STRAW VOTE CITED
Congressional Poll on
Prohibition Is Suggest
ed by Another Scion.
BY WILLIAM j. MnEVOY
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, March 10. -
Charging that President Coolidge
"dare not for political considera-
tions tell the country the plain
truth about prohibition in a
straight-hewn New England way
Representative Loring Black, Dem
ocrat, New York, today called upon
the chief executive to tell the
country that the prohibition law
cannot be enforced without modifi-
cations.
Coupled with this new wet
move on the house side came a novel
proposal from Representative Andre
Somers, Democrat. New York, foF
a congressional poll throughout the
United States on prohibition. He
introduced a resolution calling for
ballots which congressman could
distribute in their ballots.
Newspaper Polling
Somers said he took cognizance of
the newspaper polls now in progress.
"The results of these unofficial
polls, - Somers declared, "Prove
concusively that this nation, in at
tempting to enforce prohibition, has
a wolf by the ears. The will of the
people is the supreme law of the
land, so it behooves our representa-
tives to obtain the true sentiment
of the voters on this question.
Somer emphasized that the only
expense attached to this would be
the printing of the ballots and en-
velopes.
"Tf the people want prohibition, y
he added. "wc should give them
real prohibition, let the cost be
what it may. But if the majority
wish to pursue a more liberal policy
then our present attitude ceases to
be an error and becomes an outrag
cOus crime
