THE VOICE OF
THE PEOPLE
''Wets" to Blame for Delay of
Food Bill-Idlers in
Squares
"WETS" ARE TO BLAME

To the Editor Of the EUentng Ledger.
sir-In your issue of July IA there sp-
pears an article by Hon. J. Hampton Moore.
This article, and the headlines given to it,
accuse the prohibitionsts of attempting to
hold up war legislation till their demands
are granted"
The food control bill was not delayed in
the House by the prohibition section. II is
true that the debate occasioned by II lasted
seven hours but the bill was passed before
the session adjourned and it reached the
Senate in time for the opening of the next
legislative day, at exactly the same moment
il would have reached it If there had been
no debate
The "wets" Immediately started a cam
paign of obstruction and delay in opposition
to the bill Within two days of its passage
in the House, one of which was Sunday,
Arthur Brisbane, who for many years has
been one of the chief defenders and eulo-
gizers Of beer and breweries, rushed to
Washington paid premium price TO Frank
Munsey for the Washington Times, came
out with a big double-column black-faced
editorial and played a front page spread"
against the bill.
The bill was promptly reported in the
Senate and an attempt was made to provide
for a vote on the whole bill on Friday, the
29th Every dry" Senator present favored
the proposition, and every objection made
in the interests Of delay came from the
''wets"
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,, and
Senator Penrose, Of our own State, both
tanatical opponents Of prohibition and
"time-tried fire-tested" friends of the liuuor
interests Immediately began obstructive
work and, as one report has IT, told Presi-
dent Wilson they would stay here until
hell freezes over" before they would allow
the food control bill 20 pass with the pro-
hibition section.
Realizing the folly OF appealing TO the
patriotism of the VETS" President Wilson
wrote to the leaders OF the An;.-Saloon
League, appealing to their patriotism and
asking them to consent to certain modifca-
tions OF the prohibition section in order TO
expedite the passage Of the bill Their
answer came by return mail and, notwith-
standing the fact that the bill had passed
the House by an almost unanimous vote,
365 TO s, and the further fact that they were
assured of ultimate victory II they held out
they expressed a willingness to comply with
the Presidents desire. and promised for
their constituency TO place no obstacles in
the way Of the prompt passage Of the food
control bill
Every obstructive movement to the pass
age Of the bill originated with the "wets"
and other dissatisfied. so-called, big business
interests.
Mr.. Moore mentions the loss OF revenue
which viii result from prohibition and
writes: "All in official life know that pro-
hibition means more taxes" Many men in
oficial life are prohibitionists In fact, Il is
probable that majority Of the officiaIs in
this country now favor prohibition. This
would not he true lf,the statement ,uoted
was correct
