will be elected on September IS, &C
cordng to Franklin D. Roosevelt, Demo-
cratic candidate for Vice-President,
who passed through this city to-day on
his way to New York City after cam

"On my return from three days in
Maine" Mr.. Roosevelt said in state
ment, II find it impossible to make any
estimate of the situation. The passage
of the Nineteenth Amendment, giving
women the vote, has caused extreme
confusion not only in the country dis

No one has any idea as to the size Of
the woman registration, let alone the
size OF the actual woman vote on Sep
TENDER IS.
II feel very strongly that if all the
woman vote in Maine could be polled
a majority of them would favor the
Democratic ticket. They show the
same tendency to cast their ballot in
favor Of a definite and permanent peace
as they do in other sections of the
country"

D. c. Poole, former American Consul

Senator Ha{dwick termed "conspira-

Taking the stand Martens acknowl-
edged that he had cabled Litvinoff, the
Russian Commissary Of Foreign Affairs,
asking the Soviet government to take

In ". Y:Legislatlsre
Measure by Democratic
Leader Said To Be Tir-
tuaIly Sure of Passage
From a stag Correspondent


ALBANY, March A 2.75 per cent
beer bill was introduced to-day by Sem
ator James ]. Walker, Democratic lead
or. In every respect except the limit
Of alcohol it is the same as the bill
introduced last year by Majority Lead
er j. Henry Walters. The Walters
bill permitted 3 per cent. 1t would
have passed before the prohibition
amendment was ratified but for the
opposition at the last minute Of saloon
keepers Of New York. As it put
the saloons out Of busines, the liquor
dealers joined with their erstwhile
enemy, the Anti-Saloon League, to beat it.
AS it is now generally recognized by
Legislators that, no matter how the pro-
hibition question is finally settled, the
saloon is thing of the past, there
will be no opposition to the Walker
bill. Senator Walters and other Re-
publican leaders are for it. The Demo-
Gratis are lined up solidly be-
hind it. Sentiment for the passage Of
some sort Of light wine and beer
bill seems to prevail in both houses of
bills 80 far introduced, that Of Sena-
tor Walker now seems to be the one
most likely to be agreed on by the
legislative leaders.
The Walker bill would permit the
sale of 275 per cent beverages in
hotels and restaurants with meals and
by wholesalers and retailers for home
consumption in quantities Of not more
than five gallons. 1t stipulates that
where sold by retailers the beverage
must not be drunk on the premises.
The bill was referred to the Senate
Judiciary Committee.

to deprive them of the right of pro-

~. That the prohibition contained
in the said alleged Eighteenth Amend

l OF the Constitution, and is not prop
eriy an amendment to the Constitution

Not Properly Passed, He Says

not properly passed by the Congress

and Of no effect. ~

the legislatures have not ratified as
provided by the constitutions of such

fourths of the states have not ratified

~. That the alleged Eighteenth

IS therefore inconsistent with the
Fundamental purposes expressed in the

annulled and destroyed under the guse
and pretense OF amending the Consti-
tuition"
Attorney General McCran's bill
argues that the Volstead law is un-
constitutional and void for these rea-
sons:
81. Because the national prohibition
act, or Volstead act, was enacted under
authority of the said alleged amend
ment, it is itself null and void, and be-
cause said act of Congress prohibits
and restricts the manufacture and sale
in intrastate commerce Of Intoxicating
liquors.
"2. Because said act of Congress in
terferes with and will depreciatc and
in large measure destroy the taxable
value of real and personal property

therefore destructive of the free and
independent government of said state.

deprived and will permanently deprive
complainant Of it's revenue from IL
