Will Attack Illinois Law

The purpose of the vets relative to
the Illinois Prohibit OH act is thus set
forth in the wet journal:
Whichever way the pendulum
swings at Washington. even to the de-
struction OF the Eighteenth Amend
ment and the Nolstead act, Illinois is
still dry state and will remain so
until a succeeding Legislature repcals
the Prohibition law, even more drastic
than the Nolstead law. which was
passed at the last session of the Illi-
nois Legislature"

Want All Liquors Back Again

\ part OF the report of the semi
annual meeting OF the Retail Malt
Beverage Dealers Association held on
March 20 in the city of Chicago re-
veals that the vets do not intend to
stop with beer and wine.in their fight.
The report states that "Mr. John
Thobe took exception to the wording
of the petition sent out by the Asso-
citation Opposed to National Prohibi-
ton as it provided for the manufac-
turc and sale of light wines and beer
for consumption, and also criticised
the action OF the Chicago City Council
for the passage Of its recent resolu-
ton, on the same subject"
The petition referred to provides for
HOME CONSUMPTION OF beer
and wine. Very clearly delegate
Thobe does not favor such settle
ment of the liquor question as it would
do away with the SALOON. The
Malt Beverage Dealers Association,
be it noted is an association of ex-
lSALOONKEEPERS. Another thing
of considerable significance in connec-
ton with delegate Thobe's protest is
the fact that he comes from the Peoria
district. Naturally a solution of the
liquor problem banishing whisky
would not suit him.
Complete Program Mollihes Kicker
The delegate who objected to pro-
gram excluding saloons and whisky
was satisfied so far as the report
shows when the complete program of
the vets was explained to him. The
record reads, MIR. Cervenka
explained that it was the purpose of
the Association Opposed to Prohibi-
ton to first amend the Volstead act
and then ask for the repeal OF the
/ Eighteenth Amendment as there were
only about 5000 men in Congress and
the various Legislatures that put over
Prohibition, and that their work could
be undone by like number as senti-
Inent throughout the United States is
rapidly changing in our favor" etc.

there is no intention on the part of the
