Washington, Oct. l7.-EVen III
matters of rum politics makes
strange bed-fellows. The pith OF
the old saying comes home force
fully today to the dry law bosses
There is worry in the camp of the
drys. Politics and its workings
are at the basis of their guessing
over what will happen next.
Cleverly devised programs for
enforcement, that appear to leave
nothing undone in the way OF
tight regulations, are not going
through in certain important To-
calities. Lack of success in strict
administration of the Volstead
law. in some state noted as big
liquor sources, is blamed entirely
on politics.
In some of the large state dry
enforcement machines are presided
over by men who are suspected by
the drys of not being 100 per cent
drys. These men say the charge
of the drys is true. They happen
not to be in the category OF pro-
fessional drys.
1t is the private opinions such
men hold that make them unfit to
the dry laws, in the
view of the dry leaders. But that
argument does not get far with
either United States senators or
with the White House, which had
the final approval Of their ap-
Agitation for the removal OF
some Of the alleged vets presiding
over state dry law machines has
been very pronounced in the camp
Of some of the drys. The rumblingsl
have now taken the form of form
al demand for the removal of GER
tain directors. One of them has
ben officially placed before Rev
anue Commissioner Blair. Others
are expected
The outcome Of these drives
against dry law officials whose
personal and official integrity re-
mains absolutely impregnable in
the eyes Of higher officials WELD
