The thrusting forward early Of
prohibition as q controversial issue
has been promised the ne. cong

From the weller Of disc Lssion
trailing the American Legion's de-
mand for q referendum on the liq-
uor question arose today q pledge
by an anti-prohibitionist that a
bill for repeal Of the volstead act
would be introduced soon after
congress convenes. 1t came from
Rep. Britten. of Illinois.
On the other side Of the fence,

Sheppard Prepares
At Omaha, Nebraska, the veteran
Texas prohibitionist predicted the
legion's action would have slight
effect. He asserted an overvielm-
ing majority Of both houses of
congress would oppose submission
Of prohibition to the voters.
Rep. Britten saw In the legion's
vote the "deathknell" Of prohibi-
ton. He asserted If the service or
ganization anG the American fed
Grafton Of labor would use their
tremendous persuasive power" they
could bring about repeal OF the
Volstead law during the impending
congressional session.
TWO dry aders trained their
| guns upon the legion's vote. while
a third forecast the American peo-
pie would not be swayed from their
prohibition stand.
Meanwhile, an attack upon the
legion by DR.. Clarence True VIII
son, general secretary OF the
Methodist Episcopal church's tenn
perance board, asserting numbers OF
staggering drunks disgraced the
uniform and yelled for beer" drew
a counter charge from the league
for modification OF the Volstead
act.

HARLINCEN TO
HOLD ELECTION

HARLINGEN. Sept. 20 The
often postponed elections on two
different propositions finally will
be held here Tuesday.
One OF them will be on whether
the street between the two junior
high school buildings shall be
closed and the other on whether
West Street shall be closed where
!. bisects a triangular piece OF
property near the intersection with
Jackson street and whether the
property shall be sold to the Amer
lean Legion for 81.
Attention OF most OF the voters
probably will be directed at the
legion proposition. 1t is pointed out
that the property as 1t now stands
near the Aldridge- Kimmel Hdwe
Co, Is OF no value. BY closing the
street bisecting 1t the property viii
be enlarged somewhat, the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad having agreed
TO wave its claim 10 any additional
land created by closing Of the
street II the land Is sold TO the
legion. The street separates the
triangle from the railroad right OF
way. The legion could and would
use the location as a site for a
clubhouse.
The elections were postponed
several times due to another prop
osition and that was granting o!
a franchise to the Missouri Pacific
for a switch track In the alley be-
tween Van Buren, and Jackson
streets in a new industrial section
The railroad has come to an agree
ment with property owners how
ever. and petition for the election
was withdrawn. Errors in previous
election calls had led to new calls.
