This Point About Collection of Accounts

Because of complications that might arise both the candi-
dates and the general public are thus advised about the
votes as offered on collection and the payment of ac-
counts. To avoid duplication in the issuing Of tickets and
in fairness to the merchants all payees should receive the
votes in person. or issue written order to any friend Of
the candidate, before votes will be issued. Of course a
check is considered equivalent to a written order. This
must be strictly adhered to. The public i urged to ask
for their votes the day or the time Of making the remit
lance on accounts. Please do not let time elapse on this
point. All merchants are glad to issue votes, but certain
ly they should not be expected to duplicate votes in any
instance.

DRY CAMP is
SPLIT BY WINE
MAKING CLAUSE
Suggestion for Revision of
VolStead Act Opens
Arguments.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. IA sharp
difference Of opinion between pro-
hibition leaders developed today
when z. G. Dinwiddie took excep-
ton to the suggestion of DR.. Clar-
ence True Wilson for a change in
the Volstead act to eliminate the
loophole permitting wine-making in
the home.
Dinwiddie is head of the national
temperance bureau and has been a
dry leader here for thirty years.
Wilson is secretary of the Method
ist board Of temperance, prohibition
and public morals.
Revealing some of the inside story
Of adoption of the Volstead act,
Dinwicdie said, section 90, exempt
ing from penalties of the act those
who make wine in the home, was
written by Wayne B. Wheeler, late
superintendent of the Anti Saloon
league. 1t is this section which has
legalized the sale of the much dis
cussed grape concentrate which
turns into wine
This section was drafted, Din
widdie said, with the express pur-
pose OF eXempting from prosecu-
ton farmers wives and others who
had been making light wines and
cider for flavoring, medicinal and
beverages purposes.
L do not agree with DR.. Wilson
and Senator Tydings that the Vol
stead act should be amended" Din
widdie said. "I have seen no re-
ports of increased drunkenness as a
result of section 20 and I believe
we should wait and see how this
grape business works out before
proposing any changes"
AS originally written, Dinwiddie
said, Section % contained the word
wine" but this was changed after
objections by some congressman and
drys. 1t now reads:
THE penalties provided in this
act against the manufacture of
liquor without permit shall not ap-
ply to person for manufacturing
notwithstanding cider and fruit
juices exclusively for use in his
home 60"
The word Notwithstanding was
interpreted to mean non-intoxicat-
ing in fact" so the wines made in
the home could contain more than
the legal minimum Of one-half of
one per cent alcohol.

products of manufacture and OF
agriculture. Export trade from this
