REPUBLICAN DEMONSTRATION IN FAVOUR OF MR. HOOVER.
(Press. Assn.—
THE PROHIBITION ISSUE.
-By Telegraph — Copyright).
CHICAGO, Thursday. The Republicans foregathered at the Convention Stadium for about an hour this morning and demonstrated for 20 minutes for Mr. Hoover. The Convention then adjourned until after dinner to-night. The adjournment was made necessary by the Resolutions Committee's failure to reach a final agreement as to the wording of the prohibition plank. It is hoped an agreement will be reached before night, or the issue will be taken on the open floor. The "wet" forces promise an exciting flght should this be done, but there is some reason to believe that any pugnaciousness will be promptly "steam rollered." The demonstration for Mr. Hoover (of whom there was not even a single picture hung in the huge hall) bore at its inception all the signs of a preconceived performance carefully managed, but it gained in spontaniety as it increased in momentum.
