CONGRESS POLL
REVEALS DRYS
THINK WET "
100 "In Their Hearts" Want.
Prohibition Repealed; Only
43 Vote Against Amendment

There are 100 members of the
Seventy-second Congress who "in
their hearts want the Eight
eenth Amendment erased from
the Constitution, but of these
only 43 are openly wet" and
scornful of hypocrisy on the
liquor issue.
This is one of the high lights
Of a secret poll of 200 senators
and. representatives. taken. by
william H. Crawford, New York
newspaperman, and set forth In
q graphic article in the COsmO-
pOlitan Magazine in its April
issue.
Fear Dry LObbieS
Mr.. Crawford thus summarizes
the condition which prohibition
has produced in Congress:
"Two-thirds of the wet think
ers are so afraid of their back
home constituencies, and Of
what the great prohibition lob
bies-the Anti-SaloOn League
and Others-will do to them,
that they vote against their
true beliefs.
"Drys" Oppose Law
Out of the total of 200 law
makers interviewed, 157 have been
POLITICALLY dry" But in a secret
poll, however, 81 voted to con-
tinue the present law: 10 voted
for modification of the Volstead
act, and SO voted for repeal OF the
Eighteenth Amendment.
The honest view of members OF
Congress- as to the future OF the
dry law is thus revealed.
"FOrty-One believe there will
be no change in the present
laws, while the remaining 159
interviewed believed the Vol
stead act would be repealed or
modified.
"Only a bare 20 per cent of
predOminantly dry Representa-
tives believe prohibition will
stand as it is at present"
Those in favor of the repeal
Of the eighteenth amendment
were pointedly asked by Mr..
Crawford as to when sit would be
thrown overheard" by the nation.
Repeal Is Predicted
No less than forty asserted the
belief-again in strictest conf
dence - that the amendment
would be repealed by the 1888
session; forty-eight, by the next
Congress, which convenes in 1885;
and the remaining twenty-three,
by a later session.
But all of the repealerS be-
lieved ''the eighteenth amend
ment would be delivered its death
blow within the next ten years."
the writer asserts.
A canvass also was made as to
whom the 200 interviewed mem
bers of Congress believe will be

On the Democratic side, SO
