Another meeting has been scheduled for April 11, when a full and complete report of the progress of the endeavor will bo given. . THREE TOWNS FINISH CENSUS Washington, April 2.

North Dakota Democrats for a Repeal Plank State Convention Asserts Prohibition Has Failed in 10-Year "Trial" See 'Real Chance' Jamestown, N. D., April 2. Re peal of the Eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act was urged in a plank in the platform adopted today by the North Dakota state democra tic convention. It was the principal plank in the platform upon which the party's candidates will make the race for state and national offices next fall. State Chairman II. II. Perry of Elfendale, Secretary Fred W. Mc Lean of Grand Forks, and P. W. Lanier of Jamestown, congressional candidate in the Second district, said they feel the antiprohibition Etand of the party gives it a real chance for victory. North Dakota is normal ly rpul-lica". The plank asserted North Dakota democrats favcr temperance and are against the saloon, but that "ten years under prohibition has resulted in a reign of intemperance in words, xependiture of money, crime and corruption." "The unholy allianre between the underworld bootlegger?!, rum run ners, moonshiners and fanatic pro hibitionists Ih being financed by our prohibition law and sponsored by the national republican party and has gotten to a place where the very foundation of cur national gov ernment is threatened," the plank reads. "Prohibition has robbed the farm er of his market for corn, rye, bar ley and hops, thereby throwing farm production out of balance and re sulting in overproduction in wheat, overproduction of feed grains and the general and complete breakdown in land values and ruination to the farmer, not only in North Dakota, but in all agricultural districts." The platform asserts that the party "favors the repeal of the Eighteenth amendment and Volstead prohibition law and recommends that right to pass on this question be returned to states under govern ment control."
