Senator France
Ever An
ObStructiOnist

In the enactment of the final
scenes in the United States
Senate for the passage of the
SOLDIER BONUS BILL,
Maryland suffered a new hui
initiation at the hands of Sen.
ator Joseph Irwin France,
when by the overwhelming
vote Of SIS to 3 his amend
ment to arrange for the
turning back of bonus pay
ment for veterans to assist in
creating an educational fund
and a chain of universities
went down to defeat. An OBJ
structionist to the bitter end,
Senator France pitted his
amendment against the best
thought of his party leaders,
and practically the judgment
of the United States Senate as
a whole.
The friend of the Bolshevist
movement, the only voter in
the Senate against the Four
Power Treaty for the peace of
the world, and the man who
Hoped to God for the success

FOR WILLIAM AND MARY

ball athlete and rowing man. was in
Annapolis last Friday en- route to
Williamsburg. Va, where he has
taken a position as football coach at
William and Mary College.
Ingram, who is the youngest of
three brothers, all noted Navy ath-
letes, was graduated from the Aead-
envy in 1919.
Ingram. All-American fullback in
1918, captain of the Navy team OF the
same year, is regarded by experts as
one of the greatest players in the
history of the game He is already
on the ground of William and Mary,
having reported for service on Satur-
| day. His contract with the Virgin
ians means a distinct heightoning of
the bright prospects of the Williams
burg team.
lnEram's reputation as player has
dwarfed his accomplishments as a
coach. He has had much experience
and success in the latter field. Re-
J

to the old master at Annapolis in 1919.
In 1920 ands 1921, he coached and

Bruce Favors "Calm And
Reasoned Argument" In
Fight Against DRY" Laws

William Cabell Bruce, candidate for
the Democratic nomination for United
States Senator. on Saturday said his
deliberate judgment was that, IL re-
lief from the present prohibition laws
IS 10 he obtained by the communi-
ties objecting 10 the laws, If a fight
that means anything is TO be made,
calm and reasoned argument must be
Ised rather than clubs and fireworks.
Mr. Bruce's theory is that the drys
are intrenched in Congress, with enor-
nous advantages on their side. He
links that If they are approached
with clubs they will put all their pow
or behind counter-attack with clubs
whereas il they are approached with
facts and arguments there is a chance
that the American sense OF fair play
will give heed and that changes in the
prohibition laws may be achieved
Would Avoid Rail Promises
His conclusion, therefore, is that the
opponent OF the present prohibition
avs who wants To be effective, whe-
her as a citizen or as a member oil
he Senate or House, will keep his
we fixed on the thing that can be
accomplished and will avoid promis-
ing in an excited and fire-eating way
;hings that all practical men know
cannot be accomplished lest he SET
lead against him the judgment OF
hose with whom he must deal.
"The prohibition issue is paramount;
N the Democratic primary" Mr. Bruce
aid mot because it is the only ques-
ion in which the people are interest
ID but because it probably is the only
question on which there is a seriou.
Inference between the candidates fol

1T would be foolish to suppose tha'
n such times as these, with interna
.ional affairs occupying the attentio,
" thoughtful people the world owe
and with hard times and industrial
crises bearing down upon the every
day affairs of everyone, that the mel
and women of Maryland are thinkin,
of nothing except the prohibition

Sees Chance OF Relief

And / believe that if we went to
he members of Congress from States
like Iowa, the Dakotas, Indiana, Kan
sas, Colorado and other definitely and
powerfully dry States, and said to
hem: Do as you please for your own
people, but consider our evils of vile
bootleg whisky, thousands of illicit
stills and fragrant violations of the
law by otherwise lawabiding people,
and now pay attention TO our call
sor light wines and beer l say / be-
lieve if we did that, we would have
chance of getting relief that we
never would get by damning and by
threatening to do impossible things.
I'VE have a case that we can make
out in a way that will command the
attention and respect of fair and rea-
sonable men everywhere. / am in ia
vor of making out that case sensibly
md calmly because / believe that is
he strongest way to make it out. It
is the way that offers infinitely the
best chance of success. l have been
trying cases for 40 years now, and l
earned long time ago that when
you have justice on your side, and
YOU are calm and intelligent enough
20 demonstrate that you have justice
on your side, you get hearing from
the jury, no matter what their predi-
ections when they entered the box.
''And l have lived too long to ex-
Dect to make permanent gains by
threats. People in this country are
not greatly moved by threats. 1t is
he fact that threats do not work and
hat appeals for fair play and justice
10 work, soon or late, that consti-
.utes one of the greatest sources of
our real strength

light wines and beers in communities
that want them back and are willing
to allow communities that do not want
them back to keep them out, it seems
TO me that you hold a position that
appeals to the sense of justice and
fair play that is in most people in
this country, in and out of Congress.
And If you lack your call with facts
and arguments to show that not only
do the people of certain communities
want light wines and beers but that
they would be vastly better off having
them legally than they are now you
have a still better chance of winning
he other side over.
Il believe it can lie shown to any

vastly better off with light wines and
beers than they are with the Volsteat

Thinks Change Is Desired

Il take it that the men and women
who object to the existing prohibition
avs want To do more than hold meet
ngs of protest, want to do more than
merely denounce the laws and those
hey think responsible for their en-
actment. l take it that they want to
change the laws as far as il is prac-
ticahle to change them.
1t is inconceivable to me that the
sane. hard-headed, hard working peo-
pie who think these prohibition laws
are oppressive intend merely to work
themselves into a lather, and then
quit until they feel like working
themselves into another lather. Ger
tainly, l am unwilling. as a citizen

Little Need OF Debate Now


But since it may be assumed that
III of the candidates for the Demo-
cratic nomination. being Jeffersonian
Democrats, hold fundamentally the
same general views on most questions
before the country, there is little need
Of debate between them on those ques-
lions. Debate could deal only with
letails. in most instances, and dis
cussion of details in a primary cam
paign is rather futile. The Demo
Gratis concerned with international af-
fairs and industrial and financial
questions simply have to decide which
of the Democratic candidates is best
equipped to uphold their principles
The debate-will come in the general
election campaign.
In the matter of prohibition, how
ever. we have the fact that all three
of the Democratic candidates for the
senatorial nomination have expressed
themselves as favoring changes in the
prohibition laws, and have expressed
themselves in such way that there
is presented a serious question as to
procedure in seeking to bring about
actual changes. There is presented
/ question for the Democratic voters
10 decide, and | think it is a ques-
lion of importance.
