Close Check Shows Advocates
of Light Wines and Beer
Cannot Win Endorsement
of Politicians.
By ARTHUR SFARS HENUNG.
Chiracs Trlbuiie-Onmlia lire 1awil Wire.
Washington, May 7. "Wet"
hopes to obtain a plank in the demo
cratic and republican national plat
forms favoring light wines and beers
have gone glimmering, according to
information percolating from the
hradquartets of loth parties today.
There has been a checking up of
the prospective "wet" strength in
the conventions by the republican
and democratic leaders within the
last week, it transpires, with the re
, suit that the foes of prohibition have
been advised i the hopelessness of
their cause, so far as the presidential
contest is concerned. i ,
Officials or the democratic national
committee made an unusually care
ful canvass of the situation, for the
reason that both Governor Edwards
of New Jersey and Governor Cox of
Ohio have been figuring as presi
dential possibilities favoraUe to 4he
resurrection of beer, arid it was the
democratic - convention which was
looked to chiefly by the "wets" as
likely to adopt a wine and beer plank
,froni political consideration, if not
from conviction.
Drys in Majority; ' .
The democratic :heck-up showed
that only 16 of the 56 members ol
the resolutions -committee at San
Francisco wouRl,. be in favor of a
prevailing sentiment of thh states
electing the delegates who will name
the members of the committee. tM
is understood that as a result of "This
canvass, Chairman Cummings of the
democratic national committee, who
will be the temporary chairman of
the democratic convention, will re
frain from striking any keynote
favorable to the "wets." Demo
cratic leaders have also urged the
antNprohibitoinists to "lay off,"
warning them that if they continue
to press for a "wet" plank they
surely will spur the prohibitionists
to force through a strong "dry"
plank. , i
The democratic chieftains "here
hope that by putting the snuffers on
the "wets'SWilliam Jennings Bryan
can be persuaded to abandon his. in
tention to fight for a plank strongly
endorsing the eighteenth amendment
and enforcement thereof. Silejtce on
the liquor issue is ardently desired
by the democratic leaders.
No Prospect at Chicago.
The ca;ivass by republican leaders
showed that the "wets" would be
even weaker at Chicago than at San
Francisco.
The prospect, therefore, .s fhat the
advocates of light wines and beer
will transfer their endeavors to the
congressional campaign, seeking to
elect a congress which will modify
the definition of intoxicating liquor.
It. would take a "wet" landslide to
win the house and with only one
third of the senators to be elected1
the "wets" could scarcely hope for a
frendly senate in the next congress.

Duchess of Clermont x
Does Not Appreciate ,
American Restaurants
Faris, May 7. American food. 'as
served in restaurants in that coun
try, did not favorably impress tnc
duchess of Clennont-Tonnerre, who
wsited the United States last au
tumn and has written a book on her
trip. The only American foods that
appear to have made an appeal to
the duchess were red bananas, Cali
fornia apples and oranges and
"hams of Virginia."
"One must admit," she says in
her book, "that food in America is
not good. To a Frenchman, the
word 'meal' cannot be applied to the
bolting down of a club sandwich in
five or six bites. The necessity of
eating seems to have become for
Americans a sort of monotonous
and obligatory annoyance and they
are bending all endeavors 'tovnard
simplifying the performance."
The duchess says she "is unable
to comprehend why an Aiflericatt
should require less time for his
whole luncheon than one of her

Thousands Have discovered
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets '
Are a Harmless Substitute
Dr. d wards' Olive Tablets are the
result of Dr. Edwards' determination
not to treat liver and bowel complaints
with calomel. For 17 years, he used
these' tablets (a vegetable compound
mixed with olive oil) in his private
practice with great success.
They do all the good that calomel
does but have no bad 'after effects. No
pains, no griping, no injury to the
?ums or danger from acid foods--yet
they stimulate the liver and bowels.
Take Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets
when you feel "logy" and "heavy."
Note how they clear clouded brain and
perk up the spirits, lpc and 25c a box.
