A DEAD ISSUE

From time to time, upholders of IL
quor traffic attempt to extract COM
fort from the results of elections held
in various parts of the country.
Recently a supreme attempt was
made to interpret the result of con-
gressional by-election in New York
State as indicating pronounced
swing toward legislative tempering of
the prohibition enforcement law. In
Republican district, the Republican
nominee was returned to Congress by
greatly reduced majority. 1t hap
pened that in this instance tn Demo-
cratic nominee had made opposition
to the prohibition law a point in his
platform. There were several other
factors in the election, reduced vote,
disgust over congressional do-nothing-
ness, the aftermaths of financial de-
preston, and the usual local group
vote alignments.
But anti-prohibitionists ignored all
other factors and loudly ascribed the
reduced Republican majority to dis
satisfaction with prohibition.
A few weeks later, however, the
primary election in Indiana was held,
and anti-prohibitionists remained dis
creetly silent over the election Samuel
M. Ralston was nominated for Sena-
tor by the Democrats by an over
whelming majority. One of his OPP
ponents had made the campaign sole
ly on the anti-prohibition issue, and
had been showed under so badly that
it was not worth while to count the
votes. In several of the congressional
nominations, other prohibition as
pirants had Jared as badly.
The truth of the matter is that the
public will not consider prohibition as
live issue. Even those persons who
profess the belief that the prohibition
measure was a mistake refuse to let
any worry over its passage interfere
with their 1922 digestion. Prohibition
as fundamental policy is settled,
and the politician who tries to urge its
repeal is arguing an issue as dead as
slavery.
