Ras-n?* Warns Of Prohibition Split Am>nc Democrats Thinks Tarty lj|«n Elect Next f’resi- ‘ dent If Two factions fiet Together. Washington. Jan. 8.—Democracy j was warned last night by Chairman ' Haskofi of the national committee to find a common meeting ground i • cm prohibition or face n north and • south split or a third party. In a letter to member of the dem- : ocratic national committee he ad vanced as a solution a constitution al amendment pro^i'ing Tor state I control of liquor, which he has pro posed under the title of a ‘ home j rule” plan Talking later with newspaper men however, he emphasised that lie i Would not ask the committee at i Saturday's meeting to commit itself •B this or any other issue. He said, though, the prohibition question •as bound to come before national convention. He also told newspaper men that no one could say he was interested in any single candidate. He added he particularly wanted to aioid any party “obligarchy.” Favors Early Meeting. Casting tradition aside. Itaskob; favored the democrats' having their j convention ahend of the republican: meeting, scheduled for June 14. Hcj proposed that ttie democrats “ig-: nore the republicans; adopt a brief | platform touching all vital issues i without the usual whereases." ‘There is no question prohibition is going to be an issue in the na tional convention.” he said. However he expressed the hope no attempt would be made at Saturday's com mittee meeting to modify a resolu tion to the convention. He also insisted that ilie south “is willing for a referendum.’’ and that he thinks the south is not “dif ferent from the rest of the coun try.1’ in his letter to tne committee members, Raskob said his recent poll of contributors to the 1928 campaign fund showed 93 per cent of those replying to liis question naire favored returning prohibition to the decision of the people. 80 per cent indorsed a popular vote on his home rule plan, and 19 per cent wanted a referendum on repeal. Oi 11.500 questionnaires submitted, an attached statement said. 35.578 re plies were received. In his report Raskob said: "T believe that in the ranks of our country there are those who believe that national prohibition is good. Just as there are those who believe with equal sincerity that prohibition i* undermining the mor als of our country and will over throw the government unless chang ed In some manner. “I believe there will be either a definite split between the demo cratic party of the north and the democratic party of the south, or there will be formed a liberal party in America unless those of us who love the traditions of the democratic party find some common ground under the teachings of Jefferson upon which both the vret and dry elements in our party can unite without resorting to expediencies and sacrificing the high principles of either school of thought. “I believe that Hus common ground must be found before the convention meets in order that dem ocrats everywhere mat have oppor tunity to study it carefully andj understand it .thus enabling dele- j gates to the convention to act with: a great sense of security in the j adoption of a platform out of the hands of propagandists- and politic ians and place it with the people for decision. "Many say prohibition will not be an issue In the 1932 campaign; that the people want bread, not beer. Granting this there still remain not the slightest doubt that prohi bition will be an issue with whfihi the democratic national convention must deal." ADMINISTRATRIX’* NOTH'!'.

In that book Thomas Dixon, brilliant brother of Mrs. Thacker, is to collaborate with Harry M. Daugherty, who was driv en out of the cabinet in disgrace. The purpose of the book is to try to remove the stain from Daugherty, discredited in the eyes of the country. It is being written to give him 'vindication.’ It will undertake to create tile impression that Hard ing was a well-meaning, good-na tured, gullible chap who had been the victim of a vast amount of skulduggery on the part of his friends—including Daugherty—and that Mrs, Harding was responsible for her husband's death, "An exchange says that 'while stripped of everything a man priz es, Daugherty apparently has been able to hold on to his money It is said that he is paying a handsome sum to Dixon for writing the book, which will scarcely return the cost of printing.' He,could not have se cured a collaborator who is more skilled In turning out sensational and brilliant fiction. Of course, Mr. Dixon knows nothing of the ‘in side story'—no more than Mrs. Thacker knew of the ‘inside story' told her by Gaston Means. He will garnish a story that Daugherty will embellish. After it appears, and the public demands evidence, Mr. Dixon will have to follow the course of his sister and declare that he has been imposed upon" Brothers Who Killed Six, Kill Themselves ■ CONTINUED PROM PAGE ONE' house, one shouted: ■ We are dead: come and get us.
