ProhiS Claim 10 Votes in Senate,
the Number Required

Little Rock. Jan. 2i. The
statewide prohibition bill intro
duced in the Senate last Wednes-
day by Senator White Of Pine
Bluff now awaiting final disposi-
ton is the absorbing topic in the
hotel lobbies tonight. Friends Of
the measure say it win be taken
from the Senate calender in the
early part of the coming week
and passed, while its opponents
claim it will never pass in its
present form or without an
amendment submitting the ques-
ton TO the voters Of the state at
the next general election. The
prohibstionists claim Is votes.
which is the exact number TO Sc
cure its passage. The necessary
two-thirds was lacking. however,
and the bill was left in the calen-
der. 1t was reliably stated to-
night that two senators, who vot-
ed to take up the bill, will offer
an amendment tomorrow to sub
NIT the measure to the voters of
the next general election. Those
two senators with the II known
to be against statewide prohibit
tion will be sufficient to pass the
bill as amended by one majority.
1t was also reliably reported to-
night that a submission bill will
be introduced tomorrow morning
and pressed to final passage. 1t
is practically assured tonight that
the prohibition question will be
settled one way or the other by
the Senate during the next week
or ten days. The senators are
determined to get rid of the con-
troversy, as it is proving to be a
great stumbling block to all other
kinds Of legislation, they say.
