WET DEMOCRATS
ARE HUNT INC FOR
WET CANDIDATE.
Think This Only Hope to Get
MiIder Liquor Laws
MIGHT TAKE UNDERWOOD
Do Not Want Radically Wet candi-
date But One They Could Trust
to Be Liberal
wash ngton, Feb. 17.--AntI.prohi

Wash ngton, Feb. 17.--Anti-prohi.
b tion elements all over the country
are uniting in their efforts to obtain a
liberia Democratic nominee for the
Pres dency at the San Francisco con-
vention. In almost every state, ac-
cording to Information received by
Adm.n.st alton pol ticians, the issue is
lean cut. The wet elements OF the
party are said to be confident that
this is their chance to obtain relaxa-
t on OF the strict liquor laws.
Particularly is this true In the
Southern states. Prohibition there
seems to be an ssue far greater than
any other. according to information
repo ted to Washington. The same is
true OF the East, where the wet ele-
msnts are pinning their faith in the
Democratic liberals who may get into
the contest.
Inc dentally the wet drive has
brought into consideration as Presi-
dental possibility the name OF Senator
Oscar Underwood tAlabama). Senator
Underwood is we and is OF the type
who would be supported by the liberal
elements of the party.
The sentiment which is develop
ing woud help the boom of Cove nor
Cox of Oh o. according to the view
here. Governor Cox is liberal and
comes from a state that undoubtedly
must be carried by the party that wins
The election.
The best judgment of the Democrats
who are observing the developments is
hat the liberal elements will not at
tempt to back any candidate who is
radically wet. They want, 1t Is be-
lieved, q nom nee whose ecord would
make practically sui.s that he would
favor altbeFal definition ofintox cants
that would permit the sale of beer and
light wines.

Congress has taken no steps what

The American legion was informed

left with confidence to Congress the
necessary step to carry them into ef-

action toward that end in the months
that have elapsed since the conven-

We believe that the American peo-

house and grounds on Washington
Heights. New York city, known as
Libby castle. The house was built
25 years ago and is now one Of the
landmarks of the city. Its architec

receive fine academic education that
