Norwich bulletin., 1919-10-28


 Washington. Oct. 2z.-President Will son unexpectedly vetoed the prohibit tion enforcement bill today and within three hours the house had passed it over his veto by a vote of 176 to 55. The total vote was barely more than majority of the entire membership.
 Dry leaders in the senate immediate ly began laying plans to re-pass the bill there. They expect to ask unani- nous consent for it's consideration to- morrow, claiming enough votes to put 1t through. They expect to act on it by Wednesday at the latest.
 The president refused to sign the bill because it included the enforce ment of war time prohibition.
 The objects of wartime prohibition, the president said in his veto. had been satisfied and sound public pol icy makes clear the reason and nec- essity for it's repeal"
 It would not be difficult, the presi- dent held. for congress to deal sepa- rately with the two issues.
 The veto hit congress like a crack of lightning. The house. getting on it's feet again. deserted it's leaders. who wanter to defer consideration until Thursday so as to round up all the dry members. But the drys swept into the chamber and showed there was an overwhelmingly sentiment among them to give the government ample
 
 traffic, now outlawed throughout the land.
 Nobody had really professed to know that the president would veto the bill. Republicans and democrats alike and the countless multitude that had sorrowfully watched the pass ing of the bars-thought it would be- come a law without his signature.
 Attorney General Palmer, it was said. had declared it constitutional.
 v,fl, 1f 1an laxx hxyf fl1fa house and the prospect of the same thing happening in the senate; hope of the big wet spelP' that would run over the Christmas season vanished into thin air.
 Prohibition leaders tonight pre- dicted that the refusal of the house to accept the presidents veto meant that the sale of liquor would not be per- mitted again in the life of this and many other generations.
