ment to popular vote was 122 to So. In
opposing a referendum, Representative
Underhill of Somervile took the stand
that the question would overshadsw all
other issues at the state election, and
would lead to the expenditure of large
sums of money. which might well be
conserved for other purposes.
Representative Henry Archin. jr., of
Lowell, one of the committee on federal
relations who favored submitting the mat
ter to the people, said the question was
not a war measure. The President, he
said, had sufficient authority to establish
prohibition, if he deemed it essential to
the winning of the war, and the gov
ernor likewise had power to proclaim pro
hibition in the state.
The galleries were crowded during the
debate, most of the spectators being
women.
