VETS Trying to Keep the Senate From Acting on
Anti-Saoon Measures

The liquor interests are afraid to let the Illinois
senate take action on the ant-saloon This
fact is shown by the license committee trying to keep
the bills from being reported out of that committee
Up until the present time although many efforts have
been made to get meeting of that committee, only
one meeting has been held and that one at time
when two of the dry members of said committee
were out on the good roads tour with the Governor,
the meeting being called the night before good
roads day This committee has refused to report the
bills out for consideration The time has passed when
the people of Illinois will stand for liquor domination

The License Committee
Senator Ettleson is chairman of the license COM
mttee. He called the committee to meet one week
earlier. At that time the eight dry members there
for the meeting, the wet members were also there
The maority of the committee is dry and would have
reported these bills before the senate, but the
chairman did not assemble the committee, permitting
it to be crowded off by the judiciary committee, which
was in session in the same room. The other commit
tee rooms were open. At this later time when two
absent the meeting was held, the first one
of the entire session. There eight dry
that committee and six vets and Senator Olson who
has been cassed as dry but voted with the wet in
terests. Chairman Ettleson is a wet and calls the
committee together only when he chooses.
In this meeting Ceary, Perver, Hill, Jewell
Landee and Woodward voted to report out the dry
bills, and let the senate vote them up down Mr.
Etteson, chairman together with John Broderick,
loonkeeper of Chicago, Patrick J. Carroll Al F. Cor
man and Francis A. Hurley of Chicago, with John
Daley of Peoria and A. ]. Olson of Woodstock vot-
ed to postpone consideration of the keep

1t will be noticed that all of these men, except
Senator Olson, from Chicago Peoria, two
cities that will not be materially affected by this legis
laton. The surprise of this meeting was the vote of
Senator Olson who is bound by definite promises to
favor all dry legislation AS the Daily News says this
is no time for to change from dry to wet.

without being able to arrive at the
conclusion that Galbreath had committed
any crime, and believing Il as muih my
duty to protect an innocent man as to

considerable sum, and the prosecution
" ould only serve the purpose of the gang

'On my part. l do not care to prosecute

In this connection Bishop Williams de-

Our ministries often lack effective force
