Bone Dry Bill Is
Passed By House
Vote Of Sc to A Says People
Shall Vote on Prohibition
Amendment
SENATE MAKES CHANGE
Senate VIII Act on Bill Today;
Radical Change Made
by Senate

By a vote of eighty-six to for
ty-four the House voted to sub
nit the Prohibition amendment
with the transportation clause
in the bill making it ''bone dry"
The first test vote on the bill
came when Mr.. Norton offered
the amendment to re-insert the
transportation clause. Previous
to this vote the vets had de-
manded ''bone dry" bill in pre-
ference to the moist" bill which
the temperance committee mad
first agreed upon but only No
wax of Ramsey and Neitzel of
Renville voted with the drys on
this amendment, which was adj
vocated by vote of eighty TO
forty-nine.
The vets, however, made their
real fight upon the beer"
amendment offered by Mr.. Nc
Grath of Ramsey. This amend
ment, if adopted, would permit
the sale of and manufacture of
beer and light wines and would
have nullified the bill. Speak
ing on this amendment Chris
Hanson of Dawson, who led the
fight for the drys, said: eff this
amendment should be adopted we
would be obliged to vote mo"
on this bin." After heated
debate the beer amendment was
finally defeated by a vote of rs
to So.
The vets then made fight
for an extension of the time
limit in which this bill was to
go into effect if O. KID by the
people but this amendment, too,
was voted down. Mr.. Girling's
final stand for the vets was
made when he offered his amend
,fnent to prohibit the possession
of liquor for personal use. This
amendment was characterized
by the dry leaders as a move to
make the amendment as obnox-
ious as possible to the people
and was voted down by a vote
Of 70 to 81. =
Tom Davis of Lyon county
was the only member who had
consistently voted with the drys
who voted for the personal use"
amendment.
On the final roll call eight
members who had voted for the
beer amendment boarded the
''band wagon" and voted with
the drys. These eight men were
as follows: Briggs, Devoid, Har.
rison, H. H., Miner, Neitzel, No
yak, Sudheimer and Warner. Of
this list only Warner, late can
didate for Speaker was a recog-
nized dry and his change of
heart is looked upon as a re-
buke to those drys who had re-
pudiated him in the speakership
contest.
Those who led the fight for
the drys were: Christianson, No
Ian, Norton, Pratt, Ryberg, Tom
Davis and Moen.
Those who led the fight for
the vets we're: Girling, McGrath,
Moeller and Lennon.
