Jefferson City.--Defeated by a vote
OF &c to 81 In the house Of representa-.
tlves. opponents Of the resolution to
submit to popular vote an amend.
ment proposing statewide prohibition
have turned their attention to the
state senate.
The resolution was reported to the
senate Thursday. II was read the
first time and referred to committee
to take the ordinary course.
In the upper body there Is a pro-
nounced sentiment In favor of a tax
rider to the prohibition amendment.
Senator McDavid, Democrat, OF
Greene county expressed the opinion
that the amendment probably would
go through the senate In that form,
thus neecssitating reconsideration OF
It by the house OF representatives.
Senator Humphreys thinks this
plan IL advisable.
"Give 1t to the people straight" said
the Shelby county senator.
A poll shows that the following sen
ators favor absolute submission, with.
