ALBANY, March 21,—Despite the big Issue of prohibition in the Senate yesterday the most important de- velopment in the debate was the | statement made by Republican Leader Elon Brown warn- ing the members that the larger cities would no longer stand for “little up-State dis- trict domination.

He also warned the Le! lature that “the people may rise up in| th at the present system of repre- | sentation, if the up-State small dis- tricts are able to control in such a matter as this.” The speeches made in the Senate clearly indicated the growing serious- |1.e8s of the meaning of representation jas viewed by the powers that be, William H.

This provides for a prohibition amend- ment to the State Constitution, with a reforendum to the people after the next Legislature has passed upon it. It is believed that the referendum on the Federal amendment will also be passed in order to make the ‘all election safe for the Republicans, who do not wish to be charged with having balked the prohibitionists and prefer to stick to the plan of letting the people decide. At the same time this would again pass the buck to the Governor and make him as well as the Legislature face the issue, The State Constitution amendment would let him out of It in the fall election, since another Legislature must + 1 01 It before it goes to the voters for decision. “PROHIBITION BY AMENOMENT” STIRS SAGE'S IRE.

He said if such matters as this could be settled by constitutional amend- ment it might be possible to amend the constitution as to whether a boy could go in swimming in the morning. He pointed out as Chairman of Finance how the excise tax was one of the means of revenue to the State and that Its value should not be lost to sight, He ridiculed the idea that this was @ war measure and that it would hardly come into effect until after the war was ove Anti-Liqaor Clab Hi Over Sweet William H. Anderson, State Supor- intendent of the Anti-Saloon League, said to-day: “Ratification is now squarely up to Speaker Sweet. If evidence and logic count for anything, he helped put over one of tho cleverest and wicked- est hoaxes ever perpetrated on the public. “It the Speaker will quit playing polities he can now put ratification over, with the help of what the Gov- ernor has done. If any politics is left in the situation respecting the Prohibition issue it is because the Speaker keeps it there. The anti- saloon forces hold the ‘Speaker re- sponsible now for the actual passage of ratification, without the referen- dum, in the Assembly.” Tenth State t ral Amendment, PIERRE, 8.
