The Rock Island

Oj A NNOUNCEMENT in Sunday's

CONVENTION
SIDELIGHTS
Entering into very diversified ac-
tivities. citizens of El Reno and
Canadian county Monday were
celebrating in an undemonstrative
way the 156th anniversary of the
signing of the Declaration of In-
dependence.
Most of the business houses were
closed and were to continue so
throughout the day. The Daily
Tribune went to press at noon in
order to give Its employes a half
holiday.

plans for his presidential campaign

regarding the campaign with form-
er U. 8. Attorney Oeneiul A

The New York state governor,
cheerful despite the rigors of his
dramatic last- ninute appearance
before the Democratic national
convention to deliver his official
acceptance address, discussed with
Palmer, one of his political ad-
visers, Mvnous phases of the en-
suing November elections.
Silent On Ideas
Although Roosevelt declared that
his bid for the presidency started di-
rectly after he completed his address,
he remained silent upon his personal
ideas. Prior to retiring late last
night the governor also "talked
politics" with Palmer and Louis
Howe, one of the leaders of fils

Chicago. July 4 (U.R)—A vigorous
attack on the prohibition planks
in the Republican and Democratic
parties was issued today by the

a "last ditch" fight against any
and all repeal or modification
proposals.
"The results of the recent na-
tional political conventions were
not such as to eliminate the pro-
hibition Issue from the 1932 cam-
paign.'' the statement said.
The prohibition board subscribed
to thc portion of the Republican
plank declaring for obedience and
enforcement of the 18th amend-
ment and preservation ol gains
accomplished under ft.
"The plank further declares that
congress should submit a substitute
amendment which would give the
people an opportunity to decide
whether they will retain the 18th
amendment or adopt u substitute,"
the board declared
"To this portion of the plank we
are opposed as we are to the sub-
mission of any rrpeHl or weaken-
ing modification of the amend-
ment. This plank, however, does
not declare any party prelerence ‘

I(1,0(111 OFFICE SEEKERS
IN PRIMARY TUESDAY
Oklahoma City, July 4 (U.R)—Ok-
lahoma voters will march to thc
polls tomorrow to mow down most
of thc some 10.000 candidates for
office, the largest number In the
state's history.
For some of the survivors, the
volley of LTillots may sound like
a salute, sweeping them Into of-
fice or giving them their party
nominations without a runoff.
But for most of the 8000 state
candidates and thousands of local
office seekers, It will be a day ot
annihilation.
Candidate!) Anxious
Today, nnxtous aspirants awaited
the balloting. They speculated on
what thc depression had done to
a silent, sullen electorate tn the 77
counties Many of them took ad-
vantage of the Independence day
holiday to make final speeches to
voters who seemed more interested
In picnics, fireworks and enter-
tainment.
Although voters were aroused
from their apathy somewhat by
hot local contests and Oov. W. H.
Murray's open fight to win con-
trol of the next legislature, the
ballot total was expected to be
from 75,000 to 100,000 less than
that two years ago.
Buttle-scarred veterans of Okla-
homa's tempestuous political Jousts
are vielng with newcomers In
what they hope will be spectacular
come-backs.
Other Ram
In addition to the some 7,-
000 local races, voters will ballot
on the following:
One U. 8. senator; one corpora-
tion commissioner; one congress-
mun-at large; eight district con-
gressmen; one Judge of the cri-
minal court of appeals, four state
supreme court Justices; 22 state
