In short, both parties made a mess of it and Hoover and Smith will have a hard time which makes it appear to us that this "enforcement" of the dry act is the most inconsistent, moct incongruous and most terrible thing this country has ever had. Here we have two groups of men, representatives of the two leading political parties® going th conventions and telling the world that they "are in favor of the enforcing of the dry law" yet according to Mr. Henning and generally known sources the delegates actually went on a spree at the very time they were writing the planks advocating the strict. enforcement of prohibition. Can you imagine anything more terrible than the presentation of such an incongruous char-- acter on the part of two respective conventions?

The frequent violations of the law encourage'yoihlg and old to violate OTHER LAWS which are to our notion more important in their observance than the dry law.

Mr. Henning says that "the truckloads of empty bottles car-- ried out of the hotels at Houston bear mute but impressive testi-- mony to the wetness of the democratic convention." There was no secret about the tippling going on at this Hous-- ton corivention for more than a week. Through the open doors of hundreds of hotel rooms those sweltering nights you heard the hilarious laughter of hibulous gatherings.

Because booze seems to be the most important national topic, a few extracts from Mr. Henning's decidedly interesting articles What strikes me most forcibly also is that the attitude toward prohibition has become more cynical on the part of the leaders of the party now responsible for the enforcement of the Volstead act and of the party which hopes to be placed in charge. it was.that wet at thoso two places that they were the wettest national conventions held in the whole HISTORY of the country, have seen drinking on the extent that Henning has pictured the situation =at: Kansas--City--and Houston. j According to Henaing both in Kansas City and Houston the The choral singing of "Sweet Adeline" in the hotel corridors about tracted for one immediately upon atrival.
