgil G. Hinshaw, national committee chair man of the prohibition party, states that the proposed "law and order plank" in the republican platform was stricken out by the platform sub- committee in Chicago as "meaning-1 less and was never presented to the full platform committee or to the convention. In his telegram Mr. Hays said the sub-committee considered the supreme court's decision as to the constitu tionality of the Volstead act rendered a dry plank unnecessary and the law aivd order plank superfluous. There fore, he said, it was omitted from the platform. The telegram added that "of course" ' the republican .platform stood for law enforcement and that that fact "was made clear by the nrsi pianK of the republican platform," declaring for constitutional government. The text of Mr. Hays' telegram fol lows: "Replying your telegram just for warded from New York, there is no confusion in the record of republican national convention and there is no omitted plank on law and order or on the prohibition question. The facts are as follows: "The original draft of the platform formulated by the sub-committee of the committee on resolutions con tained a plank on law and order which read as follows: 'The equality of all er the law has always policy of the republican par ty; without obedience to law and maintenance of order our American institutions must perish. Our daws must be impartially enforced and speedy justice should be secured with regard to the sale and manufacture of intoxicating beverages. The repub lican party, will stand for the en forcement of the constitution of the United States as it shall be declared by the supreme court.' This plank was discussed by the sub-committee on the very day the published report of the decision of the supreme court with respect to the Volstead act reached the members of the sub-committee. This decision seemed to the members of the sub committee to make the entire plank as meaningless and useless as a plank saying we believed right to- be right. Of course it went without saying that we stood for the constitution and en forcement of the laws of the lands as witnessed by our first declaratory plank in the platform on constitu tional government. "The proposed plank on law and or der was therefore stricken out by unanimous vote of the committee and was never presented to the entire committee on resolutions nor "to the convention.
