Two Candidates Lead in| JNES EXPLANS ORYVOTESTAND Senator Says He Is Willing For, but Not Urging, State Referendum. Declaring that some newspapers mis- interpreted the statement he issued yes- terday on prohibition, Senator Jones, Republican, of Washington, told the Senate today that he did not advocate a referendum on the question, but merely pointed out to those who are opposed to the law that his State has a provision under which they could seek & referendum. “I would not urge a referendum on the liquor question at all,” said Sena- tor Jones. “I am well satisfled with conditions.” The Senator said what he did was to suggest that those who opposed the law could call for a refer- endum. Senator Jones told the Senate that what he said was that if those opposed n | to prohibition would take advantage of the law providing for a referendum and if the people of his State should then vote to ask_ Congress to’ submit the question to the people, he would vote to submit the question. Senator . Jones said that his state- ment set forth the same attitude he has had on this question for years, and he emphasized that he was not advo- cating a change. He referred particu- larly to some of the headlines and said that while they may not be intended as misrepresentation, he believed they would have that effect. In the meantime, another prominent dry, Senator Walsh, Democrat, Mon- tana, sald today he would be willing to submit to the people of Montana a referendum on prohibition and he would “stand by the resuit.” e Montana Senator, who is up for re-election this year, said he would be “perfectly willing to submit to the peo- Montana a prohibition ref- erendum.” “'Of course,” he added, “I would stand by the vote in that referendum.” Senator Walsh sald he would lmrlfly his views later, but declined to make a formal statement now. Mon tana is one of the States where the oppcnents of prohibition have been most active, | Various proposals for prohibition ref- erenda and for repeal of the prohibition amendment have been presented from time to time in both Senate and House, but they either were smothered in com- mitte or overwhelmingly defeated. A number are pending now. Whether the position taken by Senators Jones and Walsh will stimulate efforts for :.’helr passage remained undisclosed to- ay. Russell Coming From Haiti.
