A week's. conference between As. slstant Secretary of the Treasury An drews and 23 of his prohibition ad- ministrators closed yesterday with no radical changes in the present pro- hibition machine in. prospect. Perhaps the outstanding single fea- ture of the conference. which will result in putting into effect per- manently a policy tried out for some time, was the decision to install throughout the country zone super vigors wno shall have under their furisdiction a number of prohibition administrators This idea, however, had been tried out by Gen. Andrews for some time, #0 that it cannot be said to have de- veloped out of the week's conference, Already Tried Out.

There were unofficial reports during the week that Maryland and the Dis trict of Columbia might eventually be added 1o Coilector Dunning s zone. but it was officially statel that final deciston in this has not beer reached yet. en. Andrews and the prohibition administrators seemed gratified with the conferences of the week as having froned out several' matters about which administrators differed. Not only did Gen. Andrews lay down the program he desired carried out but there were numerous open discus sions when sugestions from adminis trators were heard, criticlsms were asked for and frank exchange of opin fon prevailed. This. however, all took place behind closed doors, and so close was the vigilance of all that if there wera any serious disagreements they were concealed More Co-operation Sought. Among_the various lines of policy 1aid down by Gen Andrews during the week. it is known that he called upon his administrators to elicit more effective co-operatio® from local law enforcement officials. Administrators e advised to be “teetotalers” as were all members of the dry force. ex cept the man who is forced to drink in_order to 1rake a “buy The prohibition machine, Gen. Andrews said. is now well oiled and ready to go ahead at full steam Several general conferences were held. interspersed by individual con ferences between Gen.

No prediction was forthcoming as to what may bhe expected in the way of imiproved results during the yvear. and there were no promises of any big drive in prospect. Gen. Andrews himeelf was more guarded about keep. ing secret than any important development in prohibition simce he took office a vear ago last Spring This was the first meeting of the prohibition administrators in a body.

Special Dispatch to The Star. SIOUX FALLS, S. Dak., September 25.—Three candidatgs are battling for the office of United States Senator in South Dakota, but according to the claims of the Republicans the fight is ony ded, as they expect to re-elect Peter Norbeck by a large plurality, hecause of the large normal Repub- lican vote in South Dakota. The Democrats’ candidate is C. J. Gundersén, an attorney of Vermillion. The Farmer-Lahorites are represented in the senatorial fight by Howard Platt of Langford. The hardest anti-Republican fight is being made by the Democratic candi- date, but as the Democratic vote in South Dakota is small, there are not many Democrats who believe their candldate will come within thousands of votes of victory. The Republicans also,are claiming the re-election of their three candi- dates for Congress, pointing out that each of the three congressional dis- tricts in the State has a heavy Re- publican majority. The Republican incumbents are Representatives C. A. Christopherson. Royai (. Johnson and William Williamson. The three have served many vears and have is clamied that fn this compaign Republicans of the three districta for their candi- es and that accordingly their re- ured full list of State a the voters o South November elec tion also will elect 20 circnit judges, for which there are 24 candidates. 1 the End <sz World's Lifetime.
