LOUISIANA MAY RATIFY
PROHIBITION AMENDMENT
Telegram to Anti-Saloon League
Expresses Belief State Will Ap-
prove Federal Measure.

A Telegram received this morning
at the headquarters in this city Of
the Anti-Saloon League of America
by E. c. Dinwiddie from Baton Rouge.
La. indicates that notwithstanding
the failure Of the state legislature,
through tie vote in the senate, to
ratify the federal prohibition amend
ment, there is ground for belief that
that state will ratify the amendment
this summer. The house the other
day adopted the ratifying resolution
70 to A. but the senate, with one
vacancy. failed to adopt on a tie
vote. 20 to 20. Mr.. Dinwiddie's tele-
gram received this morning states:
Governor issues call for special cleo
tion to NIL senate vacancy, and plans
are fully made which the governor,
Representatives Saunders, Turner,
myself and leaders in the senate and
house think will result in complete
victory within less than three
months"
The Louisiana legislature expires by
Limitation after sixty days session,
opening in May, and 1t would seem
from Mr.. Dinwiddie's dispatch that
the plan for q ratification by special
election possibly. includes the calling
of q special session in case the va
cancy is not filled before the expira-
tion Of the regular term.
Particular stress Is laid upon the
vote of Louisiana as that state il one
of the very few remaining wet"
states in the south. II it should ratify
the amendment one-third Of the nec-
essary thirty-six will have voted ap-
proval this year. those that have al
ready ratified being Mississippi, vir-
ginia, kentucky. South Carolina,
North Dakota, Maryland. Montana,
Texas. Delaware, South Dakota and
Massachusetts.
