The Association Against the Prohi-

terially to this list before election.
These nominees are designated lib
erals"-not "wets"-by the associa-
ton. The spokesman for the associa-
tion says that not all OF these lib

stands for light wines and beer-but

RESULT Of THE

terday's election for new dali
cream, the results Of which are
not expected to be known until next
Tuesday at the earliest, the esti-
innate is hazarded in some quarters
that the republicans will have forty
representative in the new dali, that
the group which represents pro-
treaty sentiment in the old dali will
have sixty members, while the new
comers will number twenty-eight
I-~~if all the newcomers support tie
treaty, the likelihood of which has
been pointed out, it would give the
free state forces a working major-
ty on the treaty issue. The repub-
'licans, however. do not expect the
division will follow these lines and
prefer to regard the new parliament
as likely to consist of 100 old Sim
Fein members against twenty-eight
mot attached to that party organi-
zation. They say that the coali-
tion cabinet therefore is safe
against attack on any policy ad-
vanced by the combined Sim Fgin
wings. The coalition cabinet is ex-
pected to focus its attention on ad-
ministration and the Ulster prob
lem.

Agreement Of Majority Leaders to Delay
Calling Up the Measure; Harding Will Sign
1t, Is McCumber's Assurance.
tBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS,

bonus bill should be passed before
congress adjourns.
That the president would sign
the bill IL passed and that it un-
doubtedly would be passe' before
adjournment was stated during
the senate debate by Chairman Nc
Cumber Of the senate finance COM
mittee in charge of both the tariff
and bonus measures.
The senate debate was enlivened
by a charge from Senator Walsh,
democrat, Massachusetts,, that ian
honest majority" of the senate was
not behind the bonus bill and that
group of senators professins to
favor it were "ducking and dodg-
ing" and seeking to avoid going on
record. Senator Ashurst, demo-
crat, Arizona. who initiated the
discussion, demanded early action
on the bonus measure and predict
ed its defeat IL it should not be put
ahead of the tariff. Congress
would adjourn after disposing Of
the tariff bill. Senator Ashurst
said.
Concluding the senate affray,
Senator Walsh said it was time "to
be honest and frank" Pointing
out that the bonus Question has
been before congress three years,
with two bills reported out. Sena-
tor Walsh said there was a minor
ity in favor the bill, q minority
against it and another group Of
senators 'who are ducking and
lodging against going on record"
Will Know Their Friends.
"The soldiers will know who are
their friends" Senator Walsh
warned. ITO say that n majority
OF the senate is onestly for this
bill when they allow it to be kick
ed around like football, delayed
and postponed. means that a ma
1ority is unable to do legislation.
That criticism is justified. You
can't get action here. It's words,
words. words, and no vote. How
long do you expect the people to
remain patient? Let's do the peo-
ple's business. The honest truth
is that a majority will not allow
the roll to be called on this bill.
There are senator's here who say
they are for this bill and tell their
constituents they are for It but who
are secretly doing everything they
can to postpone action. There is
not a majority sincerely and hon.
estly in favor Of this measure"

Washington, June 17.-House

twelve months. This represents q.
reduction of 5000 from the senate

The house delegation refused to
accept the senate provision fixing

well as the item approprilting pay
for $4,000 as passed by the senate.
They were said to have stood solid

would have permitted a personnel
of more than 125,000. War de-

repeatedly in hearings on the bill
that to reduce the present author
