The woman was left Saturday light where she could have readily >een seen from the street in the lay time, the negroes testified, and iuspicion arose in the minds of hose in authority why she was not liscovered Sunday.

( MOST OF THE NEWS ALL THE TIME NUMBER27 ROOSEVELT MAY BECOME NOMINEE Indications Late Yesterday Were That New York Governor Would Win ADOPT A WET PLATFORM Indications late yesterday afternoon were that the Democratic Contention meeting in Chicago would today nominate Franklin D. Roosevelt, Governor of New York, as the Democratic candidate for President of the United States. The platform, characterized in a News and Observer headline as wringing wet, was adopted shortly after noon on Thursday. Upon roll call of states, Alabama yielded to New York and John E. Mack placed 'the name of Governor Roosevelt in nomination. The nomination was followed by a great demonstration that lasted for nearly an hour as the delegates paraded and shouted in honor of the nominal tion. The roll .call was continued and the names of John Garner and Alfred E. Smith were placed in nomination, both candidates also receiving a great ovation. Nomination speeches for Reed of Missouri, White of Ohio, Byrd of Virginia, Ritchie of Maryland and possibly other favorite sons were expected to 'take up the last night session of the convention with balloting to follow today. The most outstanding plank in "the Democratic platform was added when the party pledged itself for repeal of the 18th Amendment and earliest possible amendment of the Volstead Ac; to permit legal manufacture of beer and wine within the limits of the Constitution. The plank on JVrohibition, as approved by the platform committee, says: "We favor the repeal of 'the 18th Amendment. "To effect such repeal, we demand that the Congress immediately propose a Constitutional amendment to truly representative conventions in the states called to act solely on that proposal. "We urge the enactment of such measures by the several states as will actually promote temperance, pffppfivplv nrAvpnt. thp upturn nf thp V?.VVV.,VV |^?V.V..V V?*v .vv%w** W. w saloon and bring the liquor traffic into the open under complete supervision and control by 'the states.
