POLLINNEW YORK ONRUMHELD VAN Drys Discredit Idea Few! States Can Change Trend | by Voting on Drinking. ‘ BY ROBERT T. SMALL. [ NEW YORK, August 18.—The dry | slements of New York State are be-| ginning for the first time to show a; little interest In the wet and refer-| endum which is to be voted at the polls in November. For a time it| seemed the referendum was to be ig- nored by the prohibitionists. Then the h wets began to say they would roit up | Bids Grandmother and Other Rela- <uch a wet majority that “the whole world” would take notice of the “pro- test.” Perhaps the drys have felt at last they cannot afford to let the refer- | endum go entirely by default. | The very potent argument is being | brought forward by the drys that the 1alk of turning this country wet again. even to the extent of permitting the ®ale of beer and light wines, is “the bunk,” as Gov. Al Smith himself would say—on another question. The drys will try to convince New Yorkers that they are in a small minority, so far as the country is concerned, and that liquor with them is purely a lo- ca) issue. The idea that a few wet States can overthrow the natural dry sentiment of the country as & whole. the prohibitionists say, is entirely fantastic. New York City newspapers are nearly all wet In their sentiments and convictions. The New York Sun, how ever, recently sent an observing corre- ‘spondent out over the country. He eovered 20 of the larger States which would have to he depended upon to eway a national referendum on prohi ®bition. This correspondent, starting | from @ wet community and with a wet clientele to read his dispatches, has coms back to the metropolis convinced that the real sentiment of America is dry. People Prefer Present. His experience is no different from that of other observers. It makes no Aifference how much you argue ahout corruption in the Government serv- ice and of the evils of the system of bootlegaing which has spread from coast to coast. the answer 'always ia the same. The people as a whole prefer conditions as they are, rather than to risk a return to the “good old whisky davs.” The drys are going to try to con- vince the voters of New York that certain smart politicians are merely trying to fool them by talk of wiping out the eighteenth amendment or of materially changing the Volstead act Tt is easy to figure that the so-called wet status of the East, like New York. New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maryland. Rhode Island and one or two others, cannot influence a na- tional result, no matter how wet they are. Figures which show an increase in drunkenness in most of the large cities since prohibition apparently are given no consideration. Charges of hypocrisy likewise are cast aside. The country apparently has be- come accustomed to the present system of dryness, with sufficient bootlegging to supply the wet ele- ment—at a price. The system {s lkely to continue indefinitely. An- nouncement has come from Wash- ington of a big drive to begin in September against the (illicit flow of rum. The country has become accustomed to the big drives, too, and merely smiles. The drives have been in progress annually, semi- annually and quarterly for several years now, and the man who wants his llquor and has the price generally seems to get it Industry Has The great strengih of the drys rests with the indus leaders “of the United States. The heads of the great eorporations are in favor of prohib tion—even in the present state of lax_enforcement Conditions in the great industrial lants unquestionably have improved. f the laborers are drinking they are Arinking at home. 1If a svstem of home drinking had been devised be fore national prohibition was voted into the Constitution things might have been different today. But the wets stuck to the saloon in the old Aave and when the saloon went the legitimate liquor hetween the eves The writer recently visited some of | the largest industrial plants of the | Middle West. In each he heard the management sing the praises of pro- | hibition. The story was the same | ~rerywhere.
