The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1919-10-28

President Wilson's mind may be, as
5 stated by Senator Moses, in a
hkened condition and he may be
ntally incapable of conducting the
hirs of the White House, but the
We he pulled off Monday was one
the shrewdest ever recorded and
the senate opponents of the treaty
league of nations up against it"
der than they have ever been.
President Wilson vetoed the prohi-
on enforcement bill passed by con-
SIS and announced that just as
IN as the senate ratifies the treaty
will issue a proclamation bring
to an immediate end wartime pro-
ition.
This is body blow to Senator
lnson, leader of the fight against
treaty and the league of nations.
bnson's state california; is the
attest wine producing state in the
ion. 1t is bitterly opposed to pro-
ition and is fighting it in the courts.
the treaty is ratified wartime pro-
. ition will end and California grape |
wers can manufacture and sell mil
hs of dollars worth of wine before
tstitutional prohibition goes into
bet on January J.. California, over
|elmingly opposed to prohibition and
Imorihg for the suspension of war
(e prohibition in time to permit

Pect of it's pet senator and candi-
|e for the presidency, keeping it's Ii
pr and grape growing interests
m reaping a rich reward. Johnson
st accept the treaty as it is and
ify it, or be condemned by his own
,ple at home. Surely hard pro-
;ition for California and its pres
ntial candidate.
he same thing confronts Lodge, in
lesser degree. Massachusetts,
lge's home state lis opposed to
rhine prohibition and there is no
Ibt that strong pressure will be
ught to bear upon Lodge to ratify
treaty and permit a wet SPELL
