“Beer Parades” in States
TWO SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Received Sunday, 7.40 p.m. NEW YORK, April 16. Special significance is attached to two developments in the prohibition situation which have just occurred. The first is the adoption by the Missouri State Republican Convention of a resolution asking for the re-submission of the Eighteenth Amendment to the State Constitutional Conventions and the approval of the resolution by the Secretary of Agriculture (Mr. Hyde), one of the leading dry exponents in the Cabinet.
The second is an announcement ol plans for nation-wide "beer parades,” suggested by Mayor Walker, of New York, for May 14. Heads of cities and national groups of various sorts, including the American Federation of Labour, have accepted the proposal, and a coun-try-wide demonstration is expected. Mr. Hyde’s move is expected to presage a similar programme in the National Republican Party’s platform. He explained that he had not changed his views, but believed in the people’s right to be heard.
