|PLAN TO CELEBRATE
WHEN CITY GOESDRY
Program of Anti-Saloon
League Only Awaits Apoint-
ment of Committees.
TALK OF "BONE DRY" LAW

Until the committees which are tt
given under the auspices of temper
ance societies of the city when the
District goes dry November l have
been appointed it is improbable that
the details of the celebration will be
decided upon. Andrew Wilson. presi-
dent of the AntiSaloon League, hopes
to have the committees appointed with
/ IN the next few days.
1t is said the league will urge the
speakers at the celebration to dwell
upon questions of constructive ma
ture and not upon general denuncia-
ton of the liquor traffic. Albert T.
Shoemaker, counsel for the league anG
one of those who participated in the
hardest of the fights Tor many years
said he took it for granted that every
body, those who formerly were in the
liquor business and others, would re-
spect the dry law and assist in its en-
forcement. There no longer will be
any distinction between the people OF
the District. he said. in the matter OF
whether or not they are in the liquor
business.
ALI on Same Level.
With the law wiped off the statute
books. he said, all residents Of the city
should feel that they are on the same
level, so far as the liquor question is
concerned. and the work will be to
build up rather than tear down.
Relative to the question of the liquor
that may be brought into the District
and the manner of its bringing. Mr..
Shoemaker said il is his contention
that the Reed amendment or so-called
bone dry law. applies to the District
of Columbia That law provides
against intoxicating liquors being
transported in interstate commerce, eN-
cept for scientific, sacramental, medic
inal or mechanical purposes, into any
dry state or territory. the laws of
which prohibit the manufacture or sale
therein of intoxicating liquors for bev-
eraSe purposes.
1t has come to the notice of Mr..
Shoemaker and other officers of the
league that bibulous Washingtonians
expect to get their supplies from Bal
timore, the nearest wet city, after NO
vember /, but if counsels contention
about the application of the Reed
amendment is correct there may be
some severe disappointments. 1t is
stated that some persons have an idea
they will be able to bring liquor from
Baltimore in their automobiles and ac-
commodate their friends, but Mr.. Shoe
maker contends it will be impossible
for them to do so without violating
the law.

from thousands of spectators This

How Prohibition Was Won.

Miss Laura r. Church. assistant to
Edwin c. Dinwiddie. legislative super
intendent of the Anti-Saloon League OF
America, has prepared statement
showing that prohibition victories in
Congress were along non-partisan lines.
Her statement reads:
THE prohibition victories and ad
vanced temperance legislation of the
last several years have been achieved
through non partisan methods, and the
vote in Congress upon the various
Sixty-second Congress. which closed
the 4th of March. 1913. passed the
Jones-Works law for the District Of
Columbia, the Webb Kenyon interstate
liquor shipment law, as well as other
temperance measures of less outstand-
ing prominence. In. the Sixty-third
Congress a vote was had in the House
on the Hobson resolution for national
constitutional prohibition, and the
Sixty-fourth Congress, which closed
on March 4, 1917, passed the prohibition
law for the District of Columbia, the
Jones' Randall anti-liquor advertising
bill with the bone-dry provision. a pro-
hibition bill for Alaska and other meas
ures. An analysis Of the vote on these
various bills may be of interest as
showing its non-partisan character.
I'm the Sixty-second Congress the rec
| ord shows that the Jones-Works law
| finally passed the House without a rec
| ord vote, but record vote was had
upon the Burleson substitute. which
! was in favor of the liquor traffic and
was opposed by the friends of prohibi-
| ton. On this measure in the House 129
votes were cast for the Burleson amend
ment and Ill against 1t. OF those IA
lvoring the Burleson amendment, seven
ty-seven were democrats and fifty-two
Republicans; opposing, 100 were demo-
Gratis and seventy-one republicans.
