fault to the dryS; that much has
been determined. The operating

That it will take a long time

admitted by the vets. But it
took years of patient effort on
the part of the now defunct pro.

the Eighteenth Amendment and

paign just ended provided the
first real test Of the new wet

A wet ticket composed of
Thomas w. Phillips for governor

ator. was thrown into the field
against the powerfully intrenched
organizations and, although de-
feated. the wet ticket polled more
than a quarter of a million votes
in a total vote of about million
and a half.
When it is taken into consid-
Grafton that the wet ticket was
without organization support. that
1t had no precinct organization,
and that it presented speakers
in only about one-third of the
counties in Pennsylvania, the
showing Phillips and Bohlen
made is impressive.

To all intents and purposes,
the matter is a purely Congress

the practical experience and my
own observation of conditions in

It often has been said that

tremendous downpour Of rains
and the great variations of tenn
perature in the hydrogen, our

I never was Of that opinion,
but of course, that was largely
theory, and now have been
able to make a practical test.
I now have seen how easily
the difficulties that could arise
from weather conditions that
might exist in the zone of

airship.
There were no difficulties
whatever from the great heat
of the gas while the heavJ&
