NATIONAL PROHIBITION NAY
COME
Senate Passes Constitutional Amend
Ament.. -

Washington, Aug. IA resoiu-
ton for submission to the states of
prohibition amendment to the fed
eral constitution was adopted late to-
day by the senate. The vote was 6s
to 20, eight more than the necessary
two-thirds. As adopted, the resolu-
tion contains provision that the
states must be asked to ratify the
amendment within six years. The
house still must act on the resolu-
tion.
The proposed constitutional amend
ment is the first iniatiated by con-
gress since that providing for popu.
lar election of United States senat-
ors, approved in 1911. 1t is the first
time that either branch of congress
has approved constitutional amend
ment for prohibition. A few years
ago similar resolution in the house
received majority but failed Of two
thirds.
Prohibition leaders of the house
snow claim enough votes to insure
submission of an amendment to the
states. When the resolution can be
considered in the house is uncertain
but it's friends will seek early dis
cussion.
The senate's action today came af-
ter three days debate. All efforts
to amend the resolution failed, ex-
cept for the addition Of Senator
Harding's amendment fixing the six
years time limit, within which three
fourths of the states must ratify the
amendment to make it effective. This
was approved, Sc to 23
As adopted, the amendment which
was submitted by Senator Sheppard
of Texas, democrat, would add the
following to the federal const'tu-
ton:
"The manufacture, sale or trans
portation of Intoxicating liquors
within, the Importation thereof into,
or the expectation thereof from, the
United States, and all territory sub
iect to the jurisdiction thereof, for
beverage purposes, is hereby pro-
hibited.
This article shall be imperative
unless it shall have been ratified as
an amendment to the constitution BY
the legislatures of the several states
as provided in the constitution with
in six years from the date of the sub
mission hereof to the states by the
congress.
"The congress shall have power to
enforce this article by appropriate
legislation"
Although most of the debate on
the resolution has been perfunetory,
the usual scenes marking the end OF
warmly contested legislative fights
were re-enacted. Brief, spirited
speeches under a 1o-minute limit
were made to crowded galleries, with
the senate sweltering in one of the
hottest of summer days.
| On the final roll call several SEN
ators said to oppose prohibition vot-
ed for the resolution, desiring, they
said, to have the wet and dry battle
transferred from the national capital
to the states and to prevent prohiDi-
ton propaganda from impeding other
matters before congress.
