GEORGE (By Assoctated Press) WASHINGTON, June 6. : —tThe contest over repeal of the eighteenth amendment goes into the June campaign | with the score 8 to 0 in favor of the repealists and with eight more states com- ing up to bat this month. The outcome of the voting in two of these states, Indiana and’ Towa, has been termed “crucial” by both prohibition and anti- prohibition leaders, while some defenders of the have also looked to West Virginia to show a turn in a tide which so far has been running strong against national prohibition. June Well Filled The June schedule of repeal elections is as follows: Indiana, June 6; Massachusetts, June 13; Connecticut, New Hampshire and Iowa, June 20; California and West Virginia, June 27. The Indiana and Lowa _ battles’ have been viewed as “decisive” for the reason that the Hoosier and Hawkeye states were dry bul- warks for many years. prohibition showing in West Vir- ginia. Some repealists now see a pos- sibility of the eighteenth amend- ment being eliminated from the constitution before 1934 sets in.
