West, Associated Press Staff Writer HOUSTON, June .29-The spirit of conciliation which has pervaded the Democratic national convention from the first was strong enough to carry through the party platform Without a fight over the law enforcement plank which had been threatened for several days. Both the ultra drys and the wets gave way in the interest of party har- mony with the result that the con- vention approved a dry plank pledg- ing the party and' its nominees to "an honest effort to enforce the eighteenth amendment and all other provisions of the federal constitution and all laws enacted pursuant thereto." This plank was a compromise be- tween that supported at the outset by the Smith forces and that propos- ed by such dry leaders as Governor Dan Moody of Texas, Josephus Dan- iels, North Carolina publisher, and other outstanding leaders of the par- ty in the solid south.. Moody Bows To Inevitable The battle betweenrthe contending forces was waged for, hours before he resolutions committee before that body accepted a compromise plank of- ered by Senator Glass of Virginia, and pledging the Democracy to support he prohibition laws if given a grant of power from the electorate in No- rember.

With the prohibition issue thus am-, eably settled, party leaders were pre-1 iared to keep to the front alleged cor- uption in government under the Re- ublican rule, which was strongly de- ounced In a plank reviewing the oil, 'eterans bureau, elections and other, candals. The declaration for farm relief was nother paramount pronouncement by he party, which pledged itself to en-t .ct legislation for taking care of sur- 'lus crops, for the creation of a farm oard to assist co-operative marketing rganizations and to give agriculturet he sanme treatment in the tariff that s accorded to other industries. Throughout the platform, the Re-I ublican administration of goverpment' uring the past eight years was vig- rously assailed on such matters as1 Dreign policy, finance and taxation, growing tendency toward bureau-t racy, tariff failure to enact farm re-l lef and expenditures in primaries andt lections.l Over 170 tons of face powder, rouge,c p-sticks and other aids to beautyc vere brought from Germany for .salei n Great Britain last year. t s- r ,r Alfred E.

Hussey Of Department Of Geology Will Conduct Second Excursion Of Session TRIP TO TAKE FOUR DAYS Registrations are being received for the student excursion to Niagara Falls to be conducted on July 6, 7, 8, and 9 under the direction of Prof. R. C. Hus- sey of the department of Geology. Those desiring to make the trip are asked to register in room 3051 Nat- ural Science building. It is planned to have the party leave Detroit by boat Friday evening, July 6, and re- turn to Ann Arbor early Monday mor- ning, July 9. The cost of the trip to each member of the party will be $25.00. In the excursion is included a trip by trolley along the river gorge, a boat ride on "The Maid of the Mist," and a ride over the giant whirlpool in a small car suspended from a cable. The Niagara Falls excursion is one of several trips to outside points of interest arranged especially for stu- dents in the Summer Session. Professor Hussey, director of the excursion, has arranged to make the trip with the party. During the course of the excursion Professor Hussey will divulge information regarding the history and present characteristics of the Falls. In view of the limitation placed on the number of those who can be ac- commodated on the excursion it is suggested that those desiring to make the trip register immediately. FARM VOTE OF WI ON CROPS-STAr "If crops are good the West will probably go Republican as usual," stated Professor H. B. Calderwood of the Political Science department of the University in an informal inter- view granted yesterday. Professor Calderwood made it cleaK that any survey of the present political situa- tion could not but be speculative in- asmuch as the election is so far dis- tant and the forces at work so large and varied. "Of course, with poor crops a strong reactionary feeling will likely prevail, and the Democrats will have much more power in the farm- ing districts," he added. He did not consider the farm re- lief problem to be of such great im- portance as it is thought by some. "The farmer will probably vote along his regular party lines," he said, "with some taking into account of Prohibi- tion and the religious question." This latter will have great influence on the ordinary voter, Prof. Calderwood believed, although the feeling will not be expressed openly. "Both parties offer a paradox in the relation of their candidates and their platforms," he declared.
