STILL WAIT FOR RECORD TO
DECLARE HIS INTENTIONS

ELIZABETH. Sept. 14-Edgar A.
Knapp, of Elizabeth, New Jersey,
for many years a factor in the Pro-
Sressive party of New Jersey and
well known as a Republican, today
declared that the failure of George
l.. Record to state whether or not
he would support Senator Freling-
huysen in the event hat he was re-
nominated as the Republican can
didate for United States
proves c~onclusively that Record has
no claim as n Republican and does
not deserve the support of his party.
In his statement Mr.. Knapp says:
Senator Frelinghuysen early in
the campaign stated publicly and
without reservation that he would
abide by the choice of the people
as expressed in the Republican pri-
maries and would support the Re-
publican nominee for United States
senator. This indicated that Sena-
tor Frelinghuysea placed party
fealty above his hopes for personal
success.
"Mr. Records silence can have
but one meaning and that is of the
will not support the nominee of the
Republican party for United States
senatorship unless hat nominee
happens to be himself. Ii apparent
" is justification for the many |

Records title TO Republicanism

his variegated political career-a
career that has uased him some half
dozen times to unsuccessfully seek
at the hands of New Jersey
under three party emblems.
Il believe that Mr.. Records fall

IF New Jersey that If MI. Record is
nominated, he will be very glad
indeed to receive their votes at the
final election, but that If the pres

sen is nominated he will again, as
previously when he has been de-

publican party and retire to his last

''WET" AND DRY"
GAINS AND LOSSES

From both the "wet" and the dry
camps we hear the assertion that the
Prohibition fight is not ended, but IS
entering upon a new and more DlCteF
nhase. Therefore Immediately after
the November elections, and Whlle
some of the returns were still IN
Doubt we examined the verdict Of the
ballots for any light it might throw
on the progress of John Barleycorn'
fight for resurrection. At that time,
as reported in The Digest, we found
the foes of the Volstead Law rejolc-
inp over the "wetness" of the vote m
New Jersey. Massachusetts and Hi
nois. while the ProhibitiOnists pointed
with equal pride to the decisive dry
victories in Ohio and California, and
to the fact that they retained their
control in the newly elected Con-
gress Now, after both sides have
had time efor more deliberate exam
ination of the results, we record their
later findings.
The "drys" broadly base their sat
isfaction on the fact that no pre-
viously "dry" state reversed itself
in the election, while one supposedly
wet state, California, voted "dry,
although two years ago it had regis
tered its opposition to Prohibition by
a majority of sixty-five thousand
Wayne B. Wheeler, the Anti-Saloon
Leagues general counsel, telegraphs
US the following more detailed analy-
sis of the results, as the "drys" see
them:
''Thirty-five United States Sena-
tors were elected this year. At least
twenty-four of the thirty-five are ia
vorable to the necessary legislation
to enforce the Eighteenth Amend
ment, and have indicated that they
are against the brewers beer and
wine proposal The vets made a
gam in the Senate in only one state,
New Jersey, and lost ground in at
least five states. Of the members of
the House, 371 were renOminated at
the primaries. Of these SO were OPP
posed to Prohibition legislation and
273 favorable to it. In the election
3O3 of these former members were
returned to Congress, 70 of whom
are opposed to Prohibition legisla-
ton and 224 favorable to it. Of the
1872 new members elected, 81 are not
favorable to Prohibition, while II will
support the enforcement legislation.
There are six members who have not
stated their position. The only def
mite test of public sentiment on the
2.75 per cent beer amendment was in
Ohio, where a proposal to legalize the
sale of such liquor was voted upon
at the election of November 7. 1t
was defeated by majority of over
$4,000. In Illinois there was a straw
vote on a beer proposal which did not
have any binding effect. The or
cganized dry forces advised the dry
voters not to vote either way. About
two million votes were cast at the
election. and the advocates of beer
pOlled about 100000. To claim a vic
tory they would have to poll ma
jOTity of all the votes.
Gin Massachusetts we never had a
state prohibition enforcement code.
The failure to secure it at this cleo
ton simply necessitates the continu-

