Just as fast as one “liberal” amend- ment was offered by opponents of prohibition, it was yoted down, always by a triple vote, for the minority, fighting every inch of ground, de- manded a division after the ayes and nays were' called, and then asked for telies Before the house got through e first section of the first part of the three-part bill there was more order on time this session. The disturbance arose first during)feated it. an attempt by Representative Blan- ton, demograt, Texas, to speak a sec- ond time against an amendment which would have given a jury the right to define intoxicants. The real batile of the day. however, was over the ame edt to define an intoxicant as a beverage containing more than two and three quarters per cent aleohol, instead of more than one half of ome per cent as written in the bill. Representative Dver, republican Missouri, author of the amendment. did not ash for this definition in the constituf Tl prohibition amendment, but: simplyi in the war-time law. There Svas an hour of speech-mak- ing with the “wets” asserting that the motiom merely would permit the very 1aing the president, as commander- in-chief of the army had said was best for the country for the next six months. After two apd three quarters per cent beer had been bowled over by a record vote of 151 to 90—and this was about the relative decision on all amendménts—the prohibitionists- went after another amendment by Repres- entative “Igoe. democrat, of Missouri, which wpuld have stricken out all de- fnition of jntoxicants, killing the pro- w.to 83. (it seemed the majority was weary of yoting down every proposal by the other side, points of order were ! raised. and some motions designed to make the law less drastic were picked ‘up: by the nape of the neck. as_members expressed it, and bodily thrown out.

There were many references to President Wilson during the debate, and several speakers read that section of his message recommending repeal of the wartime law so far as it related to_light wines and beer. Representative Rainey, democrat. of Illinois, brought a volley of applause from the “wets”” when he expressed the | hope that the president would veto the enforcement bill because of its drastic provisions. The feeling between the factions got £0 bitter at times that the usual cour- tesy of permitting a member to revise and extend his remarks was denied. Prohibition members objected when Representative Reber, republican. of Pennsylvania, who had made a strong bates plea for beer, wanted to add some- thing he was deprived of saying in his limited allotment of time. ~Mr. Reber had intimated in his . speech that some members were not altogeth- er t 3-4 per cent. beer was concerned he had taken two drirks of it, hand running. and it had U0 mcre effcet than so. much water.
