Washington, May 27.—(AP) The i campaign year worries of the Repub- I lican overshadowed for so long by ! the more spectacular tribulations of i the Democrats, have taken a Iront I seat once more in national politics. Writing a prohibition plan accept- I able alike to Republican wets and Republican drys has proved harder I than many expected. Campaign funds L remain almost non-existent. A fully qualified campaign manager still is lacking. Senator Borah has decided not even to attend the June 14 Chi cago convention. On top of it all, a powerful group of stalwarts in Con gress are complaining bitterly that they have been left out of party coun cils. All of these things have added ma terially to the natural irritation of a time of great political stress. In large measure they have diverted attention during the present week from the continuing Democratic strife over the presidential nomination. This does not mean that the Demo cratic problem has grown any sim pler. It is moving along for conven tion solution about as every body ex pected. The week saw Franklin D. Roosevelt capture the Delaware dele gation of six. and he stands to add 24 tomorrow from Utah and Colorado. On the basis of the Roosevelt claims I that will make a total of 599. or 21 ; more than Ja convention majority. , Speaker John N. Garner was given | Texas, bringing his total to 90, and ; Alfred E.

Two conferences have been held, one in Nyw York and another here, but the movement admittedly has not gotten very far. It is unsatisfartoiy to tbie militant wets and drys of both parties. Senator Reed, of Pennsylvania, high In Republican councils, endorsed the proposals. Senator Robinson, of Ar kansas, the Democratic leader, also concurred in the proposition. Senator Dill, of Washington, a Dem ocratic prohibitionist, and prominent in the campaign of Governor Roose velt of New York to rthe presidential nomination, advocated it as a means of fighting the 1932 campaign on the economic issue. In 1852 the Wings and the Demo crats tried the same proposition on slavery. Identical declarations were adopted then by the two parties on ihai burning controversy. Eight years later the Civil War began. Leaders of both sides in the pro hibition contest have said "all right, if you accept our proposal.'* “I should like to see the prohibition luestion liieted out of partisanship." *aid Robinson, “but, frankly, I don’t <ee how it can be done.' “I hope it can be done." said Reed.
