Senator Bruce’s speech began with a discussion of the “failure” of prohi- bition in this country. He cited many cases of law violation and his remarks were in large part a supplement of the testimony given before the Senate prohibition investigation committee last Spring. He attacked the Anti-Saloon League, declaring that it has expended $35, 000,000 in its efforts to bring about the adoption of the national dry laws. “How trival does the stir that is now going on about the excessive use of money n recent senatorial pri- maries seem when compared Wwith the enormous sum that the Anti- Saloon League expended in bringing about the adoption of the Eighteenth amendment and the enactment of the | ce expended said Senator Volstead act, and h: in influencing elections, Bruce.
