VET0ES
ENFORCEMENT ACT
Overridden in the House by Vote
of 176 to So.
SENATE ACTION TO FOLLOW
Wilson in Message Declares Object OF
Legislation Is Served by DemobiIi-
cation of Army-SmaII Chance
for Wet "HoIiday."

Washington, Oct. 28.-The presi-
dent vetoed the prohibition enforce
ment bill. At 5:15 o'clock with the
time of adjournment near the presi-
dents veto message was read to the
house. Barely two hours later the
house in a hold-over session voted de-
cisively to override the veto.
The vote was 176 to 50 with two
members voting present. Action in
the senate will come later in the week.
There is no question but that it's vote
to override the veto will be equally
as decisive The presidents veto mes
sage follows:
ITO the House of Representatives
II am returning without my sigma
ture P. r. 6S10, AN act to prohibit
intoxicating beverages, and to regu-
late the manufacture, production, use
and sale of high-proof spirits for other
than beverage purposes, and to insure
an ample supply of alcohol and pro-
mote it's use in scientific research and
In the development of fuel, dye and
other lawful industries
"The subject matter treated in this
measure deals with two distinct phases
Of the prohibition legislation. One
part of the act under consideration
seeks to enforce wartime prohibition.
The other provides for the enforce
ment which was made necessary by
hn Of q
amendment. I object to and cannot
approve that part Of this legislation
with reference to wartime prohibi-
ton.
War Emergency Passed.
"It has to do with the enforcement
Of an act which was passed by rea-
son of the emergencies of, the war, and
whose objects have been satisfied with
the rehabilitation of the army and
navy and whose repeal have already
sought at the hands Of congress.
Where the purposes of particular leg
islation arising out Of war emergency
have been satisfied, sound public policy
makes clear the reason and necessity
for repeal.
1T will not be difficult for congress,
in considering this important matter,
to separate these two questions and
effectively to legislate regarding them,
making the proper distinction between
temporary causes which arose out Of
wartime emergencies and those like
the constitutional amendment of pro-
hibition, which is now part of the
fundamental law Of the country.
I'm all matters having to do with
the personal habits and customs OF
large numbers of our people, we must
be certain that the established proc
esses of legal change are followed.
In no other way can the salutary OBJ
ject sought to be accomplished be
made satisfactory and permanent.

For g. number of weeks the Nation al League of Women Workers, which organizes non-sectarian, seIf-govern- ing clubs for wage-earning girls, has been working in Connecticut toward the formation of q State League of girls clubs.
 There are already in Connecticut a dozen clubs of the National League. The largest of these is the Water bury Girls Club with over 400 mem bers. These girls meet in 9 splendid big club house where they enjoy classes, from cooking and dressrnak- ing to dancing and millinery, every evening in the week.

The State Leagues also employ a staff of secre- tarfes to start clubs in new communl- ties.
