Mcbride Says His Cause Has
"Weathered the Storm"
DlnWlddle, Hepburn Pleased

Despite the fact that the wets
made q large gain in Tuesday,
election throughout the Nation
dry leaders today were jubilant
that they had successfully
fweathered the storm.
DR.. r. Scott Mcbride, genera
superintendent Of the Anti-Saloor
League today issued the follow
ing statement:
''The dry cause has weathered
the Democratic landslide and
che unprecedented wet cam
paign in q remarkable way. The
outcome proves the wisdom Of
non-partisan methods. Were the
drys ali in one party the land
slide in the opposite party would
be ruinOus.
'sIn this Years election IS
Senators were chosen and Of
these 20 are dry and s are wet.
The prohibition Issue was
sharply contested In the election
in the following States: Maine.
Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania.
Ohio, Iowa, Montana, and Dela-
ware.
ssWetg won in but two Of
these, Ohio and Massachusetts,.
"Other issues strongly pre-
vailed In both OF these States.
Dry Senators were, however.
elected I'm % other States In
which the vet candidates were
not formidable or both candi-
dates were dry. The next Sem
ate win have at least 10 more
drys than the number that
voted for submission OF pro.
hibition and the vote then was
S. to 20.
In the House election returns
show that about q dozen drys
were defeated by vets and
these added to the II drys lost
in the primary win make .
total of about two dozen In
the House. This leaves more
than 800 drys In the House and
less than 135 vets, 20 more
Glrys than submitted the
Eighteenth Amendment.
"This estimate is generous
to the vets. It represents
scarcely . return to Tiormalcy
from dry gains in the previous
landslide two years ago. The
very significant fact is that
no former dry who WabbIed or
betrayed primary declarations
was elected.
"The fact that the vets have
drawn the issue makes the drys
Of the next House more def
nitely dry rs well as the vets
more definitely wet. The out
standing gubernat0rial contests
were those i'm Ohio and Penn
syIvania. Both George White,
who wen In Ohio, and Clifford
Pincl1Ot who won in Pennsyl.
vania are outstanding and un-
wavering drys.

optimistic about the result o.
the election. He said:
"a casual survey Of the cleo
tiOn returns as far as now
known would give the ordinary
reader the idea Of tremendous
wet gain over the country.
Some such gain in the House
was unquesti0nably Registered
but mart Of them were already
noted as primary election 70
suits, but they were not relar

conseuuential as newspaper

"ACtual comparison win show
