DRY LAW UPHELD
IN NORTH DAKOTA
Proposal to Repeal Clause in
State Constitution Rejected
by 5000 Votes.
BY the Associated Press.


FARGO. N. OAK, June 30.-North
Dakota voters have repudiated an
attempt to repeal the States prohibition
law
Returns today from Wednesdays
primary election showed that they
turned down a proposal to wipe out
the dry clause of the State constitu-
ton. The margin was comparatively
small-around 5000 votes--but 1t was
big enough to insure no change in the
statute, which has been on the books
since 1899
The prohibition clause forbids the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquors within the borders Of North
Dakota Attempts had been made to
modify It. but without success, ever. in
the days when most of the rest OF the
country was legally wet"
Last Spring petition was filed with
the secretary Of state by a group OF
anti-prohibitionists, calling for refer
endum on the question Of repeating the
law. A spirited campaign was made in
its behalf
Less than 400 OF the States 2 1872
precincts remained unreported early
today. and even the leaders fin the
repeal movement saw no chance to
upset the dry margin.

 Washington. D. C.. Sept. 5.-Tak- ing . leaf from Senator Bill" DoraAs dry book. the Association Asainst the Prohibition Amendment is laying plans to quiz every Con- neeticut candidate for congress as to his exact stand in the matter of prohibition.
 There s little likelihood that these potential Connecticut congress- men, however. will be able to add to the masterpieces of ambiguity which Senator Borah's questionnaire brought forth in such abundance whSa he asked the available presi- dsntSal timber this spring to tell what Y thought about the dry-wet controversy.
 For one thing, doubts have been entertained here that the dictionary ef double meanings provoked by the NOPah quix could be surpassed by candidates of any sort. Chiefly. how ever. this belief arises from the very speci6c questions which Henry E.. Curran, president of the association. is asking all Connecticut candidates for congress to answer. The inter eogatory part of the questionnaire is composed of but three questions. and only one of them needs more than a mere ''yes" or mo" for reply. Genius of . sort that is not overflowing even among congressional candidates is eensrally necessary to convey either light or dark shades of meaning to a simple "yes" or mo"
 Of course. it is not at all impossi- ble that these candidates. or some of them. will insist clamorously on keeping their respective mouths shut. But the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment appends . rather ominous notice to its state Inent, declaring that it seeks to put every candidate definitely" on rec ord in the matter. The publicity at- tendant on definitely" putting these candidates on record should not be of . comfortable kind for those who fail to say one thing or the other; such a policy apparently would offer too much ammunition for the enemy Of however moist or arid leanings.
 The statement carries a consider able slsam of hope, however, for ths wetter among the candidates. fol 1t was declared that the association will depend on the responses to its Questionnaire for information lead ing to support of vets where they must oppose a dry in any district
