Dry senators and representatives have been told by the wet leaders that congress cannot effectually set- tle the controversy without.a direct expression from the people, * “who, the wets contend, never have been given an opportunity to pass on prohibition either before or since the 18th amendment wis ratified. State Referendums Unsuccessfal Removal of this subject from the field ‘of national politics would’ be welcomed by leaders of both of the|,, major parties but they do not believe it can be done through the medium of individual state referendums such as those held in the last general elec- tion because of the different forms in which the question would be pre- sented, Senator Edge, Republican, New| dav.
