NATION WIDE DRY MEASURE
NOW UP TO THE STATES

The house of representatives Mon
day night, by a vote Of 2S2 to 1913,
adopted the resolution proposing an
amendment to the federal constitution
prohibiting liquor traffic in the nation.
By this act the last Legislative step
necessary for a submission of the
question to the states for their ratifi-
cation or rejection was virtually COM
pleted.
Following is the vote of the Wiscon-
sin delegation in the house:
--FOr Amendment.
Cooper. Browne.
Frear. LenrOot.
Esch. Nelson.
Against Amendment.
Cary. Stafford.
Voight. Davidson.
ClaSSOn
Leaders of the prohibition forces are
jubilantly claiming victory before the
state legislatures. William jennings
Bryan predicted the nation would be
dry in three years and the liquor ques-
ton would not figure in the national
election in 1920.
Twenty-eight states have prohibit
ton or have enacted laws making their
territory dry. If these states and eight
others adopt the proposed amendment
in the seven years allowed by the res
olution for state action the manufac-
ture, sale and importation of liquor in
the United States will be prohibited
The action of the last session of con-
gress in prohibiting the manufacture
of whiskey during the war and in pass
ing law making the District of Co
lumbia dry is regarded as an index of
the increasing sentiment in favor of
prohibition
