sure TO pass If il is allowed to come
To a vote. But IL ii passes the senate,
il must be fought through the COM
mittee OF the house. and there. if
danger threatens, the opposition will
concentrate its efforts to beat the
measure.
This activity in the cause of pro-
hibition by two Republican senator's
from the northwest will rather take
the wind out OF the sails OF Mr.. Bryan.
who is seeking to make more political
capital for himself as an advocate OF
the dry" cause, and Mr.. Bryan is
somewhat handicapped because he
can do nothing but talk, while Sena-
tors Borah and Jones are in a posi-
ton either to force action, or to force
the opponents OF prohibition to block
their efforts by Legislative trickery.
Mr.. Bryan, like the two senator's, is
farsighted enough to see that national
prohibition is coming. but unfortu-
nately for him, he is not now in a
position where he can materially has
ten the day when the nation is going
dry.
