VETS" ARE IN DESPAIR,
BUT SOME FEW HOPE ON
Prohibition Officer DOdsOn Says En-
forcement Will Go On.

The blade of Constitutional tests
having failed to cut the strands of
prohibition, wet" advocates on all
sides now admit they have despaired
Of solving the Gordian knot through
any means except by undoing, under
a longdrawn-out political campaign
what has been done. Some believe
this VIII never be accomplished; 9TH
ers hold out some hope. but don't
think the present generation Will ever
live to see il.
All is not pessimism, however, and
there are those optimistic enough TO
rejoice in the Supreme Court having
given out its decision in time for the
coming Presidential election. They
say that the issue is, as a result, made
more clear-cut than ever and the
prediction is made that the candi-
date OF one or TIE other Of the two
larger parties will come out openly
on wet plank for abolition of the
Eighteenth Amendment.
Richard s. Dodson, Maryland Direc-
tor Of Prohibition, gave out a state
ment Tuesday of how his Office is af-
fected by the Supreme Courts action.
lie said:
My Office has been doing its utmost
to enforce prohibition since its in
ception on the ground that the act was
valid until declared otherwise by the
Supreme Court Personally, I had
felt confident all along that the find
ing of the tribunal would be as it
was
Our intention is to continue en-
( forcement in the future as it has been
| conducted in the past-to the best of
our ability-although we are now
shorthanded But | believe there will
be less willful violations, now that the
citizens have their Supreme Courts
decision.
ut is my opinion that some of the
remaining wholesale liquor dealers
who are doing business on permits to
! purchase will promptly 20 out Of bus
/ mess rather than now face the strin-
! gent regulations before them. They
have signified this intention in their
talks with me-"
J. Bib Mills, counsel for the Anti
/ Saloon League of Maryland was at
Washington as the representative Of
| the legal department of the Anti
Saloon League of America when the
/ Supreme Court handed down its de-
cision on Monday. He acted for Mr..
| Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
for the League, who is at Chicago.
When the Court read off its decis-
| ion, | made note of the action on
each of the points" said Mr.. Mills.
81 hastened to a telephone and got
a long distance call through to Mr..
Wheeler. He bubbled over with de-
light when | informed him of the VIC
tory on the IL points, all of which
were reviewed and upheld by the
| Court" :
Mr.. Mills said he agreed with Mr..
Dodson that the enforcement up to
now has been very satisfactory here.
"All Indications" declared he, "are
that there has been very little boot
Logging in Baltimore, and no open
selling as reported from some other

NO BALLOT UNTIL TONIGHT
Republican Acknowledgement Decide
Stand On League of Nations Today

Stand On League of Nations Today
While the Republican National Con-
vention holds daily routine sessions at
Chicago and the managers of the can
didates continue to hustle and hope
and predict, the real fight for the mo-
ment has switched back to the League
of Nations.
1t centers upon the question Of
whether the Republican party is going
to declare fatty against the League
of Nations or whether it is going to
declare for league with reservations.
While the delegates were assembl-
ing in the Coliseum yesterday where
Senator Lodge and the remainder Of
the temporary organization was made
the permanent one and to hear moth
ing more exciting than a prayer and a
speech by Chauncey NJ. Depew, the
League of Nations fight was being
carried on in a committee room where
dozen men, representing the reser-
vationists and the irreconcilables were
gathered.
The irreconcilable swear they will
fight to the last ditch to prevent the
Republican party from going before
the country with any sort of endorse
ment of the league idea, and thus be-
come the tail to President Wilson's
kite" as Senator Johnson himself put
1t. The element opposed to them
argues it will be a sorry thing for the
party if their views prevail.
So involved has the fight become
that the first ballot upon the nominees
that will be placed before the conven-
tion during the hours of TODAY that
the first ballot will not be taken until
tonight.
All the leading candidates are keyed
up to the highest tension and all claim
that they will be nominated.
