Illinois Vets Organizing
At netting attended by three hun
dred at the Blackstone Hotel in Chi
cago the Illinois branch of the Asso-
citation Against the Prohibition
Amendment was formed. The local
organization is signing UP members
under the name National Association
Opposed to Prohibition" Although
the name differs it is apparent that the
Illinois organization is a part OF the
national organization doing business
under a different name. Captain VIM.
H. Stayton, head of the national or
ganization was present and spoke at
the Chicago meeting. He claimed a
membership OF nearly a quarter of a
million in his organization. The pub
lie announcements OF the program of
this newly formed wet group state that
its purpose is to secure the return of
beer and wine, but not saloons. New
ertheless, the membership form dis
tributed from Washington sets forth
that the final purpose of the organiza-
ton is to secure the repeal OF the
Eighteenth Amendment
Tribune Supports Wet Society
The Chicago Tribune on January p
printed an editorial of which this was
the opening paragraphs:
THE citizens who are organizing
the Association Opposed to Prohibi
ton are not VETS, In the sense that
word has been used. They are for
the permitted use of wine and beer
but are opposed to the saloon and TO
that extent traffic in liquor. They are
not distllers or brewers and their ef
fort is to keep the association clear of
such influences"
On January II in reply to a criti-
cism by Miss Helen Hood in which
she stated that the above mentioned
editorial might have been written by
Levy Mayer, the Tribune said edi
torially: "The Tribune supports the
new Association Opposed to Prohibi-
ton and therefore Miss Hood thinks
that Levy Mayer must have the Trib
une on his payroll"
Beer and Wine Referendum

opened newspaper referendum cam

Want Beer on Ballot

A direct vote on the beer and wine
question is being sought by the vets
OF Illinois. This was announced on
January II. The Chicago Evening
Post report of this proposed wet
move was as follows:
AT the November elections this
year voters in Illinois will have an op-
portunity to register their convictions
concerning the Prohibition laws, AID.
A. ]. Cermak, wet leader of the city
council, declared today.
''He announced that all arrange
ments had been completed to put on
the ballot the question of retention
of the present dry laws or substitution
of amendments to permit manufacture,
sale and transportation OF light wines
and beer. A vote to amend, however,
would change none of the present
laws. 1t would merely register the
convictions of voters, who would then
rely on the state or federal legislative
bodies to alter the statutes
"Ald. Cermak refused to divulge the
names of the men who plan to force
the wet and dry issue on the ballot
again, but said that they include some
of the most influential men in Chi
cago' He added that an organiza-
ton had been perfected which would
be able to run the machinery neces-
sary to put the question on the ballot.
"The law permits three public pol
ICY questions on the ballot in the reg
ular general November elections. But
to get these questions on the ballot
petitions from 10 per cent of the voters
of the state must be secured. This,
Aid Cermak said, his organization
could do.
Plans Two Questions
"He said the issue would be put on
the ballot in the form of two ques-
tions, thus:
81. Shall the state Legislature
amend the state law to permit the
manufacture, sale and transporta-
ton of light wines and beer?
SO. Shall the Congress of the
United States amend the federal
law to permit the manufacture,
sale and transportation of light
wines and beer?
aid. Cermak said he did not think
the dry forces could oppose the effort
to put the question on the ballot be-

Fight to Influence Primaries

In the course OF the. debate in the
Chicago Council Alderman Cermak
leader of the vets, declared that the
purpose of the Council agitation for
beer and wine was TO influence the
nomination of candidates for the Leg
islaturc and Congress ON April IL.
He called on the vets to use their
best efforts from now until primary
day to see to it that candidates op-
posed to the Eighteenth Amendment
are nominated.

Wet Resolution is Adopted

By vote of SO TO g the Council
voted to substitute Cermak's resolu-
ton for Lyle's. Alderman Eaton,
Frankhauser, Wallace, Stefcn, Lyle
and A. O. Anderson voted against
Cermak's wet resolution. Then by a
vote of 81 to the Cermak beer and
wine resolution was adopted.
Lyle Keeps Up Fight
Another resolution practically the
same as the one originally introduced
by him was presented by Alderman
Lyle.
This resolution which put the ques-
ton OF loyalty to the law squarely up
to the council was defeated by vote
of AZ to r. Some OF the vets ex-
planned their votes in favor of the
resolution by saying that they would
not go on record against upholding
the Constitution. The majority, how
ever, refused to even declare by their
votes that the Constitution which they
had sworn to uphold should be en-
forced.

that they had established there

The other rockhouse, opening

according to Prof. Miller, is, a
most promising spot for both

Coal is plentiful in Skowhegan,
Maine. This town established a mu-
nicipal fuel yard several years ago,
and at the end of each season a sur
plus of from 500 to 1000 tons of coal
is purchased, to guard against strikes
or other emergencies. Consequently,
there is plenty of coal to supply the
needs of every householder.