New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Is
land, Texas, West Virginia, WisCOn-
sin, and probably Oklahoma" W. H.
Stayton, executive head of the same
organization, claims that the Glib
eral" element has made clear gain
of 70 votes in the new House, giving
total of 204. He states further that
among the many nOn-committal mem
bers "91 said that if ever the vets
Of the United States showed they ac-
tually would scratch their tickets,
they would, on presentation of that
proof, stand ready to vote for some
liberalization of the Volstead Law"
The New York Globe sees in the cleo
ton results "a sane and healthy pro-
test against an unreasonable law" ;
and the New York World, under the
title, "A Practical Judgment on Vol
steadism," says:
Gan analysis of the wet and dry
voting shows that in the thickly popu-
lated parts of the country the Col
stead Act is highly unpopular. The
Volstead Act and all state limitations
Of it, is most condemned where its
actual workings are best understood.
"The people of the farming dis
tricts may think that the Volstead
Act is a bulwark against what they
hold to be a sin. They have no real
knowledge of that law. The people Of

600 majority, when two years ago 1t

Nevertheless, we find Prohibition
spokesmen admitting that the election
results contain danger signals"
Thus we read in "The American Is
sue" official organ of the Anti-Sa-
DON League: "While there has not
been any material gain in numbers
bv the wet advocates, there is SUI
ficient evidence in the election re-
suits to indicate that all 'drys" who
have thought the victory for ProhlDl;
ton complete should now be on guard
as never before" Soon after the
election William Fl. Anderson, New
York State Superintendent OF the
Anti-SaloOn League, addressed a let
ter to the New York clergy, exhort-
ing them to greater activity in behalf
of Prohibition enforcement. 1t began
with these words: "The opponents OF
liquor and the advocates Of law and
order in the nation, as a whole, got
kicked on the shins last Tuesday, but
in New York they were kicked in the
eve" Another "dry" authority, DR.:
Clarence True Wilson, secretary of
the Board Of Temperance, Prohibition
and Public Morals Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, finds evidence in
the election results that a new wet"
and "dry" fight is now on, and that
at will be more bitter and relentless
than was the fighting when PrOhibi-
ton was won"
In the New York Tribune, under
the heading, "Why This Excite
ment?" William Allen White, an un-
compromising dry" sums up the re-
suits as follows:
"The referendum was invoked IN
four American state upon the Vol
stead Act. In one state the refer
endum was merely advisory, and for
months before the election the dry
leaders advised their followers to ig-
more the referendum. That state was
Illinois and, of course, the vets won.
In three other states the referendum
was not advisory. 1t was mandatory,
and there was a finish fight. The
VETS won in the wet state of Mas
sachusetts and the 'drys' won in the
dry state of Ohio and in the wet
state of California, where Prohibi-
ton had never won before. In the
wet states the VETS won, some
times under the Republican banner,
sometimes under the Democratic ban
ner, and in the dry states the 'drys'
won under both banners.
"The 'drys' have a slightly in
creased majority in Congress and no
dry state at the election went wet, ,
and, as one state went dry there is
nothing in the election for either the
VETS or the 'drys' to get excited
about"
The "wets," on the other hand, in
sist that the election returns reveal
a growing and insistent revolt against
the Volstead Law, and prove conclu-
sively that Prohibition is again before
the country as an unsettled political
issue. According to G. C. Hinckley,
secretary of the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment, the
"wets" made gains in California,

the densely settled regions know the
Volstead Act in practice. They know
it to be the greatest source of cor
ruptiOn that has ever come into
American life. They know it for what
it is-the foundation of the bootleg
ing traffic and a sinister destroyer
of respect for law.
when the rural districts and the
cities vote on the Volstead Act they
are really voting about two different
things. The farmers are voting
against the village saloon, not against
their cider, which so often and Sc
easily exceeds the Volstead limits
The city people, though they have nc
desire to restore the old saloon, are
voting against a law which in every
city in the land is the basis of gigan.
tic corruption, more widespread and
insidious and appalling than any this
Republic has yet known"
