Governor Lehman of New York sent . special message to the legis- lature demanding that 1t move swiftly to set up ratification ma chinerX. He also asked the state alcoholic beverage commission to report quickly on proposals for state regulation of liquor.
 In the legislature, New York democrats and republicans offered bill to call a ratifying convention April 18th or 25th. Thus the Elm pire state sought to wrest from Wyoming the distinction of being first to ratify the amendment. Wyoming has already enacted a law providing for a convention.
 In West Virginia plans were made to draft necessary legislation.
 Georgia became the first state of the old south to act when a resolu- tion for a state convention was offered in the house and referred to committee. Governor Black wood of South Carolina said that states legislature would act today.
 In the remaining eight states of the old south the outlook was less happy from an anti-prohibi- tion viewpoint. A survey by the United Press indicated that in most of them conventions would be called, but the outcome seemed dubious.
 Three southern state legislatures do not meet until next year. They are Virginia, Louisiana and Missis- sippi. Modification legislation in Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia has not been successful this session. The Florida legisla- ture meets in April. Tennessees legislature is definitely dry.
 Governor Ritchie of Maryland decided to withhold action until the state department forwarded him a copy of the Blaine resolu- tion.
 In Massachusetts Governor Ely called on the legislature to provide the convention machinery. Gover- nor Schmedeman said he expected Wisconsin to vote for ratification in May.
 Governor Constock of Michigan gave favorable consideration to a proposal to have the state legisla- ture sit as convention.
 Governor Rolph of California planned to ask the state legislature to call a ratification convention. The Ohio senate votes tomorrow on n bill to hold a convention election in November. The Missouri legis- laturc has a similar measure be- fore it.
 In Kansas and Oklahoma pro- posals for convention faced sever edry opposition which has successfully voted down state modification measures this year.
 Colorado, Oregon, Minnesota and Washington planned to seek an early vote on resubmission leg islation.
 In Rhode Island, which never ratified the 18th amendment plans were being made to allow the gov ernor power to fix the date for a convention.
 The Pennsylvania legislature considered two bills calling state convention and prescribing meth- ods of clecting delegates. One called for 33 delegates elected at large and one additional delegate for each of the 34 congressional districts. The other called for the election of a delegate from each congressional district with no pro- vision for delegates at large.
 Four bills providing for repeal conventions were introduced in the New Jersey legislature. They will be made special order of business Monday. The bills differ mainly In the number of delegates speci- fled, ranging from 81 to 226.

cd question will rest with state leg iAlatures.
 gBefore the amendment is wiped 6ut, three-fourths of the states or 36 in all, must by popularly elected Convention ratify it.
 e In an effort to act as speedily as possible, the state department Worked far into the night prepar- Ing the formal notications which must be sent out telling states of the action of the house and sen, ate.
 Fl It was anticipated that early to- day 4S envelopes carrying sealed and beribboned copies of the Blaine amendment would be in the mails. When they have been de- liyered to the respective governors, the federal government will have done all in its power to afford the nation a chance to act.
 NReports from scattered parts of the country and survey of the situation ahead, indicated that, despite congressional enthusiasm, the fight was far from decided. Anti-prohibitionist leaders settled down to q long, bitter battle. They anticipate tense struggle.
 Essentially, two problems con- font the jubilant wet forces. They must persuade legislatures to call conventions; and they must argue these conventions into accepting repeal.
 There was no disposition among congressional leaders to bludgeon states into action. The more mili- tant of the veteran anti-prohibi- tionists however, immediately pro- poyed legislation directing the call ing of conventions and providing federal funds and supervision. Speaker Garner drowned on the proposal. .
 Give the states a chance" Garner said. q believe that state legislators, even though personally opposed to repeal, would be sport ing enough not to block an express sion of the popular will"
 Others held the federal govern ment did not have power to force conventions.
 It was conceded. even by stall wart prohibitionists, that advo- catcs of immediate action on re- peel would have the whip hand after the next congress assembled. It will be wet by a majority so large that an anti-prohibition leg islation could be whipped through without effective protest.
 If sufficient state legislatures seemed reluctant to act on the re. pealer: congres might enact legis- lation to force conventions. The elimination of federal enforcement funds, meaning virtual notification, is another constant threat.
 President-elect Roosevelt was represented as gratified at the speedy congressional action. Jouett Shouse, president Of the Association Against the Prohibition Amend ment, predicted favorable state &C., ton.
 Meantime half dozen dry or- ganizations prepared to carry their light to the states. Staggered by the sweeping fashion in which con- gress shattered their first line of defense, they planned to meet here March to organize united counter-attack.
 The strategy of the prohibition fists is partly mapped out. Concen- trating In the small western and southern states traditionally "dry" they will seek to hold 13 in line. They hold little hope of halting ratification in the larger eastern and mid-western conventions.

The move to submit prohibition to the nations voters became an open race today.
 Within a few hours after con- gross had sent the Blaine rcsolu- ton to repeal the 18th amendment to the states yesterday, legislative action was begun to set up the necessary convention machinery in widely scattered states.
 In Washington the state depart ment worked far into the night to send to the AS governors official copies of the Blaine resolution and the proposed amendment.
 From New York to California and from Georgia to Washington legislators rushed to enact laws which would permit voters to ex- press their views on federal pro- hibition.
