Scott McBride, Superintendent of the Anti-Saleon League, and Mrs. Ella A. Bocle, National W. C. T. U. President (both left) are ameng dry strategists cpposing Pierre S. Du Pont, United Repeal Council Chairman, and Mrs. Charles S. Sabin, President of the Wemen's National Organization for Prohibition Referm (both right), and other anti-Prchibitionist tacticians in the approaching State struggles cver the questicn of repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. This is the last of two articles cencerning mational prohibition, facing new tests as the recult of cengressional (action submitting the question to the states. By F. B. COLTON WASHINGTOHN, March 14.—As the prohibition battle shifts from Capitol Hill to separate fronts in| 48 states, forces of attack and de- fense alike enter the fray with ex- pressed confidence of victory hub a healthy respect for the “enemy. “We do not concede a smg]n state,” says a spokesman for Association Against the tion Amendment: hot “If the slate conventions repre- sent the real opinion ol LhE pecple, | we are bound to win,” is the opin-| ion of an Anfi-Saloon league of- ficial. Both Sides Rush Plans As news was flashed from the capitol that the house had passed the resolution to submit the repeal! question to the states, plans for the separate fights in the states already were being laid in the red! brick headquarters of the Anti- Saloon league across the park. In nearby headquarters of the anti- prohibitionists meanwhile, there was taking shape a drive by which it is hoped to “jam through”|” approval of ine repeal resolution within a year. Prohibition defenses may be ex- pected to undergo their hardesty onslaught ‘on the eastern fron, where the Anti-Saloon league con~ siders wet sentiment strongest. In the south and west the drys count on their most reliable support. The anti-prohibition offensive probably will be concentrated in about 20 states that are considered supporters at present of the dry cause. Among these states the association against the prohibition amendment lists in the south, North and South Carolina, Ten- nessee, Arkansas, Alabama, Missis- sippi, Kentucky, Georgia and Vir- ginia; in the west, Kansas, Okla- homa, Iowa, Idaho, Utah and North and South Dakota; east, Vermant and Maine. “General Staff” Actlive The “general staff” of the drys is the national conference of or- ganizations supporting the Eight- eenth amendment. Chief among its memgers are the Anti-Saloon league, of which Dr. F. Scott Mc- Bride is superintendent, Dr. Er- nest H. Cherrington, director of education and Edward B. Dunford, general counsel; the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, Mrs. Ella A. Boole, president, and the ‘Women's National Committee for Law Enforcement, Mrs. Henry W. Peabody, president. Directing ; the fight for repeal Prohibi- } i will be the United Repeal Council, under chairmanship of Pierre 8. Dupont. Affiliated with it are the | Association Against the ' Prohibi- |tion Amendment, Jouett Shouse, | president; Women's Organization | for National Prohibition Reform, Mrs. Charles H. Sabin, national chairman; the American Hotel As- {sociation, The Crusaders, Veterans’ Repeal League, Inc, and Volun- tary Committee of Lawyers, Inc. The plan to have the question of repeel submitted to state conven- iions rather than to the 'legisia- . |tures is regarded by the Associa- Against the Prohibition i 'cause. The convention plan also is held ‘w be an advantage by the Anti- |Saloon league, at least in states \whow legislatures are wet, for this |plan, it holds, gives the drys an- other chance to seek and perhaps win dry support. Actions by some €s in the November 8 election, by which state dry laws werz re- | pealed or repeal of the Eighteenth |Amendment advocated, are not re- garded as necessanly significant by the Antii-Saloon league. The lca"ue _believes that such action in 'many ‘cases was taken as the re- Lsult of what it terms political pres- sure and “machine control” of the elections. The Association Against the Pro- hibition Amendment probaBly will concentrate its forces in the doubtful” states. {TELEGRAM FROM TROY {ASSURES SAFETY OF IBRITTS IN LONG BEACH In a cablegram received by Rob- ert Bender this morning from John W.
