Chautauqua, N. Y., Aug. 14.
"The solid dry south'* made Its first
attack upon the "wet democrac)*'
today.
Governor Pat M. Neff, of Texas,
speaking before the Chautauqua
General Assembly, bltterly attacked
those who repealed the New York
State prohibition law, and called
upon the nation to see that "we take

were tempered somewhat to the non
i political nature of Chautauqua, but
his speech was a broadside attack on
Governor A1 Smith of New York.
"He Is a spineless citizen and an un-
worthy American who gives encoura-
gement to those lawbreakers and
J law-defyers by raising In their be-
half question as to the power of the
j government to enforce her constitu-
j tional statutory laws," he declared
| at one point in his speech.
The wets of the party were not
the only ones scored in the tongue
lashing by the Texan. He scored the
republican administration for laxity
in enforcement of laws in Panama,

The address of the fiery Texan set

THE FLAG POLE
A photoplay based on the play
which a few yearB ago was one of
the hit* of Broadway Is "Success,''
scheduled for presentation Wednes
day at th® Rex Theatre, with Bran-
don Tynan, the stage star, ln the
role which he originally created In
the spoken play. The dramatic in-
terest In the story and the excellence
of the cast which interprets the va-
rious roles should make the presen-
tation a distinct hit.
"Success" is a story of the theatre
but unlike may of the type, this ls(
said to have been written by per-
sons familiar with the intimate de-
tails of life behind the footlights. Its
authors have managed to capture the
spirit and atmosphere of the play-
ouse, and the characters which they
have introduced are all faithful, ac-
tual types.
In addition to Mr. Tynan, the cast
includes the delightful screen ac-
tress, Mary Astor, as the talented!Ruetz
daughter; Naomi Childers as her Heine

of the old Washington county JaU la ,
the near future, according to a dec<-
slon made by the commissioners
