VETS LAUNCH
CARD Campaign
District Flooded with Re
quests for Beer and
Vine Referendum.

Washington appears to have been
selected as one of the war bases of
the "wets' in their hight against
national prohibition.
The National Anti-Dry Referen-
dunn League jumped into the lime
light yesterday through the circu-
lation of thousands of postcards de-
manding a referendum upon the
question of prohibition and predi-
eating their demands upon a beer
and light wine platform.
Announcements also were pub
lished yesterday that certain "dry"
members of Congress had fortified
themselves for the drought by the
Importation of sundry case goods
from Baltimore and surrounding
territory before the Reed amend
ment became effective in the Dis
trict. Senator John Sharp Williams
and Representative Frank Clark, of
Florida, prominent advocates of q
dry country were among the solons
listed as securing liquor by the affi-
davit route.
The league which is urging a refer
endum has its headquarters in the
Franklin National Bank Building and
F. E. Warren with w. w. Malone are
listed as directors Of the official organ
of'the association.
Since Washington is a voteless city
the campaign was connected by some
with the movement to secure suffrage,
but leaders of the latter cause dis
claimed any connection, even sympa-
thetic, with the new organization last
night.
The Anti-Salooh League forces ap-
pear TO be well satisfied with the situ-
alton in spite of all these activities
and are going ahead on the assump-
ton that the nation will climb on the
water wagon July l. and that the big
thing now is enforcement laws that
will keep it securely in the seat.
