For that reason it would be obviously to the dry in terest to use the strongest means at hand for defeating the Democrats' national candidates. "The drys will issue no formal statement until after they have men on Friday," said Poling, "but for myself I can say that the Democratic plank Is the plank of the dripping wets and not of Democracy, It can not satisfy drys, liberal or conserva tive. It makes repeal a, party issue- neutral repeal submission plank, less desirable to the drys than the modi flcatlonlst Republican plank, but no where near as objectionable to them as the advocacy of repeal with which the platform wound up. Under the new circumstances, first opinions of neutral observers leaned to the Idea that President Hoover would get the organized dry support, Bu he has yet to deliver his nomi nation acceptance speech which may have some bearing on the Republi can party's prohibition stand In the campaign. Victory In November for the Demo crats. after their platform decision, would amount, as far as the drys sre concerned, to a wet victory In a national referendum on prohibition 10 LEARN FATE LATER Three Ashland boys, who wlUs three Ashland girls, are charged with stealing a chicken and cooking It on Bear creek, contrary to the peace and dignity of the law, appeared la Juvenile court yesterday afternoon and were allowed to depart on thely own recognizance, pending final dlt position of their cases.
