icy and tactics. 1t has been possible
for the disputants in the sewage
matter TO gain a wide audience Of
influential men through the talks
recently made, and behind these
has been the general public which
read what had been spoken. Wider
knowledge ot'.he subject has result
ed, and today there are few in the
city who lack better understand

vas the case until recently.
1t may be that the sewage disposal
question will come to a vote Of the

from the first endeavoring TO
squelch popular discussion of this
subject, now discovers that there
are other CIVIC forums in this city,
forums which are not controlled by
political machinists, forums which,
without taking definite sides upon
the question, can be credited with
doing splendid work in the ,endeav-

ordeal as quickly as possible, and
often such hard thinking about
candidates as was done before the
election goes for nausht when con-
fronted with the levers OF the voting
machine. Let ZAP Smith be the top
candidate and all the remainder Of
the Democrats will gain immensely.
Aspiring Democratic congressman,
among others, will have more OF a
chance to wend their way from the
environs OF the home town.
The Democratic convention, if 1t
is wise; will instruct the, delegates
! to the national convention to vote

is what is needed. This will not
only be a benefit to the New York
governor, but will revive Democratic

PROHIBITION CANDIDATES

'ance Union. claims it can influence
100000 women to vote for pro-
hibition candidates regardless of
party. That, at least, is the objec-
tive of the organiza ton With the
w. T. c. L. influencing" women.
and the Anti-saloon League and
various churches generally trying to
influence men in favor. of voting
for prohibition candidates, the vets
! have something to think about.
The position: taken by these dry
organizations is nothing new; but
the point is, the campaign. is being
intensified all along the line. So far
as we, can observe with binoculars,
microscopes and telescopes, the VIZ.
do not enjoy the advantage of any
such organization or campaign pol
icy. The. best. the vets can do, it
seems, is to shout defiance through
the wet newspapers of the larger
cities. This makes a fine showing
in print-but not necessarily means
the election OF wet representatives
in Congress. II there is still truth
that the proof of the pudding is in
the eating thereof. the drys are con-
tinually achieving success in elect
ing prohibition fellows to Congress.
The next session will be more dry
than the last. and that is how it
usually goes And still they talk
about resembling the 18th amend
ment! .
Electing. men to office merely
because they are bone dry, how
ever, has its disadvanta ges to the
nation. Many dry congressman is
a fool in more respects than one.
Men should be elected to Congress
because of their knowledg of public
eustions and their sanity in inter
preting them to the interest of the
country at large. Putting them in
office because they are prohibi
tionists. regardless of. what their
policies may be on other public
questions, elects mem who would
best serve the country by remaining
in private life. But it is being done
right along, and Judging by what
one reads, it will continue TO be
done, now that large element of
the population insists upon making
prohibition the sine qua non of pub
lie service.
The vets are so disorganized that
they frequently assist IN. electine
dry candidates--that is, the kind of
dry Candidates who don't advertise
the fact, the sort who straddle with
weasle words and who travel along
the political highway under the
aegis Of a political party, usually
the Republican party. The vets
may not. know when they are vot-
ing for a dry candidate; but the
drys always do. That is one differ
ence between the drys and the vets
perhaps the most important. dit
ference.
conditions being as they are, IL rs
hardly worth while to attempt more
than reference to them; no con
.struct1Ve advice is possible, because
the drys don't need it and the vets
won't accept it. Prohibition. remains
a handy subject for the wet metro
politan press to rail about without
bringing about definite change. The
cts say the law doesn't work; the
drys say it works fairly well and
want more enforcement" Both
may be right. But that doesn't
change the fact that the drys have
the most productive organization
for the nomination and election of
dry candidates.

STOCK MARKET
Is UNSETTLED
Heavy Selling of Oils and Low
Priced Motor Shares Is
TOday's Feature

New York, March R,-Hcavy
selling of oils and low priced motor
shares. based on unfavOrable dcvcl-
Opmcnts in those industries, un-
settled today's stock market. While
number Of stocks continued to
move against the general trend,
there was noticeable slackcning Of
the strong demand for investment
shares, many Of which established
new high records earlier in the
week.
The liquidation Of the oils were
inspired largely by the omission Of
dividends on the Pan American West
crn A. and Il. stocks. Although
slight reduction in the daily aver
age of gross crude oil production
was reported by the American Pc
trolcum Institute in the week ended
March &c, the daily output is still
about 100000 barrels above the cor
responding period last year.
Weakness of the motors reflected
the disappointing sales of some Of
the smaller companies. and also de-
mails of some of the recent merger
rumors. Dodge Brothers issues
again sank to new low levels for
the year.
The weekly steel trade reviews
were mixed in character. The Iron
Trade Review expressed the opinion
that n period Of declining production
was at hand, while the Iron Age
pointed out that there were no signs
of subsistence in either demand or
production. Freight car 4oadings in
the week ended March 10 crossed the
million mark for the seco"d conse-
cutive week, with the increase over
the preceding week due almost en-
tirely to the movement Of miscellan-
cous freight
Further accumulation. of Delaware
