PLEA TO STAY
STATE REPEAL
IS SMOTHERED
Move Made in House for
Striking Out Emergency
Clause Beaten.
EVANS ASKS FOR DELAY
Fourteen New Bills Are
Introduced in House
During Day.

Attempt to kill the emergency
clause in the Wright bone dry re-
peal was defeated by an over
whelming voice vote in the house
Of representatives today.
When the repeater, an admins
tration bill bearing names of more
than thirty representatives, came
down for second reading, Repre-
sentative H. H. Evans rep, New
CASTLE, minority floor leader, moved
to amend it by striking out the
emergency clause.
There's no reason for big rush
about this Wright repeal bill said
Evans. Il know you Democrats are
going to pass it. but you must re-
member that all Indiana's liquor
laws except the drunken driving act
are bound up in this repeal move.
If you make an emergency Of
this repeater, the people of Indiana
won't have any protection what
ever, because all liquor prosecutions
except cases Of drunken driving will
be up to federal courts.
No Emergency, Says Evans
why not let the repeal become
an act in orderly manner and after
due time, Just like any other bill?
Why not wait until congress acts?
I personally have little doubt that
the Volstead act will be repealed.
That's time enough for Indiana to
act. There's no emergency"
Representative Fred Galloway
Dem, Indianapolis Immediately
obtained the floor.
Il insist there is an emergency"
said Galloway. Last summer, I
needed medicinal whisky when doc
tors told me 1 had only a year to
live. I've only got four months to
go and this repeal is a personal
emergency with me-"
Representative j. CHM EllySon
Dem, Hammond. moved Evans
amendment be tabled and this was
done with clamor of ayes" from
the vets with only few scattered
votes from the drys.
