assert, the amendment would
come before a legislature which
had been elected before the meas
ure got through congress; a legis-
lature whose members had not
campaigned as vets or drys and
who, in many cases, would have
no definite idea of the wishes of
their constituents on the matter.
To avoid this difficulty, a num-
Der Of leaders on both sides, but
especially among the vets, have
proposed that congress, in passing
the repeating act or the Substi-
tute amendment specify that state
conventions be called to ratify it.
Both major party platforms this
year suggest such a measure.
CTILL others feel that before
~ any change in the law is
brought up for definite considera-
ton, there should be some sort
of plebiscite which congress and
the legislatures could look to for
guidance.
Few of these people have sub
mitted concrete plans. Mostly they
argue that there should be either
a national referendum or a series
OF state referendums in which the
people would be asked to declare
whether they favored a continual
ton of the prohibition law or
drastic revision.
After such vote had been held.
it is proposed, congress would
have enough light on the subject
to enable it to pass a law accur-
ately expressing the. wishes of the
voters.
If the law that congress passed
called for further consideration by
the different states, the legislators
also would know just how their
constituents felt about it all.
A MOTHER way to settle the
"A matter would be to call a
national constitutional conven.
ton. This idea, however, has had
few hackers; for such convention
would be empowered not only to
consider change in the eight
zenith amendment, but also to
make any other change in the
Constitution it saw fit, and the
prohibition issue we'll might get
lost in the shuttle long before sthe
proceedings ended.
Finally, there is group of vets
which frankly leaves alteration of
the amendment itself out of con-
sideration and urges congress
simply to repeal the Volstead act
and leave the nation with con-
stitutional provision for prohibit
ton, but no means of enforcing 1t.
The idea, of course, is that the
law would straightway become a
dead letter, and that each state
could have as much or as little
prohibition as its chose by passing
its own laws on the matter.

WHETHER the end of prohi-
w bition as national policy
is actually any nearer today than
it was in 1920 is something that
only time-and, possibly, the COM
ing election-can tell.
One thing, though, is obvious:
Tactics of both the vets and the
drys have changed profoundly in
the last few years.
AS has been seen, prohibition
went into effect with hardly a dis
Senting vote, aside from the
plaintive cries of the brewers
and distillerS' associations.
No prominent political leader
lifted his voice to denounce it; no
party even suggested that the
question of repeal or modification
was worth debating.
In 1924 there was no wet-dry
issue in the presidential cam
paign. The way in which the
Smith McAdoo cohorts cut each
others Threats at Madison Square
Garden saw to that.
In 1928 both parties had dry
platforms, but one candidate gen.
orally was recognized as a dry
while the other generally was
recognized as a wet.
Since then things have happened
fast. Witness the 1882. Democratic
and Republican platforms.
MO longer are the vets simply
L demanding a change. They
are getting down to cases now
and offering specific suggestions
as to the way in which a change
should be brought about.
They actually are basing their
policy on the assumption that
something is going to be done
about prohibition and that the
chief problem now is that of how
and what.
At the same time, in some Sec
tions Of the dry camp change
in strategy has become apparent.
Until very recently, no friend
of prohibition would consent to
any proposal that the amendment
be submitted to any kind of vote.
Lately, however, many dry lead
erS (though by no means all of
them have stated frankly their
desire to have new vote on the
subject.
Some Of them, as devoutly in

SENATE FACES

Glass of Virginia Carries
Fight Over Prohibition
to Republicans.
MAY DELAY ADJ0URNING
Organized DryS Gather to
Decide Which Candidate
Gets Their Votes.
BY LEO r. SACK
Times STAFF Writer

WASHINGTON, July 14.-While
prohibition leaders confer in Wash
ington today on methods to throw
the organized drys behind the
presidential. candidacy of Herbert
Hoover and against Franklin D.
Roosevelt, a fight for submission of
constitutional amendment to re-
peal the eighteenth amendment
was being organized in the senate.
If it succeeds, prospective ed
journment of congress Saturday will
be delayed until the house can &C
cept or reject the measure.
The prohibition board of strategy,
which lost two fights at Chicago in
its efforts to prevent both conven-
tons from adopting any sort of an
prohibition plank, is meeting
today and Friday to make the best
of a bad situation.
Neither party platform appeals
to the uncompromiSing prohibition
lists and they may avoid a de-
ciSion as between parties, although,
as between candidates, Hoover'S
lack of declarations thus far are
more satisfactory than Roosevelt's
frank acceptance of the Democratic
repeal platform.
But until Hoover discusses rrohi-
bition in his acceptance speech, the
board of strategy will withhold de-
ciSion.
Glass Demands Action
Meanwhile, Senator Carter Glass
Oem., Va), one of the leaders in
the successful fight to pigeonhole
the Bingham 2.75 per cent beer bill,
has introduced repeal resolution
to carry out the pledge of the DEM
ocratic and Republican platforms.
Prevented by Senator Norris Rep.,
Neb.) from obtaining immediate
consideration, glass announced he
will call up his measure again
Aside from repeating the eighteenth
amendment, Glass plan reserves to
each state the regulation of the
liquor traffic, except by sale through
So-called Saloons" which are pro-
hibited, and it prohibits transporta-
ton of liquors from wet to dry
states.
Glass says his proposal is not a
mere gesture" but is an attempt
to carry out the purposes of the
Democratic platform, as we'll as the
one agreed to by the Virginia
Democratic convention.
"It is a proposition" he said,
which no Republican who is dis
posed to be guided by party declara-
ton can resent or resist. 1t is a
declaration in conformity largely
with the Democratic platform"
Test for Reput leans
Glass announced that he seeks
to "test the good faith and sin
certify of Senator Bingham and
other Republicans who have been
engaged in testing the sincerity of
the Democratic party"
GLASS denied his resolution was
political retaliation" against Bing-
ham, because he had placed Demo-
Gratis ION the spot" earlier in the
week, when they voted against his
beer plan, but he admitted that his
measure might be regarded as re
taliation."
Democrats, Smarting under the re-
ported loss of prestige they suffered
when they evaded a direct vote on
the Bingham resolution, are rejoic-
ing because they believe Glass Is
turning the tables on the Repub-
licanS.

favor of prohibition as ever, have
urged that national referendum
on the question be held, so that it
can be settled, one way or an
other, for good.
Confident that majority of the
citizens still are sold" on pro-
hibition, they are prepared to well
come a test vote.
It, Is about the ways and means
of holding such vote that much
of the discussion today is center
ing.
TINE most obvious way, per-
Il haps, is to have the vets try
to get prohibition out Of the Con-
stitution in the same way that the
drys got it in-by constitutional
amendment.
One school urges that congress
simply pass and submit to the
states for ratification a straight
out repeal of the eighteenth
amendment. This demand is con-
tanned in the Democratic plat
form.
