The first of series of acts by which Governor Thomas E. Campbell hopes to relieve Adjutant General Charles W. Harris of all duties pertaining to that office took place Wednesday. All duties formerly resting on the adju- tant general in connection with the selective draft were transferred to Col. Fred s. Breen by the chief executive. Colonel Breen is now vested with all power tha mean be held by any state official regarding draft work in Ari- zona. This move is regarded as an i'm portant one in view of the fact that the adjutant general has had few other duties during the past few weeks oth- CT than the selective draft work. Ac- tivities of the office were reduced to a minimum when the First Arizona was taken into federal service, August 5.

struggle was promised. Both the
"wets" and "drys" were lined up for
the contest.
1t was strongly indicated that the

mise" providing only that distilla-
tion of foodstuffs for Intoxicating

adopted by big majority This pro-
posal is intended as a substitute for
the Gore amendment prohibiting man
ufacture of distilled beverages during

dent to suspend manufacture of malt,
fermented and vinous intoXicants.
The food bill was taken up in the
Senate under an agreement to begin
consideration of the prohibition
section at . o'clock this afternoon
with debate limited. The agreement
was reached only after threats of in
voking the new cloture rule.
Senator Chamberlain, in charge of
the bill. hopes to reach another agree
ment for a final vote on the bill itself
next Wednesday or Thursday. He
plans to resort to the cloture rule un-
less an understanding can be reached
