FIGHT To A FINISH
WITH PROHIBITION
ON IN LEGISLATURE

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 6.-That there
will be absolutely no compromise with
the opponents of prohibition is assert
ed by number of prohibition mem
bers of the legislature who have been
in Atlanta during the last few days.
Several stories have been published,
notably in the city newspapers, to the
effect that those who oppose the more
drastic prohibition bills which is on
ly polite designation for the anti.
prohibitionists, plan to form coal
tiles with the conservative prohibition
ists," etc.
These reports. say Representative
NJ. ]. Yoemans of Terrell; Repre-
sentative w. H. Aver, of Bib; Repre-
sentative H. w. Hopkins, of Thomas,
and others, are undoubtedly correct so
far as the desires and plans of the
-prohibitionists are concerned. but
no compromise would be considered
for moment by the prohibition forces.
"The fact that the ants are talking
compromise shows that they are beat

given up all hope, except the posi-
bility of salvaging some remnants Of

alive Yoemans, of Terrell, who has
been in Atlanta.
The movement to reorganize lhe
rules of the house is evidently gaininG
strong Roadway. The above-named
members predict that the rules will be
re-organized at the outset of the ex-
ira session. The plan of reorganiza-
ton is for the house to elect its own
standing committees, including the
powerful rules committee, and for tie
house to strip the committees of ar
bitrary powers they now exercise in
preventing consideration of bills. Tie
plan is substantially identical with the
reorganization of the national house
at Washington by the remocratic ma
jority at the outset of the Wilson ad.
ministration.
