PRESIDENT WORRIES
 THE PROHIBITIONISTS

i Washington, May 2o.-tSpecial)--Th Presidents request today that Congress I abandon wartime prohibition, which would have been effective July l, because the necessity for same is now removed, has greatly distressed prohibition mem- bers of Congress.
 Quietly and not for publication, they admit that they are torn between their own personal desires, accentuated by a wish to respect the President, and fear of what the prohibition politicians back home' will have to say.
 It was predicted this afternoon that de- spite the prohibition majorities, the wishes of the President will be acceded to- For the members have the executive on which to rely for their excuses. A canvass of Alabama members of the delegation indicates that all would like to support the measure. that major ity will, and that a few are awaiting the flood of protests which they think certain to come. None of the dry mem- bers would be quoted.
 There is general criticism of the Presi- dent on the part of those who dislike the prospect of a general dry spell after July 1, and yet hesitate so to vote because he failed to exercise his author
 ity and do the drastic" work himself.

Wilson ReUeals Himself As Master Of Politics
Senator Bankhead Says Message Is as Smart Political Document Prediction Letter Was Foosh"-Pro-
 hibitioniss Worried by Presidents Attitude
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, May 2O.-(Speeial0 'sThe Presidents message today was as smart political document as his prediction letter last fall was fool ish'
 This was the laconic comment of Senator BaHkhead, and he intimated that possibly the separation between the President and Postmaster Gen. eral Burleson, his political adviser, was responsible.
 ''The President" he continued, took the wind out of the sails of the republicans. Very boldly he advo- cated policies on whieh the repubi- cans were preparing to make issues. He would return the railroads Janu- ary |, and telephone and telegraph wires as soon as possible. He would rescind July 1 proposition. He would conduct the government on peace rather than a war basis, with great sraouction in expenses.
