The intention of the prohibitionists was so obviously to embarrass the President and use force in requiring him to do thelF bidding that it was then freely predicted that the House, in regular ses- sion. would undo the action of the House in committee.
 But when the battle was initiated the prohlbltionists were on the job. They accepted challenge for a roll call and won, IFS to 135. Many prohibitionists voted against the amendment because it was not germane to the purpose of the bill, and because it bore on it's face a threat to the President. Several em- ployed shrewd parliamentary tactics to include in the Record proceedings their reason for opposing the amendment which indicated the back home" pol iticians had wired directions.
