questions raised under the Rhode Is
land case.
Elihu Root, acting as one or coun-
sci for the United Brewers Assocla-
ton, filed a brief today attacking the
prohibition amendment as unconstitu-
tional in not having been legally rati-
ned by three-fourths OF the states,
and contending that questions raised
as to it's constitutionality are Justl-
fable.
Would File Brief.
Wayne Il. Wheeler, general counsel
for the Anti-Saloon League, made ap-
plication to file a brief, in the Ken
lucky and Massachusetts, cases.
The brief set forth that the Eight
eenth amendment was legally sub
mitted by Congress to the states FOR
rejection or ratification; that the
people of State cannot reserve
power to act in the matter of rati-
fication of a Federal amendment with
out further amending the Federal
Constitutions; that the ratification OF
an amendment to the Constitution is
a legislative act and cannot be sub
ject to a referendum: that concurrent
power to enforce the ElBnteentn
amendment by appropriate legislation
authorizes both State and nation to
enact prohibition laws, but no license
or permissive laws; that State pro-
hibition code may contain more dras-
tic provisions than the Federal code,
but such State enactments cannot
permit what the Federal act pro-
hibits; that in case Of conflict be-
tween the Federal and State laws,
the courts are bound to support the
authorized Federal statutes as SUI
preme law; that Congress has the
power to enact a prohibition code
and that all the provisions OF the
Federal code have reasonable re-
lation to the enforcement of the law
prohibiting the manufacture and sale
of Intoxicating liquors for beverage

MARYLAND "WETS" WILL
TRY TO BEAT ZIHLMAN
Congressman Announces Candidacy
For Re-electiOn-Has Been Con-
sistent DRY" Supporter.

Declaring his readiness to go be-
fore the people of his district on
the strength of his record, Congress-
man Frederick w. Zihlman. of Mary
land. today announced his candidacy
for reelection to Congress from the
Sixth Maryland district.
According to friends OF Mr.. Zihl-
man, he is confident that he will be
unopposed in the Republican prl-
maries. and feels certain of being
able to win out against any OPP
ponent set up against him by the
Democrats in the general election.
Thus far the only Democrat seeking
the nomination for the Sixth district,
ii Is stated. is Justice of the Peace
Altman NJ. Wood, of Frederick.
Mr.. Zihlman was elected to Con-
gress in 1916, succeeding David j.
Lewis. Democrat who is now MEM
Der of the tariff commission. Prior
to that Mr.. Zihlman represented his
district for a term and half in the
Maryland State Senate, during which
time, for three sessions, he was Re-
publican floor leader.
The principal obstacle he probably
will have to face in the race is the
fact that he has voted consistently
dry during the various steps of the
Federal prohibition legislation, in
spite OF the fact that Allegany
county. which includes Cumberland,
the largest city in his district has
strong wet" sentiment. He voted
for the Volstead enforcement bill
and against the recent efforts to re-
peal that statute.
