the minds of the leaders that imme
ulate action was contemplated.
Some of the dry leaders suggested
that 1t might be wise to repeal the
wartime act, as the president sug
sested last spring, 50 far as it related
TO light wines and beers, mindful OF
the protest against suppression OF
these products. But If this plan was
discussed generally in the cloak rooms
II apparently did not gain favor. for
outside the members were gathering
for the fight
House in an UprOar.
The house was in an uproar when
| the presidents message was read.
| Members were standing in all parts of
! the chamber, many clamoring for rec
| ognltion, but Chairman Volstead, Of
the judiciary committee, which framed
the bill, was given the floor. AS GUS
todian of the measure he moved that
consideration of Ehe veto be deferred
+ until Thursday. What he was trying
! to say could not be heard, for there
was general hubub and members
! swarmed in front Of the speakers
stand exactly after the manner of an
excited crowd ut race track betting
ring, Finally shout that the house
was not in order helped quiet the sit

The wrangle started again when
Representative Walsh republican, of
Massachusetts, moved to table the
Nolstead motion Most of the members
did not seem to know what this meant,
but it was evident that Mr.. Walsh was
trying to force an immediate vote.
NionGell Is Recognized.
The hubub and the wrangle kept go
ing while Republican Leader Mondell,
demanding the right to be heard,
ahead OF fifty others who were trying
to catch the speakers eye finally got
the floor, told how the prohibition bill
affected the welfare of all the people,
Which made it necessary that the
house have everybody present when
voting time came. This plea was made
after Chairman Volstead had asked
unanimous consent to withdraw his
action.
There were many motions after that
and a number of roll calls until the
final vote was taken at O'clock
The galleries were deserted The
crowds that used to sit through weary
hours of prohibition debate had not!

wake, if 1t was that, was unattended. |
On the floor a handful of members
who had stood up againstthe dry pha- !
lanx edged in n word now and then, |
and tried to appeal for UNFOLDING of
the veto, but they were unable to
make themselves heard above the din. |
Bill Now Up to Senate.
AT the end not than GCOrn |

about its work with considerable glee |
but there was no heart in the feeble |
cheer that followed announcement OF |
the final vote
If the senate also overrides the veto
the country will so on one-half of

bill the senate gave it a five to one
majority and dry leaders predict the
next test would reveal similar
for their cause.
