N.B. WHEELER CALLS FEM 'BUNG STARTERS
Applies Epithet to 40 Congress men Who Want 2.75 Beer
BY GEORGE II. MANNING. Washington Bureau of N. B. Herald)


 Washington, D. C., March b. "Bung-starters" Is the characteriza- : ton applied by Wayne B. Wheeler. general counsel of the Anti-Sa loon League of America, to Representa- tive Patrick B. O'Sullivans Derby, Conn.,, and the 3s other members of the house who last week joined in signing a letter to all the other mem- bers of congress inviting their sup port for the 2.75 per cent beer and wine bill to be introduced simulta- neously in the house. as the first step in securing liberalization of the Vol stead act.
 It was planned 10 introduce all the bills on March 4. because that is 'Iiberty Day.
 "The 40 ng-starters' have con- fused their dates" Mir. Wheeler de- clared. 'The. sort of Liberty Day March 4.
 Everyone knows that there are over 100 wet congressman. The d-robin invitation 10 join in this attack on the Constitution has se- cured the endorsement of less than half of them. The rest appear 10 be either too loyal 10 their oaths of office or to wise in politics to thus record themselves as supporters of a hope less, unconstitutional and indefensible cause. Wet New York and New Jersey furnish nearly one-half of this group, while the remainder come from recognized wet centers. If tho beer and wine group cannot enlist half of their own number in the house, how can they seriously expect to win the necessary majority?
 '.The Constitution forbids intoNi- eating beverages. Beer with 2.75 per cent alcoholic content is intoNi- eating. No legislation by congress can legalize 1t. They dare not try to license it, but will resort to the indefensible method Of removing penalties so as to make Nthe Consti- tuition impotent. The real purpose of these bills Is not 10 legalize the beverages named but 10 place addi- tional difficulties in the way Of en- forcement of the eighteenth amend ment.
 "The bait of revenue with which to pay the soldiers bonus has been re- scented by ex-seryice men and other patriotic Americans These men did not fight to make America safe for the brewery barons or the corner saloonist, This was the answer the old soldiers gave when it was pro- posed by James q. Blaine 10 pay their pensions with liquor taxes after tho Civil war. Grafters, wet politicians, demagogic candidates and host of other parasites have tried to exploit the soldier since the war. Revenue tactics won during the Civil war when the liquor interests forced the license system on America as rev cnue measure. Today we know that each dollar diverted 10 the liquor traffic is taken from legitimate bnsi- ness. 4 sober America can pay It's bills and meet its debts without pawning the decency, health and future of the race 10 the brewers in rcturn for a petty tax"
