WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 (Copy- W¥t).—ts there any hope for beer and light wines? Did last week's election help the ‘wets’? or the “drys,"’ and when can the next move on either side be expected—and what will come of it? These questions have been asked a thousand times since the two national organizations fighting for and opposed to Prohibition began their serles of conflicting claims The truth hes between the two as usual, Each side can present con- vincing figures to show that Con- gress is still dry or will be wet as the caso may be. But when one finds each side claiming some of the same }, men as being wet and dry, and when the doubtful or non-voting group is examined, and when some of the assed, the nothing wavering ones are can conclusion is inescapable th: definite till the roll is called and i Mght the Prohibition issue will be de- ded in the next Congress by an op- Portunist bloc which will wait to see which way the cat jump: In other words, there a who will be tempted to switeh to the other side if the National Association Opposed to Prohibition, which is try- 1 the work of the Anti- can show that the wet next time The fight yeoome more inten- Aite nitting th Anti- Leargite coral years’ start, National nclation Opposed to Prohibition ally tting under way With State organizations, speak- ers and vote 5 Hieitors in that they can djust.as Ul Ant\-Saloon Lee done On the face of t turns, however, the for the drys than New Jersey.
