Says He Has Open Mind" on Trans.
Atlantic Venture.

Col. Mitchell. at his home in Middle
burg, Va, today. declined to state
positively whether he would accept an
invitation to fly across the Atlantic
in the plane just recently completed

While refusing to stale the extent
of overtures made to him on the sub
Ject, he declared he had an open
mind" on the venture.
He indicated that the forthcoming
campaign he has agreed to undertake
for aviation was far more important
than flying across the Atlantic, how
ever.
I'D rather not say anything about
the matter now he declared. He
added he was leaving for Philadelphia

crew of four brought the Army blimp

Belleville, H.. near here Shortly after
6 O'Clock this morning.
1t was the first anniversary of the
Shenandoah disaster when that craft,
much larger than the TICS, buckled

Officer R. E. Lassiter who served as

During the fight from Langley

ship had covered 1900 miles, although
a direct line is only about $50 miles.

Gray said that rough weather was

Says Fortress Is Captured.

"Why should we go out to take a
fortress which we already occupy
lust because the vets shout at us that
we couldn't take it again."
Referring to the wet and dry refer
endum in Illinois in 1922, when beer
and wine were demanded by the vets,
and the drys were urged by the Anti
Saloon League not to participate in
the vote, DR.. Stafford said:
I'm 1922 the vets of Illinois had a
referendum on the wet and dry QueS-
ton in connection with the general
election. They claimed to receive by
that referendum 1,045,330 wet votes.
In the same election. the total vote
for Congressman at large was 1879
172 votes, of which Richard Yates,
Republican, a dry candidate, received
943,684 votes. He was opposed by
two Democrats, both Of whom ran on
the wet ticket. The vote he received
left only 735.4S8 to include all wet
votes including Democrats, Republi-
cans and opposing dryS, who put
party loyalty above their interests in
the question of prohibition. In other
words, the vets claimed by their refer
endum 309,646 more votes than they
were able to produce in support of
wet candidates in the very same
election.
THAT kind of showing does not in
spire confidence in the accuracy or
reliability of referendums promoted
by the vets"

Anti-Saloon League is trying to ignore
their referendum because it is afraid
Of the issue, afraid that when all the
ballots are counted Illinois will have
been shown to be wet in sentiment.
The referendum proposed is imprac-
ticable, the drys say, and give as rea'
sons for saying so:
That the definite plan suggested has
already been repudiated by the Su.
preme Court.
That it. is impossible to obtain an
honest vote on the question.
That it settles nothing and would
have no legal status.
That it tends to divert attention
from the main business Of the House,
which is to secure the full enforce
ment of the Volstead act.
And, that 1t tends to divide forces,
which should unite to see that Illinois
does not send a conspicuous wet to
the Senate.
