until later in the week. Mr.. Nolsteao
agreed with Republican Leader Mondell
and Speaker Gillett to ask postponement
of the veto vote until Thursday.
Immediately after the reading OF the
message Mr.. Volstead made this motion
As he started to explain the reasons for
the day the prohlbitionists cried him
down with vote. vote"
Representative Walsh (Mass.) appar-
emily thinking that the vets could pre-
vent a two-thirds vote to override the
veto moved TO lay Mr.. Volsteads motion
on the table.
Mr.. Mondell urged postponement until
Thursday, saying that out OF fairness to
the many absent members action should
be delayed. He also urged careful
consideration of the Presidents reasons
for disappearing the bill.
Mr.. volstead then suddenly double
crossed Mr.. Mondell and asked permits
sion to withdraw his motion for post
ponement, the Information being that
the drys had a large majority. The
withdrawal requires unanimous consent
and the vets blocked the move. lmme-
diate consideration was ordered by
cabling Mr. Volsteads motion by a vote
of 1876 to IS. The anti-prohibltionists at
this point sought to adjourn, but this
was defeated and a roll call was ordered
on the question OF passing the bill over
the veto.
As the final vote was announced soon
after o'clock the prohibitionists Joined
in loud cheers The unexpected action
came with the galleries virtually empty,
only E. c. Dinwiddie of the Anti-Saloon
League and few others being present
sFt Drys' Plan in Reserve.
Should debate have been necessary on
the veto message the drys were planning
to urge the immediate enactment Of the
prohibition enforcement legislation on
the ground that 1t would be unwise to
let down the bars in any way now be-
cause of the strikes and riots threatened
throughout the country President VIII
sons action was criticised by the drys
for this reason.
The drys in the House are bitter at
the prohibition leaders 70: forcing strict
wartime prohibition on the country
without a separate vote on the wartime
question alone. Representative Igoe
(Mo.) pointed out that the drys when
the bill was considered originally by
ruling out amendments on points of
order prevented votes on direct re-
peal of the wartime law and the pro-
posal to allow the President TO rescind
the act at his discretion. Twenty-nne
Republicans and Twenty-six Democrats
voted with the President.
