and executed the most fantastic steps

In this stand, they will be backed
by the force of Judge Anderson's in

the strike because the war period
officially does not come to an end
before the signing Of the peace

The operators may appeal to the

on the action that he took in rela-

In the meantime. ominous reports
of inactivity are coming from the

New Jersey elected Governor,

in New Jersey, which has never rat

apparently by referendum has can
celed the. State Legislatures ratifi-

If the Supreme Court rules that
all States having referendum laws
must vote on ratification, the num-

That would invalidate national

Wets, also claim the Secretary oil
State proclaimed national prohiol-
ton after the Ohio Legislature ratl-
fled, but before the thirty-seventh
State ratified; that the Ohio vote
therefore invalidates the proclama-
tion because at the time it was IS
sued, with Ohio crossed out, there
were only 50 ratifications.
This contention, if upheld would
postpone national prohibition until
