"Mr. Speaker, remarkable as it u.s.
some prohibitionists say thed are OPP
posed to this Reed amendment because
Il will make the States too dry, and a
number of States now dry in name, II
thew are made dry in fact, will again
vote in favor of liquor. do not sub
scribe to this proposition. On the con-
trary, l believe a number of citizens
in the respective States in past prohl-
bition elections have voted against pro-
hibition because they sincerely belleV-
ed it would not prohibit. If this amend
ment is passed, it will prohibit of it, to
in insure its enforcement, both the
laws of the State and United States.
This amendment will make dry States
dry and, in my judgment, the benehc-
ial effects of a 'bone-dry' State will be
so great that the pople will not for
one moment consider voting again IN
favor of barrooms, but the neighboring
States. seeing the splendid effects OF
the bone-dry law, will themselves go
dry. Mr.. Speaker / am frank to say
this is honest belief; but l am candid
enough to say if majority of the peo-
ple of a State desire to be wet under
our form of government they have a
right to control. AS have before stat
cd. we have 2-quart law in Georgia

hundreds of persons, mostly negroes
men and women-lined up to get their
monthly instaliment OF liquor. l desire
