Prohibition Is Issue in November
 Campaigns

Chicago, Oct. 1 P-Voters in eight states, at the November cleo ton, will have an opportunity to pass upon prohibition. The states are California, Colorado, Illinois, Missouri. Montana, Nevada, New York and Wisconsin.
 In New York, Illinois and Wis consin. the referendum is on the question of asking congress to amend the Volstead Act.

 New York and Illinois vote on the same proposition: beverages which are not in fact intoxicating as de- termined in accordance with the laws of the respective states" In Wisconsin, the proposition says "beer for beverages purposes of an alcoholic percentage of 2.75." In New York the legislature passed a bill to place the question on the ballot.r In Wisconsin the proposal was adopted by joint resolution of the legislature. In Illinois. the re- ferendum was initiated by petition. The question in California is whether to repeal the Wright act, the state enforcement law, adopted by the people at a referendum in 1922.
 Depend on Federal Law
 Tn Colorado, the question will be submitted as proposal to amend
 
 'enabling the legislature to provide for manufacture and sale of intoxi- eating liquors, such amendment to be imperative so long as in conflict with the laws of the United States" The Missouri vote will be on the question of repeating all state laws relating to liquor control, except the law forbidding sale Of liquor to minors.
 The Nevada referendum is in the form of a memorial to congress to submit the Eighteenth Amendment again to the states.
