Wheeler, general counsel for the Anti-saloon league, was delivering that organization’s second attack in a few hours on the polls being taken by many newspa- pers on the subject of total prohi bition as against beer and light wine. He told a radio audience that straw builots “are as useless as a straw hat in a blizzard.” Only a minority of the people want beer and wine, he said, “while the majority has spoken its mind on that proposition repeatedly, not in straw votes, but in official ballots and that majority has rejected, the wine and beer plea.” -The.exccutive) committee of. the, league, in set yea wi pea issued a statesent fing at the newspaper™ Holts” and meee that the drys generally did not partici- pate in them. That and other phases of the situation likely will be dis- cussed when the committee mects with President Coolidge tomorrow. Bicase Would Dry If the prohibition ion eve! comes before the senate again, Sen- ator Blease told the policemen’s meeting, “I am going to vote dry} because the prone of my state want) me to, but I am also going to tell | the senate when I do it, that it is; their vote and not mine.” The senator declared it was a >» Shame for policemen to bre~ about how many arrests for drunkenness had been made, adding that when he was a mayor he had ordered his of- ficers to escort drunken men to their homes.
