DKYs OF STATE WILL


 Another attempt to secure the ratilca ton by Connecticut Of the national pro htbition amendment will be mace at the next sesslon of the legislature, it is re- vealed in the current issue of the Con- necticut Patriot, official publication O. the state prohibition committee It in inmates that the prohibition party will have a full ticket in the state cleo ton in the fall with candidates for United States senator down. The party will al. so seek to put wisdom teeth in the state enforcement law.
 Candidates on both the republican and democratic tickets and particularly those running for congress, are to be canvass ed to determine where they stand with reference to the so-called wine and beer propaganda of the 90 or more organiza- tions that are pushing this proposal and making a good deal of noise about 1t, - according to the paper. II goes On to ex- press dissatisfaction with the posit on Of both major parties in Connecticut on thu subject and adds Tt will therefore be apparent tha' +hose voters who believe in the eight h amendment should be ed to seek political candidates who stand unequfVocally for the law else where than in either of these farties, un- less there is a radical change"
 The announcement of two candidates of the Democratic nomination for con gressman in the Frs district Fred P. Holt of Hartford and Joseph Nj. Hallorsn Of New Britain. that they would seek cleo tion on a platform fayorine modification of the olstead act to permit the sale of light wines and beer, and inti1nation along the same line from the republican side. are believed to have brought out this declaration by the probiaitiJn;s:s which takes the form of an acceptance of the challenge
 "The prohibition party in Connecti- cut is vet a factor the paper says. and offers the opportunity for casting a vote for candidates who stand not only four square for the prohibitin law, it's ob- servance and it's enforcement. but for oth- CT progressive legi5lation az well It goes on to say that Connecticut is her aided from Australia to Europe and wherever else news travels coHcerning 2 prohibition, az the one state whose entire delegation had voted against the Eigh- leenth Amendment in congress and who have been found almost without excep- tion, on tho wrong side Of this important question every time Our denocratic friends have nothing better to show as Congressman Lonergan voted wrong on this question and the democratic party leadership has been against prohibition all along
 Passing along to the state situation, >the qualification says that "our enforce ment code needs few more wisdom teeth" and above all, now that New Jer- sey has ratified the Eighteenth Amend ment. we feel all the more keenly the failure of the last general assembly to ratify the amendment It is fairly well known why 1t failed, but such failure must not occur again, and the way tc prevent it is to see to it that candidates for ths horse and senate are nominated and elected who will Ny.. AA. .u..4AA. tion."
 E. L. c. Hohenthal, chairman of the prohibition state committee is now abroad participating in a movement tt make Europe dry" but he is expected back in time to direct the prohibition campaign this fall. In the presidentia election two years ago, the prohibition party boiled 1.771 votes in the entirt state, which was 8 votes less than 1t SC cured in 1916 without the women's vote.
