Wets Won Election, But Prohibition Still is in Force. Towa has failed to put the liquor interests out of politics. An amend- ment to the state constitution pro- hibiting the manufacture ‘or sale of alcoholic drinks was defeated at the recent election by about a thousand votes. Yet lowa remains dry, as it has been almost two years, The explanation of this paradox is that the state is under statutory pro- hibition by virtue of an act of the legislature of 1915, which repealed a law providing for the existence of saloons, thus leaving in force the old prohibitory statute of 1884. The real question in the election was whether prohibition should be made permanent by a constitutional provision rather than be left to the whim of the legislature. In other words, if the amendment had carried, the legislature would have been with- out authority to permit the sale or manufacture of alcoholic beverages, while now the legislature may permit the state to become wet again by passing a law.
