Tar Heel Democrats who attended the State convention here were back home today after a session which was’l mostly, harmonious, except during the consideration of ihe prohibition tew. The convention, however, refused to instruct the delegates to the national convention in Chicago to vote for submission of the law to the people. 1 The delegation, which has 26 votes in Chicago, was instructed to cast them for Roosevelt for the presidential nomination. The plank in the platform dealing with prohibition, said to have been a compromise on several planks sub mitted to the committee by its mem bers, stated that "the Democratic party has always been responsive to ihe will of the people, and. In obed ience thereto, has sponsored and en acted all the prohibition laws of North Carolina. Recognition, however, this right of the people in a legal way to amend the Constitution of the nltad States at their pleasure, and to vote on all questions at issue, we declare our party stands firmly for the en forcement of these laws and every provision of the Federal Constitution as long as it remains the law of the land."
