DRYS STILL AHEAD.
The Recent State Primary Puts Them
Ahead in The Legislature, Both
House and Senate.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 5, 1916
Although both candidates for Gov
ernor indorsed by the anti-saloon
league in the Republican and Demo-
cratic primaries were defeated at
the polls Tuesday, the drys of Mis-
souri, will have an assured majority
in the next Legislature, no matter
which party carries the state next
November.
AS a result of Tuesdays primaries,
the drys claim to have increased
their majority in the House of Rep
resentatives. Last season they had
90 members who voted dry on every
thing. The coming season, no mat
ter which party wins. the drys figure
on at least 100 members, possibly
one or two more.
The Senate, which is the battle
ground of the vets and drys, and
has always been the brewery bulwark
against the overwhelming dry senti-
ment of the House, apparently will be
really dry for the first time.
The claim is now made that 10 of
the "a members of the Senate will be
dry, no matter which party carries
the state.
