CALIFORNIA
PRESIDENT IS
AGAINST
CHICAGO, July 11.— (/P)— Mrs.
Eva C. Wheeler, Los Angeles, presi
dent of the Southern California Wo
man’s Christian Temperance Un
ion, today called upon the prohibi
tion party to support Herbert Hoo
ver, the Republican nominee for
the presidency.
She said it would be futile to or
ganlze a third party movement even
with a dry Democrat heading the
ticket, “and why a dry Democrat
rather than a dry Republican?” she
asked. Mrs. Wheeler discussed what
' she considered would be the effect
of Governor Smith’s election.
“Our supreme court is made up
of nine justices; they are appointed
by the president for life,” she ex
claimed. “Some of these gentlemen
are quite old. One, I believe? is 87.
Because of their advanced age, the
next president may name four mem
bers of the court.
The next president may name
more members of the court than any
president in the past twenty years.
We can only judge a man’s future
by his past. Governor Smith has
appointed twenty-one judges to the
supreme court, the district courts, or
some prominent place in his state
and every one has been a wet
'judge.
