Three distinct battles were fought.

Lower House Not to Act on Bill Unit
REGULAR Session Next December,
and Prohibition Leaders Believe
Delay Will Help Their
Cause.

Washington, Aug. 4.--National pro-
hibition by constitutional amendment
has hung up in the House by the Pro
hibition leaders themselves.
The resolution to submit the pro-
posal to the states passed by the Sen
ate was put out of the program for
the present session and will not come
up until the regular session in Decem'
Der. Plans to reccnvene the Demo
cratic caucus and reverse it's decision
to consider only war legislation were
abandoned because it was believed de-
laying action until the next session
would help the prohibition cause.
Representative Randall of Califor-
nia the only Prohibition member of
Congress, issued a statement declar-
ing that the friends Of national pro-
hibition have been flint damned by the
liquor lobby in the constitutional
amendment adopted" He added that
"a great jollification" was held by
liquor representatives in a Washing
ton hotel and that a well-defined ru-
NOR had sprung up that the six-year
clause added on Senator Hardings mo-
ton was really written by the brew
ers' attorneys.
Sees Joker in New Clause.
'The joker is not in the six-year
handicap ITSELF" said Mr.. Randall:
Though that is without single prece-
dent in history. The Harding clause
provides that this article shall be in
operative unless ratified within six
years. The impression is that the pro-
hibition amendment would not become
part of the Constitution unless so
ratified. The fact is it will become a
part of the Constitution if ratified
after the time limit, but will be mop
erative. This promises long years of
litigation. The whole campaign to Sc
cure ratification by the state will be
clouded by this uncertain language.
"The duty of the House of Repre-
sentatives is clear. Throw out the
Harding clause entirely"

Washington, Aug. 2.-The rainy

Great Supply.
