five cents for the first ounce to
eight cents, with an Increase of 13
centa on each additional ounce.

maining at one cent.
In answer to several Inquiries, R.
O. Beach, assistant postmaster, em
phasized the fact today that the
new rates will apply to local de
liveries, as well as foreign mall. An
Idea seems to have circulated about
the town, to the effect that local
deliveries will be exempt from the
tax, which Increases the price of
mailing rates. Thla Is erroneous
and Its origination unknown, Mr.
Beach declared today.
Signs have been placed about the
local post office. Informing the pub

cents, a letter containing four sheeta
of ordinary writing paper can be
carried. With the addition of any
fraction of an ounce over the one
ounce limit the mailing price will
be changed to 13 cents.
With the Increase in mailing rates,

unless President Hoover himself were,
to advocate repeal. 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
