NATION DRINKS MORE WHISKEY
Prohibition Cause Falters, Says Head
Of Liquor Association.

Philadelphia. May li.-One OF the ques-
tons considered at the seventeenth annual
convention Of the National Wholesale
Liquor Dealers Association. which began
I'm this city to-day, was the attitude of the
members regarding the Webb Kenyon bill.
now pending In Congress. The bill would
prohibit the transportation between the
states OF alcohol or spirituous liquors In
tended for sale In dry" territory.
The association has received commune
cation from n druggists national organl-
cation. urging that efforts be made to
defeat the measure.
Charles Dennehy president of The associ-
alton. told the delegates that the trend Of
public sentiment is away from prohibition
He said:
la the past year the area OF statewide
prohibition has been largely diminished.
The area OF territory under county option
has also been greatly curtaled. There are
to-day more wet municipalities than
there were a year ago. In spite OF the
tremendous ClamOr of our gssailants, there
has been TO diminution In the output Of
ardent spirits. There was more whiskey
consumed IN 1910 than in 1903. ana more
consumed ia 1911 than i'm 1910 Therefore,
the boast ~ the Anti-Saloon League and
the prohibitlOnists that they have accom-
plshed anything for true prohibition IS
shown to be fallGcy.

I. being n taxpayer Of the city OF New

attention, etc.
