Senator Sprouts election to the Gov
ernorship iS hailed as victory for the
"drys"
He was pledged to the ratification Of
the national prohibition amendment, ana
his opponent. Municipal Judge Eugene
&. Bonniwell the Democratic nominee,
waged his campaign chiefly on the wet
issue.
The liquor interests delivered an on
slaught on Senator Sproul in the clos
ing days Of the campaign. The big vote
which they threatened 20 deliver to
the wet" candidate proved negative.
It Is believed the liquor interests con-
fined their efforts largely in behalf Of
the candidates for the State Senate and
House. The Legislature has full say on
the ratification or rejection OF the ma
tlonal prohibition amendment, no action
by the Governor being required
While the "wets" on the face of re-
turns received so far from over the
state claim n majority in the Senate. the
vote in the House between the vets"
and "drys" is conceded to be close
Five Republican members OF the State
Senate and forty-one Republican mem-
bers Of the House were elected in the
city.
Three of the successful candidates for
the Senate and fifteen for the House will
be new members.
OF the city delegation in the next Leg
islature the Ware forces claim six of the
eight Senators and thirty-two of the

Y. M. C. A. SWIMMING POOL
DRAWS BIG THRONG DAILY

Totals computed yesterday Of the
attendance at the swimming pool of
the Y. M. c. A. central branch, at 1876
G street northwest, show this pool to
be one of the most popular places in
the city for men in uniform. Men in
the service to the number of 16.347
used the pool last month, according
to Prof. c. Edward Beckett, physical
instructor. Last Saturday-not as
warm as yesterday, by any means
$50 men in the service used the pool,
and some Saturdays the number runs
as high as 1000 per day. The same
day 57s members used the pool.
The uniform of the United States
Army. Navy or Marine Corps is the
card of admission to the pool. The
only charge that Is made men in the
service is the service charge of 10
cents for towels and a locker. The
pool is under the supervision of the
District health department, and is
daily steriliZed. Swimming instruc-
tion is under the supervision of C.
Edward Beckett.
To show the degree of service which
the Y. M. C. A. renders, the following
story is told by L. Gordon Leech Of
in the hottest part of the day a major
in the United States Army came in
and asked him where he could get a
swim. He was directed to the pool,
free, of course. and later on took a
room at the central branch, saying it
was too hot to scurry around the City
trying TO get room at "a hotel.

but to erect herself into a sovereign
and Independent state in relation to
the new as well as to the old world" !"
This declaration was signed by Jose
Mariana Serrano as president and
