Any hope is ill-founded which the Dem
ocrats may have that McAdoo's disavow-
al of aspiration to be the Democratic pres
idential standard bearer leaves an open
field to Governor Smith
Political newspaper writer's are treating
the public to a daily installment of pre-
dictons and prophecies of what is going
to happen at the 1923 Democratic con-
venton. But they do not have to depend
upon predictions and prophecies in their
assertions that the drys will contest Gov
ernor Al Smiths bid for the nomination.
Hon. E. S. Meredith of Iowa, member
of President Wilson's cabinet, caused con-
sternation in the Democratic wet camp by
an interview given the Associated Press
in which he said that the retirement of
Mr. McAdoo necessitated ''the dry pro-
gressives of the party's selecting a new
leader within the next thirty days" Mr..
Meredith himself has been frequently men,
toned as a possible candidate for the
nomination.
His statement was followed by another
Associated Press dispatch from New York
reporting that Patrick II Callahan, dry
Democratic leader of Louisville, KY an

Gratis are holding a conference in Chicago

tiles. the Maynower has reserved rooms
for convention delegates at special rates,
much lower than the regular cost.
The location of the convention at
Washington is extraordinarily favorable
for securing the most noted speakers in
America. The new Congress will be in
session making it possible for Senators
and Representatives to appear on the pro-
gram.
With convention hotel facilities never
before equalled. with the dates and the
location extraordinarily favorable for at
tendance by both speakers and delegates,
with Congress in session and with the
congressional and presidential campaigns
in the most interesting and important
stage, the 35th Year Convention of the
Anti-Sa1oon League of America, on De-
cember 5 g, 7, and 8, will undoubtedly set
a new high mark for prohibition conyen-
tons.

PERSONAL INJUNCTION INVALID
Omaha Federal Judge Rules Against Per-
sonal Injunction; Says 1t Violates
Right Of Trial by Jury

UNFOLDING the right of a person to trial
by jury when criminal acts are involved,
Federal Judge Woodrough of Omaha on
September 20 held unconstitutional that
portion of the prohibition act which al
lows personal injunction. The opinion
was in answer to petition which charged
Fred Cunningham of SCOTS Bluff, Nebr,
with five offenses against the prohibition
laws, involving sale, transportation, pos
session and soliciting of orders for whis-
ky. A personal injunction was asked
which would have made it possible for a
Judge to send Cunningham to Jail for
contempt of court at any time if he kept
or carried any liquor.
Judge Woodrough held that the right
of a trial by jury is assured by the Con-
stitution, and chat an injunction relating
solely to the commission of personal acts
and not affecting property is deprivation
of liberty in violation of the Constitution"

DRY HOTELS FOR FRANCE
Company Organized to Establish
and Operate Temperance Hotels
in France; Even Wine Barred

An Associated Press dispatch carrying
a Paris dateline of October l, says that
temperance hotels and restaurants in which
neither liquor, beer nor wine is sold, are
toon to be established throughout France.
Organizers of the movement declare they
have received approval from tourists,
commercial travellers and others, and are
sure of success. The company is known
as the Blue Cross Hotel and Restaurant
Association, is capitalized for five million
francs The founder OF the company is
quoted as saying:
Frenchmen are using Tess and less
alcohol. People who few years ago
always took wine with their meals
now drink mineral water. The great
est consumers of spirits are foreign
ers, and it is they who keep up the
liquor consumption figures in France.
Our hotels and restaurants run on
strictly temperance principles will be
welcome to a great percentage OF the
French people.
