VETS FEAR BOLSHEVISM



ALBANY, Jan. 21.-"Likker' made its
last big kick to-day in the Assembly
Chamber of the Capitol before the SEN
ate Taxation and the Assembly Judiciary
committees the members Of which gave
q hearing on the prohibition ratification
resolution preliminary to voting II out
for consideration by the Senate and As
scmbiy,
Before the hearing the vets received
their death blow when Senator George
F Thompson obtained the signatures or
twenty Republican Senators calling for
q caucus of the Senate Republicans
which will bind enough Of the wet Sena-
tors to put ratincat ton through the SEN
ate.
In the Assembly the ratification reso-
luton will be passed Thursday with
whoop. 50 votes already being pledged
for IT, while only 70 are necessary. Tho
Senate will act Tuesday of next week.
The hearing to-day. at which Sena-
cor Frederic NJ. Davenport, chairman OF
the Senate Taxation Committee. pre-
sided. developed into series OF threats
BY the vets as to what would be the out
come Of national prohibition-Bolshevis
and red flag waving being their chief
arguments-while the dry speakers main
tanned that Americans are too law abid-
ing to leave room for any fear OF the
threatened disorders following adoption
Of the prohibition amendment
Invasion OF Homes Feared.
Speakers for the liquor interests ex-
pressed the fear that laws to enforce the
prohibition act would be 80 strong that
homes would be invaded and searched
for liquor, so tonight. after meeting
OF the Anti Saloon League department
heads and district superintendents, Will
lam II. Anderson. the State supcrintend-
ent issued a statement TO set at rest
these fears, saying:
AS far as know there Is no DISPOSE
zion on the part OF the Ant-Saloon
League anywhere-certainly l have no
such intention--of endeavoring 70 inter-
fere with any person who has little
liqucr stored away in order to enable
him TO taper Off gracefully. so long as
he uses It only for his own personal
consumption or in the course Of extend
Ing ordinary hospitality TO bona noe
guests.
However, II will be necessary that
the law be sweeping enough TO mako It
possible to go after the man who is sell
ing lhuor or giving II away to evade
the prohibition against selling. but claims
he has 1t only for his own personal use.
1t is the inherent lawlessness OF the
liquor traffic and its brazen announce
mtnt that prohibition cannot be made
to prohibit which has made imperative
The necessity for. Legislation which will
reach every evasion and suoterfuge.
Even the existing law has search
warrant provision, but this has never
been abused. and 1t will be found that the
new law will not work any hardship
upon those who are not seeking to make
profit out Of a continuation OF a traffic
which Will be Illegal after 1t goes into
effect
