1t had been expected that her three sen
ators, KINDER, Grant and Nejdl, would
vote against the bill. But shortly be-
fore the final action was taken it was
argued by some that the sentiment in
Lake county was perhaps two-thirds
wet and one-third dry, and it was there
fore decided that Kinder and Nejdl
should vote against the bill and that
Grant. who. it was said. really wished
to vote dry. should vote for the bill.
And they split that way
AS was predicted in these dispatches
several days ago. the vote was land
slide. Their are eleven members of the
senate. Bird. Erskine. Hazen Hlrsch,
Kolsem. Thorton and VanAuken. Demo
Gratis. and Kinder. Nejdl, Reser and
Wolfson Republicans. who are unalter-
ably and uncompromisingly wet. and it
was known that they would vote against
the bill under all circumstance But it
was believed that. since it was known
that the drys would have enough votes
to pass the bill, all Of the other sena-
tors would vote fer it. 1t would be a
ease of getting on the band wagon That
was evident. Therefore il was estimat-
ed that the DILL would have less than
than thirty-seven votes. with a posi-
hility Of thirty-eight And it got thtr-
ty-eight votes.
While the excitement or the prohibi-
tion fight was still on an attempt was
made in the senate late yesterday after
noon to suspend the rules and pass the
woman suffrage bill Senator Maston.
Of Whitley and Huntington counties,
moved to suspend the rules and vote ON
the bill. but after long and heated dc
bate he withdrew the motion because
he found he could not get the thirty
four votes necessary to suspend the
rules. The bill is now before the senate
however. and may be called up on Mon

islation- But now various members OF
the lobby and many persons interest
ed In the liquor business are openly
charging that the liquor campaign was
poorly managed and that somebody
bunsled ON the Job. II is 3ald that a
serious split occurred between fac
lions Of the liquor lobby. and that
they worked at cross purposes. Each
faction insisted on conducting the
fight along its own lines. The result
was that the work OF the lobby lost its
effectiveness and it lost the fight.
There is another feature to the DO
litlcal side of the question that is al
ready attracting attention. Ii Is that

leader of the democratic party in In

lobby that fought for the defeat OF
the prohibition BILL and almost UP
TO the very minute when the senate
took the final vote on the bill nearly
all Of the democratic members were
following him. He was on the road
to party leadership and had just about
arrived. because Thomas Taggart. who
has been the head OF the party In this
state for so many years. was taking
no hand tn the prohibition fight
Fleming leadership was recognized
ali the way down the line, but is diff
ferent today
Fleming lost the fight When the
prohibition law becomes effective sa-
looms and the rest OF the liquor bust
ness will be goner. and the elements
that Fleming has led in the past and
which held control Of the democratic
party for years wiz be helpless. This

Persons who have followed the
course Of developments in the anti

for the last ten or more years declare
that the saloon and brewery people
brought prohibition on themselves
They point out that saloons through
out the state refused to obey the laws.
No law could hold them. and their In
clinatiou to violate the laws became
notorious.
Breweries went into politics TO con-
troll public officials and to protect the
liquor business from law enforcement
All OF this aroused public sentiment
more and more each year, until finally
the people would not stand for IL any
longer. and it is said that this is the
real reason why the prohibition bill
was passed These people say that if

had respected the law and had sought
to keep the liquor business on a decent
level the people would never have made

petitioners, and returned to him. If it
appears that responsible and represen-
tative men and women are back of the
organize a chapter.
The next step is a meeting of the
group, already organized into a COM
mittee on organization, together with
few other of the strongest men and
women of the community, but not a
public mass meeting. At this meeting
a board of trustees of from IL to SO
is usually elected, one-third to hold
Office one year, one-third two years,
and one-third three years. This board
then elects central committee of ten
members, the central committee
chooses the chapter chairman, and the
chairman with the aid of the central
committee names the principal COM
mittees.
1t has been found best to elect an ex-
perienced business man and capable
executive as chairman. In only few
instances have women been chosen
The secretary must be familiar with
the work of keeping records, and car
rying on businesslike correspondence
with men whose every minute is valu-
able. The treasurer is usually the
president of strong bank. Chairman,
secretary and treasurer are usually ex
officio members of the executive COM
mittee.
When the chapter has been fully or
ganized, a certificate of organization
and election, made out on blanks which
will have been furnished, will be sent
to the division director. If he finds it
regular, he will forward it to the Di-
rector of Chapters, at Washington. 1t
will be taken by him before the central
committee, and a formal recognition
of the new chapter will be granted
From that moment the chapter is the
official representative of the American
Red Cross in the territory over which
it has jurisdiction.
The name of the chapter is usually
that of the town in which it is formed.
The name must be geographical, and
the territory over which the. chapter
wishes jurisdiction must be clearly set
forth in the petition, and will be as
clearly defined in the authority to Or
ganize, and in the formal recognition
by the central committee.
