G4 SENATORS FACING - VOTING PROBLEM Others May Follow Lead of Jones and Walsh on Pro- hibition Question. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. / ‘ Shall a Senator lead or follow his constituency? Within the last 24 hours Senator Jones of Washington, Repub- lican, and Senator Walsh of Montana, Democrat, have announced that if the people of their respective States vote by referendum for repeal or modication of the eighteenth amendment they will obey the mandate. This is the most significant progress the prohibition issue has made as yet in the congressional campaign, which is already under way, and provides a con- venient strategy for all Republican or Democratic candidates who them- selves may be dry, but who face wet constituencies. Thus, for exam; Representative Ruth Hanna McC ick, Republican nominee for the United States Senate from Illinois, is personally dry and be- lieves in prohibition, but probably she will be inclined to accept the referen- dum method, arguing that prohibition is not a party question. The fact that Senator Jones, an outstanding dry, au- thor of the “five-and-ten” law, recorded himself publicly as being willing to abide by a referendum will give the other Republican drys much encourage- ment, though the leaders of the dry cause outside of Congress are somewhat uneasy over such tactics, believing it affords too much aid and comfort to the wet enemy. Face Complications. Elections, however, are only a few months off and some of these same dry Senators face all kinds of com- plications from three-cornered primary | in contests to battles with independent wets or Democratic wets in the final contest. ‘Whatever one may believe on the merits of prohibition, it has worked its way this year to an lssue of prime ;&ol.lflcll importance. The wets are jollowing the group idea and pushh.afi into various State campaigns with the actual and potential threatening they can do. Senator Walsh of Montana is up for re-election. He will have a Republican wet in opposition. Senator Jones saw @ Republican State convention take the ‘wet point of view. He thought it was not representative of the sentiment of his State. So he suggested that a ref- erendum could tell. He has remarked since that he is neither urging a ref- erendum nor changing his own point of view about prohibition. . Yet, it amounts to a challenge to his State to try referendum to determine the popul will, assuming, of course, that the m: nority who vote in elections really re- flect popular sentiment. Torn by Conflicting Desires. For a long time United States Sena- tors have been torn between conflicting desires—namely, s feeling that they should vote their own convictions or that they should follow the wishes of the people of their States. The tendency lately has been to subordinate persona conviction and leadership to the will of the State as ex¥mm in conventions or primaries. This is on: reason why 80 many congressmen, personally wet, have voted dry. This has attracted & good deal of attention but only this have iven of those who will remain - 5 dry but who mybeeumpfi:d to vote wet. (Copyright, 1930.)

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 30.—Predicting that “dollar books” may destroy the livelihood of 6,000 retail book dealers, 11 book publishing companies Wednes- day protested against “reckless price- slashing.” They said books cannot be published at the price “on a fair busi- ness basis.” ‘Their statement pointed out that the publishing industry in the country rep- resents a capital investment of $50,- 000,000, employs 25,000 persons and helps to support the allied paper, - g, cotton, electrotyping and k- binding industries. They said the “destruction” of 6,000 book dealers would “force the public in thousands of communities to do without the bookseller's wares and his guidance and to fall back upon the drug store, the cigar store, and even the grocery store for such literature as these places can afford to sell at cut prices.” The following firms joined in the statement: Cosmopolitan Book Corpo- ration, Dodd, Mead & Co.; Harcourt, Brace & Co.; Harper & Bros,, Alfred A. Knopf, Inc.; Little, Brown & Co; Horace Liveright, Inc.; Longmans Green & Co.; William Morrow & Co., G. P. Putnam’s Sons and Frederick A.
