Col. Gillett Sees Result
as Triumph for II cts
Prohibition Political Not Moral
Issue, He Says; to Worh for
RenenE of Mnlkan.G0ge Lnap

Colonel Ransom H. Gillett, general
counsel of the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment, says that
the result at the polls on Tuesday dem
onstrates that prohibition is political
and not a moral issue. He further
stated that he first big job for the
winter will be the repeal Of the Mullan-
Gage law in this state.
SIN the, face !2f the overwhelming
Democratic victofy it would be idle to
claim that the light wine and beer
plank in their state platform was sole
Iy responsible for the fact that more
than 100000 citizens OF New York State
changed their political minds in two
years. said Colonel Gillett.
"But it is safe to say that that plank
cost the Republican party thousand
upon thousands Of votes, The result
ought to disabuse the minds of tho
party managers of the idea that the
Anti-Saloon League is political asset
"Fanaticai prohibitionists are more
valuable politically as enemies than
they are as friends.
Sin Rochester the Anti-Saloon League
turned the churches under its controi
into Republican political clubs, aud
thereby insured the election Of every
Democratic candidate in sight.
"Mr. Calder, while known to be wet,
refused to make o declaration, and was
beaten by 250,000. Two years ago Sem
ator Wadsworth, who declared himself,
carried the state by close to million
votes.
"In Massachusetts the "wets" won
the light wine and beer referendum by
over a hundred thousand majority in
spite of the fact that the Anti-Saloon
League spent lot of money and sent
in Wayne 3. Wheeler and all their
other heavy artillery in a frantic effort
to convince the original Yankees that
prohibition was good for them.
"In Illinois we were successful by
something like three TO one.
'In California the wet referendum
was carried by an unknown majority.
"In New Jersey Edwards, making his
fight solely on the wet and dry issue,
prevailed over the whole influence of

CINCINNATI, Nov. S--The lead
which the returns from the cities had
built up for tho light wine and beer
amendment to the state constitution
began to crumble early this morning
as returns from the rural districts be-
gan to come in.
At late hour, with 7,l35 of the S,176
precincts In the state heard from, the
majority against the amendment had
mounted we'll above the 100000 mark,
the final returns would show a total
majority against the proposal not far
from 10000. The precincts heard from
gave 636,682 for the amendment and
739,39l against it.
The cities remained consistently wet
as they were"in the days of the period
ca! local option struggles antedating
prohibition, while the country districts,
known as "the Sahara" remained just
es consistently dry. Cincinnati, for
instance, even after more than three
years of Volsteadism, registered wetter
than ever, polling 112,6o7 votes for ste
wine and beer amendment to 3S,2oo
against it and Furnishing severely 81 II

ticket, who wero suspected Of leaning
toward drastic enforcement Of the Vol

story, a tale repeated in modified de

Wet Leaders Disappointed a..
While the wet leaders were Gisap-
pointed In the showing made, they MADE
il clear that they ware in no. mood TO
abandon the struggle for modification
of the state enforcement act, In q
statement issued in Cleveland, in which
he conceded the defeat Of the amend

sistant Secretary Of War. who is chair
man of the Ohio division of the As
sociation Aggiust the Prohibition
Amendment, asserted that the defeat
of the wet proposal was due to o mis-
understanding of the purpose and

to what he termed Misrepresentation

The occasion is the regular Mid-Y ear Meeting of the association.
 The public discussion of trackless transp ortation follows an investiga- tion by c. D. Emmons, president of pany of Baltimore, who will lead the discussion. MT. Emmons has studied the question at home and abroad and made practical experiments with buses to supplement his electric car ser vice.
 Whether trackless transportation can be co-ordinated with interuTbans will be discussed by Harry Reid of 1ndianapolis, President Of the Inter state Public Service Company. Paul Shou,p, President of the Pacific Elec- tric lines, will discuss the trackless transportation situation in California E. B. Whitman, a public service com missioner of Maryland, also will speak on the subject.
 Fhe question has been under con s1deraf1on for some time and ASsocia- tion Committees and individual mem bers have been making a careful study of the question, and some defin- ite attitude is expected to be taken at the meeting.
 Public relations, safety work and taxation will be other subjects dis cussed. Samuel Insult of Chicago, Fielders Sanders. Street Railway Com missioner of Cleveland, and Brftton T. Budd, President Of the Metropolitan West Side Elevated Railway of Chica- go will speak.

 ''I was greatly astonished to learn that the new pope was nearly 65 years old. Judging by the way he looked in 1910 my guess was that he was not much more than 50 at the present time. He has many years before him. The pictures recently publish ed are excellent likenesses. The very recent ones clearly show the change in facial expression due to his change of occupation from the field of quiet scholarship to that of more strenuous executive work.
 ''In spite of the few weeks spent in his company I feel that I know the pope intimately because we sat side by side all day long and exchang- ed views on matters of common in terest.
