VETS TAKING UP
DRY CHALLENGE
Wave of Reaction Agains,
Prohibition Discerned
By Anti Leaders.

Challenge of the Anti-Saloon
League to oppose all candidates at
the fall elections who have a wet"
record will be met by the wet"
forces, it was stated yesterday.
Anti-prohibition politicians de-
clare that no dry candidate can be
elected. Prohibitionists take the
contrary view.
There has been a wave of re-
action against prohibition that is
nation wide" said a prominent
wet" politician. Gov. Edwards of
New Jersey was unknown to the
country at large until his fight in
New Jersey made him a national
figure. In Chicago, eight districts
have declared for him. In st. Louis
some of the leading Democrats are
out for him.
Hardly a day passes that some
politician does not come to this Of
fice to know IL the ''wets" are 60
ing to oppose him at the coming
elections. Your politician certainly
does love a comfortable seat on the
band wagon when storms are brew

"As for my views on the situa-
tion.eI simply do not know what to
say. / am trying to keep In touch
with Hiram johnson, for, of all the
public men In this country he is the
one with whom I hnd myself in most
complete sympathy. You are per-
fectly safe in following his lead.

Washington yesterday to see Sena-
tor Hitchcock. OF Nebraska. He has
just returned from tour OF the

sentiment Is strong throughout the
Middle and Far West.
According to Dahiman, Gen. Per-

before the Rent Commission in the
case of Joseph Ferrero against Mike
Athan, Joseph Venetian. Peter Wells
and Lewis Harris for possession of
premises at III, 71eh and 721 Four

ants to vacate.
The complainant claimed that a
6o-day notice, as provided in the
leases, had been given by the trus-

GRAFT CHARGE.
CALLED UNFAIR
F. S. Washbum Demands
Vndication on Muscle
Shoals Probe.

Frank s. washburn, president OF
the American Cyanamid Company,
testifying yesterday before the Gra-
ham Committee on War Expendi-
lures. demanded that the COMMITTEES
so frame its report as to vindicate
the officers and employees OF the Ali
Nitrate Corporation OF the charges
Of conspiracy, graft and extrava-
gance made by irresponsible wit
nesses who had testified before the
committee on hearsay and rumor
and with a knowledge OF only a
small part Of the work at Muscle
Shoals, Ala, which they had at
tempted to vilify."
washburn said they were in a
peculiarly helpless position. as the
charges made, although unsupport-
ed. when introduced as evidence be-
fore the committee became priv
ileged.
The witness declared that every
charge. no matter how minute, made
before the committee, had been ao-
solutely disproved by the actual rec
ords submitted Monday and yester-
day.
I'VE have the same sense of deep
moral indignation" said washburn.
that anyone would feel who had
performed a patriotic service at a
time of great national peril. EN-
ciently and without profit and had
come out of II with blasted reputa-
tions.
we have a strong personal priv
ilege here. The stories which have
gone out to the newspapers rs the
result of this committees investi-
cation are entirely without founda-
tion in fact, but have injured the
regulations Of men who are depend
ent upon their good names for their
very livelihoon."
washburn said that the cost plus
contract was absolutely the only kind
of contract that the government could
have used in the work at Muscle
Shoals. The cost Of labor and Of ma.
terials were absolutely unknown guam
titles, SO that IL would have been i'm
possible to have made a lump sum
contract. The cost Of labor increased
I65 per cent and of materials likewise
during the progress of the work.
DR.. w. S. Lands. chief technologisi
of the American Cyanamid Company
protested against the vilification tc
which highly trained technical mer
had been subjected by irresponsible
persons who had testified before the
Graham committee on matters con-
cerning which they could not posi-
bly, have had any knowledge.
