The meeting is interpreted by new napers as the answer of the wet ele- ment" to the challenge of Senator Rorah of Idaho and other dry leaders of the party who are working to have the Republicans insert a dry plank in their platform at the 1928 convén- tion. Discussion of ways and means of electing congressmen next vear op- posed to national prohibition and the start of a drive for funds to combat the war chest being sought by the Anti. on League are described as he major business of the meeting. The Times attributes to an un- fnamed member the statement that the first concern of the association against the prohibition amendment will be a drive for wet delegates to the Repub- lican national convention in S which afford a fighting chance. Plans are alrendy under way for this move, he sald, but their execution will prob- ably be determined by the prospect for funds opened up by the dinner. Mr. Butler asked for an expression as to what he thought the wets could accomplish at the next Republican natlonal convention, called attention to the election of a wet in California and defeat of the Anti-Saloon League in Ohio, saying they pointed to a change in sentiment which could not be_ignored. Newspapers said some Republican leaders had expressed themselves as believing a boom to return Wadsworth as Senator from New York would also be launched at the meeting. He was defeated by Judge Robert F. Wag- ner, wet Democrat, In the last elec- tion. He would oppose Senator Royal S. Copeland at the polls in 1928 if he decides to run again. ..
