GIGANTIC BATTLE BETWEEN
DRYS and VETS PENDING
Nullihers Have Thirty-four Or
CARNATIONS in Field Against
Prohibition
CONSTITUTION, is TARGET
No Evidence Showing Vets Will
Obey Proposed Law Better
Than Volstead Act

The Literary Digest begins an in
teresting article on the wet and dry
situation in the country by declaring
that "the greatest of all battles be-
tween the wet and dry forces of Amer
lea is now visible on the horizon"
The Literary Digest is right. The
liquor interests are intent upon multi
flying the Eighteenth Article of the
Constitution. They are not making
any attempt to repeal that article but
are making a desperate effort to elect
Congress that will change the def
milton in the Volstead law so as to
permit the manufacture and sale of
beer and wine in spite of the Eight
zenith Article.
These two in.ox.cants constituted
more than nine-terths of the entire
liquor traffic in pre-Prohibition days.
The vets realize as everyone realizes,
that if they can restore the manufac-
