FATHER OF DRY ACT
LOSES HOUSE SEAT
Congressman Charles H. Ran.
dali Is Defeated for Re-eIec.
tion in California.

CONGRESSMAN Charles II. Randall.
of California, father OF wartime pro
hibition. should be added to the list
of member Of the House for, whom
prohibition spells defeat. Randall was
replaced BY v. F. Dewater. Repub-
lican.
CONGRESSMAN Randall has been In
Congress three times. He was elected
as q prohibitionist with Democratic
Endorsement The Anti-Saloon League
and other dry forces wanted him re-
turned this time.
It was in May. 1918. that Randan
set in motion the drive for wartime
prohibition. Congress had submitted
the Eighteenth Amendment to the
States, containing the provision that
Il should not go into effect until .
year after ratification. An agricul-
tural bill was before the House. Mr..
Randall offered an amendment to one
Of the items providing for wartime
prohibition. Members afraid or the
dry forces did not dare vote against
the amendment. 1t was adopted, and
from 1t grew the wartime prohibition
law, which became effective July ],
1919, and remained until January 16.
1920, when the Eighteenth Amend
ment became effective.
Notwithstanding losses Of districts
in which the Anti-Saloon League was
making q tight, prohibition had sub
stantial gains, according to claims
of Wayne B. Wheeler. general counsel
of the league.
