Old Guard Plans
Caucus to Assure
Dry Bill's Passage
Republican Senator's Move
TO Bring Committee Mem
bers Into Line for Favor
able Action ON Measures
From a STAFF Correspondent

ALBANY, Feb. 26-In order to elimi-
nate incipient opposition among Re-
publican Senators to the Mullan- Gage
dry enforcement bill, the Old Guard
members of the Upper House will con-
fer on this measure after the session
Monday night. The leaders plan to
turn the conference into q caucus, so
as to make the bill party measure.
This action is largely due to the fact
that an S S has been sent out by
those members of the Senate judiciary
Committee who are friends of the bill
that pressure must be brought to bear
ii it is to be reported out of commit
tee. 1t is feared there will not be
enough votes in the Judiciary Commit
tee membership to obtain favorable
action on the measure unless the lead
ers take a hand and bring the COM
mittee members. into line.
The advocates of the Slacer dry en-
forcement bill, which meets the views
of the AntiSaloon League, had hoped
to take advantage of this situation. 1t
now develops, however, that the op-
position to the Mullan- Gage bill is
largely due to che fact that in some
respects it is too drastic to meet The
views of those who believe in dry en-
forcement but who would not want to
turn the state into zone as arid as
the Sahara.
The Slacer bill, which was drawn by
William H. Anderson, superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League, contains
provisions even more drastic than those
of the MullanG Gage bill.
Should the Slacer measure be en-
acted, it would mean that the making
of home brew would be illegal. There
is no danger, however, of the bill be-
ing passed, as it is extremely doubtful
that it will be reported out of COM
mittee.
Legislative veterans are marveling at
the change in the attitude of legisla-
tors toward Superintendent Anderson
and the Anti-Saloon League.
