TIDE AGAINST
DRYS, SAYS VETS
Secretary Of Brewers ASSO-
CiatiOn Reviews Recent
Elections

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK, Nov. 17--Prohibition is
on the wane in this country, accord
ing to confidential circular sent to
the members Of the United States
Brewers Association. This statement,
compiled by Hugh f. Fox, secretary
of the association, reviews the results
Of the recent election and character
ICES them as sweeping victory for
the liberal minded
According TO Fox there was real
fight with the issue between wet and
dry sharply defined in Missouri, Flor
ida and Oregon, and the drys were
beaten. Summing up the contests ia
these States. Fox says for the benefit
of his members:
Missouri, the license forces have
carried the State. defeating Prohibi-
tion referendum by majority ex-
ceeding 100000 Leaving out the
cities, the "Prohibs" are still beaten.
Oregon-State wide prohibition is
defeated by a majority of 10000 and
the unit of local option law is chang
ed from county to city.
Florida-The prohibition to amend
the present local option feature Of the
constitution and insert statewide
prohibition forever feature was de-
feated by $500. A majority OF the
counties Of the State voted against the
amendment.
Summing up the result in the Ma
tional. Fox says:
Tt is evident that the so-called Pro
4 hibition tidal wave" has almost en-
tirely subsidized and there is little
likelihood of it regaining what it has
| lost or gaining new ground. Con.
currently il appears no less clear that
the people have decided on having
firm administration of just laws gov
erning the liquor traffic. The elec.
tions as a whole offer a remarkable
popular endorsement of the American
theory of home rule and the license
system. Naturally the change o
sentiment is most striking in th'
South, but North and Wst and Eas
the influence of reaction are equal,

AGAIN OPPOSE PROJECT

What is expected to lead to a revival
OF the project of erecting artificial dilSes
along the Delaware River in order TO
maintain the 30 foot channel came to
light in a report issued YESTERDAY by the
Philadelphia joint executive comm ttee
on Improvements of the Harbor of Phil
adel l,ha and the Delaware and SchuylSill
rivers in which the recommendation Of
Major Dealsyne, carrying out the original
plan OF diking, was urged, except that
IN the reports IL Is suggested that the
work be done as extensively as possible
without injuring the chances of naviga
tion of The Delaware creeks in the vi
cinity of the advocated improvements.
Delaware people will remember sew
eral years back when the plan was
started and considerable work accom-
plshed on the erection of the dixie from
Reedy Island to a point little below
the Appoqunimink Creek, on the Della
ware shore,
At that time Judge Gray and Anthony
Higgins. then United States Senators,
contested the further operations of the
Government so strongly on behalf of the
people of Delaware that the construction
work was suspended and has remained
unfinished until this day
Should the work again be started Il
win doubtlessly lead 20 another such
fight as the people Of this State declare
that such erections would ieoparuize th,
interests extensively in so much as the
few smaller creeks, flowing into the
/ Delaware along that stretch Of the shore
would be shut off from the river cur.
