DRY FOE COUNSEL TAKES ISSUE WITH OPINION OF ROOT Says Conigries Powe Power to Enact War Prohibition Rests in WASHINGTON, Aug. 4—Wayne B. to| Wheeler, counsel for the anti-saloon | 26. league of Amefloa, took issue to-day with the opinion by Elihu Root, Will- jam D, Guthrie and William L. Mar- bury, counsel for the United States Brewers’ Association, that the pro- posed war prohibition enforcement act is unconstitutional. Mr. Wheeler also denied that the league forces intended to start an anti-tobacco campaign. “The authority of Congress to enact the war prohibition law,” Mv. Wheeler sald, “rests on the provisions in the; constitution which gives Congress power to support the army and navy. This power and obligation extends through demobilization, have so held.
