Dry Leader Tries
TOForce Caucus
On Ratification
Members of Assembly Asked
to Go on Record to Pre-
vent 'SWhipsaw,'' Feared
by Anti-Saloon League

William ii. Anderson, State Superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League, is ap-
plying what he calls the "acid test" to
all of the members of the Legislature
by means of a questionnaire designed,
II the recipient answers all the ques-
tions in the affirmative. to put him on
record in so unequlvocal a manner that
there can be no doubt concerning his
attitude toward the Federal dry amend
ment, up for ratification this winter at
Albany.
What is considered by the Anti Sa-
loon League people to be the "acid
test" question is this:
"Will you sign cali for a joint
caucus to consider making a party
measure of ratification, of the Repub-
llcan members Of both the Senate and
Assembly,, to be held either before or
just after the coming regular session
begins ?"
The other three questions are de-
signed to support the main one.
Anderson Sees 'Trick"
Certain wet Republicans who have
publican party to Tammany to serve
the brewers and their own particular
ends are now working on, if they have
not already agreed upon it, deal by
which they expect to defeat ratification.
But they cannot deliver the goods
without help from some of the men
in both houses who are committed to
prohibition" Mr.. Anderson says.
"The game that is now being framed
up is for the Assembly, which must
go back to the people next year, to
and give everybody who wants it a
good record, and for the Senate to
block it, since the Senators hold for
two years, and then they will be given
chance to get good record in 1920.
This is the familiar ancient finn fam
known as the 'whip-saw.' The failure
in the Senate is to be rrought about
by the organization and manipulation
of that body, and is to be by only a
vote or two. Some Assembly leaders
are lin on it, One of them was in New
York recently inquiring whether it was
certain that it could be stopped in the
Senate if it went through the As
sembly. But this deal can be defeated
provided there is a joint caucus of the
Republican members of both houses
and ratification is adopted as an abb
solute party matter covering both
houses"
Five Senator'S Approve
Mr.. Anderson reports that thus far
he has received Eyes" and "satisfac-
tory" answers from the following
Senator's: NJ. Y. Ferris, Frederick M
Davenport, F. B. Pitcher, S. Lowman
and George F. Thompson. His reply
from Clayton r. Lusk of Cortland is
classified as "fair." C. j. Hewitt's
answer is ain effect no."
From the Assembly affirmative
answers have been received from L.
Ford Hager, H. L. Ames, John j. Rich

Woodrow Wilson indicated

\ we look back over the events OF the
1 past four years wo thrown into
strong relief the wisdom, craftsmanship and
wise forethought OF Woodrow Wilson Many
people believed the United States should
enter the conflict in its carly stages Many
were impatient OF "watchfu waiting" Some
believed that the President was too much
given to underwriting and that Il show of
force would be more potent than any num-
Der of diplomatic phrases. Yet the end has
justified Mr. Wilson'S caution and delibera-
ton and has shown that he was leader
looking far into the future with prophetic
instinct.
In the first years OF war there was much
diversity of opinion among the American
people. For a long time many considered
the wal as something peculiarly European
thing in which America had no part A
great European conflict had been expected
Tor decades, for what else did the great arma-
ments indicate? Publicists wrote concern
ing 1T and Chancellors talked it over with the
iofds or the exchequer. But in all there
was no hint that America ever would be con-
cerned in it. Its traditional policy Of isola-
hon was opposed to the bare suggestion of
shch thing. When the Kaiser let loose
the lurles 1T was customary for newspapers,
"hlch afterwards saw the light, to print edi-
torlals the tenor Of which were that we were
civilized people as compared with the bar
parous Europeans who were Strengthening
each other Public opinion had not crys-
lailized, and the President realized it. He
waited. When the time was ripe he led his
people along the narrow. stony path which,
though stained with blood, carried us to the
vista Of a glorious future
When we entered the war the President
declared that our quarrel was with the i'm
perlal German government with it's attend
ant Junker caste and military cabal He
announced to the world that we had not de-
cared war against the people of Germany.
MT. Wilson'S critics declared this n distinc-
ton without difference The declaration
was commented as academic as being but

events to-day in Germany show the prophetic
vision OF the President Revolution has
olunted the resistance to the sword of Foch

trappings have been eliminated from the
equipment of the German people The Pres
ident was wise when he appealed to the
rank and file Of Germans. He realized that

struction they would be Blinded no longer
