The House vote was in excess of the required two - thirds majority. As it passed both the Sen- |ate, last week, and the House | today, the resolution required tFedeml protection of the Dry | States from liquor importa- | tions from Wet States. | Tt is the first time in the ' history of the Republic that an amendment to the Federal | Constitution has been resub- mitted to the States for re- consideration. The action of the House was a | reversal of its stand taken on De- cember 5, the first day of the | present session of Congress, when |the Garner resolution for outright |repeal was defeated by a narrow margin, 271 for and 144 against, falling just short of the required two-thirds majority. Last minute shifts by both Republicans and | Democrats, who voted against the | Garner bill last December, made today's victory possible for the wets, Goes to State Department The resolution now goes to the State Department which will notify the Governors of the several States of the action by Congress. The next step in the process of repeal is to bring the resolution before conventions in the several States. To provide the machinery neces- sary for calling the conventions, Hatton W. Sumners, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committes, announced the committee would | convene immediately to prepare a bill authorizing the calling of con- | ventions. | Greeted with Enthusiasm | The outcome of the House vote d a burst of approval by a lar part of the galleries while others remained quiet. Wet mem- bers on both sides of the aisle shouted, shook hands and beat each other on the backs. Majority Leader Rainey, who supported Speaker Garner’s fight last Decem- ber to put through a similar reso- lution, stood by his desk and beam- ed broadly.
