State Senate Votes Down Sub
mission Act by 20
TO IA.
HEATED DEBATE OF a HOURS
Both Platforms Had Declared
in Favor of The County
Unit.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 26.--Gov
SANKEY'S administration won a signal
victory yesterday when the senate,
by vote of 20 to IA, defeated the
Frost bill for the submission of a con-
stitutional amendment prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of intoxi-
eating liquors. The outcome was a
surprise to "dry" adherents, who
had been outgeneraled by the opposi-
ton.
Action upon the measure followed
a debate of more than four hours,
marked by bitterness and recrimina-
ton. Nearly every senator either
made speech or gave an eXplana-
ton of his vote, while some did both.
Ugly words volleyed across the cham
Der like machine gun fire on an Euro
pean battlefield.
Administration supporters denounc-
ed "dry" senator's as politicians, hyp-
ocrites, agitators and boilers. Dry
senators. in turn, accused the opposi-
ton of taking a stand which would
wreck the party and turn Kentucky
over to the republicans. They resent
ed with heat the charge that they
were ''bolting" the platform pledg-
ing the party to the county unit.
When the smoke of battle had lifted,
the roll call showed the following:
To Submit-Antle, Frost, Glenn,
EIiles, Huntsman, Montgomery, Peak,
Porter, Salmon, Sanders, Scott, Tay-
lor and Williams-l4.
Administrations, Bodies,
Brock, Clay, Combs, Helm, Hildreth,
Huffaker, Knight, Lewis, Leach, Lit
trell, Moore. Overstreet Raybroune,
Robertson, Speer, Stricklett Thomp-
son and Trigg-2O.
Those not voting: Ford, who is at
home, i'll; Senator Rogers and Sena-
tor Zimmerman.
The defeat of the measure, whose
prospects seemed rosy, may be at
tributed to the planks in both party
/ platforms indorsing the county unit
principle. This gave the administra-
ton a whip to swing over the heads
Of senators who placed party regular
ity ahead of their personal views on
the question. The result was that a
number Of supposedly dry sena-
tors, representing dry" constituent
cies, voted against the bill.
Senator Frost declared that Lieu
tenant Governor Black, Jealous pro.
hibitionist, saved the democratic tick,
ct from humiliatng defeat.
1T is to you and to you alone" he
averred, turning to the president OF
| the senate, that we owe democratic
I success last November, because il
was known from one end of the state
to the other that you stood for state
wide legislation Had you not beer
on that ticket the democratic party
would have gone down into defeat a
