DRY LAW REVOLT
Wet Force Declares Large Num-
bers of States Will Repudiate
Prohibition.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Rufus s. LuSk, national legislative
officer Of the Crusaders, an anti-prohi-
bition organization, predicted last night
that more States will be in open re-
volt against prohibition after the COM
ing elections than seeded from the
Union during the Civil War"
Eleven States seeded" Lusk said.
Sixteen have or are about to repudiate
prohibition. Over third of the popu-
lation of the United States will be living
by 1888 In territory without State en-
forcement acts, because nine States will
hold prohibition referendums in the
Fall to decide whether or not they will
retain their State liquor acts, and 1t Is
a foregone conclusion that every one of
them will strip their statute books Of
laws written to help Uncle Sam dry up
America.
"At the present time seven States,
namely, New York, Wisconsin, Montana,
Nevada, Rhode Island, Massachusetts,
and Maryland. having a population of
almost %, 600, 900 people, have no State
statute supplementing the eighteenth
amendment.
I'm the Fall, Louisiana, California,
Oregon, Michigan, Washington, Colo
RADIO, North Dakota, New Jersey and
Arizona will hold referendum on re-
pealing their enforcement acts. These
States have a population of 21,oo0,0OO
people.
I'm addition, Wyoming, Connecticut
and Louisiana will have an advisory
referendum on prohibition repeal-not
revision-such as Texas held in July
when the Lone Star State voted SO
Overwhelmingly for the repeal Of the
eighteenth amendment that Senator
Morris Sheppard its author, has become
silent as a clam"

rect such an anomalous and intolerable
situation.
"Co-workers in our various groups
know that I, with others. have stressed
the situation and urged its remedy ever
since the adoption Of the amendment,
and have frankly indicated the danger
in failure to do so.
Believes Enforcement Possible.
IT am of the opinion it is still pos
sible to secure these desiderata without
the ruthless destruction of the eight
eenth amendment, and therefore md
myself in accord with President Hoo
ver's insistence that the admitted gains
under prohibition must be preserved
at all hazards while the abuses which
have arisen must be eliminated
1T ought to be worth much to the
American people to have as President
one who approaches this difficult and
perplexing, but tremendously important,
problem in constructive rather than a
destructive frame Of mind.
THE situation reflects no credit on
the militant vets who have vigorously
opposed enforcement and rendered 1t as
difficult as possible, belittled the ac-
complishments of prohibition, fought
against a fair, honest test and cham
of our people, still believe, are anxious
to find an adequate solution to this
vexatious problem.
without resentment, but with a full
understanding of its import, I regret to
cav that the conditions which the
President reveals, and which many OF
us were compelled to realize, form an
indictment of many of our people as
lacking innate and genuine respect Tor
law-not alone the prohibition law, but
law in general. 1t is our besetting sin.
It touches the vitals of democratic gov
eminent, and remains an outstanding
menace to republican institutions.
Favor Hoover's Reelection.
after consideration Of this entire
situation in all its bearings, and from
all angles, President Hoovers reelection
is favored because Of his desire to reach
satisfactory solution of this problem;
because he follows constructive and
not destructive course; because he has
shown himself above mob influence, and
because of his high conceptions Of his
duties as President which have impelled
him to place duty as he sees 1t above
mere expediency.
"So-called drys generally do not ac-
cept some sections of the Republican
platform plank on prohibition. They
are opposed to the Democratic plank
which calls for repeal and the return
of beer before repeal is secured. Drys
cannot be expected to favor submission.
They oppose repeal. They are against
the convention system Of ratifying
amendments. They are for the amend
ment and its enforcement, and they are
unconvinced that the American people
are for wholesale and unconditional an
nulment."

tics of Methodist Board.

A decline in arrests for drunkenness
since prohibition was claimed yester-
day BY Deets Pickett, research secretary
of the Methodist Beard of Temperance,

gathered by the Government at the re-
quest of a member of the Senate.
The figures, giving totals by the year
from 1910 to 1880 and reduced to a
rate per population, were based upon re-
ports from IS cities of more than $500
population in 1910. the number CT
municipalities reporting ranging upward
to lit in 1929 and ITO in 1880.
The statistics cited an increase in
the number of arrests per 10000 of
population from 173 in 1910 to 100 in
1917. In 1918, 19, 20 and 81 there
were declines to 142, 10l, 70 and go,
respectively.
From 124 in 1922 the figures showed
an increase. reaching a peak of 162 in
1928. For 1929 the figure was 156 and
for 1880 it was lat.
There is a decided tendency" Pickett
said, Ito increase in arrests for drunken
ness under the license system, which
strictions. and further greatly decreased
by wartime prohibition for half the
year 1919. the decrease being somewhat
greater in cities of smaller size.
I'm 1920 we find the rate quite low:
there Is an increase as the propaganda
against prohibition arises and bootleg
ging operations become better organized,
the rate reaching high point about
1928, declining thereafter. Unfortunate
ly figures are not available for 1881
