According to an article in the St.
Paul Dispatch, Attorney General Greg
DRY has looked further into the matter
of the complaints against G. G. Dam
iels, and has concluded to continue the
special attorney in the Chippewa In
dian land cases. The article says:
; &C. G. Daniels, special attorney in
the Chippewa land cases, will hold his
Job for some time to come. This much
comes from an authoritative source in
Washington.
; AS the report has it, Attorney Gen.
eral Gregory has given the Complaints
fled against Mr.. Daniels his attention.
A few weeks ago it was reported
that he had decided to have an assist
ant attorney general make an investi-
cation. Now comes the statement
that the Attorney General has decided
i, that Mr.. Daniels was not altogether in
the wrong, and that it is best that he
remain in charge Of the land cases for
some months and possibly for years.
"Mr. Gregory is said to have con-
Guided that the persons who complain
ed against Daniels were not disinter-
ested, and that there was something
in the statements Of Daniels that lun-
Der and other big business interests
were seeking his removal"
On January l Arkansas, Colorado,

"wet'' states: Montana, New Jersey,
Nevada and Pennsylvania. Thus, by
the end of next year, nineteen states
Of the union will be dry territory, and
during that year seven states will vote
on the question: Vermont, Michigan,
South Dakota, Nebraska, Montana,
Florida and California, and the pres
poets are that most of these states will
60 prohibition, notably California
although that state is the largest wine
producer in the country. The vitality
important thing for the wet interests
is not that this or that state may or
may not 60 dry, but that every dry
state increases the number of con-
gressmen who will be willing to vote
for national prohibition, and even
though many states still remain wet
there is a serious possibility of an
amendment to the constitution provid-
ing for prohibition. Once let such an
amendment be submitted by congress
to the legislatures, national prohibition
would be only question of time, since
under the constitution an amendment
may be continually before the legisla-
lures until adopted, and a negative
vote delays, but does not kill the
amendment! It is therefore highly
possible that twithin the memory of
men now iving' the United States
may become completely dry.
